Special Abilities

These are commands that unlock as you raise your monk guild level

Command	Guild Level	Duration	Cool Down	Effect
strike spectral	1	3s	9s	wc = 20 + spirit * 8
strike disarm	3	3s	10s	Chance to disarm your foe if they are wielding a weapon. This is a contest of strength, and mind. The chance is target strength skill - (attacker mind + attacker strength). And that is skill, not carry weight
strike paralyze	3	3s	10s	Paralyzes the target, with the same save/resistance as the paralysis spell. Mind skill increases potency.
commune	5	10 seconds + .5 seconds per spirit	5 mins	Become transparent as your body partially shifts to another plane, reducing most incoming damage, and also reducing your ability to strike foes in the physical plane. Spirit travel reduces damage further, and increases the chance that your attacks land. Beware though, while in this other plane spectral (magic) damage is dramatically increased. You lose a significant amount of spectral resist, and gain significant spectral vulnerability. Non-lore speak, you get a huge amount of whole-body protection, and most of your hits will miss. Your chance to hit foes starts at just 10%, and caps at 75% chance to hit at 13 spirit travel. Also, magic resist reduction, and magic vulnerability are both decreased with more spirit travel.
strike stun	7	3s	10s	Stuns the target. This is a new effect in the game. Consider it super paralysis. It uses the same saves, resistances, and vulnerability. In addition to being unable to move, the target cannot melee attack, drink, or cast. Note: This is a player-only ability, so you won't get hit with this except in pvp)
strike fire	9	3s	9s	wc = 20 + fire * 8
strike cold	9	3s	9s	wc = 20 + water * 8
strike shock	9	3s	9s	wc = 20 + air * 8
burst	10	30s	45s	Attacks speed increases by 0.1 per 10 levels. So at level 10, it is 0.1, at level 50 it is 0.5. This increase will go over the racial max attack speed. Also dramatically increases hunger. Requires users to be using monk weapons.
