Example: COMBO DRAIMAN MNK LEFT SPP RIGHT SPP RIGHT

Syntax: KATAS
DEMONSTRATE <kata>
GRADERS
GRADE <person> <kata>

By practising your martial art through performances known as katas, you can greatly improve your martial form and technique. Each kata requires that you first obtain a certain belt in Tekura, done by learning lessons in the skillset before you may practice it.

Once you are of the required belt, you can then begin to practice the form. When you think you are ready, someone else can grade you in that kata. If you successfully complete the kata under the grading with no missteps, you will be considered a master of that form.

While mastering the various katas is not a requirement, doing so will improve the damage of various attacks in your repertoire by 2%.

Only someone who is either a black belt or at least three belts above you, and has mastered the kata themselves, can grade another.

Belt | Kata | Bonus to
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) White | Jakata | Jab, Hook, Palmstrike, Snapkick
2) Grey | Lisagi | Uppercut, Throatstrike
3) Yellow | Rhee | Hammerfist
4) Green | Philos | Sidekick, Roundhouse
5) Blue | Tykorima | Slam
6) Orange | Opha | Spear, Bladehand, Moonkick
7) Red | Nexus | Wrench
8) Purple | Kali | Backfist, Spinkick
9) Bronze | Do-san | Axekick
10) Silver | Rhythos | Whirlwind, Thunderkick
11) Gold | Krull | Jumpkick, Backbreaker
12) Black | <n/a> | <n/a>

Syntax: BDB and UNBLOCK BODY
Base chance: 25%

Although bracing your muscles in the body block will be a constant drain on your mental reserves, you will attempt to reduce all cutting and blunt damage you receive by half from adventurers and denizens.

Syntax: EVB and UNBLOCK EVADE

Your training in physical combat allows you a 3% chance to evade those that would try to attack you, providing you are not prone. The focus this block requires is a constant drain on both your mental reserves and willpower.

Syntax: SLT <target>

Should your opponent be upon the ground, you can pick them up and slam them painfully back into the ground.

Against adventurers, this throw will also counter and end any momentum a tumbling opponent may have.

Syntax: DASH <direction>

You can now dash in a particular direction, allowing you to move through multiple rooms at once. Adventurers will only follow you if they have the ability to pace themselves, or through some other means.

Syntax: WRT <target> [<LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>]

Your strong hands can now easily grip and wrench your opponent's limbs free of their sockets, causing tremendous trauma to that limb providing they are not standing and crippling it in the process. If the limb is already broken, then the trauma dealt is halved.

If all your opponent's arms and legs are crippled, they will be defenseless enough for you to forcefully wrench their neck and deliver a blow that will smash it completely. This will give them the crippled throat, smashed throat, and whiplash afflictions instead of trauma.

Syntax: GUARD <limb> or GUARD NOTHING

Similar to the weapon-user's parry ability, you will guard a specific limb and effectively nullify all damage to it if you are unhindered. However, if you are standing when you guard the limb, you will also snatch your opponent's arm and twist it, disrupting their own parry.

You can guard either the head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, or right leg.

You will be unable to guard a limb if you become prone (see HELP PRONE). Being fallen is excluded from this list.

Syntax: KIPUP

You can kip up immediately into your last stance if someone trips you to the floor, even if you are off balance.

Syntax: LSB and UNBLOCK LEGS
Base chance: 10%

By focusing upon your footwork, you can look for openings to counter with a blow to your opponent's legs when they deal damage to you. It requires at least one free leg to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. The strike cannot be parried and will not break limbs on its own.

You may not use the arm strike block simultaneously with this block.

Syntax: ASB and UNBLOCK ARMS
Base chance: 10%

This block will allow you to look for openings and counter with a blow to your opponent's arms when they deal direct damage to you. It requires at least one free arm to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep. The strike cannot be parried and will not break limbs on its own.

You may not use the leg strike block simultaneously with this block.

Syntax: TRB and UNBLOCK TRIP
Base chance: 10%

Assailants beware. With a bit of mental attention directed to your surroundings, should an opponent whom you haven't attacked tries to score a sly hit on you, you will try and counter by tripping them to the ground. It requires at least one free leg to act and will drain your mental reserves to upkeep.

