Ninjakari (skill)
| The Ninjakari skill is learned by the monk class of the same name in the City of Magnagora. They specialize in the jakari, a chain weapon that is swung to devastating effect, which is sometimes barbed or affixed with a scythe end, though the latter is rarely seen. |

Jakari
| Syntax |
| KA JAKARI <target> <bodypart> RIGHT |
| Kata: Arm Action Bodypart: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg |
The basic attack with a jakari weapon will do blunt damage. Note that while a jakari is wielded, the trained monk can still perform punches and other moves.
Jakati
| Syntax |
| KATA PERFORM <target> <form> JAKATI KATA PERFORM <target> =<form> |
| Kata: Raze Power: 3 (Megalith of Doom) |
When using your jakari to attack opponents, your weapon will shear away the defences of your enemies that serve to keep your weapons out. It will also boost your damage.
As an alternative, you can also add this to any form by prepending "=" to the name of the form. For example, if you have a form SMITE that you wish to use againt Roark then you would do KATA PERFORM ROARK SMITE. If you do KATA PERFORM ROARK =SMITE then it will automatically use this modifier with the SMITE form.
Boost
| Syntax |
| KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BOOST KATA PERFORM <target> <form>+ |
| Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom) |
Boosting a form will give you a temporary 13/13 balance buff for that form only. You can add boost either by using the BOOST argument at the end of the form or appending '+' to the end for the form name.
Ochai
| Syntax |
| KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST |
| Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom) |
Base Stance
The brutal impact of a chain can break the flesh, causing a good amount of bleeding.
Bonus Effect: Adds extra 10% of damage as bruising.
Changing stances now deals hemorrhaging. Hemorrhaging is an affliction that prevents you from clotting bleed below that level, or bruising below half that level. It cures over time.
Certain afflictions will give you bonus hemorrhaging if your target has them when you start your form. Boosting will also double your hemorrhaging.
You can now use the BURST word to convert all your targets hemorrhaging to bleeding and bruising. This cannot be done on full actions.
Afflictions: InternalBleeding, Disloyalty, Pox, Confusion
You can build up to 850 hemorrhaging on a target
If you burst a target with greater than 750 hemorrhaging, it will put them into a weakened state temporarily. During that time, using Ughathalogg will instantly kill them.
Ninchu
| Syntax |
| KA PERFORM <target> <bodypart> NINCHU |
| Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom) |
This stance is the advanced version of the urchin stance which allows you to move backwards through your stance at the expense of power instead of balance.
Gripping
| Syntax |
| GRIP RELAX GRIP |
While using this ability, you will prevent wielded items from being knocked out of your grip. Relax when you want to unwield.
Ninshi
| Syntax |
| KA NINSHI <target> <bodypart> KA YANK <target> |
| Kata (Ninshi): Grapple Kata (Yank): Grapple Ender |
Ninshi:
This is a two handed attack using your chain to strike at the victim, causing it to coil around the part of the body struck. While caught in your chain, attempts to heal that body part with regenerative ice may occasionally be foiled.
Note that you may not engage in the Ninshi and yank from it all in the same kata.
Effect: 50% chance for ice application to fail.
Yank:
Yanking will hide any poison afflictions received from poisons on your jakari.
Effect: Hides poisons and will add bruising or bleed depending on what you have less of.
If you have less bleeding, yank will deal 15% + 15% * number of affs (Internalbleeding, DamagedOrgans, Dysentery or Vomiting) of the targets current bruising. If your target has 1000 bruising and 200 bleeding, this will deal 150 to 750 bleeding. If bruising is less, it does the same, but based off bleeding.
This requires a barbed chain, otherwise it just increases bruising.
Dhatogh
Twist High Stance
Bonus Effect: DamagedOrgans
Bhaddogho
Twist Low Stance
Bonus Effect: Add 25 bleed and 12 bruising
Ninoaghi
| Syntax |
| KA NINOAGHI |
| Kata: Grapple Ender Bodyparts: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg |
Effect: Prone + 1sec Stun
Burst
| Syntax |
| KATA PERFORM <target> <form> BURST |
| Power: 2 (Megalith of Doom) |
Bursting your target causes all of their hemorrhaging to be converted to bruising and if your jakari is barbed, bleeding as well. Additionally if your target has more than 750 hemorrhaging, their body will weaken for a time a few seconds after they are bursted.
This weakened state will allow you to use Ughathalogg to its full effect.
Akogh
| Syntax |
| KA AKOGH <target> <bodypart> RIGHT |
| Kata: Leg Action Bodyparts: Head, Chest, Gut, Rarm, Larm, Rleg, Lleg |
Head: Blind
Chest: 50 bruising and converts to asphyxiation damage
Gut: 1s balance loss
Arms: Clumsiness
Legs: Prone
Akogh can only be used in the 3rd action of a kata form.
Barbs
| Syntax |
| ATTACH IRON TO <chain> |
| Commodities: iron 1 |
Head: Now your chain causes even more pain when you attach iron barbs. Those entangled in its coils will find their flesh ripped and torn to a bloody mess whenever the chain is removed from their body.
Effect: Converts 50% of bruising to bleeding

Wrap your jakari chain around your hands to improve their effectiveness in unarmed combat or wrap them around your body to give you a higher degree of protection. Note that while wrapped, you may not use the jakari chains to attack nor may you wield another. The chains may be unraveled for use in combat again.

| Syntax |
| KA JAKARIKOGHU |
| Kata: Arm Action Power: 5 (Megalith of Doom) |
For a short period of time, you will violently lash your jakari chains about whenever you attack anyone via the basic jakari attack. Those unfortunate enough to be your enemies will face being struck along with your intended target. However while in this state, the force of your attacks against your intended target will be slightly weaker than normal and those suffering collateral damage will suffer even lesser than that.
Effect: Hit all enemies in the room with jakari strikes for 50% reduced damage.

Byahkari
| Syntax |
| KA BYAHKARI |
| Power: 5 (Megalith of Doom) |
This sets up a defense move with your jakari chain spinning around you. Anyone who attempts to strike you will be stopped with an instant reaction. Your reactive strike will knock the target prone and stun for a good amount of time. Note that any move you make will interrupt byahkari.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Byahkari will NOT strike anyone you would not have been able to strike with a normal attack.
