Vajra Arts

The Vajra Arts is a body refinement art of Buddhist origins created in the Spirit Realm. The art is used among mortal humans and Demon Beasts residing within the realm. The art allows mortals to refine their bodies using Spiritual Energy in the environment. The Vajra Arts are unique in that no Spiritual Roots are required to cultivate the art. The arts allow mortal humans and beasts to rival cultivators in strength and abilities. Unfortunately, the arts do not extend their lifespans.

== Variants ==
=== Brightjade Arts ===
The Brightjade Arts is a variant of the Vajra Arts created by Buddhist cultivators in the Mortal World. The Brightjade Arts was designed for cultivators. The arts uses Energy / Qi from within the practitioners own body instead of drawing the energy from the environment. A practitioner drawing upon their own purified energy will have a smoother time refining their body using the Brightjade Arts. Unlike the Vajra Arts, the Brightjade Arts cannot be used by mortals because it relies on the practitioner to gather Energy / Qi prior to practicing the arts.
As a side effect, the Brightjade arts could be used to resolve cultivator backlash from possessing Baleful Qi by using it as a source of Energy / Qi to refine their bodies.
