Combat techniques

Dagger Arts: Learned Water Parry

* Threading the Needle, a length-wise attack that combines speed and curved attacks

* Impact Strike - used to deliver large amounts of concentrated force on the tip

* Side Winder - piercing attack to break through a formation

* Flow - similar to Threading the Needle, but the trajectory is more curved. It uses Shadow flames to boost damage.

* Scar - X-like cut with shadow flames

* Focus strike - concentrate strength beyond his limits into one strike, paralyzing the side of his body that uses this attack. Upon impact, unleash all the brutal force to cause enough damage to disintegrate the surrounding wound

* Stealth Dagger: Converged Existence - concentrates all his energy, physical strength, and cutting intent into his dagger. Has a stealth bonus.

* Water Parry: Diverts the incoming force and borrows a portion of it for himself.

Daggerless Arts: no change

* Cocoon: Barrier ability made from cutting intent

Martial Arts:

* Elemental Emulations: the 4 elemental inspirations

* Nature's Harmony: Increases the power of his attacks in proportion to the amount of plants in the area. The more, the better.

* Lighting Inspiration - All to Dust: Powerful physical attack that merges the 4 elemental inspirations, Nature's Harmony, shadow flames, cutting intent, and flashstep. Essentially a small nuke when it hits

Energy Techniques - Removed restricted part of Shadow Devour

* Flashstep: High-speed movement ability in a single direction. The average speed increases as his stats and control of energy increases, but he can go faster if he is willing to damage his body.

* Solid Core: Crystalizes the energy around the skin and muscles to gain a diamond-like defense. Decreased mobility while this is active

* Shadow Flames: Energy wraps around his weapon and vibrates at a high frequency to achieve a boost in sharpness. Also cuts anything it touches and can spread like flames. Very intensive in durability costs.

* Shadow Core (passive): Boosts the effectiveness of his energy, constantly upgrades as he refines more energy stats into it, can also act as a final form of energy when broken down.

* Crystallizing weapons: Applying the logic of Solid Core to weapons to increase resistance to damage. Also acts like a spare battery pack for his energy when running low.

* Crystal Manifestation: Solidifies energy outside the body to form any shape he wants. High demand for energy control and cost, but can catch the enemies off guard. Currently limited to support items.

* Dance of Death: Ability of Reapers that allows him to summon 3 silhouettes that move on their own and swap positions with. Very energy intensive since it's a percentage cost.

* Ultimate - Shadow Devour: Talent promotion choice. Now it only has a high energy requirement to use and no other drawbacks. Also causes soul injuries depending on where this attack lands.

[Talent Upgrade - Trailblazer's Path]

Synopsis: Despite the pre-established options, you were not content and decided to forge your own path. For this, EverRealm applauds you. However, your future is murky, and EverRealm cannot help you beyond this point. Everything will now depend on your efforts. Whether you surpass the previous paths or lose yourself in the brambles, only time will tell.

Developed Ability: Shadow Devour

Effect: Use at least 1,000 energy points to construct a vortex that shreds anything it touches. Deals 20x the consumed energy amount as damage. If this hits a weak point, multiply the damage by 3x and inflict 1% of the total damage on the soul. If this hits a fatal spot, instantly execute the target by destroying their soul.

Note: Your starting point is lower than the pre-developed paths, but your growth potential is higher. EverRealm has taken the first step for you, but you will need to continue developing your abilities. Otherwise, this opportunity will become your greatest shackle.
