it might be the fight that occured last night where I displayed just a margin of control with book smack on a slower target than I, with 70% hit rate and 4 initiative mind you, and those book smacks stopped the person I was facing from triggering a cherry blossom to heal.

I mostly had in mind a fight where as a tank with heavy armor taking 0 damage from the book smack I was locked down and prevented from taking more than one action per round for 20 or so rounds while someone slowly hit me with their extra momentum worth of spells to win. Keep in mind a tank has no way to crit and you pretty much always get full value from the booksmack, any time you can move and hit someone that isnt a duelist with a booksmack you gurantee they can use one less skill on you.
