As a master of the ancestral weapons, you are now able to reserve a second weapon in either your inventory or a weaponbelt that can be drawn effortlessly When wielding one of your two favored weapons, if you attempt to do an attack that cannot be performed with the current weapon, you will draw the second weapon and strike automatically.

WIPE <weapon>

With this ability, you may layer venoms on an edged weapon. Each time that weapon hits somebody, one venom will poison your opponent, and disappear from the weapon.

Venoms work on a last-on, first-off basis, so if you put xentio on a weapon, and then put voyria on, the voyria would come off first, and the xentio second. You must possess a rag with the venom in order to apply it to a weapon.

In order to get rid of the venoms on a weapon, simply WIPE <weapon>.

This ability will allow you to target two separate body part locations with the Maul and Lacerate abilities.

Syntax: WARDEN PUMMEL <target> <ELBOWS|KNEECAPS|CHEST>

When your target is fallen or frozen, they are helpless to prevent you from pummeling their bones with your weapon. Depending on which part of their body you will attack, you will crush their bones for debilitating effects. This attack cannot be parried.

Knees: Gives the crushed kneecaps affliction. This will cause the victim to periodically fall over if one of their legs is crippled.

Elbows: Gives the crushed elbows affliction. This can cause abilities that require the arms to occasionally fail and hurt them in the process.

For a small willpower drain, you will build a roar deep within your stomach. During your Bear techniques, you'll have a chance to release a thunderously loud roar that will bring your opponent to their knees. If they are already prone, they will be knocked off balance, or further off balance.

Syntax: WARDEN MAIM <target>

Maim the target's head with repeated strikes from your weapon. This will initially afflict them with watery eyes.

For each 20% of the target's health that is missing after the damage is dealt, you will deal an additional affliction in the following order:
20% Indifference
40% Stuttering
60% Blackout

If they are entangled or bound, then your blade will cut through their bindings and free them when you twist your weapon.

This ability is passive.

When an enemy that is afflicted by dizziness dodges your Serpent-technique attack, you will have a chance to hone in on them and still leave a small wound. This will deliver any effects upon the blade.

Distract your target and then feint towards them, sending them stumbling backwards to the ground. If the target is mounted, you will spook their steed and cause them to be thrown to the ground.

- a champion of the Serpent clan

In order to combat them, you will have three skills:
Lunge - This will hit up to five random spirits in the location.
Duel - Challenge a target to a one on one exchange, heavily damaging them.

When you wish to end the trial, simply regather the power back into your ancestral mark.

Using this ability, you will be linked with the Underhalls, allowing you to sense those who perish and pass through it.

Syntax: ANCEST INHERIT

Syntax: ANCEST REGATHER
ANCEST ACKNOWLEDGE

The ancestral mark is your connection to the ancestors, allowing you call upon their powers even outside of the range of the bone crypts. Should you be focusing the power of your ancestral mark somewhere, you can regather to bring the power back and end whatever it was being used upon.

If you have yet to obtain the ancestral mark, you must go to Griana and RECEIVE ANCESTRAL MARK FROM GRIANA.

This effect may be stacked up to three times, with the entire process being consumed upon a successful impalement. However should they recover their soul in full or a period of time elapses since the first application, then the effect will fade.

The amount of bleeding caused is based upon the amount of soul missing upon the time of application, with the application that had the most amount of soul missing taking priority. It is then increased by the number of stacks applied upon being triggered. It cannot cause someone to bleed more than 2000 health points.

This ability can be performed off-balance, but consumes equilibrium.

Note that this effect is exclusive from the effects of the Debilitate skill, both cannot be used at the same time.

This ability can be performed off-balance, but consumes equilibrium.

ANCEST ATTUNE <target> CLEAR

Target soul: Below 75%
Soul restored: 15%

Coordinate a powerful strike against your target with the ancestors, having them await for you to deliver the attuned venom. When that venom enters the blood stream, the ancestors will strike, releasing an extra venom and some poison damage upon your opponent.

This will last for 45 seconds, increasing to 60 seconds if your target is below 50% soul when cast. This effect is then consumed once it is triggered.
