Martial Arts, Potions & Crystals (Anheim's Tale).

Recently met my internal requirements of having '2nd Dan' black belt.

... i did not announce it still, still wearing a simple black belt - without extra golden pagons.

... when enemies underestimate me, i'll have advantage - that's why.


... what should i do to advance myself to '3rd Dan'?

... the most important ability to learn is 'Diamond Soul', secret inner practices that can help one to protect against spells.

... perhaps Chea will find time for me, to practice this ability with her.

... should practice with exotic weapons as Katana Sword, Kukri and Kamas, as well.


Martial Arts training is harsh, certain practicioners aren't nice, aren't mature enough, aren't responsible enough considering power they have, and wield.


During combat, one fatigues very fast - as if our Teachers demanded from us superhuman strength, wisdom, dexterity etc.

... but perhaps it's planned that way.

Spirituality of Martial Arts is to not engage in combat when not neccessary ... and when neccessary, one can spend coins on Potions & Spell Crystals.


With Chea's help, i've studied some theories and spells descriptions - not only Arcane spells, also Divine & Druidic Spells.

Most useful ones are:
- Divine Power,
- Haste,
- Improved Invisibility ... but also Invisibility,
- Freedom of Movement,
- Death Ward,
- Cat's Grace,
- Owl's Wisdom,
- Bull's Strength,
- Protection from Elements ... but also Endure Elements.
- ...


... i think i should start preparing for times when serious combat is needed - collecting potions and spell crystals that hold these spells.

... also, with Divine Power and Haste ... fighting with my Bo Staff or Katana Sword may be efficient as well.

... some kind of strength potion or item also helps.

-=- Bo Staff with Power of Coral. -=-		-=- a Well-made Steel Katana. -=-
-=- a Spell Crystal with 'Haste' spell.		-=- a 'Divine Power' Potion. -=-
-=- Ring of Battlefury. -=- -=- Causes Barbarian Rage. -=-		-=- Potions of Bull's Strength. -=-

P.S. i should also arm myself with two Kamas, and/or enchant my well-made Steel Katana sword - as these are slashing weapons.

... certain monsters - as zombies for example - are immune or nearly immune to fists and staves as these cause bludgeoning damage, and knives causing piercing damage.
