Melee in TL is just the same as in T1, but following T1 Story where you mostly dodge and counter-attack in the same lines. Down below you will find an example of this fair system.
Thor: obviously angered by Albert he stood up, his right hand reaching for a dagger at his waistline, now pulling it from this line he began to move toward Albert who was just sitting there, never assuming that Thor would strike. <> Albert: finally he noticed as the footsteps came closer, opening his eyes to watch Thor lumbering toward him, instantly his left hand reaching down for a dagger at his left hip, pulling it free from the sheath as he lifted it up toward the oncomer.
Now... once again, I'm only setting the stage.
Thor:he drove the blade down toward his chest quickly, at the same time his right hand reaching out toward his neck, intent on slaying him now, his right foot lifting up and trying to place it upon Albert's left foot.
Albert: he was too swift for Thor as he quickly raised his left foot up, and kicking toward Thor's exposed stomach, the dagger which he held being tossed into his right hand before Thor had even neared him. Now raising his right hand to parry the oncoming blade at the same time while if his foot connected, the chair would go backward, and he would roll out onto the ground.
Notice where it has to connect first before they can actually do anything.
Thor: the foot did hit him in the stomach, but it didn't do anything to him as his blade was also blocked, although taking a step back as Albert rolled out of the chair, and then lumbering forward once again to take another shot.
Albert: rolled quickly out of the chair, and onto his feet, he was sitting in a crouch before the man came toward him again, holding his left hand with the blade in it behind him, waiting for the giant to come land on the blade.
Now as you have just seen Thor would have to tell what the hit would do to him, unless otherwise stated Albert's kick was just a regular kick, meant for only what he was going to do if it did attack.
Now...as for magics, the same thing would apply with any magic, but as I have said before in TL you Do Not have to prep your magics, you just call out whatever it is, and it is done... for instance, refer to the example below.
Albert: he was angered by Thor's attempts, still waiting on him to get there he was growing tired of this slowness, he began to will his magics forward, a 5 foot aura of red forming around his almost hidden figure now, wait to see what would happen if Thor did touch this.
Thor: he was too smart to move forward, he would just stand there and wait to see if this magic would wear Albert down. He knew that infact most do get tired after a while struggling with their magics.
As you saw, there was no prep, only stating what happened when his magics were used...
Also in TL there is another thing that separates it from Type 1. This is a thing called "Post effect" What happens during this is if you are attacked, and are killed in that attack, the Post effect is like a second chance for you to do something. Hopefully in your next attempt you do suceed, or you'll be making a new character. The following will be an example of this.
Thor:was growing tired of waiting for Albert to wear down, it seemed like this would never end, but he was astonished as Albert began to move toward him, he froze in place as the aura was drawing closer and closer to him.
Albert: moved closer and closer, it would be clearily possible for the flesh to melt off of Thor the heat was so intense, he would most likely die from this exposure since he had not moved, he only grinned, awaiting the smelling of burning flesh.
This is the "Post Effect"....
Thor:although he was frozen, the hairs along his arms and legs were burnt from the heat, this drew him back into reality, quickly stepping back away from the aura which would have claimed his life.
For those of you who do not know this system, I hope that you have learned a little bit about what TL is.
