⇨☾⇨ Soul Tuning Skill Tree⇦☽⇦
Soul Tuning is a Meister's way of supporting their weapon through various buffs. If one were to compare this ability to Clerics one would find that their way of supporting is much different and is almost more akin to the act of Soul Resonance than it is Clerical Healings. However even the similarities to Soul Resonance are only surface level as, unlike Soul Resonance, Soul Tuning is much more about the Meister using their soul to enhance and 'fine-tune' their weapon partner(s) instead of the enhancement of both Meister and Weapon. This is a Strength skill.

⇨ Sharpening | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The meister will enhance their weapon's attacking power. The weapon's next offensive action is considered to be a collaborative action alongside this technique. Weapons can not benefit from Sharpening and Hardening in the same post.
⇨ Hardening | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The meister will enhance their weapon's defensive power. The weapon's next defensive action, used to block an incoming technique, is considered to be a collaborative action alongside this technique. Weapons can not benefit from Sharpening and Hardening in the same post.
⇨ Enhancing | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The meister will enhance their weapon's general power. During the weapon's next post their actions defeat techniques up to the level this technique was used at.
The power of the soul is strong indeed, and the ability to manipulate the soul directly belongs to that of the Meister. At least that is what many Meisters, especially those who learn of the secret techniques of the Soul Leech Skill Tree. These Meisters take manipulation of the soul in a different way than many others. As opposed to projecting their soul, outwards they use their own soul to draw on the soul of others through physical contact typically utilizing the hands and thus mess with it in many different ways. This is a Dexterity skill.

⇨ [ Name ] | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit
⇨ Soul Drain | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The user of this technique aims to make physical contact with an opponent. When successful, unimpeded, contact has been made the user's wavelength pulls on the soul of target and drains them of resource equal to the level of this technique.
⇨ Soul Strike | Level 2 | Tier 1 | Spirit The user will aim to make physical contact with an opponent. When successful, unimpeded, contact has been made the user's wavelength seems to strike directly at the soul of the target causing a sharp stabbing pain within the body of the affected person.
⇨ Soul Rip | Level 3 | Tier 2 | Spirit The user of this technique aims to make physical contact with an opponent with both of their hands. When successful, unimpeded, contact has been made the user's wavelength pulls at the soul of the target. The pulling of the soul from two points causes a painful ripping sensation to course through the body of affected person.
⇨ Soul Tether | Level 4 | Tier 2 | Spirit The user of this technique aims to make physical contact with an opponent. When successful, unimpeded, contact has been made the user attaches what is essentially a tether of soul energy from their own soul to the target's soul. The tether lasts 3 post, during which time any effects that either side of the tether come under the effects of are applied to both. This includes, healing, buffs, de-buffs, and even damage inflicted. Example of damage being applied to both being if one side receives a cut a cut will appear in the exact same spot but on the other side of the tether and they would feel the pain of the cut as well. Unless otherwise specified the user may only be tethered to a single target at a time.
⇨ Soul Separation | Level 5 | Tier 3 | Spirit The user of this technique will aim to make physical contact with an opponent. This technique can not be blocked and as such it must be dodged. The user's hand will seem to phase into their target as physical contact has been made and they will pull from the target's body their own soul, which then begins to float around the affect person's body for the rest of combat. This doesn't hinder the affected person. However the person must now defend themselves and their exposed soul floating around them as it can be the target of an opponent's techniques or spells. When the soul itself is targeted and hit successfully, affects such as buffs and debuffs last an additional 2 posts and when damage is dealt to the soul directly it is considered 1 level higher than normal up to a maximum of 5. Resource based effects drain or give an additional 20 resource than normal. This technique can only affect one target at a time, if used on another target the previous target's soul returns to normal.
Martial Artists train and discipline their bodies, however the opposite of them are the Street Fighters. Bent on chaos, disorder, and unpredictability during combat Street Fighters don't believe in rules or honor. Whatever will get them the win is fair game. This is a Dexterity skill. Can be Meister, Weapon, or Witch class.

