My view is that Injury Attack should probably cost 5 points/level but require one of Cosmic, Irresistible attack, Malediction, or Sense-Based. Its principal upside would be bypassing specialized defenses against damage types; its principal downside would be an inability to usefully exploit vital areas.</GURPS>
