Primal Breakpoint - A radical suggestion

Try this for an idea.
It would take a lot of programming to do.
Here's the idea:
When a players' energy reaches less than 20% a strange spirit awakens in them.
This power could be called Primal Breakpoint.
It's a last ditch attempt to win a battle and uses all of your magic.
Each species has a different ''Primal Breakpoint, but each causes phenomenal amounts of damage.

Elves could summon the spirits of the soil;
This could be illustrated by a giant leaf hitting the enemy.

Orcs could summon the spirits of the mountains;
This could be illustrated by a giant rock hitting the eneny.

Halflings could summon the spirits of the wind, which could be illustrated by a wind noise.

Lizards could summon the spirits of the water;
Water squares could appear around the enemy and kill them.

Humans could summon the spirits of light; a blinding white light could damage the enemy.
Thanks for reading this,
Simonic

SORRY! I forgot dwarves!

Dwarves could summon the spirits of fire,
This could be shown as a giant fireball hitting the enemy.

A giant leaf? Lol..
"Take that! And that! OOF!" as a big leafy plant falls on him.
People might drink poison just so they get strong and kill someone.
Or this could be used ONLY against monsters...

Why that ? People in illarion are normal mortals, no superheroes, pokemons or DragonballZ characters. We don't need such a thing.

Normal mortals that cast spells and slash demons to ribbons?
But yeah, that does sound like an idea for superheroes...

acutally, its a good idea.
but as damien said, its not pokemons or gowhos or whatever,
I Agree that ther eneeds to be a primal breakpoint, but it happens randomly and does a large amout of dammage, randomly with your weapon, not super legend of dragoon style spells....

Well, yes, it's not bad. But I don't think it should always happen, as Lloyd already said. And I would suggest that, if it doesn't kill the enemy instantly, after this you are so exhausted that it's only your enemie's decision if he kills you or not. You shouldn't have much to say in that fight anymore, not even be able to run away.
