Elemental Arts

(Not intended for use in this game, just a fun thought experiment for me)

The practitioners of this art infuse themselves with the power elements by binding spirits to their body.

Only Spirit Binders can learn this art

Exponent	Form	Fight Actions
2	Bare Fist	Strike, Block
3	Air	Avoid, Disarm
4	Water	Avoid, Feint
5	Earth	Beat, Charge
6	Fire	Great Strike, Counterstrike
7	Lightning	Great Strike, Counterstrike

To learn a Form, you must have a Spirit Mark for the corresponding element.

(Maybe require binding a spirit of the corresponding element (of strength equal to the Form's exponent?) before attempting the challenging practice test to learn the Form)

Once learned, you may freely intermix Forms in your actions at no additional cost.
