Ji-Min (Ji-Min)

Through this move the user may search another's soul, learning information about their health, their mana and their nature. Whether they're troubled or at ease etc. This can be valuable information for them. With low proficiency, only one can be seen at a time, but with higher proficiency, you can see far more.

Novice: Can see 1 stat or weakness from target and reveals it to the party.
Proficient: Can see 2 stats or weaknesses from target and reveals it to the party.
Adept: Can see 3 stats or weaknesses from target and reveals it to the party.
Master: Can see 4 stats or weaknesses from target and reveals it to the party.

Additional Notes: Can be used pre-battle to analyze the enemy’s stats (usually hidden until combat-start). Specify which stat you wish to see (or if you want to search for weaknesses/skills).

Your eyes are hypnotic. You force someone to look into your gaze, trapping them in a trance-like state. The affected is overwhelmed with a feeling of exhaustion, falling asleep. Alternatively you can choose to keep them awake, but they will be dazed and slightly unaware of their surroundings, like they’re in a half-asleep state, and entirely entranced by you.

Novice: Charms enemy for 1 turn or puts enemy asleep for 1 turn. 90% chance to wake up when damaged.

Proficient: Charms enemy for 2 turns or puts enemy asleep for 2 turns. 80% chance to wake up when damaged.

Adept: Charms enemy for 2 turns or puts enemy asleep for 2 turns. 70% chance to wake up when damaged.

Master: Charms enemy for 4 turns or puts enemy asleep for 4 turns. 60% chance to wake up when damaged.

Additional Notes:Single target. Charming an enemy makes them only able to attack you for the duration with disadvantage on attacks. Attacking or harming the foe has a chance to wake the enemy up, unless a secondary shadow uses Skill 13: Nightmares on the enemy.

Cost: 3 Arc
Additional Notes:

Using the absence of light and darkness, the caster can make themselves invisible to the naked eye. Different from the primary's shadow-walking in the sense that they aren't merging with anything, but rather are able to turn their coat transparent.

Novice: Caster turns invisible and has a 30% chance to not be targeted.
Proficient: Caster turns invisible and has a 40% chance to not be targeted.
Adept: Caster turns invisible and has a 50% chance to not be targeted.
Master: Caster turns invisible and has a 60% chance to not be targeted.

Additional Notes: Portaling an ally out of harm's way can be used as a reaction. Cats can only create 2 Dimensions (personal + storage space). They are able to enter others if invited/permission to go in. As Mastery Increases so does the number of ‘rooms’ one's dimension can be. At Novice, there can only be 1 den size room, at Master a cat can have 4 den sized rooms in their dimension.

Figuring out someone's true name permits the secondary a slight sense of control over the other. Using one's true name, the secondary can control them to do whatever they desire. This skill only permits for small actions, but one can be forced to tell the truth, be silenced, mimic the user to say whatever they're saying, walk in a direction, etc. Misuse may be punished.

Novice: 40% chance to capture the name of an enemy. Can control 1 creature they have the true name of to perform a minor action.
Proficient: 50% chance to capture the name of an enemy. Can control 1 creature they have the true name of to perform a minor action.
Adept: 60% chance to capture the name of an enemy. Can control 1 creature they have the true name of to perform a minor action.
Master: 70% chance to capture the name of an enemy. Can control 1 creature they have the true name of to perform a minor action.

Additional Notes: If there is more than one enemy on the battlefield, the Secondary can roll for however many enemies they wish to get the true name of on their turn; it is not limited to a single target. Names are extremely powerful over a creature, allowing them to be controlled. You can only control one creature at a time. Specify what you are making the creature do when using this skill to control them. You cannot make an enemy attack with this skill.

A user may focus their attention on their enemy's mind. Prowling along it, they may find an opening to loop through, and can through it cause the enemy to hallucinate, and become very confused. Be warned, though, some enemies react differently to the mind prod and may become more aggressive, randomly lashing out to potentially make for more damage on your allies.

Novice: 40% chance of confusion and deals 14 damage.
Proficient: 50% chance of confusion and deals 16 damage.
Adept: 60% chance of confusion and deals 18 damage.
Master: 70% chance of confusion and deals 20 damage.

Additional Notes: Chance of confusion is rerolled per round held active. Damage is only dealt on casting round.

Infiltrating the sleeping mind isn't unheard of; it definitely isn't for the secondary Shadow Triber. As soon as their target falls asleep, the caster can infiltrate their mind and manipulate their dreams, either in good ways or bad. In later levels of proficiency the user is able to induce sleep paralysis. Misuse may be punished.

Novice: Enemy must be asleep. Deals 18 dmg.
Proficient: Enemy must be asleep. Deals 20 dmg.
Adept: Enemy must be asleep. Deals 22 dmg. 70% chance to stun for a round upon enemy waking up.
Master: Enemy must be asleep. Deals 24 dmg. 80% chance to stun for a round upon enemy waking up.

Additional Notes: This skill does not wake up the enemy, but other attacks will.

