Technique Name:Dragon Gathering Gale
Level:Feeble
Range:Martial Arts technique - Bua Gua Zhang
Description: A basically defensive technique, the user moves about gathering their momentum while defending against attacks. Boosts their defensive abilities by one rank by building momentum. Takes a quarter turn of using this technique before enough momentum is built to boost defensive abilities. While in this state, one cannot attack without loosing their momentum and having to start building it again, unless the technique in question specifically states otherwise. This also requires too much focus to use to be able to cast or prepare spells, with the exception of universal magic.
Drawback:cannot attack while using, except for techniques that SPECIFICALLY state otherwise. Cannot cast spells other than universal while using.
Technique Name:Gale Uproots Tree
Level:Feeble
Range:Martial Arts technique - Xing Yi Quan
Description:After building their momentum using another technique, one closes the distance between them and the target. Once there, they twist their body and put all of their momentum into that one attack. Ends the turn and uses all momentum. If momentum was built up for a full turn or more BEFORE using this technique, it inflicts one additional rank worth of damage.'
Drawback:requires a technique to build momentum beforehand. Devotes all momentum to the attack.
Technique Name: Qi Manipulation
Level: Feeble
Range: self
Description: By training the body, a mystical energy other than the Energy of magic 'Mana' can be unleashed. This energy is called 'Qi'. Qi cannot exist outside the human body for more than a short period. A simple application of this is to release Qi from the hands, arms, etc to allow the user to defend against non-material spells as if they were material. However, if they don't know how to block spells of that level, their ability to block immaterial as material is irrelevant.
Drawback: Cannot manipulate Qi and Magic at the same time, with the exception of Universal Spells. Cannot combine Mana and Qi into one technique.
Technique Name: Silent walk
Level: Feeble
Range: self
Description: By training the body, one can learn to walk without making a sound. Has little direct effect, but can make stealth much easier. Allows user to walk through bushes and such without making a sound as well.
Drawback: must be barefoot or wearing soft soled shoes
Technique Name: Ground Contraction
Level: Feeble
Range: self
Description: A neigh-legendary technique attributed to Sages in mythology. A technique performable only by those who specialize in physical combat. Allows the user to quickly transverse a range at will, a limited number of uses per post. However, there are some restrictions. . . First of all, at just the feeble level, one can only move across 5 meters at once, and while they become a neigh indiscernible blurred blob while in use, they are still moving slow enough for people of the user's rank to track. With each additional rank into this gained, the user's speed increases to the point that an additional rank above the user is required to track them.
For example, a Low level mage with two ranks into this(the first being the lowest level of Feeble) would be moving so fast that they are untraceable to anyone below Mid rank. In addition, with each additional rank gained into this, one is able to move up to five more meters in a single dash. Finally, there is a lag after coming out of this to when one is able to move freely again. This 'lag' is reduced with each rank of the user's, until they reach Grand Master Level, at which there is no lag.
Drawback: can only be used once per post, plus one additional time for each rank above Greenhorn the user is and one additional time for each rank above Feeble the user knows of this technique. Can only move in a straight line. Must be standing on the ground when using. Universal.
Name:Magic Cloth Spear
Level:Greenhorn
Description:Cloth Spears are a wide piece of cloth longer than the wielder's armspan, with a metal weight, often a sharpened weaponhead, on each corner. As it's a magical weapon, it has the ability to stretch up to thrice it's normal size. It cannot be broken or destroyed by non magical means, nor by magical means below mid-rank. Those with Arms Master, Soft Weapon Specialist, or Cloth Spear Specialist are able to manipulate it to entangle and attack in all sorts of ways.
Drawbacksoft weapon, difficult to use without specializing in it, or being a weapon master.
