>Evening Choice has been locked to prepare to tomorrow

You're about to continue cultivating for the afternoon when a Physical Jewel Master comes up to you.

"Zou-Do-Shai, I'm sorry about this but you won't have any free time off tomorrow, the scouts have spotted a massive monstrosity covering the castle, you were part of the Evil Element Massacre a few days ago right? Well imagine that, but as big as a castle and with two horns on its head. Some of the people who got close to the area went kinda mad, so we've called in the Central Hunters for some assistance with this. This means another Expedition, but, as this a new ruler of the forest, its going to be sending out scouts to cover the area, including this area.
In other words, we are preparing for an attempted invasion of Evil Element beasts.

You can buy a holy amulet blessed by the Priestess in the City for 20 Gold, or go without, your death not mine. Good luck!"

You see a wooden unpainted cross on his belt, with a metal knife stuck to the end.

>>3664328

>Buy Holy Amulet
>Attend to the flank with other Heavenly Energy Users

You have 43 Gold

Apparently this should protect you from illusions and delusions from up to Low Level Shi Stage Evil Element beasts, but from what you remember you have some doubts, could that reaper really have been only an illusion?

The Guard has been doing his job for decades now, you trust him to find a good team, 17 of the Camp's 19 Jewel Masters are at this point, with one Earth Elemental Jewel Master fortifying the barriers and a the Life Element Jewel Master who is going to be running around everywhere. So you join the flank, around 50 Heavenly Energy users of all ages are there, not strong enough to be reliable on the front lines but strong enough to be useful against a few stragglers, the hope being that as beasts reach the entrance, a few will go to the side, towards the flank.

You hunker down for the night. Other people take watch.

>You have run out of time!
>Sleep
>Start of the 19th day

You are woken up by another Hunter. The invasion has begun and the plan is working.

>Roll 1d100 for an Encounter best of three. A roll of 80 or above will result in a monster your Holy Amulet will not work on. We will be using the same mechanics as the expedition with the group.

Hell Hounds rush at you, about 10 of them, burning the grass at their feet, but trees seem fine.

That's when you see it, a massive group of Cursed Flesh running towards you. However all of them move to other people. You are ignored, you start to feel cold, flashes of deaths coming to you.

>The Grim Reaper (Skeleton) is dead!

It takes a casual swipe at you, but you're ready for it this time, you swing as hard as you can, and turn the Reaper's skull to dust, the scythe's blade never touching you. The bones start to turn to dust on their own, no life in them anyway. You see a tiny bead of a core in the ground.

You expected some resistance, but it was like cutting through butter, the scythe stays, apparently not part of this monster's physiology. You pick it up. Your Heavenly Energy reacting.

>Picked up Reaper's scythe
>Can insta-kill any enemy if it touches, but you can only roll your STR for damage, no scythe technique works with this.
>Can insta-kill you as well

You put it away for now, making sure to cover it with a few pieces of cloth

With the Grim Reaper dead, the monsters slowly appear less and less, until the Guard sends a messenger to say that for now, the invasion is over. We should expect fewer troops tomorrow too, as they know if they come here they will die.

"Hey Lad, I'm sorry today I need to work on some better defences like holy scriptures for tomorrow, we contacted the local Taoist Priest for help and he says he can carve in symbols of his faith into some wood to scare off some stronger ones. No Heavenly Energy Control training until this all blows over."

You can feel it, you're so close, your Dantian is straining to keep it all in, you need to cultivate aga-

"Young man could you come here please?"

"What? Why!?"

"Now that's not a way to speak to a priest, I just wanted to tell you that it's getting late, and I need to make some improvements to that Amulet, I think you were sold this on a partial lie, the Priestess doesn't do work like this, so I assume they went to some no-name priestess for a blessing instead. Let me help you out."

He takes your Holy Amulet from you, and prays with it in hand.

"There, all better. You should see a much more noticeable difference tomorrow."

You think things go well, you can't stop about cultivating, and start murmuring to yourself about a breakthrough.

"Hey Zou, you litterally broke through a few days ago, it's probably just jitters from that scythe guy, grats on killing him by the way, I kept getting flashes of my parents dying, almost made me loose it."

