Mystic strikes don't depend on the level of defeat to take effect. If a Humakti can use his Death mystic-strike-like Secret, then he will *kill* his opponent at -1 AP, not just leave him slightly sick to his stomach. Joe hero using a sword (or a feat, or spell, etc) will have to reduce his opponent to -40 to get the same effect.

Strikes should have a pretty permanent effect on the target (yes, I know that there are some pretty cheesy "mystic-strike-like" Secrets out there, but we're woeking on it). They should Kill/Drive mad/Illuminate/permanently change the target of the strike.
