Note quite- because inflicting a -4 to willpower only add a maximum of -2 to your skill (16 SP)
So, for example, if you have final skill 18 and the enemy has will 16 you can turn that to final skill 16 and effective will 12.
It is quite a bit better a return than 'deceptive attack', and has the added advantage of being a quick contest.
With that said- I am just defending my thought about it violating the rule of 16, I am not challenging the ability to inflict the penalty, because Ghostdancer did balancing and play-testing on it and found it to be workable.
