The spirits of their ancients enable the mystic warriors who learned this
skill to intensify their fighting when they come close to death. As their
blood runs from their body, they will attack more often while ignoring
injuries.
An injured character skilled at ashura has a chance to gain an extra attack
The ashura skill itself never suffers from any injury penalty.
When a samurai skilled in ashura would be killed, he makes his final stand,
raining blow upon blow on his would-be slayer. This final effort puts an
enormous strain on the samurai's body though, draining his energy quickly.
If the attacker is killed by this effort, it revitalizes the samurai enough
to remain standing.