This block will not work if you have recently fled combat, you must stand your ground.

Usage: FEINT <target> <limb>

By feinting an attack towards a particular limb, you can cause your opponent to shift their parry and upset their balance in fear.

Cooldown: 5 seconds

Syntax: PNB and UNBLOCK PINCH
Base chance: 15%

This powerful block searches for an opening in your opponent and strikes with a pinching blow to the neck that knocks them unconscious, but only when they deal damage to you first. You will only be successful if they are under two fifth's of their maximum health and you have at least one healthy arm. This requires a lot of focus and will have a constant tax on your mental reserves.

Syntax: BBT <target>

If your opponent is on the ground, you may lift them into the air and bring them back first down upon your knee, dealing powerful trauma to their torso. If they are suffering a crippled limb, then the force will weaken their back momentarily. If you manage to weaken their back three times in a row, then you will snap their spine and instantly kill them.

Cooldown (after effect): 20 seconds

Syntax: KAI TRANCE and BREAK TRANCE

Additional syntax: KAI

By focusing your mind, you will become sensitive to the flow of energy within those that reside in your location, allowing you to generate what is known as kai energy and perform feats of incredible power.

To begin with, once you have assumed the necessary trance after a delay, you will obtain an initial flux of kai energy to make use of. However, as you use your kai abilities, this kai will deplete until none is left. Using KAI will allow you to see how much kai you have.

Restoring this energy can be achieved by standing in the same location with those who you have declared an enemy at a passive rate. The amount of kai you gain is increased if you face up against multiple foes at once. If there are none, then your kai will slowly decay instead.

Use of the trance will drain your mana over time to upkeep, and should you break your trance, you will lose all accumulated kai energy.

After using an ability that consumes your kai energy, you will not be able to generate kai for a short period afterward. Be cautious of how and when you use your kai energy.

Kai Generation Cooldown (after use): 800 csecs

Syntax: KAI CRIPPLE <target>

Usage: KAI STRIKE <target>
Cost: 20 kai energy

Draw Kai energy into your fist and land a blow against their chest. In doing so, the energy will enter their torso and begin to heal it anew.

Cooldown: 25 seconds

Syntax: KAI HEAL [ALL]

Syntax: MIND SENSE <target>

With this ability, you are able to seek out the mind of another player, gaining knowledge of his physical location. There is no equilibrium or balance cost to perform this.

Syntax: MIND LOCK <target>
MIND CEASE

Telepathy is a powerful ability, but it all begins by forming a mental lock with your subject first. Mind locks take time to form as you break down the mental barriers of their subconscious, however the more adept you are at Telepathy, the faster you will be able to penetrate their mind. Once you have locked minds, a mental battle will begin as you attempt to hold control of your subject. The less willpower you have compared to your subject, the more likely you will be detected and ejected from his mind.

The time it takes to form a lock and the willpower cost of maintaining it is reduced when in the same location and elevation as your target.

When locking minds with someone who has declared you an ally, the time it takes is reduced to 5 seconds, and the willpower drain is half that of the base rate. These values are then set and cannot be modified.

Syntax: MIND DISSOLVE

Due to the ongoing effort required to maintain this ability, there is a constant loss of mental strength.

Syntax: MIND ISOLATE and MIND DEISOLATE

This ability will isolate a mind locked player from all mental communication they may attempt to send or receive. Normal communication such as speaking or shouting will still be heard.

Syntax: MIND LINK <telepath>
MIND UNLINK

By opening up a one way channel to another telepath, you are able to lend them some of your mental strength. This allows for telepathic feats that would otherwise be impossible.

It will also speed up the time it takes to achieve a mind lock on another for the telepath you are supporting.

Syntax: PSYCHALLENGE <player>

Psychic combat is a telepathic battle between two players where the goal is to crumple your opponent's mind. There is no penalty for losing, however those with deathsight will feel the moment a game is decided. There are only seven commands associated with psychic combat that may be used, and when you accept you will be transported to a special location out of harm's way. Most other commands will not work until the game is complete.

You can do the following in psychic combat:

PSY BLAST:
Blast your opponent's mind and attack their mental fortitude.