You see about 13 different Consolidated equipment, and multiple skills used. The Metal Armed Demon starts gathering red energy in its tube, however the Physical Jewel Masters work together to cut its arm off, enraged, it charges right through them, towards the Crystal Orb near the barracks. Shouting, in, in [I]Human[/I]

"FAMILY, AVENGE DEATH!"

However, using their longer range, the Elemental Jewel Masters burn and pierce it at a distance, its black blood seeping out, falling dead right before the orb, arms outstretched.

Its body disintegrates, a trick you think is unique to the Evil Element. Leaving behind a tennis ball sized core, and 2 Ebony solid horns.

"Everyone calm down!" the Guard shouts.

Things settle down after a few minutes, your heart still racing. It seems like nothing else will attack today, not after they have seen that die.

You know you have made it, the technique book disappears, wishing to be independent of its physical form, merging with you, telling you to focus the Heavenly Energy onto each of your wrists. Two generators form on them, supplying Heavenly Energy right where your Jewels will be. A flash of light appears on your left wrist. You see it, a Rainbow Moonstone sphere with streaks of Sapphire and Tourmaline down each side, with Amethyst and Green Jade swirls surrounding a Cat's Eye. Your Elemental Jewel. You don't even know what some of those Jewels represent, but you know the Rainbow Moonstone, like Shimuko said, and the Sapphire for water, Tourmaline for Wind and Green Jade for Life, but you don't know what the Amethyst or the long Cat's Eye running across the equator could be. The Jewel starts to orbit your wrist. You can feel the Energy in your left arm from Demon Hammer enter your Jewel, you don't know what that's about either.

You are an Elemental Jewel Master, a Low Level Shi Stage Elemental Jewel Master, with 6 Elements, one of them one of the 4 Great Elements. You feel great happiness and pride at this, an orphan, now a Jewel Master. You remember the Gold Medallion the King gave you, and the White Wooden Cross Shimuko gave you. However at the moment, you need some sleep.

Oh no. I think the motherboard has broken. Guess I'm QMing from my phone then.

>Visit Guard for Retracting Jewels

You go to see the Guard, with his control of Heavenly Energy he must know how to retract your Jewels.

"Lad, what do you want- Holy Shit come here!"

His draws you in for a massive bear hug.

"I knew you could do it! I just knew!"

He takes a quick look at your left arm, his expression of joy and relief slowly turning into concern and then fear.

"Ah, I guess I know why you're here then. Well come inside. If someone else sees your Jewels you could be snatched up by some random Clan! Now let me get a proper look. Let's see, wind, water, life, spacial from the Cat's Eye, Lightning from the amethyst and Saint from the Rainbow Moonstone. Oh god this is worse than I thougtht. Not like that I mean I am glad you have reached that height when I never did...but 6 Elements, even 1 Great Element. This is on par with the Elemental Leader for the Central Hunters, and she's a Heavenly Jewel Master! Tell you what, you may have some protection with staying with Shimuko a bit. You call her with that cross as soon as were finished here OK!"

He tells you that your Jewels are a part of you, a representation of your soul and also made from your Heavenly Energy. The trick is to slowly change the Heavenly Energy of your Jewels to match your internal Heavenly Energy. With your Heavenly Energy Control this should be simple enough, just use your soul as a catalyst

You find an area in the Cursed Forest to sit in. Then move Heavenly Energy into your Jewel. In front of your mind's eye, you see a 6-coloured wheel. One sixth is blue, one is dark green, one is purple, one is gray, one is a light green and one is white. You turn your attention to the white sixth. Immediately all of your Heavenly Energy rushes to your Jewel. You feel the Saint Element eminate weakly from your Jewel, warm and kind, you see the plants around you start to grow, the scars you earned whilst being a Hunter healing up, the air feels clearer, the darkness of the Cursed Forest subsides slightly and everything feels right with the world. You hold the cross to it in your right hand. The Saint Element rushing to it. You hear a voice in your head.

"Zou-Do-Shai, is that you? You have awakened in such short time? My gods you must be a prodigy, now I know you have the Saint Element, but considering this you must have others...we'll talk when you get to the Palace alright. Princess Jiang is in a good stretch of healing. I need you to go to a place in the City for me. A park just outside the Camp, then wait until late at night for a lift by plane into the Palace. Have patience Boy even with your Jewels they won't let you into the Palace without a recommendation. You don't want to use that Medallion now anyway."

