This "kata" represents the scientific and mental processes of the attack in the Spanish School. Similar to Kime, Geometric Attack is the single minded focus towards a given goal. The Duelist spends one melee round circling around their opponent, striking and defending as normal. The difference is that the duelist is not really trying to hit their opponent. What they are trying to do is work their opponent into a position where they can strike with maximum effect. What that advantage is exactly depends on the specifics of the battlefield. It could mean that the defender ends up standing on slippery ground, an obstacle sits behind the defender (preventing retreat), a bright light sits behind the attacker, or any other advantage that may come to hand.
Use of this kata requires a roll against Advanced Mathmatics (at +20%, due to the relative ease of geometery as opposed to advanced calculus). If successful, the kata begins. The melee round continues, with both sides manuevering for position. While defenses remain the same, all attacks made by the duelist are made at -5 to Strike (total, no other bonuses apply). If any succeed, the kata is disturbed and the duelist can not attack for the rest of the round and is at -3 to Parry and Dodge. At the end of the melee round, the opportunity comes and the duelist makes his real strike roll. The defender is at -5 to Parry or Dodge (total) the blow.
