So, you know in supernatural battles, one of the fighters gets hurled backward, his/her body dragging against the ground, leaving a ______ in their wake?
I can't find the right words for the dash. Can someone help me with this?

Trail? Path? Groove? All I can think off xD

ps: Trench maybe? I imagine you mean something like how in some mangas characters get thrown against the ground splitting it and leaving a "trail" until they stop

Trail of Smoke/Dust?

Or maybe an afterimage?

Sounds like a friction burn. Being dragged across the ground will create friction and burn. nvm read it wrong. thought you meant like what their body had after getting dragged.

You should use a violent word like fissure, gash, or scar
