Advanced Art of Invisibility: Shadow Copy
By Zach Jackson
One of the uses that the ninja clans that used this art discovered is that the
copies actually damaged Infernal demons in the physical or chi planes. This
damage depends on the chi amount invested in the copy, every point of chi
invested *extra* (not just the minumum to activate the power) does damage to
creatures of negative chi equal to that investment per strike.
Ex: Wang creates three copies with five points of chi invested each. (15 total)
He fights Owai the demon, who has 30 SDC and 30 negative chi points. Wang
strikes with a punch to Owai, as do his copies. His strike does normal damage to
the demons SDC, but his copies do 12 points of damage (15 total- three to keep
power active) to Owai's chi.
If the Ninja's chi is reduced to zero, all copies vanish, even if they were
invested with their own chi. The art then cannot be used again until 1/2 or
more of the ninja's chi returns.
Cost per copy: 1 point of chi per melee per copy. The copies must be charged for
the duration desired, i.e., if you want the art to continue for three melees,
invest three points in the copies, as they lose one chi point per melee. (note
that this is positive chi only, negative chi will not work)
Note 1: The copies are shadow, so they cannot do any damage to anyone who is not
a negative chi creature.
Note 2: This art can be used against negative chi creatures in mind walk mode.
