The power could be expressed either way, and each has its merits and flaws. In this case I see the Aspect of Battle hacking away with its sword while spinning round. To me that sounds like multiple attacks with enough control to target only enemies, so I wrote it up as such. Unfortunately this is not the most optimal way to generate maximum or safest effect from a burst, but a rounded creature should have slight flaws as well as interesting advantages. With the alternate approach (your power description) I would see the Aspect of Battle swinging its sword round in one motion, maybe without being able to distingish between ally and enemy. This would make it a true burst attack. Each has its own effect on marks, concealment and powers. I try to present a range of approaches overall to allow for a little variation. In this case I just used the expression that I thought fitted the creatures style. Of course I havn't taken into account Hopitallers Blessing, and I also carry the baggage of the way that I handle certain powers that key off multiple attacks (and the definition of multiple attacks). But I must assume that anyone reading the creature will do so in the context of their own group and interpretation of rules, balancing and making any needed modifications accordingly.</blockquote>
