I always figured it was the ability to add some sort of
magical energy to the attack. In the game I play, you
concentrate, and your hand builds energy as it travels the
arc of the blow, releasing the energy into the target.

The problem with the idea that KH means striking vulnerable
points is that (IMHO) that's what HTH skill is all about.
Anyone with enough practice can pick their target, roll
25 successes, and smash the victim flat. The adept power
is something else- something that can give you D damage,
where a *combat axe* only does S.
