Ki Poisoning (Love Note)

Ki Poisoning is an ancient technique long thought to be dead that allows its users to immobilize any ki user with the merest contact, the effect of which last for days.
==Overview==
Killing Intent (煞气 shàqì) as its name implies is more than an energy, it is a feeling that goes with the intent of killing and almost anybody can generate that kind of power, yet it's also a weapon in some cases. People who have experienced bloody battles and/or have already killed others tend to have much stronger Killing Intent than an ordinary person. Experts may intentionally release it as a form of mental attack that breaks their foes aura freezing them in their tracks.
Ki Poisoning does this differently. User paralyzes an opponent on contact, like a poison. The swifter and more charged the attack, the more easily the 'poison ki' spreads, and the more devastating the effect upon the attacker's ki. At its lowest effect the 'poison ki not only paralyzes but also leaves the victim in an ugly sensory effect as well, that basically is nausea. At bigger doses though you can REALLY mess up ki users, potentially completely destroying their ability to use ki, maybe even kill them directly. The technique can be used offensively if an attacker is passive, then user has to force it into the body using their own strength.
It is because of this very technique that ki users are not a greater fixture in the battlefields of history. Chi techniques are still part of the aura, so while they would connect, the chi poison would contaminate the user as well. Covering the hands is equally as ineffective as the aura extends beyond the skin, far beyond. Since their training caused them to instinctively charge them with their aura, hand held weapons are out too. The only effective defense against ki poisoning is ranged attacks without the use of chi.
Despite its potency ki poisoning fell out of use do to the advent of the modern battlefield where melee combat is minimized, causing chances for physical contact to become greatly reduced. In addition the technique is notoriously hard to master. Killing ki must be a part of the person, not something that they wish to expel. Think something like the natural aura that some things have. To that end to poison ki, one must completely suppress their aura sacrificing their use of ki for anything but this technique. Once this technique is learned you can't use any ki related technique (including speed enhancement, physical armor, etc). So effectively, a ki poison user is just another soldier on the battlefield most the time, save when they fight someone with ki enhancement. Under these conditions it was just deemed too big a sacrifice for too narrow a use.
==Trivia==
Elements of Ryuji Yamazaki from The King of Fighters series were added to the original description. Some elements from Fist of the North Star were added as well.
