Energy Techniques

###### Tasted Energy

Most energy users must think to apply or control their energy. However, when someone has a near death or highly emotional experience the body's understanding of energy becomes more natural than breathing. While they are near death their overall energy control is increased. Making the user more skillful, powerful, and knowledgable. Increasing their ability to use, control, feel and shape energy. For that short period of time the user is much stronger than their limit.

Most of the time when a user reaches this level of energy control they parish. Often times hitting that moment too late, or they do not have enough strength to survive the conflict that got them to that moment. However, if a user survives the near-death experience they are granted the overall understanding of energy permanently. Users that reach this state and survive describe the experience as the body "tasting" perfect energy.

## Inherited Technique

Inherited Technique are abilities and skills passed down from one generation to another through bloodlines. They manifest in the form of techniques but are always unique to a person's energy. They are inherited much like genetic code. Meaning some techniques are more dominate than others, making them more common. Common inherited techniques are still reliant on an individual's energy. Recessive inherited traits are still passed down even if the parent did not contain the technique. Making it so bloodlines are important, even if you do not inherit the technique.

Inherited techniques are not always the same as the predecessors. There is a slight variation in all techniques that are inherited due to mixed bloodlines of a second genetic source. Even though the dominate technique of one parent takes hold, the genetic code of another will influence the variation in a technique. You can see this most common with the Mind clan. As they breed their inherited traits together for different variations of the same technique. Another example being a fireball technique being a variation of the fire manipulation technique.

Pure inherited techniques, like fire manipulation can still appear.

Most energy users only inherit one technique, which is usually the dominate technique. However, there is a chance that an individual can inherit both techniques of their parents.

## Barrier Technique

Barrier's is the name for applied energy techniques that do not require an inherited technique. Barrier's use energy to occupy space, allowing for a variety of

An inherited technique can be applied to a barrier technique. Creating a new form of barriers that are unique to inherited techniques energy.

## Presence

A Presence is considered the outward expression of a users energy. In other words if energy is stored on the inside, performing a presence will allow that energy to be stored on the outside. This can only be preformed by an energy user with a great overall skill level.

The energy performed in a Presence is not a physical weight, so allowing energy to be held outside of the users body does not affect a physical object. It is used much like a barrier technique would be. Meaning that the outward expression of energy will only maintain a certain amount of space around the user. Once you enter that space you will feel the users amount of energy.

For the user a presence grants benefits. One being that the outward expression of energy grants you a better feel for others energy. In other words when a presence is activated the user can sense other energy sources around it. However, there is one condition. The user is given the ability to sense other energy sources at the risk of revealing his own energy source to others. When their energy source is revealed by a presence, anyone (presence or not) will be able to sense them.

Another benefit being that the outward expression of energy allows others to feel the weight of your energy. If a user enters the barrier of a presence they will feel the extra force of that users energy. This can mostly be used for intimidation on your opponent, as it grants not physical damage. Working well against Monster's or those who are scared of energy amounts. Depending on a person's unique energy a presence may feel differently to those who come in contact with it.

## Pact

Pact's are the ultimate sacrifice of energy. In simple terms a pact is the act of giving up a physical, mental, or energy ability in return for a boost or stronger ability somewhere else. This could mean in incre