No time for a lesson, but you can buy one of his books. You can also brag about your Jewel too if you want. Song Chad-Pah has started to cultivate too, so you can give him some tips.

>>3665120
You decide to travel back to the orphanage. You want to brag to your childhood friend about your awakening. Plus you want a book to read. It sounds like you will be staying a long time in the Palace. You think that you could buy one off him for a small fee.

The orphanage is not far from the Camp. You make it there in the mid-afternoon. After saying hi to old woman in charge you go to find Song Chad-Pah. He is only a week away from leaving and it shows.

"Zou-Do-Shai! I'm kinda busy here!"

Many, many official looking documents sit on his desk. Some of the books about reading sit on a nearby shelf covered with a fine layer of dust. However he seems so absorbed with his work that he does not turn to you.

He responds with annoyance, claiming that he needs this week to prepare for a job as an ambassador, and that he is writing down stuff on a cultivation technique he is starting to learn.

All you ask him is if he as an old book you could learn to read from. He says yes, but that it will cost you 10 Gold. As it came straight from a civil servant of the Dershwa Clan.

You buy the book. Then make your way to the landing spot, an almost entirely abandoned park with no grass in a rough circle in the middle.

At exactly midnight, you see a glint in the air, a completely silent version of the plane you rode during the trip home from the expedition has just landed in the centre of the park.

"Get in quick!" a female voice loudly whispers at you.

You do so, and are introduced to a dark, gloomy exterior, with a few cut gems serving as lights.

You sit down next to the pilot. No Jewels as she may not have summoned them yet. The Dershwa Clan symbol is printed on her similarly black uniform.

You won't sleep here, not with how you feel the wind pushing the plane back and forth. So you decide to cultivate to pass the time. You see the pilot eye you a bit as you do so, looking confused, but not mentioning why.

When you land, you are in the Palace, just as stunning as before, this time the King is not present so you notice a few more detials. The walls are made of amethyst and gold, but the landing area is made of Yellow Jade with green inlays marking the landing space for the "Shadow Eagle" you heard the pilot mention as she landed the craft. You see Shimuko standing there. Eyes glittering with hope.

"I see, there will be three main sections. Firstly, you can probably only use Saint Energy for about a minute, and you use up all of your Heavenly Energy. So we need to increase your Heavenly Energy total before any training can be done otherwise you will only be able to use it maybe twice a day. While a lot of the nessecary Heavenly Energy can be supplied with resources. You need as much as you can. The second part will involve teaching, you will learn what the Saint Element can do, where it can be used and what to use it on. The third part will be storing a skill for it, I have one in mind but for someone at Low Level Shi Stage a lot of preperation is needed to ensure success, as it is a 10 Star Skill.
Once we have done all that we will perform a surgery to realign her merdians. I need you to heal her using the Saint Element with me whilst I perform the surgery. Got all that? Well even if you don't it is midnight and I need some sleep. I suggest you get some too unless you have something important to tell me."

>Show Jewel

You think that your Life Element could help in this situation if even a little. So you summon your Jewel. It looks completely spherical, guess what you saw earlier could have been a trick of the light, but you're not sure.

"Say, you think my Life Element will help?"

"What? You have the Sai-"

She stops talking. You see her eyes darting around, looking at every kind of crystal you they are made up of.

"...No, it won't, it's too different to what we need, maybe for the post-surgery maybe. Just...get some sleep, I need to think about that Skill Storing session a bit more, with both spacial and wind you could become a decent Consolidated Equipment Master, I don't want you to go down that path however, that Lightning Element is perfect for combat, Water for the navy...Any way just put your damn special Jewel away!

You are woken up early, one of Shimuko's attendents has barged into your room with a special uniform for traning and a pouch filled with Beast Cores. You are lead to the training area and see both Shimuko and another, larger version of the Heavenly Energy Traning Orb at the Hunter's Camp.

"Well, get to it! I know the Hunters bought one of these after the expedition. We had been planning it for some time. So you should know how to use it. Hopefully you might be done by the end of today.

