I added some basic collision checks at first but decided to abandon this issue indefinitely for the following reasons:

Translating mouse movement on the visible frame into world-space isn't a trivial task. It requires
The amount of force each vertex in the polygon receives from that impact is difficult to calculate, I couldn't find much about that sort of physics online.
The force would need to be dispersed over time, which would require an entire new feature to the program