PSY BARRIER:
Erect a barrier that protects your mind from psychic blasts.

PSY WHIP:
Tear away your opponent's mental barrier if they have one.

PSY PROBE:
Use your mind to determine your opponent's mental energy.

PSY MEDITATE:
Meditate your mind in order to recover your mental energy. This is a slow process.

PSY ESCAPE:
This takes some time, during which you may not do anything else. Once the ability is successful, an exit will open up, allowing you to escape.

Syntax: MIND PROBE <ME|target>

By probing your subjects mind, you can gather a small amount of information on their mental activity without needing to form a mindlock. Your probe can reach as far as the local area.

Syntax: MIND TRANSFER <telepath>

Using this ability will allow you to transfer a mind lock to another telepath. The target telepath must be in the same area as you, for this is a delicate operation.

Syntax: MIND INSIGHT <ON|OFF>

Your ability to project psychic force allows you to view the surface thoughts of others in your location, or if you have locked minds with another.

In order to see what another is thinking, they must make use of the THINK command.

Syntax: MIND EMPATHY and MIND UNEMPATHY

This ability will allow you to form an empathatic link between you and your locked target, allowing you to heal the other periodically at the cost of your own body. This ability comes with a mental drain in order to upkeep your empathatic link.

Syntax: CLARITY

Clarity of mind is a defence against a weakened psyche, protecting you one time against the effects of dementia, hallucinations, or psychosis.

You will not be able to use this skill if you are afflicted by any affliction from the antipsychotic tree.

Please see HELP CURE ORDER for more information on afflictions from the antipsychotic tree.

Syntax: MIND COMMAND <command>

You have gained sufficient knowledge of the workings of the mind that you can now command your mind locked target into performing a single action of your choice.

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Syntax: MIND CLOAK <ON|OFF>

Cloak your telepathy from the senses of others. This will hide you most notibly from TELESENSE and make it more difficult to be detected when you are locked with another mind.

It will also make it easier to retain a mind lock, giving your opponent worse odds of ejecting or detecting your telepathy when your willpower runs low.

This ability is passive.

Your sensitivity to telepathic power has been heightened to the extreme, allowing you to make better use of Telesense. You can now see who is attempting to lock minds with another person, or yourself. Additionally they will be unable to hide themselves through cloaking their telepathy.

This ability will also improve the odds that you will either eject or detect a telepath's mind lock that is upon you.

You must be maintaining your Telesense in order to receive these benefits.

This ability is passive.

Your skill at telepathy has increased that you can now use minor telepathy attacks while off balance. Doing so however, will incur an extra equilibrium cost as compared to normal.

Skills that benefit from this:
Fear, Paralyse, Stupidity, Confuse, Recklessness, Epilepsy, Anorexia, Deadening, Amnesia, Divine, and Command.

Syntax: MIND BARRIER and MIND UNBARRIER

You are now able to protect a locked player against other telepathic attempts to control him by wrapping your mind around his.

This powerful ability will allow you scan through the mind of your locked target and gain a large amount of information about them and their inventory.

Syntax: MIND TRAVEL
Requires the linked mind of a friendly telepath.

An extremely complicated ability, this will allow you to create a pathway between your location and your locked target, transporting you instantly there. There is no equilibrium cost to use this maneuver.

Syntax: MIND RECONSTITUTE

Replenish your mana and willpower over time, at a cost in the form of a health and endurance drain. Using the ability again will turn it off.

If you fall below 50% health during the process, the effect will come to an end.

Syntax: MIND BLACKOUT

While they are under the effects of blackout, most aggressive telepathic attacks and their afflictions will be hidden from them, but not all.

Excluded telepathic attacks:
Command, Clamp, and Batter.

Cooldown: 25 seconds

Syntax: MIND ODYSSEY
Requires the linked mind of a friendly telepath.

This ability will allow you to drift through space and appear at the location of the telepath you have linked minds with.

Syntax: MIND RADIANCE

The most powerful attack a telepath has, this allows you to build up an awesome amount of telepathic power, then release it to your hapless victim, killing him instantly. Keep in mind that this requires a large amount of equilibrium in order to perform, and if the victim steps into the same location as you or breaks the mind lock, then your attempt will fail.

