.: Help for throttle

The throttle command drives your natural fangs into your
opponent's throat in a crushing choke, cutting off their air.
It deals direct damage, applies a lingering stamina drain, and
has a strong chance to shatter any spell your victim is casting.

Requirements:

  - Must have natural fangs (fanged species only)
  - Must be in active combat
  - Cannot be used if special move cooldown is active

Usage:

  throttle
  Attempt to throttle your current combat target

Mechanics:

  Damage: Moderate — the choke bite deals direct harm.
  Bleed: A successful throttle opens shallow throat wounds
    that bleed briefly.
  Stamina Drain: The Throttled condition saps stamina over
    several rounds as the victim struggles for breath.
  Cast Interrupt: When the victim is casting a spell, throttle
    has a high chance to shatter their concentration entirely.
    Their unspent conviction is partially refunded but the spell
    is lost.
  Cooldown: Shared with other special moves.
  Skill: Progresses Unarmed Combat

Throttle rewards patience — most valuable when an opponent is
mid-incantation, letting you silence the spell before it fires.
