Action p.24 has a rule for "kayoing" someone without the need for a special power. Basically it's a cinematic campaign option, so ask your GM about that (or about buying Rules Exemption (Can Kayo) [1] if it's not a generally available maneuver in the world).

As others have mentioned, Afflictions are generally a really bad deal unless you buy Malediction, at which point they become a rather good deal. But your description makes it clear that you're talking about a physical attack, so Malediction doesn't fit so well either.
