Ki Attacks

rdfs:comment

A staple of the martial arts genre. Ki (also chi or qi) is the life force energy of the martial artist and/or the world around him; true masters can tap into that energy and use it for what amounts to superhero-style attacks. Compare Chi with Mana. Learning how to do Ki Attacks usually results in your rival learning his own, leading to an endless cycle of My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours. If the attack is not based on Ki or Mana, then the trope is Hand Blasts. Using Ki will usually produce a Battle Aura. Types of Ki Attacks include: May be represented with Blasting Time.

A staple of the martial arts genre. Ki (also chi or qi) is the life force energy of the martial artist and/or the world around him; true masters can tap into that energy and use it for what amounts to superhero-style attacks. Compare Chi with Mana. Learning how to do Ki Attacks usually results in your rival learning his own, leading to an endless cycle of My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours. If Functional Magic also exists in the universe, there's usually a distinction made between the two, comparable to the distinction between Psychic Powers and Functional Magic in Western Speculative Fiction. If no distinction is made, it's Supernatural Martial Arts. If a character can use both individually, then they're a Kung Fu Wizard. At times may overlap with The Force, which isn't surprising as the Star Wars ability was based on the concept. Sometimes the Ki Attacks are a part of some Martial Arts and Crafts, making it either Rule of Funny or Rule of Cool. If the attack is not based on Ki or Mana, then the trope is Hand Blasts. Using Ki will usually produce a Battle Aura. Not to be confused with an attack that uses the Keyblade, or an attack that uses that D'ni wristwatch from Uru Live as a weapon. Types of Ki Attacks include: * Pure Energy: The basic ki attack, just channeling energy. * Energy Ball: A spherical form of said energy. * Cold Flames: Using that same ki to create artificial, ghostly flames. * Elemental Powers: Turning your own spirit energy into one of the elements for some Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors effect! * Elemental Punch: Using your fist covered in elemental power. * Kamehame Hadoken: The biggest, baddest attack used in one giant beam. * Combined Energy Attack: Not only using your own, but anyone else's spirit energy. * Sensing: Can sense the spirit energy of others, can tell where they may be and how powerful they are. * Self-Enhancement: Use chi to boost own physical body, becoming stronger, faster and tougher. At times, even able to fly. * Shapeshifting: Uses spirit energy to gain a new form. Can vary from a different hair cut and , all the way to looking like a different species. * The Empath: Sensing the feelings of others by their aura. May be represented with Blasting Time. Examples of Ki Attacks include:
