Normal:
Arc Missile:
Fat's Flame:Similar to Shishio Makoto's technique, an Irfry Ahmoqa specialist can use Technique and Ki to make the fat from his foes ignite.
Falling Flame:
Ignition Blade:
Piercing Flame:
Rising Flame:
Scald Sword: The Scald Sword technique is a deadly and multi-faceted ability. One important facet is leaving “scalds”, or last-minute deviations of the blade to score the body and aggravate wounds. Every strike that hits home counts with an Irfry Ahmoqa Randce, and in prolonged combat, opponents will often fall from wounds. (The feeling is like a general warmth or scalding). Another facet is cultivating friction. By taking advantage of the friction engendered by prolonged combat, Thrash can not only use his Humming/Ringing/Trembling Blades to use air and sound, he can also build heat inside his own blade and cause his opponent's armor and weaponry to rapidly become scalding to the touch.
Legendary:
Friction Shield: By generating a constant amount of friction, the Irfry Ahmoqace can create a level of heat and shockwave that protects against incoming assaults.
Reverse Cauterize: The only problem of a sword style premised on fire is that, despite the horrible internal bleeding and pain caused by the Scald Sword, flame cauterizes wounds.
Ubiquitous Flame:
Welding Flame: This stance uses tight, circular motions, powerful legs and arms working in conjunction, combined with the friction of opposing armor to open holes in a foes' defense. The blade is turned into a veritable arc welder.
Forbidden:
Cyclical Friction (passive):
Infinite Friction (passive): This ability allows the Ahmoqace to generate literally infinite degrees of friction and heat.
Growing Friction (passive):
Friction Bubble: The sheer friction the character creates and controls allows them to make a self-propelling bubble of friction that forces them through the air!
Hateful Sun's Finger: This stance has the Ahmoqace stand still with his sword pointed straight, the other arm either cultivating friction, being held straight up, stabilizing, defending or performing skills from other Ahmoqa. In this stance the character is a living energy weapon, discharging friction in powerful hateful beams from her sword.
Killing Sheets of Fire: This ability uses the amassed friction techniques to ignite the totality of the air and throw a distributed wave of heat that falls down and kills weak enemies instantaneously.
Sphere of the Flames of War: This is an apocalyptic ability that allows one to literally ignite all the oxygen and atmosphere on a planet, turning it into a ball of flame!
Supernova Stance: A feared stance of the Irfry, the character actually becomes a living blade of heat, vibrating outwards constantly to slash open her foes!
Warming Hate (passive) This is the Tier 3 level of the Scald Sword internal wound effect. Targets feel a burning sensation of pain that also has a delirium effect. The burning slowly forces wounds to become worse, not better, and cellular or molecular damage is wreaked. Machines are no longer spared.
Merits:
Mind of Flame (certification): Before an Irfry Ahmoqa initiate reaches this point, their style is rather meager. Like in most fights, victory for this swordsman depends on no small measure of luck and raw speed as well as technique. They will follow the techniques taught to them fairly blindly and use their stances as discrete positions to try. Because of the Irfry Ahmoqa's offensive focus, many Irfry Ahmoqa initiates die quickly, and combined with relative unpopularity (due to their unpalatable members), the Irfry Ahmoqa has seen a drop in enrollment. Thrash's enrollment, however, has changed that, particularly since combining Scald Sword with Ayrt school techniques makes a warrior almost unstoppable in prolonged combat, and Thrash's Ignition Blade is only possible with Irfry Ahmoqa power. Mind of Fire allows the warrior to continually shift in and out of stances, making a constant trampling force of a near-infinite variety of blows. Stances can be modified and combined as necessary, and the fighter is imbued with something akin to a Vulnerability Sense that lets them detect their opponent's weakness. “Flame is a tempestuous mistress with a deadly dual nature. Be warm to those who you protect, yet burn those who scorn you – they are always surprised that the tamed flame can still burn. Fire comes from every direction, devouring all in its path that it can consume, at once predictable and unpredictable, ubiquitous and focused, directionless and channeled.” Mind of Flame is basically a Mushin (“no-mind”) ability, where the character lets their conscious mind disappear and their training manifest holistically nad naturally. Mind of Fire combines this with a deadly notion of flame as indestructible elemental force.
