I think the way Warren described Overpower is the most logical way to go with it.
I'm confused over folks confusion/dismissal of flash though. Paladins aren't gladiators, they're Paladins. They use magic, but as a tool, not as a main damage type. If you look at the actual attack, Flash is an aether flash-grenade. You gather aether into a small space, then it released in a bright burst of light. Completely harmless as a damaging attack, but if the other person has their eyes open, they're going to be temporarily blinded for a very short time.
Not that someone cannot rp a PLD that doesn't use magick, but think of the in-game job requirement as a guide to how it would be in-game. The Sultansworn wouldn't be hyped about teaching someone their specialized techniques who can't handle very basic conjury. Because that's all a Paladin does, *very* basic conjury.