My PC has gone to be repaired. So I should have it back soon.
"Now then. For our purposes the Saint Element is similar to the Life Element. It has healing capabilities and can help treat and cure diseases, but it can do so much more. It not only boosts the healing of the Life Element, but can even grow back limbs or cure normally fatal illnesses like Heavenly Energy Corruption
However, it goes beyond this at Zun Stage and beyond, one could argue that the Saint Element purifies instead, purifying a wound back to normal, as it can deal extreme damage to the Evil Element and demonic beings. It can remove and treat curses. Legend states that at the Heavenly God Stage you could walk upon the world and be seen as a deity of all the good in existence. Purifying the root of all evil in a person.
However all this comes with one major drawback, you need to have some medical knowledge of both the physical and spiritual nature to use it properly, otherise you could heal a muscle and give your patient a tumour. So I will teach you some today. You will have some time tomorrow to practice your reading too, as you need to be able to read medical texts in order to progress on your own."

Only the Saint Element can boost stats well, and it needs a Stored Skill. Life Element is pure healing and can cause evolution in animals at higher levels.

For Saint (Can relate to skill ranks as well)
Shi- Healing
Zun - Greater Healing, Purification, Stat Boosts to others
Zong - Superior Healing. Holy Power, Purification, both self and others
King and above - See above, Holy Incarnation.

The medical information Shimuko teaches you is mostly about things you need to know for the surgery in a few days. Which is the main structure of the spiritual anatomy of a normal person vs Jiang Dershwa. You can see from some Images Shimuko produces from her Light Element that her Dantian is normal, but her meridians are extremely long and have become tangled bacause of it. Shimuko thinks it's because her mother is a Heavenly Emperor Master who has the Life Element. She probably lost control of her Jewels during labour and mutated them to grow. The Dantian is located in the spritual version of the ilieum, the meridians follow simiar paths to the arteries and veins of blood, there also appears to be a chamber where a heart should be, yet Shimuko tells you that it being empty is normal, and that you would only need to worry about it if you were a Heavenly Jewel Master. She finishes up with a crash corse on human anatomy. This is a lot to take in, but you manage. Your Heavenly Energy improving your memory and body a small bit. Shimuko tells you that your job will be to heal the blood vessels and skin after the excess merdian has been cut away and she has connected the merdians into a normal pathway. She dismisses you, saying all she needs you to do for now is remember what you need to do during the operation. Saying that tomorrow the two of you will take a trip to the Stored Skill Palace to store skills for all but your Spacial Element.

You remember when first retracting your Jewel into the Generator that you saw small regularly spaced divets on them. Yet you didn't see them the second time. You summon your Jewels. No divets. You retract them. You don't see anything but a flash. Wait, the first time you did it you would have done it slower. So you intentionally do it slow. Lo and behold. You see them, they must sit only 3mm from the surface, but they are there.

You wonder what this could mean. You start to move your Jewel around for some minor Heavenly Energy Control practice whilst you think and you see small sparks of pure Heavenly Energy forming on your Jewel at some points of the journey. You find out that the sparks form whenever you spin your Jewel. Increasing in intensity then dying down when you stop, however, you think that after a certain point these sparks will fly off the Jewel at a direction you tell them to go. The sparks form a white sphere after a while. You can't help but imagine what would happen if you release them all in one place...

haha. No. Your entire cultivation technique was around independence. This is one way to make yourself independant to your Elements and your luck, both worldly things.

You do very well. The currently three books you have on the desk allow for easy comparison. By the time for bed you have grasped sentence structure in the present tense and the knowledge needed to perform the surgery. You are excited for tomorrow. You remember when you talked to that Fire Elemental Master in the Hunter's Camp. He told you that we absorb Stored Skills from beasts themselves! You have only suffered from powerful beasts. So to gain their weapons to kill them will be cathartic.

>You have run out of time!
>Sleep
>Start of the 23rd day

You wake up early and let the attendents wash you and put you in formal dress. They say that the King himself could turn up in the Stored Skill palace at any moment to consult the selection of beasts or oversee the proceedures for you and Shimuko's Skill storing. So you need to look respectable.

You make your way to the palace with directions in mind. You find a large cave with 6 separate entrences. Smallest from left to right. You see Shimuko Standing at the 4th one. Several Darkness Element Jewel Masters with her, all 7th Jewel and above.

