| Smoke Shintai |
| The Kuei-jin use this discipline to misdirect, conceal and obfuscate. A skilled practitioner of Smoke Shintai can even use the tiniest amount of smoke to conceal herself, and can tall lies so convincing that even the most jaded cynic believes him. * Smoke Without Fire The name of this power is misleading, since it does not literally create smoke without the presence of fire. What it does provide is the power to enhance the volume and thickness of the smoke created by a fire. With enough control, the smoke from a single cigarette becomes enough to conceal many men. ** Words of Smoke A Kuei-jin employing this power becomes one of the world's most consummate liars. Anythng he says, no matter how outlandish, tends to seem believable and sincere. *** The Hampering Smoke of Chou Zheng This power gives a Kuei-jin the ability to 'cast smoke' into the eyes of another, temporarily blinding him. **** Wisp Maya This power allows the Kuei-jin to weave subtle panoramas and images out of simple smoke. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, the shape of men, animals, and other objects are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing -- at least to the naked eye. ***** Volcano's Fist This power allows the Kuei-jin to concentrate the fires of the Pacific volcanoes into one of his hands. The hand becomes so hot that his merest touch can set flammable objects on fire, and his punches and strikes cause grievous damage. |