It is not possible to save yourself from death if you die in this manner, nor will it leave a body.

Syntax: MIND PRINT
FORGET <player>
MINDPRINTS

Once you have locked minds with a player, you are able to gain intimate knowledge of his mind, making it easier to gain a mind lock in the future. It will also make it easier to retain a mind lock, giving your opponent worse odds of ejecting or detecting your telepathy when your willpower runs low.

Due to the incredible complexity of the mind, you may only hold five indprints at once. There is a separate set of mind prints taken if you do so within the arena.

Syntax: MIND FEAR [target]

With this ability, you are able to throw the mind of another into a state of irrational fear.

Syntax: MIND HALLUCINATE [target] <illusion>

You are able to convince a target that he has seen whatever hallucination you deem fit.

Note: You can add a new line into your hallucination by using the tag $nl within the text, however you may only do this twice.

Syntax: MIND PARALYSE [target]

This ability temporarily rewires the mind of another player, preventing them from properly moving. This will inflict them with paresis.

Syntax: MIND CONFUSE [target]

By directing a powerful pulse of telepathic energy into the mind of another player, you are able to short-circuit his mental processes and cause them to be afflicted with confusion.

Syntax: MIND SUFFUSE [target]

Suffuse another with mental strength by sacrificing your own.

Syntax: MIND DRAIN [target]

Almost the reverse of suffuse, this drains mental strength from your target and bestows it upon you.

Syntax: MIND DIVINE [target]

By divining the mind, you can assert the exact knowledge of the physical and mental state of your target.

Syntax: MIND RECKLESSNESS [target]

Alter the mind of your target and make him unconcerned with his own well-being. This will afflict your target with recklessness.

Syntax: MIND DISRUPT [target]

With this ability, you may destroy the equilibrium of your target providing they have at least two mental afflictions or are suffering from blackout. They will not recover from it until they CONCENTRATE.

Look at HELP TYPES for more information on what is regarded as a mental affliction.

Syntax: MIND EPILEPSY [target]

By short-circuiting some of the nervous system of another player, you are able to cause periodic spasms in them. This will afflict them with epilepsy.

Syntax: MIND STUPIDITY [target]

By casting a net of psychic energy over your opponent's mind, you will cause his mind to occasionally misfire. This will afflict him with stupidity.

Syntax: MIND ANOREXIA [target]

By lowering their internal desires, you can make your opponent anorexic, giving them little desire to eat or drink. This will afflict him with anorexia.

Syntax: MIND AMNESIA [target]

A simple-sounding, though extremely effective ability, this allows you to cause short-term amnesia in your locked player. He will simply fail to execute the next action he attempts, as he will forget what he is doing before he manages to do it.

Syntax: MIND DEADENING [target]

This ability will cause your opponents mind to be dull, afflicting them with deadening.

Syntax: MIND CLEANSE <target>

This ability can be used through a mind lock or on another in the same location. You will aid the mind in throwing off its own mental illnesses, thereby curing the target of one mental affliction.

Syntax: MIND CRUSH [target]

This ability sends a crushing wave of mental energy at your subject, doing both psychic damage and draining their mana.

For each telepath that has linked minds with you, the damage and mana drain of crush will be slightly increased.

In addition, if you have locked minds with your target, your psychic might will spread to any allies of the target in the same location as them, crushing them as well.

Syntax: MIND STRIP [target]

Your mental prowess is such that you may coax your opponent into relaxing his defences.

Syntax: MIND PUSH [target] [SILENT]

By sheer force of will, you may push a random affliction from yourself to your target. While this will usually cure yourself of the affliction, you may choose the SILENT option, which will hide the affliction you gave to your opponent but in return it will not cure it from you.

There is a short period of immunity gained by the target after using this ability, where you may not use this ability on them again.

Syntax: MIND BATTER <target> [up to three afflictions]

This powerful telepathic attack will stun your target and allow you to inflict them with up to three hidden afflictions. If no afflictions are selected, then it will default to stupidity, epilepsy, and dizziness.

You may choose from the following:
Hallucinations, paresis, confusion, recklessness, epilepsy, stupidity, anorexia, dizziness.
