Sorry I haven't edited it yet, it was late when I posted it and since then I haven't had time.

Imagine the sword cuts just like any regular sword: this means that if it reaches the muscles under the skin, that muscle will become useless. Moreover, with a slash that would cause a normal blade to sever a limb, the limb in question will be completely immobilized, as if it was cut for real, and painted in blue on the doll.

If the user inflicts what with another weapon would be a lethal wound, the doll becomes painted immediately: after a few succesful slashes that deprive the opponents of their freedom of movement, it would be very easy to inflict a lethal wound. Aside from the fact that the sword is shorter than a normal nodachi, fighting with it requires the exact same skills as wielding a regular sword.
