Well in Hand

• "Well in Hand" is when some oversized figure holds much smaller figures in its hand(s).
• If the oversized figure is reaching for, or trying to box in the smaller figures with their hands, that is in Looming.
• If the oversized figure is actually oversized in the story, then that is in Giant Hands.
• If the oversized figure is messing with a chessboard, then all bets are off, and it's in Grandmaster.
