Shadows do that, ok then. But unless there's this really high potency of such abilities, mind + soul attacks just get resisted.

If he goes so far as to use his smiting sword, he's definitely keeping it on his sword till he lands it, and spikes aren't stopping him if he's reached the determination to use it. And he can use other moves with it active (they wouldn't carry it, but they still exist). He could also cancel it just to quickly use it again if he needs that strategy.
