Dragon's Mountain - Technique
n A Rise, Water
Rank: 4
Activation: As a Support action, you may make a TN 6 Theology (Water) check targeting one position containing a large quantity of water at range 0–3.
Effect: If you succeed, you summon a Manifest Water Kami (see Core Book page 324) to fight for you. It appears from the targeted body of water and obeys you for two rounds, plus additional rounds equal to your bonus successes, taking its turn immediately after yours each round. When this effect ends, the manifest water kami departs or, if stirred to particular ire, begins to follow its own directives. If it begins to act independently, it does not attack the shugenja who summoned it unless provoked.
New Opportunities
Water L: The manifest water kami attempts to swallow up anyone inside it; each such character must resist with a TN 4 Fitness check (Earth 2, Fire 5) or be pulled into the water kami and begin suffocating (see Suffocation, in the Core Book on page 269). As an action, a character who failed to resist may make a TN 3 Fitness check (Earth 1, Fire 4) to escape this watery prison.
Water L: Upon arrival, the water kami may move a number of range bands up to your Water Ring.
Water L+: You split the manifest water kami into a number of smaller manifest water kami equal to L spent this way. Each one has an endurance equal to 12 divided by the number of L spent this way (rounded up).
