Shockwave, also known as Jump Strike, is an offensive technique, useful when fighting several enemies.
This treasure is a racial perk for Moblins. As such, a Moblin can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. It is most commonly used by the largest Moblins, but is occasionally mastered by the smaller varieties as well. If a Moblin chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed price. Other races acquire this treasure normally.
The user concentrates their energy and strength into their fist for approximately one second, causing his fist to glow brightly. Slamming his fist or palm into the ground with all of their energy will unleash a shockwave in all directions along the ground's surface (or whichever surface was punched), traveling out a distance roughly equal to twice the user's height. Any objects or creatures touching affected ground will have the ground twist and contort beneath them, usually causing creatures to trip or smaller objects to be flung up into the air, depending on the weight and bearing of those affected. The actual punch itself deals no more damage to the struck object than the punch otherwise would. Generally, a decently-sized creatures can brace himself if he expects the shockwave.
Alternatively, the user can focus on his weapon in place of his fist, in which case the shockwave's radius becomes three times the length of the weapon's effective length. (If the wielder was holding a spear by its midpoint, for example, only the upper half of the weapon would determine the distance covered by the shockwave.)
The Shockwave treasure canonically appears in the Zelda series, initially in Ocarina of Time.