"Now then, we will perform the sealing for that 10 Star Saint Skill first. Then go down the list. I had not found a Saint Element Skill for my third Jewel either. This is the perfect oppirtunity. You will come face to face with an angel looking monster. Pretty, but very deadly. It will be held still by these kind Darkness Element users and other measures. Place your hand on its body and insert your Heavenly Energy. Your Jewel will do the rest. Now get in there and don't die!"

You walk in. Compared to the rest of the cave, this one is made of cut onyx, you hear the Elemental Jewel Masters walk behind you. Murmuring about whivh limb they restrain. An Upper Level Zong Stage Master is volunteering to control the head.

You reach a massive chamber at the end, then you see her. A beautiful woman. Blonde hair, pale skin, striking blue eyes, staring at you. Covered in nothing but a white sheet. Then you see her wings, pure white , large and outstreched. Her ears are slightly pointed, like small triangles.
She is bound and chained up, you can see every limb, even her wings, shaking in effort to break free. She opens her mouth. Whispering in the lonely way only a broken prisoner can do.

"I just want to help. Please let me go. Please let me be free. Will you set me free? Please let me be free."

She keeps repeating this. However as you get closer she quietens down. Realising you have come like the rest. You know she is a monster. She seems like a person....but she's just a monster.

"I just want to make people better...please help me."

You ignore her. You remember the Guard's words that as monsters cultivate they become more human. You ignore her.

You put your hand on her body. Soft to the touch. The angel starts to raise her voice. You ignore her. You move your Heavenly Energy inside her. You hear her. You feel your Jewel react and it takes something from her. You hear her scream, brutally, you can't ignore her. You dash back. Dripping with sweat. The Darkness Elemental Masters catch you. Telling you that she's just a monster. You need to go back and tell Shimuko to come in soon.

You look back. Stopping in your tracks. The angel, head low, arms drooping. Looks up one last time. Her eyes widen in suprise. You can't hear her. You see her mouth move though. Mouth trying to smile in exhaustion.

"I know you can help people. I know you can see me. One day please help me."

You turn back. The onyx halls closing in. Suffocating you in pitch black. She was intelligent. She knew what you did. You think back to the Black Cat you killed. You know she was Human.

You finally reach Shimuko.

"What took you so long? Scared of a stupid beast now are you? Some Hunter you are. Her kind start off as birds for gods' sake.Wait here; I'm going for Greater Restoration too."

She returns. Expression the same as before.

"Now then. Off to the Wind beast I organised for you. It won't be a Heavenly King Stage beast, but it will still suffice, which skill sounds best to you?"

Yeah. But using stolen ideas isn't fun for me. At least in the skill department. Tell you what when we get our next Jewel you can tell me those skills then. I haven't watched much of fairy tail. So I'm going to be oblivious to stolen ideas unless someone tells me where it is from.

>>3670092
This one is cool. I will change the name though. Breathless Sphere. Much more wind related.

>>3670107
a skill that creates a minitornado that works as a drill around your wrist, can be used to punch with the power of a tornado "Storm Fist"
Also am guessing you are writing down all these ideas for future jewels and that skills grow stonger as we get mroe jewels and also as our cheat improves them?

You walk up to a Jade plaque with Stored Skills on them.

"What's Piercing Rapier?"

An attendent tells you. You notice that like all the attendents, he has his face covered.

"It is a 6 Star Skill which summons a rapier made of wind. You can then as the user swing or thrust the rapier to release blades of wind to target multiple ememies or use the blade as is. Many people come here and never store it successfully. The cost for trying is 5500 Gol-"

>Piercing Rapier 6 Stars, costs 40 Heavenly Energy. Rapier is plus 1d250 for standalone attack. Each wind blade that is released deals 1d80. Remember that with your cheat. Some of this can chage with training.
"We have Darkness Element users here no need to worry about that." Shimuko says.

That's when the attendent's head turns to her. "I see, thank you for coming to the Stored Skill Palace oh great Jewel Masters. I must be off now. The King wishes to be served. Goodbye."


You tell her that you want this one. You make your way down the second cave...

>Roll 1d100 to Store Skill best of three
>DC 20

niiiiice

will do the other 2 rolls if no answers in the next 5 minutes

Skills do not grow stronger with more Jewels. It will be difficult to organise and it forces people to go for higher ranked skills even if it costs more. No hassle. This is why your cheat is even more special. Your Skills can grow. Remember that anyone who's anyone in the Power Jewel community can Boost skills with Heavenly Energy.

