Style Notes

This is a Sidereal Martial Art.
This style is not compatible with armor.
Form Weapons? I sure can't think of any.
To use the style, you must be able to create music, and therefore you must have an instrument of some sort. This is less restrictive than it sounds, because one's voice counts as an instrument.

The student charms are divided into four trees of five charms each. Each of the first four charms feeds directly into the fifth, and the fifth charms of each tree feed directly into the form. The form then leads on to the advanced techniques. I'm still fuzzy on exactly how that tree will be constructed.

What I have here is the sutra, with charm ideas matched up to the lines of the sutra I plan to link them to.

Comments and suggestions welcome!

The Student's Sutra of Minds

Once, there were two maidens...

...who always walked together...
...though the road was lonely and winding.
They were accosted by a man...
...who demanded of them a song...
...or he would devour their hearts.

The two maidens assented... <--- (Note Perserverance) Soak-adder?
...and began to play. <--- (Lyric Strike) Attack at sound range? Undodgable except with charms?
And though they knew not what song to play...
...they wove a song of themselves...
...and the song they played was finer than any other. <--- () Roll Cha + Perf. Add sux to phys atts (incl. App). Scenelong.

Both the man and the maidens could see that this song had been destined. <--- (Directing Verse) Leads people to a conclusion
When the stars are aligned... <--- (Bewildering Refrain) Confuses and stuns people
...and the Unconquered Sun casts forth his light... <--- (Passionate Melody) Excites people, only works during day
...and Luna gives her gentle glow... <--- (Laconic Ballad) Calms people, only works at night
...even the grass may dance. <--- (Concert of Universal Acclaim) Brings environment to life

The man, though he had begun to dance, was stunned. <--- (Silent Aria) Akin to Soul-Flaying Gaze?
He shivered... <--- (Inconsistant Tone) Hopping or Perfect Defense?
...and asked the maidens if they were gods. <--- (Beauteous Rapture) Enraptures the target
And they replied, in unison... <--- (Spectral Accompanist) IA Charm. Creates a duplicate from sound.
..."No, maidens are we." <--- (Duet of the Heart) Scenelong Spectral Accompanist

And they continued to play. <--- (Azure Dance of Minds Form)

The Elder's Sutra of Minds

The song the maidens played...
...beautiful though it was, was forgotten...
...because no other song could ever equal its beauty.
The songs sung of the maidens' song...
...are but a pale shadow of rememberance.
For the two maidens rose into the sky...
...and their song became the Song of the World.
