Mystic in Training

*Practitioners of the Primal Fist learn the ways of the Monk first and foremost. As a result those in training will likely come up short when it comes to manipulating the essence of a desired Primal resulting in weaker spells and most notably the inability to summon a Egi or “Shade”, a technique that will be discussed later.*

Fist of Stone

Feel the essence of the Lord of Crags adding weight behind your blows, granting the Mystic greatly enhanced durability as their body becomes as resilient as stone…and as heavy as one too. In addition to the passive boost to their defenses the Mystic also gains the ability to create localized quakes and manipulate stone in a heavily scaled down but similar fashion to Titan himself.

Claws of Flame

Spark the essence of Ifrit and let your burning spirit turn all that would oppose you to ash. The aetheric techniques performed in this state will become fire aspected, a minor but potentially useful boon. This form is more taxing to maintain than its counterparts but it more than makes up for it with its overwhelming offensive capabilities.

Wings of Wind

Wake the essence of Garuda stirring within, granting the majesty and fury of the gale. In this state a Mystic becomes highly attuned to the air around them, sensing the slightest shift and reacting in kind with unparalleled agility. However; learning to do battle with this new sense can be difficult to master and may lead the unprepared to paranoid behavior. As before, the Mystic will gain the ability to gather and violently release aspected aether, in this case wind, at will. For a resourceful warrior this will provide better mobility and ranged offense both.

Mystic Mastered

*The first mark of a true master of the Primal Fist is the ability to summon one’s focus as a powerful weapon to amplify one’s use of the essences. The second sign being the ability to summon a Shade of said Primal. A Shade is short lived summoned being heavily shaped by the caster’s heart. As a result they look different than their original Primal bodies but have similar personalities.*

Heart of the Inferno

You forge the essence of Ifrit into a weapon of righteous justice. Cazhim expressed this by gaining the ability to cast forth the burning chains and nails once used by the original Primal for greater offensive and mobility options. This combined with his Way of the Lance techniques make for an explosively devastating combination. The mastery of this form makes the Mystic feel at one with the flame, removing the fear of overheating.

Heart of the Vortex

You embody the essence of Garuda, becoming the calm within and the storm without. In this state the previously acquired control over wind and likewise aspected aether is enhanced to match the keen fury of Garuda. In Cazhim’s case this made a fitting partner for his Way of the Blade style. When working in tandem with his Shade, Garuda can release her feathers for Cazhim to slash creating powerful tornadoes in their wake. If the two are in perfect sync their winds could force the very heavens to part.

Heart of the Mountain

You seize the essence of the Lord of Crags, attaining mastery over the battlefield to an even greater measure. With the earth now at their command, the Mystic is no longer inherently weighed down by this form and may dismiss or activate this effect at will. As for the weapon Cazhim chose, a hulking slab of stone, just barely recognizable as a sword, torn from the earth and his vast defensive abilities were then used to protect not only himself but those close to him as well. A role readily accepted by his Shade…when not crushing his foes first. Together this earth shattering pair leaves no room for escape.

Heart of the Conqueror

You command the essence of

Heart of the Reveler

You

Heart of the Undying

You enkindle the essence of the Phoenix, waking a nigh endless well of searing power within that burns away your foes and wounds with equal ease. Due to the extreme circumstances under which Cazhim awakened this form it is a bit of an outlier when compared to its peers. There is no focus or weapon present when this form is taken, instead the Shade attacks in perfect synchronicity with the Mystic, only manifesting a limb, wings or other portions of itself for the moments it is needed. In the same vein the Shade does not manifest itself as the others do. Most other Shades stand separately from their Mystic, a short distance to be certain but, never do they overlay themselves with the Mystic like the Phoenix does. The Phoenix may be unique or it may be the first step towards a level of mastery yet unknown where the Mystic and their Shade truly become one.

Appearance of the Shades

“A Shade’s appearance, like Primals, is heavily influenced by the one summoning them. As a result Shades are vastly differ from Mystic to Mystic. What will be described are the Shades of the Founding Mystic: Cazhim Delrune.”

Titan:

The Shade of Titan resembles a muscular Roegadyn man of earthen brown complexion and long white hair braided into a pony tail. His attire is simple consisting of loose pants, a sash and large prayer beads that wrap around his waist and over his left shoulder, as well as a white mask. The mask is carved to resemble Titan’s original face in a simplified fashion. The eyes and mouth bear earth aspected crystals that obscure visibility of the features underneath. Despite his imposing figure there is an undeniable air of tranquility around him.