You think to yourself. What if this one is real too? You almost relax as what appears is a tall mechanical woman. A mere imitation of a person in a wide green ballerina dress. It becomes completely immobile when the Darkess Element attaches to its arms and legs. Sealing them.

You insert your Heavenly Energy. Taking your time to notice any important changes. You take something from it with no reaction. That's when you see your Elemental Wheel appear. You see an Angel's wing on the white section and a rapier on the green one.

You leave. You have three more Elements to store. You ask the Darkness Element users about Storing the Spacial Element. The response is unanimous.

"Fuck off you bastard!" One of them even flips you off. Guess spacial must be really dangerous. You're not sure what it even does yet.

Shimuko reads to you the Water Element Plaque.

Player Choice
>Write-in overnight for interesting skill ideas. Similar boundries to Wind. Except Water focuses on control and defense more than attack.

I need to get some sleep or this medication won't have any effect. Quest will start again at 8am BST tomorrow. Goricnac I know you won't be able to be there so use this time to suggest ideas for a skill.

>>3670277
At 4 Stars and above Water Skills can be Ice instead.

>>3670277
creating a flexible barrier of water with slurry like consistency, fucntioning like a cushioning barrier that absorbs kinetic energy

>>3670277
>Flash Freeze Burst, Rank 5 Ice Skill, floods target with water and then freezes it, leading the target to be bound in a hastily made frozen coffin. Up to the QM for the rolls.

See you in the morning!

>Eight Flowing Mirror Fish 5 Star
>Summons 8 fish like mirrors that encircle the user within a set radius, intercepting attacks and even reflecting weaker moves.
>Able to shift between water and ice, the school can be controlled manually for greater effectiveness but requires focus. >Main drawbacks are limited if nonexistent offensive use, inability for mirrors to "think or plan" will literally just swim around you either fast or slow and swim head first into anything, and while it is possible to resummon destroyed mirrors the number will always be eight either destroying already summoned mirrors or costing the full cost to summon less than eight total.
I see a lot of potential with our cheat for something like this, personally I'd like something like kamikaze fish or summoning an entire school of fish to smother any incoming attacks or even freezing/sticking to whatever they touch

>>3670292
Ok. All good ideas, but people need to vote on one only. If no votes are made in the next 3 minutes I will be rolling for it.

There is also the main problem that the majority of my players are not available to be here in the morning. So after water. I will stop the quest temporarily and continue at 16:00 hours. In the 8 hours between then and now. I should have my computer back, and I will be thinking up new Skills for Life and Lightning.

>>3672291

Vote for this counted. Writing now.

You want some defencive options. Especially as if you encounter an ememy with a lot of firepower. They can take you out in one hit. So you choose a water Skill called Kinetic Barrier. A 5 Star Stored Skill that forms a flexible barrier of partially frozen water, making its consistency closer to sludge. Which can block or absorb attacks which hit it.

>Kinetic Barrier, 5, 70 Heavenly Energy forms a flexible yet durable barrier where the user summons it; it is 3 times the size of the user and its shape can be changed. >Will block 5 attacks under 2000 damage. >Will break if encountered by an attack above this or more than 5 attacks. Notibly lacks a way to attack, only defend.


>Be back at 16:00 BST, think of Lightning and Life ideas for Skills in that time. Life focuses on healing, treating disease and animal evolution. Lightning is pure damage but can be used in inventive ways. Like at the 10 Star level, where there is a Skill which can turn you into lightning. Allowing you to zip through the clouds at lightning speed.

>>3672388
>Lightning
Armour of the Thunder God, Level 5 skill.
Creates a coating of lightning around its user's skin which repels metals and burns those who touch it. Moreover, it can consume Lightning-element attacks of a lower ranking and sustain itself with the Heavenly Energy within those attacks, but is dispelled by Wind-element skills.

Does this work?

>>3672388
> Double Lightning Shooting, Rank 1 Attack Skill, uses the electric field between two lightnings to shoot very small projectiles, costs 20 Heavenly Energy, has high evolutionary potential (es. Faster shooting, multiple shooting, angular and delayed shooting).

