Both halves of the loop: it banks a resource and cashes one in.

What it doesRead from the engine's own effect table.

Effect	Value	What it does
Lose HP	1	You lose this much HP. It ignores your Guard — this is a cost you pay, not damage you take.
Wrath	2	Permanent (this combat) bonus to attack damage.
Unleash	1	Attack for value × your current Wrath (accumulated-strength cash-out; Wrath is the damage, not re-added)
Guard	9	Gain this much Guard. Guard absorbs incoming damage and resets at the start of your turn unless something says otherwise.
Hone	1	Add value to this turn's pending Hone; at END of turn it becomes permanent Edge only if you played ≤2 cards (a 3rd play forfeits it all)

💪 Wrath: Adds its value to every attack you make. Lasts the whole fight.
🛡 Guard: Absorbs incoming damage. Resets at the start of your turn.
🗡️ Hone: At turn's end, gain that much Edge — but only if you played 2 or fewer cards this turn. A third card forfeits all of it. Some foes dull your blade and cut what you bank, which is why the card says "up to".
