Background
The Dragon's Garden Style is one of the least practiced Martial Arts in Creation. Only a handful of Terrestrials have ever learned it and few others have the interest. The Style is broken into three segments, each building upon the other to create the whole of the Style. The segments follow the path of growing seeds, from Spring when the seeds are placed in the ground, to Summer when they are in full bloom, and then to Fall when the plants die. The Spring Charms form a Terrestrial Martial Art which, when mastered, moves into an Initation Cascade that represents the transitional stage of Summer. The final mastery of the Style encompasses a Celestial Martial Art which embodies the dying glory of Fall. Rumors persist that a fourth segment of the Style exists, devoted to the hibernation and rebirth of Winter, but such rumors are unsubstantiated.

Falling Towards Birth</b>
<b>Cost: 2 motes Duration: Instant Type: Supplemental Min MA: 2 Min Essence: 2 Prereqs: None
As seeds fall to the ground and becomes bound in its new home, so do the enemies of the Gardener. Lashing out at his opponent with a vicious kick directed at the legs the Gardener knocks his opponent to the ground and keeps him there. The blow is so powerful that not only is the target of a successful use automatically knocked prone but they are off balance and must make a roll to resist knockdown at the beginning of each of their next 5 turns. Targets already prone need not make this check.

The rich laom in which seeds are planted is reluctant to give up its charges for any reason. Attacks enhanced by this Charm drive their target so deep into the ground that it is almost impossible to free them until the magic dispurses. For each health level inflicted by this attack, the target remains prone for 1 turn. No mundane means can right the target until this time has passed.
