An interesting take on this discipline. Have you researched the "shadow" skill of Dim Mak?

>From a purely technical standpoint, the two skills are identical. All that differentiates them is the intent of the practitioner and whether or not said practitioner can use the skill on a target that is actively resisting.
 
A fight between two Servitors employing these opposing skills might make for intersting drama, since the Angelic one would be able to block or repair damage inflicted by the Demonic servitor much more effectively than the reverse.
 
Also, given that the basis of both techniques involves manipulating "chi" (which some players might interpret as "Essence"), could Dissonace have any affect on skill rolls? Perhaps at higher levels of the skills, could they even add a pain bonus to other attacks based on the target's Dissonance?
