Yo-yo MA style: Inertial Disk
The Eternal Wheel's Flight Style
A rather unusual Martial Arts style practiced by those who enjoy the use of a Yo-yo as a weapon. Surprisingly, those who practice this Style can turn the Yo-yo from a mere toy into a deadly weapon (although many enjoy simply doing tricks with them and develop the lethal techniques by accident due to copious amounts of practice). The Form Weapon of this style is, of course, the Yo-yo, and a practitioner of this Style reduces the speed of any Yo-yo they use by 2 thanks to their incredible amounts of practice with the weapon; They are so familiar with its use that they may move through the various movements with a lightning-fast speed.
Name:Sleeping Dragon/Walk the Dog
Cost: 2m per tick maintained
Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1
Type: Extra Action
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Varies
Prerequisite Charms: None
What it does:
This Charm forms one of the backbones of the Eternal Wheel's Flight Style, representing a mastery of "Sleeping" with a Yo-yo: The act of causing the Yo-yo to continue spinning at the end of the fully extended string (acting like a sort of small chainsaw or repeated bludgeon when used in combat). Functionally, this attack is an unusual form of Extra Action charm, rather than taking place all in one action, it is a sustained attack. The Martial Artist may spend 2 motes per tick (including the tick this charm was activated) for up to (Essence + 2) ticks to make an attack on each of those ticks they pay the mote cost for. This charm ends on the first tick the Martial Artist does not pay the mote cost on.
