[Sword & Shield] Coro Coro Contest! Name That Attack! PC Exclusive!

The attack name must be 8 letters or less

Please keep this rule in mind when posting. Any moves that are more than 8 characters (including spaces) will not be considered. Yes, localized names in the games can be over 8 characters, but this requirement is set with Japanese character limits and length in mind. Feel free to convert your names to Japanese characters if you are able to as it will usually shorten length (given that an 8-character limit is much more reasonable for Japanese vs English), but please do not suggest a move that is more than 8 characters if you stick with English.

Also, we will edit a new rule in shortly. You are limited to one name suggestion per member. Participating with multiple accounts is also not permitted.

It's too late but I just wanted to leave my idea here for posterity's sake:
エクスカリブレク
Excalibreak

I know it's probably too late, but I still wanted to share my idea:
Maumirer, which is just a combination of some old French versions of two words: maudire, which means 'to curse' and mireor, which means mirror (it also came from mirer, which is another old French version of mirror). Just to note, I thought of this stuff on the fly and I looked up on Wiktionary for my words because I have a bit of a thing to do that.

So, I looked at all the other names and I noticed a bunch of trends for all the names that I wanted to try to avoid with my name:

• A bunch of names all have Iron/Rust as part of the name.
• A bunch of names are based on knights, chivalry, or bravery to fit the Sword/Shield theme. Speaking of...
• Some names have Shield in the name.
• And a bunch of names are based on Excalibur. I'm gonna laugh silly if an Excalibur-based name is the winner of the contest, because now I can say that certain Pokemon can be a Saber because they shoot beams from their swords! (or sword/blade-like appendages...)

I also looked at the names and descriptions of the only three Special Steel-type moves we have (Excluding Z-Moves, of course). All three of them are attacks that use light-based energy. Of course, since I thought the name out of the fly, I didn't think about that, but people should think about that aspect of the current Special Steel-type moves we have at the moment. (Although I do think the one voted on the most got the memo.)

So my idea of this move is simple: The user shatters a cursed mirror and flings the shards of the mirror at the opponent. Of course, because said mirror is cursed, they lose half of their HP. Yeah, I know it sounds pretty stupid, but that's what I thought of in my head on the fly.