You're able to focus on your imagination for the duration, bringing forth a mental projection of your mind. At first, your mental projections will be small things, like a simple shadow moving, or a cartoonish mouse. But with increased proficiency, your imagination will become much more life-like; an entire sea of flying fish, colorful projections of cats playing in the snow, a herd of deer grazing in a blooming meadow. Those who master this skill are able to bring to life a whole new world, changing the space around them to be whatever they wish.

Proficient:
Adept:
Master:

Additional Notes: The mental projection is temporary, and IC only lasts a couple hours at max. Novice - Proficient projections cannot create sound, but Adept - Master projections can. Projections cannot be touched.

You have complete control over a creature's motor functions. You're a master puppeteer, able to bend others to your will with ease. Lower proficiency levels are more simple actions, but with higher proficiency levels you can command the creature to do anything, bending their body to a way that harms them or forcing them to attack their allies.

Note: Using this against a fellow cat in a harmful way may result in exile.

Adept:
Master:

Additional Notes: User must have obtained the true name of the target to use this skill. At higher proficiency levels, if you control a cat, you can force them to use a skill as long as the creature has the arcane level needed. If the target is forced to use a skill, the damage is decided on the skill used. Attacks made by the target are not guaranteed and must still roll to hit, allowing them to crit if they roll a nat 20.

The secondary takes the soul of someone recently fallen and reanimates them for the duration. You imbue the target with temporary power, allowing them to continue fighting for a bit longer. Using this skill takes some of your own life force, however, and many users end up falling once the skill ends. The reanimated target is delirious in this state, though, and risks attacking their own allies until the skill is broken.

Novice: Revives a fallen ally. For 1 round, the target has a 30% chance to attack another ally. The user transfers 100% of their health to the fallen ally after the 1 round is up.
Proficient: Revives a fallen ally. For 1 round, the target has a 20% chance to attack another ally. The user transfers 90% of their health to the fallen ally after the 1 round is up.
Adept: Revives a fallen ally. For 1 round, the target has a 10% chance to attack another ally. The user transfers 80% of their health to the fallen ally after the 1 round is up.
Master: Revives a fallen ally. The user transfers 70% of their health to the fallen ally.

Additional Notes: Only able to be cast on a target that is unconscious. Using this skill to bring someone back from the dead will always result in the death of the user.

You have strict control over your own emotions, including the ability to blend them out at will. With higher proficiency, you can even affect the emotions of other cats and living beings. Caution is advised, as misuse may be punished.

Novice: Can remove fear status from 1 target, or cause it in equally many targets. Targets have a 90% chance to break free from fear in the next round.
Proficient: Can remove fear status from 2 targets, or cause it in equally many targets. Targets have a 80% chance to break free from fear in the next round.
Adept: Can remove fear status from 3 targets, or cause it in equally many targets. Targets have a 70% chance to break free from fear in the next round.
Master: Can remove fear status from 4 targets, or cause it in equally many targets. Targets have a 60% chance to break free from fear in the next round.

Additional Notes: Target must be specified. Fear is induced in casting round.

With the secondaries’ mental power alone, the user can control the recipient’s mind to cause them intense pain, similar to a pounding migraine or a bad headache. This pain causes no physical damage, but could cause mental damage to both the user and recipient if not used responsibly. The pain becomes worse with proficiency.

Novice: Sears the enemy’s mind for 6 dmg.
Proficient: Sears the enemy’s mind for 8 dmg.
Adept: Sears the enemy’s mind for 10 dmg.
Master: Sears the enemy’s mind for 12 dmg.

Additional Notes:

Mimicking any voice or sound they have heard before, the user can alter their voice to match it. Lower tiers can only mimic small animal sounds such as mice and songbirds, but higher tiers can mimic large animal sounds such as a roar from a bear, or even the wailing of a whale. The secondary user can even mimic the voices of other cats and creatures capable of speech.

Novice: 30% chance to confuse an enemy.
Proficient: 40% chance to confuse an enemy.
Adept: 50% chance to confuse an enemy.
Master: 60% chance to confuse an enemy.

Additional Notes: Enemy is confused for one round. 50% chance to hurt itself in confusion on its next attack.

You can communicate with the spirits of the dead. At lower proficiency, you can't control who you summon. With the highest proficiency, one can even select which spirit of the dead they would like to talk to, though there are limits on how often a specific spirit can be summoned.

Novice: Summons a ghostly ancestor that attacks for 10 dmg.
Proficient: Summons a ghostly ancestor that attacks for 12 dmg.
Adept: Summons a ghostly ancestor that attacks for 14 dmg.
Master: Summons a ghostly ancestor that attacks for 16 dmg.

Additional Notes: The ghost vanishes after attacking.

You call upon the souls of the deceased, summoning them to cloak you and your allies from incoming damage and healing your wounds, allowing you to recover. The ghosts circle around the target of the user’s choice, almost like a shield of souls. Ghostly whispers fill the air when this skill is cast, with multiple voices overlapping each other.

Additional Notes:

One has the ability to ease another cat's memories using their true name and implant false memories to alter or erase true memories. Completely new memories may also be added. Chances of success increase with each proficiency level. Misuse may be punished.

The ultimate skill, this skill allows the user to embrace the power and raw element of their spirit at a percentage based on mastery.
