Name: The Silver Fox Technique
Technique Power Ranking: C
Description: The Silver Fox Technique embodies the cunning, agility, and charm of the legendary silver fox, a creature revered for its intelligence and ability to deceive and evade foes. Practitioners of this technique must actively hunt progressively stronger fox-like and mystic creatures to gain their traits, blending trickery with combat prowess.
Pathways:
Stage One: To master the first stage, the practitioner must hunt and kill 10 Normal-ranked fox-like creatures, harvesting their essence by collecting their tails and crafting a potion infused with their fur and tails. The potion must be consumed at dusk under the fading light of the sun.
Bonus: Increases agility and reflexes by 1.5x. Grants minor illusions immunity below D Rank.
Backlash: Extended use of illusion immunity can cause headaches.
Stage Two: The practitioner must track and kill 5 F-ranked foxes and 5 F-ranked mystical creatures. After collecting their blood, they must create a potion to drink under the light of a crescent moon.
Bonus: Allows the practitioner’s ability to create illusions within 10 meters and conceal their presence briefly. Agility improves by 2x, and their reflexes sharpen further.
Backlash: The use of illusions weakens the practitioner’s focus during prolonged combat, leaving them vulnerable to sudden attacks.
Stage Three: To progress, the practitioner must hunt and slay 5 E-ranked silver foxes, known for their intelligence. They must craft a cloak or accessory from the foxes' fur and wear it while defeating three additional mystical creatures.
Bonus: Gains resistance to magical attacks by 15% and fire-based attacks by 30%. Agility improves by 2.5x, and their illusions become more convincing and harder to detect.
Backlash: Prolonged combat in environments devoid of natural elements weakens their mana flow, reducing the effectiveness of their illusions.
Stage Four: The practitioner must locate and defeat 5 D-ranked phantom foxes, elusive creatures that use both illusions and agility to outwit their prey. They must battle these creatures relying only on their senses and cunning.
Bonus: Reflexes and agility improve by 3x, and the practitioner gains the ability to create mid-scale illusions to confuse and misdirect enemies within 50-meters. Gains the ability to sense magical auras within a 30-meter radius.
Backlash: Extended use of mid-scale illusions leads to mental strain and temporary mana instability.
Stage Five: The practitioner must track and defeat a C-ranked fox-like creature and mystical creature. After defeating the creatures, they must craft a potion from its body and drink it during dawn.
Bonus: Gains the ability to use illusion shift, a short-range teleportation move that leaves behind an illusory decoy. Physical strength increases by 1.5x, agility by 3.5x, and illusions become nearly indistinguishable from sensing abilities below C-Rank.
Backlash: The connection to the fox’s essence causes emotional instability, including bursts of paranoia or overconfidence.
Final Stage: To achieve mastery, the practitioner must locate and defeat a B-ranked mystical fox. They must absorb the fox's essence through a ritual performed during the break of dawn.
Bonus: Gains the ability to summon a spectral silver fox companion capable of creating powerful soul-level illusions to deceive and attack enemies. The companion also enhances the practitioner’s agility and combat reflexes in all environments. The practitioner can sense enemies and magic within a 50-meter radius.
Backlash: Maintaining the connection with the spectral fox causes significant mental fatigue and ki drain, leaving the practitioner weakened after prolonged use.