↯ Gonna Get Rowdy ↯ Pocket Sand's debuff lasts an additional 1 post once every 5 posts. ⇩ ↯ Shove'em in the Locker ↯ The user's Cheap Shot technique may be used at 1 level higher without costing additional resources once per 5 posts. ⇩ ↯ Hold My Earrings ↯ The street fighter gains a custom technique based on this skill tree. ⇩ ↯ Did You Look at Me? ↯ Street Fighters do well at predicting attacks, even the unpredictable. Once every 5 posts the it's easier to dodge a technique by 1 level. ⇩ ↯ Feint Attack ↯ Once every 5 posts, when the user uses Cheap Shot, they may immediately follow it up with a second Cheap Shot at 1 level lower than the original use to a minimum of level one for no additional action or resource cost. ⇩ ↯ More Sand! ↯ Pocket Sand's range is doubled
⇨☾⇨ Tier Two Perks⇦☽⇦

Requires Gonna Get Rowdy ⇩ ↯ Trust Me, I Can Fight ↯ Street Fighting techniques refund 1/2 the resource once every 5 posts. ⇩ ↯ Sucker Punch ↯ Once every 5 posts, when the user uses Cheap Shot, they may immediately follow it up with a second Cheap Shot at the same level as the original use for no additional action or resource cost. Requires Feint Attack ⇩ ↯ Never Back Down 2 ↯ Once every 5 posts, while in Street Stance, if the user has the Martial Artist skill tree their Punch or Kick technique may be augmented by Street Stance.
⇨☾⇨ Tier Three Perks⇦☽⇦
↯ Through the Table! ↯ Once every 5 posts Improvised Attack may cause the enemy to lose one action for 2 posts instead of just in their next post. ⇩ ↯ Wanna Get Dirty ↯ After the first use of Get Jumped, the user may use it again after 5 posts have passed.
⇨☾⇨ Techniques⇦☽⇦
⇨ [ Name ] | Level | Tier | Resource
⇨ Pocket Sand | Level 1 | Tier 1 | Spirit, Stamina, or Mana The user will throw sand, dust, or some kind of similar substance in the eyes of their opponent. If successful it becomes 1 level easier for anyone to block or dodge the affected individual's attacks for 2 posts. Substance may be thrown up to 10 feet away.
⇨ Cheap Shot | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit, Stamina, or Mana The user will target a particularly vulnerable part of their opponent's body, and kick, punch, or do just about anything to it within melee distance. This can vary from person to person of course. Due to the sneaky nature of this attack, it can not be blocked however it can be dodged. To properly dodge this the person in question must leave melee range during their dodge.
⇨ Improvised Attack | Level 3 | Tier 2 | Spirit, Stamina, or Mana The user of this technique will use an unconventional weapon that could be just about anything laying around. This includes but it not limited to chairs, tables, umbrellas, rocks, cans, and computers. They will then strike their opponent with it as hard as they can. The opponent is caught off guard if they are hit by it, losing one action in their next post.
⇨ Street Stance | Scaled Level | Tier 2 | Spirit, Stamina, or Mana The user of this technique will take an unorthodox fighting stance. Some would say that the stance is filled with openings. However such a stance leaves much room for personal movement and style as well. While in this stance basic combat executed by the user is 1 level harder to dodge.
⇨ Get Jumped | Level 5 | Tier 3 | Spirit, Stamina, or Mana The user of this technique employs the best possible tactic in a street fighter's arsenal...having other people jump their target(s). The user of this technique will whistle, and seemingly out of nowhere a horde of thugs, gangsters, general criminals, or just about whatever groups of people one might find out on the street appear. This attack is effectively an AOE Attack, in which the thugs that seem to come from nowhere batter any enemies within the topic, and even vandalize the topic itself within reasonable capabilities of mostly normal people. After the attack, the horde of people once more disappear into the shadows. Usable once per battle. Can not be affected by perks or other effects unless the perk specifically mentions this technique.
Some Meisters have found a way to emulate effects that many believe only witches could accomplish through the use of their elemental magics. The Soul Elementalists utilize their manipulation of the soul to alter the world around them and create a variety of elemental effects. While this skill tree encompasses all elements, they do not have the mass manipulation or raw power of elemental magics. Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Wind and Surprise are the elements that Soul Elementalist encompasses. In order to make a custom based on a certain element the meister must have access to the technique associated with that element from this tree first. (Ex. If you don't have the Ice Spear technique you can't make Ice Customs.) There is a semi-scientific aspect to this skill tree and as such this is a Wisdom skill.
