Dark Puppet of Secrets Style

This style represents the Sidereal's understanding of secrets and the control gained from them , and how that extends to afterlife. Although it is quite week for Sidereal level , it is cheap and was designed for heavy combo use. It has an early week form and a final strong one.

Comments

This is certainly an interesting style, but it seems a little strait combat oriented. But then again, it is a martial arts style. However, it could use one or two more "light" combat Charms. Things such as forcing hiden truthes with a touch, or mind manipulating abilites. With a few tweaks like that, this good be a exellent style. Keep up the good work. Jamez
