Crush Under
The Regent common attack Crush Under deals 7 to all enemies (8 upgraded), then gives every enemy this debuff at 1 stack (2 upgraded). On application it silently applies that much negative Strength. At the end of the enemy's own turn the power removes itself and gives the Strength back, so the loss covers the enemy's next attack and nothing after.

Notes
Strength has no floor, so an enemy at 0 ends at -1 and every hit of a multi-hit attack loses that much. Each enemy gets its own copy with its own count, and a second play adds stacks. Misery copies the debuff; the code tells the copy to skip its own Strength application once, because the negative Strength travels with it.
Rules and timing
It takes away Strength when gained and gives the same amount back when it is removed, at the end of its owner's turn.