⇨☾⇨ Tier One Perks⇦☽⇦
↯ You Smell Like Burning ↯ Once every 5 posts, the Meister may make the fireball erupt into flames that spread up to 10 feet per level after it makes contact with anything. This includes on collision with another technique. This doesn't alter the collision of the fireball technique, however the flames spreading can cause damage to anyone including the meister who used the technique. ⇩ ↯ I Decide What the Tide Will Bring ↯ Once every 5 posts, the Meister may make Water Gun unblockable, in which case the opponent must dodge the technique if they do not wish to get hit. This can not be applied if Water Gun has multiple targets. ⇩ ↯ Upon the Wind ↯ The Meister may fly through the air up to 5 feet above the ground per level of the meister. ⇩ ↯ Give Me, Give Me, MORE ↯ The projectile range of techniques from this tree is doubled. Sizes of Techniques and any AOE based effects are not affected. ⇩ ↯ Convergence ↯ The Meister is capable of using two different element techniques at the same level for one action once every five posts. Cost must still be paid for both. ⇩ ↯ Wannabe ↯ The Meister gains 1 additional custom for this skill tree.
⇨☾⇨ Tier Two Perks⇦☽⇦
↯ Fullbuster ↯ Once every 5 posts the user may control and already present Ice Spear for a second attack with no additional resource cost. ⇩ ↯ Element of Surprise ↯ While underground the Meister is able to feel movement in and above the ground for up to 10 feet. If the meister has the Soul Perception tree it becomes 15 feet per level of the meister. ⇩ ↯ Tri-Attack ↯ The Meister is capable of using three different element techniques at the same level for one action once every five posts. Cost must still be paid for all. Requires Convergence. Renders Convergence only usable once per battle, and never in the same post as Tri-Attack ⇩ ↯ Chuunibyou ↯ The meister gains 2 additional customs for this skill tree. Requires Wannabe
⇨☾⇨ Tier Three Perks⇦☽⇦
↯ Witch Bolt ↯ Once every 5 posts, when the Meister uses Shock Bolt they create two bolts of lightning instead of one for no additional action or resource cost. ⇩ ↯ Fake a** WITCH ↯ The meister gains 1 additional custom for each element associated with this skill tree. 1 for each Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, and Lightning for a total of 6. Alternatively, the meister may choose to use these customs to combine elements and create a new element. Ex. Fire and Water making Steam. When this is done the two elements used no longer have slots associated with them from this perk. Ex. Making Steam from Fire and Water uses both the Fire and Water Slot, leaving only the Wind, Earth, Ice, and Lightning Slots. However after a first technique has been made for a combination element the user may create more techniques using that element. Requires Chuunibyou
⇨☾⇨ Techniques⇦☽⇦
⇨ Fireball | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The meister channels their soul wavelength into the air around them, causing a chemical reaction in the air and creates a ball of fire that has a 5 foot radius per level the technique is used at. The ball of fire can be thrown up to 10 feet per level.
⇨ SPIRIT Water Gun | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The meister forms a gun shape with their fingers, channeling soul wavelength through the air and pulling moister out of the air into a small pellet like shape. They then fire the water pellet in a jet stream like fashion. The pellet, if unimpeded by another technique, will travel 15 feet forwards per level used. This includes through flesh, bone, brick, steel, and just about anything that is not a defensive technique capable of impeding the technique.
⇨ Current Shift | Scaled Level | Tier 1 | Spirit The Meister will use their soul wavelength, sending it into the air and forcing the currents in the air to bend to their whim. They can use this to create a pushing upon a target to send them backwards 10 feet per level of the technique used.
⇨ Ice Spear | Scaled Level | Tier 2 | Spirit The meister will send their soul energy through the air pulling the moisture into a concentrated point and then freezing it by dropping the temperature using their soul energy of the moisture quickly. This creates a 2 Foot per level spear made of ice in the air which can be launched at an opponent up to 10 feet per level. Due to the physical nature of this technique it is not considered a soul technique, and the ice spear will remain often times until the battle is over or it has been melted or broken. After the initial attack the ice spear is no longer under control of the meister.
⇨ Ground Swimming | Scaled Level | Tier 2 | Spiirt The Meister will send their soul energy through the ground in order to be able to move it around to an extent at their leisure. They utilize this bit of movement to allow themselves to swim through the earth. This technique can be maintained for 2 posts per level used, allowing Meisters to return to the earth so long as their duration is not up. However in most cases a Meister must exit the earth in order to attack an enemy.
⇨ Shock Bolt | Scaled Level | Tier 3 | Spirit The Meister will use their soul energy to create a chemical create in the air and create electrical energy. They fire this electrical energy towards their opponent for up to 10 feet per rank 2 feet wide. This energy is unlike the electric-like energy represented within Soul Wavelength's Tree, it is literal electricity being fired at someone. This technique will hit everyone within it's range.