>>3672388
> Golden Fist of Life, Rank 6 Life Attack/Debuff Skill, charges the user's fist with Life energy to be transferred upon impact, overcharging the target's nerve system and causing muscular spasms and in the worst cases, cancerous growth in the impacted area. Costs 85 Heavenly Energy.

>>3672401
No. It does too much for a 5 star.
Lightning is a 2nd stage Element, so all skills are 4 Stars or above.
Something like absorbing an attack would be a signature ability, also expensive. Lightning is weak to Earth. Is complimentary to Wind.

For example

>Charging Gattling Barrage 7 Stars. Costs 100 Heavenly Energy to produce the glattling. Will form a minigun out of lighning which can be held in on one arm. Can absorb Lightning Element attacks, even your own and build up a charge which can be released as a barrage if lightning bullets. Deals damage total to the Lightning absorbed.


Lightning Armour would be a 9 Star and above skill. Increasing the natural lightning resistance you have to unimaginable heights and with physical contact has a chance to paralyse the person who touched it.

For Stored Skills you need to focus on one idea, like aoe or single attack or buffing. They are specific uses of Heavenly Energy to create a desired effect so nothing to vague or wide spread would be better. Magnestism, absorbtion, armour and electrical burns are separate specialisations.

>>3672437
This is a much better attempt. Focusing on an initial set up and projectiles. However you would need Heavenly Energy to supply excess projectiles.

A reminder that at Master Heavenly Energy Control you can attempt to make your own Skills on the fly without the need for an imprint from a beast. The Stored Skills are still very useful for you though as there technically is no limit to how they can grow, including decreasing the cost of said Skills.

>>3672439
I can certainly work with the overstimulation bit, however you are not actually healing a muscle or anything. So it wouldn't inflict a tumour or anything. You could just go with a self or aoe healling skill. Afteŕ all you are very squishy at the moment.

>>3672440
Interesting.

>Golden Spear, Rank 4 Attack Skill, Costs 65 Heavenly Energy
>Creates a lance of lightning that shoots out from the user's hand with incredible force.
Basically a point-and-shoot beam without any special properties.
What about this?

>>3672461
Yes. This is good. I would in fact change the Heavenly Energy cost to basically however much you want, as you can boost Stored Skills with your Heavenly Energy Control.

>>3672474
Thought I should post this as a review of your current skill list.

Saint: Greater Restoration 10 Stars, 120 Heavenly Energy, heals a major wound and fully recovers all Stamina.

Wind: Piercing Rapier 6 Stars, costs 40 Heavenly Energy. S Rapier is plus 1d250 for standalone attack. Each wind blade that is released deals 1d80. Remember that with your cheat. Some of this can change with training. "It is a 6 Star Skill which summons a rapier made of wind. You can then as the user swing or thrust the rapier to release blades of wind to target multiple ememies or use the blade as is." Obtained with Quads of evolution.

Water: Kinetic Barrier, 5 Stars, 70 Heavenly Energy forms a flexible yet durable barrier where the user summons it; it is 3 times the size of the user and its shape can be changed. Will block 5 attacks under 2000 damage. Will break if encountered by an attack above this or more than 5 attacks. Notibly lacks a way to attack, only defend.

Lightning: TBD ideas include
>>3672439
>>3672440
>>3672461
Life: TBD Ideas include a self heal. Aoe heal and
>>3672439


Spacial: TBD at a later date. I have a few ideas but we will think about it later.

>>3672497
I think this would be a good time for a complete character sheet. Maybe you could put something up on pastebin?

>>3672501
When I get my computer back and I have a good idea on how to use it sure. I can't do this properly on this tiny screen.

>>3672503
Good news! I have my computer back so I can start with a pastebin, this might take a while, as this is the first time I am making one myself. Google should be useful for the basic problems.

What should I list for the paste exposure?

>Cloak of the Thunder God, Rank 9 Skill Cost 15 Heavenly Energy per round, Infuses the users body, weapons and other skills with a lightning effect, improving speed, flexibility and damage, as well as adding a paralyzing effect to every attack, paralyzing effect can have its duration and DC increased with energy control

>>3672741
I think stats, inventory, details about Zou-do-Shai's Heavenly Jewels, existing cheats and known skills would be a good start. Then maybe a relationships section?
