| Feng Shui -- also known as Tso Tao, the 'Black Way' -- means not only the power to detect dragon lines and arrange areas to be in harmony with them, but the ability to cleanse areas of evil influences, disguise or alter abmient Chi, and even to interfere with a Kuei-jin's ability to draw ambient Chi from an area. * Wind-Water Eye With this most basic of Feng Shui arts, the Kuei-jin can evaluate an area's dragon lines. He knows exactly what typeof Chi is in the area, and how best to arrange the buildings and offices in the area to take advantage of it. With this skill, the Kuei-jin tombs and lairs can be properly constructed and aligned, and sacred sites can be located- or a site can be misarranged to bring unluck to those who dwell there. ** Broom of Heaven A skilled Kuei-jin fang shih uses this power to cleanse an area of evil influences or defilement. Many mortals pay top doallar (so to speak) to have this power used on their homes or buildings. *** Hand of Darkness Hand of Darkness is a potent form of curse whereby the Kuei-jin deliberately interferes with or attacks an area's feng shui. By directing harmful influences toward an area or interfering with good feng shui, the Kuei-jin makes life difficult indeed for that area's residents. **** Inharmonious Alignment The bane of Mandarins and Ancestors everywhre, this power allows the Kuei-jin to interfere with an area's ambient Chi to such an extent that others cannot draw ambient Chi from that location. ***** Chi Ward Feng Shui can be arranged to offer protection, rather then simple good luck, to the inhabitants of an area. With this power, a Kuei-jin establishes a ward that prevents spirits (good or bad) and other shen from entering an area (or leaving it). ***** * Beneficient Celestial Mirror Once invoked, the Kuei-jin can create changes in the spirit worlds by altering the flow of Chi in this world. By precisely aligning an area's Chi, the user creates a 'reflection' of that area in the Yin or Yang Worlds, and opens a door that he, and others of his choice, can use to enter that reflection. ***** ** Dancing Spirits Control over Chi lines allows a Kuei-jin to bend spirits to his will. Similarily, by altering the flows of Chi wrapping a person's body, the user may manipulate the individual.. ***** *** Veil of Defilement When a Kuei-jin locates an area with good feng shui, it is important for him to do everything he can to hold onto it, lest others take it (and its power) away from him. Veil of Defilement helps him do that by disguising such areas to make them look barren and defiled. ***** **** Transcendent Portal This ability allows an area's feng shui to be menipulated to open a gateway to, or from, the Yang or Yin Worlds. |
