A silver-armored knight leans hard over a white horse lunging at full gallop, sword thrust straight into churning grey sky. His cloak and the horse's mane whip violently backward; dark clouds boil overhead while small birds scatter in broken formation.

Upright
Natural flowA white charger ripping through headwind, clouds ragged, blade cleaving empty air. Cold and swift — sever the knot, but watch you do not lop off an ally's fingers.
Reversed
Tension and blocksThe charge turns brutal: cutting first and asking later, or momentum with no heading. Brake one beat to listen.
