Holding a charged attack longer should cost more, but not leave the player with nothing

A charge-up attack lets the player pay for power with time. The messy case is the player who keeps holding past what the energy allows, and a shot that costs more than the player has. Here is a clean rule for both.

Why this works

A fair deal gives the player something in return for whatever they can afford. Paying for the time they actually could hold, instead of refusing or giving everything free, keeps every press meaningful and the price honest.

When not to use it

Skip the paid charge when the attack should be a simple tap, or when waiting itself is the price, such as a bow that only needs time. Then the cost is a second bar you do not need.
