I haven't read any of the abilities since I'd be saving that for the eventual lore review, but I think calling this "Chi" is a bad move. At least to me, Chi was meant for East-Asian inspired Chinese Kung Fu Monkeys on Aeldin. Suddenly giving it an Indian theme when there is practically no Indian-inspired cultures on the continent of Aeldin (IK :nerd:) just feels very off and against the spirit of the original lore. Chi was originally shelved because it was hardly used and not spread; I think giving it an even more niche subculture will lead to the same problems ultimately. I HIGHLY recommend giving this magic a different name given Chi's pre-existing lore connotations.

"T'wouldst be a most cordial union; alas, these houses art so boring... Valorous w'rk on the heresy though, thy most Unholy of Emperors approves!" spoke a boney King of Kings.

"At long last, the Church of Canon has released something that every man - be they pagan, Owynist or Sigismundian - can appreciate wholeheartedly and with newfound reverence." spoke a normally disillusioned Lector.

TREATY OF DRAGON AND BONE, 1907 Issued and Confirmed by His Imperial Majesty the Holy Orenian Emperor Leopold I Francis, 13th of Sun's Smile, 1907. TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS, With great jubilance the Imperial Administorum announces that His Imperial Majesty, Leopold I Francis Horen and the benevolent Daemon Iblees have engaged in mutual alliance to destroy the enemies of Mankind. This exchange of power and troops is paramount to the future success of the Human realm. For too long has Humanity been forced upon its knees by the likes of traitors and Non-Human invaders. The last Golden Age of Mankind was that of the Johannian regime, one which our benevolent Emperor seeks to perpetuate this golden age through plague and war. Why offer allegiance to those petty houses and usurpers who continue to fail you? The Imperium expresses its gratitude to the Kingdom of Haense and extends an olive branch of brotherhood as it had done centuries before. Whereas our Brothers in the North seek to tiptoe about their heresies to the damnable Canon, we of the Empire embrace it and seek no justification, for our actions are not sin at all. If one must choose between Dragons, it is wiser to choose the House of Horen. Show not fear in the face of inquisition, dear citizens, for the Canon’s teeth grow dull and tired. We of the true Imperium seek only the restitution of our once great people, and we reject the stagnancy wrought upon by current rebel regimes. IT IS THUS DECREED: The Forces of Iblees and The Unholy Orenian Empire agree to a mutual pact of war in both offensive and defensive actions. The Forces of Iblees and The Unholy Orenian Empire shall enter a state of war against the usurping cadet branches of Horen that have taken residence within Balian and Aaun. Only through their complete and total subjugation or eradication may both parties be freed from this tenet. The Forces of Iblees agree to grant The Unholy Orenian Empire’s army immortality so that it may become inexhaustible. The Unholy Orenian Empire agrees to offer its soldiers, lands and nobility to the greater cause of Iblees Eternal. The Unholy Orenian Empire agrees to outlaw the Church of Canon and its misleading, superstitious dogma. AMMENDUM: The Forces of Iblees and The Unholy Orenian Empire agree to extend the privilege of free trade and travel between both dignified peoples. IN NOMINE DEI, His Imperial Majesty Leopold I Francis of the House of Horen, by the Grace of IBLEES, Unholy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostate King in Oren, of Savoy, Aaun, Haense, Westerlands and Salvus, Destroyer of the Faith, Duke of the Crownlands, Avar, Frederica, Krajia, and Cascadia, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Johannesburg, Louvain, Beauclair, Sundholt, Estavar, and Wett. Sovereign of Humanity, Suzerain of the Elves and Protector of the Dominion of Malin, etcetera.

"Who could have predicted that the Dragonmen would whispah' sweet nothings into the ears of weak minded men? Who had envisioned that they would act with selfish, heretical goals in mind? Who foresaw that they would continue to ignore the corruption of their master, and make weak justifications for their loyalties?" inquired a glowing Easterner. "I also want reparations for threatening to remove the fire altah' in Minitz, but no one can hear me..." he wept.

SUMMONS FOR PATRIOTIC SACRIFICE, 1907 Issued and Confirmed by His Imperial Majesty the Holy Orenian Emperor Leopold I Francis, 20th of Godfrey’s Triumph, 1907. TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS, His Imperial Majesty, Leopold I Francis Horen, seeks to ascend to a power not yet seen upon this mortal plane. Two living dedicants must be offered to the benevolent master, Iblees, so that the House of Horen may never fall again. Those patriotic servants of the House of Horen will be rewarded with honors perpetual. They who pay this tithe will be made Knights of the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon, their names inscribed in the Hall of Heroes for generations to come. Further, these zealous loyalists shalt be risen from the grave and offered a place within the Emperor’s host as a member of his Nauzican Regiment. Those most of noble hearts and dedication to the House of Horen may deliver a letter to His Imperial Majesty's personal aviary, where the quality of the servant shall be judged. Those deemed worthy shall be delivered instructions for further steps when required by the Imperial Crown. IN NOMINE DEI, His Imperial Majesty Leopold I Francis of the House of Horen, by the Grace of IBLEES, Unholy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostate King in Oren, of Savoy, Aaun, Haense, Westerlands and Salvus, Destroyer of the Faith, Duke of the Crownlands, Avar, Frederica, Krajia, and Cascadia, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Johannesburg, Louvain, Beauclair, Sundholt, Estavar, and Wett. Sovereign of Humanity, Suzerain of the Elves and Protector of the Dominion of Malin, etcetera.

"Oh no, why have you called Anarra Ser? It should be Dame! Oh no, I am not young enough for dis" bemoans an old traditionalist.

[LORE AMENDMENT/ADDITION] MALCHEDIAEL'S RADIANT TEMPLARS CLEANSING CLAP ADDITION: Cleansing Clap - T5 A Templar who wishes to expel a curse upon another may do so with righteous fury. Upon swelling their very beings with holy wroth, the Templar would send the back of their hand towards the face of their desired target with the force of a hammer. Upon striking the individual, the aura would transfer into the individual with the sensation of purgation and fire. Wretched dark afflictions would be expelled from the target's body as the raw and erogenous touch of Malchediael batters their very soul for but a moment. Mechanics: This spell takes five emotes to cast: the first emote is to concentrate upon the courage within a Templar; the second emote is to draw Malchediael's light about the Templar's hand; the third emote has the Templar verbally perform a litany pertaining to the expulsion of curses and the opposition of evil; the fourth emote has the Templar wind their body back in preparation for the slap; and the fifth and final emote is to deliver the divine clap upon the target's cheeks. Redlines - - Cleansing Clap is capable of purging any and all curses, including those wrought upon by Djinn and Druids. - Cleansing Clap will strike a target with the force of a swung hammer and is capable of cracking skulls, breaking jaws, etc. - Cleansing Clap is incapable of affecting most Dark CAs given that they do not possess souls. Dark CAs currently unaffected include: Nephilim, Siliti, Frost Wtiches, Werebeasts, Kharajyr, Inferni + Naztherak, Undead [Dark-Stalkers/Liches/ETC.] Epiphytes. This said, Wights, Haunts and other spectral beings would perish in one hit if touched by the Cleansing Clap. - Cleansing Clap will shatter the Templar's hand if struck incorrectly or used in a punching capacity. Only a backhand constitutes proper form.
