He even takes his time, about ten or so seconds building up the energy, on what he can grasp from his memories what Auron taught him. Put everything into the slice, focus it into one part - an attack enough to crack and shatter what makes contact with it. ... with a fancier, more succinct language, but that part isn't important.
