Please specify where the "standard 8 points" are that the technique will be aiming for, not everyone is going to be familiar or know exactly what that is. Also I can't allow 8 simultaneous attacks at once, the strikes can be in rapid succession but not all at the same exact time.
Lastly for duration just simply use a number of posts, the speed at which you activate/utilize the technique is irrelevant to how long it lasts.
