Law

A Law is a unique Cultivation path that your characters can take. An Outer Disciple can be Promoted to Inner Disciple by choosing one after completing Foundation training.
== Summary ==
Cultivation laws are different paths to achieve immortality through martial and mystical arts.
* Differences
** Laws are set apart by their Manuals (similar to a set of active and passive skills), Cultivation Methods and Breakthrough methods, Supreme Knowledge and ability to advance to a higher level (Ascension).
* A chosen Law is permanent and cannot be changed, with the exception of the Rebirth mechanic.
* At the start of a new game, the player has the option to pick a specific Law to start with. Without doing so, one of the five Taiyi Laws is given at random.
== Supreme Laws ==
Supreme Laws are the only recommended ones for a player Cultivator due to their effectiveness and unique benefits. Xiandao Supreme Laws are also sometimes referred to as Orthodox Laws, in contrast to Unorthodox Laws.
=== Taiyi Laws ===
Taiyi Laws are the Five Supreme Xiandao laws of the once great Taiyi Sect, of which you are but a remnant. They include:
* Grand Chariot Wisdom Law (Metal, Gong_8_Jin)
*Six Paths Reincarnation Law (Wood, Gong_9_Mu)
*Sixteen Supreme Steps Law (Water, Gong_1_Shui)
*True Sun Refining Law (Fire, Gong_10_Huo)
*Sunflower Refining Law (Earth, Gong_11_Tu)
=== Non-Taiyi Laws ===
These are Xiandao Laws from other Sects and Domains, that exhibit the true essence of nature.
*Primordial Symbols Law (None, Gong_12_None)
* Jade Purity Immortal Law (None, Gong_4_None)
*Seven-Slaughtering Sword (Metal, Gong_3_Jin)
*Myriad Artifact Law (Wood, Gong_2_Mu)
*Emotion Severing Law (Fire, Gong_7_Huo)
*Primordial Alchemy Law (Fire, Gong_6_Huo)
*Heaven Stealing Law (Earth, Gong_5_Tu)
*Law of Nimbus Conquest (None, Gong_13_None): DLC exclusive from Immortal Tales of WuDangDLC
===Shendao Laws===
Shendao Laws utilize Divinity and Faith to turn its practitioners into Deities. All Shendao laws are of the None Element.
* Celestial Thunder Salvation Sutra (God_Gong_1)
*Eight Heavens Sadhana (God_Gong_2)
*Nether Salvation Sutra (God_Gong_3)
===Physical Laws===
Physical Laws utilize Remolding of Body Parts to strengthen its practitioners. All Physical Laws are of the None Element.
*Primordial Unity Body (Body_Gong_1)
*Barbarous Forging Body (Body_Gong_2)
*Ancestral Yaoguai Body (Body_Gong_3)
*Fallen Obliteration Body (Body_Gong_4)
==Unorthodox Laws ==
Unorthodox Laws are Xiandao Laws randomly generated by the game. There are no Shendao or Physical Unorthodox Laws. Unorthodox Laws provide mostly Unorthodox Manuals.
*The total Attainment of Unorthodox Manuals can reach a maximum of 1/4 of total Orthodox Attainment.
*Unorthodox Laws occasionally contain a random Orthodox Manual from the Supreme Laws.
*There is no good reason to Cultivate one of these on purpose, but they should be transcribed into the Manual Pavilion for their Manuals.
They can be broken down to:
* Ascension
*Primordial Spirit
*Golden Core
*Worldly (Core shaping, and Qi Shaping)
where the names indicating the furthest State that can be achieved by practicing them.
==Other Laws==
Special quirks mean that these need to have their own Laws. These Laws cannot be learned by playable Characters.
*Law of Instinct (gong_yaoshou), practiced by Monsters
*Spirit Pet Practice (gong_lingshou), practiced by your Pets
*Unknown Law (gong_daneng), practiced by Ancient Cultivators
*Lost (gong_lost). Law file deleted, or Mod removed.
==Choosing a Law==
Anyone can become anything in this game, but it is beneficial to recruit people with high Attributes and then give them Laws that match.
===Body Laws===
Body Cultivators don't require anything Attribute wise, but benefit from high Ability Ratings in Battle, Qi Sense, and Artisanry, and to some degree, Crafting and Medicine.
It is highly recommended to avoid choosing body cultivation if the cultivator has the "Clumsy" trait, as this will permanently lock them out of Comprehension, and Inner Sight.
===Shendao Laws ===
Shendao is something that anyone can aspire to. The one big requirement to progress past a certain Mental State Breakthrough is to be able to achieve 8 Intelligence for it. However Intelligence also prolongs some Breakthroughs, so it takes balance.
Since Shendao is focused on garnering Followers, high Charisma and Social (Skill) are beneficial, as well as high Luck to find Guards.
=== Xiandao Law Matching ===
Xiandao Laws are ideally practiced by Characters with good Five Attributes "Law Match" with their Law, as well as having a high Qi Sense Level, and CON/INT/PER for increased Max Qi. Luck is useful for forming a Golden Core of higher quality. If not required by the Law, Charisma is only useful for maxing out Potential. Not having sufficiently of any Attribute is much more damaging to the Law Match Percentage than having additional Attribute points beyond the necessary is beneficial, but being overqualified for a Law gives great benefits during the formation of the Golden Core.
