Durag Abilities

Durag Quick Shot

The user quickly conjures and throws a small fast-moving ball of durag energy out from their palm that "pops" on impact. This ability is the simplest to learn, taking no time at all to figure out, and uses the smallest amount of power out of most other abilities. This can be considered the "basic punch" of durag abilities and might even work when the amount of remaining power is so low that others fail to function.

• Easy to learn

• Uses almost no power

• Barely requires any remaining power

Shockwave Push (Quick)

The user balls their hands into a fist, channels some power through it, and thrusts their arms out to the ground in a downward "V" formation with their fingers spread apart. The power that at first rested in their clenched hand chaotically rushes outward, causing a visible circular shockwave that pushes others away and kicks surrounding dust up into the air. The force from the singular shockwave is enough to blow most small animals (like birds) and humanoids (without good footing) away, onto the ground, or cause them to stumble a bit.

This ability has a fairly high learning curve compared to others and requires decently strong muscles to execute. This defensive move consumes a fairly small amount of power compared to most other abilities, but still requires a decent amount of power present to execute correctly, otherwise the shockwave might be equivalent to that of a wind gust.

• Not so easy to learn

• Requires a moderate amount of arm strength

• Uses little power

• Requires a moderate amount of remaining power

  • CAN still be used without this requirement but is MUCH less effective

Durag Charge Shot

The user takes about a second to output and fling a ball of durag energy out from their hands that explodes on impact, leaving a small crater. This ability requires the user having already learned "Durag Quick Shot" but isn't the hardest feat to pull off. Using the attack correctly might take a few tries depending on the skill and cunning of the user, but with the right amount of dexterity and calm patience, the attack can be learned fairly quick so long as the user has the arm strength to lift about fifteen pounds. This uses a considerably small amount of power compared to most other abilities but might start to fail when energy levels get dangerously low.

• Somewhat easy to learn but REQUIRES that the user knows "Durag Quick Shot"

• Requires a small amount of dexterity and 15 lbs. arm strength

• Uses little power

• Requires a small amount of remaining power

• Explodes

Shockwave Push

The user balls their hands into a fist and channels a considerable amount of power through it. They then thrust their arms out, pointing to the ground in a downward "V" formation with their fingers spread apart and back slightly arched from the sheer force they just exerted. The power that once rested in their clenched hand instantly rushes outward, causing multiple circular shockwaves to visibly form, pushing others away and kicking surrounding dust and small stones or rubble up into the air. The force from the shockwaves is enough to blow most humanoids back a couple steps, onto the ground, or tumble a bit, if not from the first wave, then possibly the rest.

The number of shockwaves produced depends on the maximum power of the individual using this ability. Using this defensive move correctly could take many attempts and requires strong leg muscles to do effectively. This ability consumes a moderate amount of power, but also drains a slight bit of the user's stamina when used. Execution requires a fairly high amount of power to be present, otherwise the number of shockwaves will be greatly reduced, and each might be equivalent to that of a strong wind gust (nothing more).

• Not easy to learn

• Requires a somewhat high amount of leg strength

• Uses moderate amounts of power and a little stamina

• Requires a somewhat high amount of remaining power

  • CAN still be used without this requirement but is MUCH less effective and the number of shockwaves will be less

Durag Blast (Quick)

The user forcefully launches a VERY short beam of durag energy after about half a second of focusing that travels slightly faster than a rocket. This projectile explodes on impact, leaving a fairly large hole, even in fairly hard substances like wood and rock. This ability requires the user having a slightly below average amount of power remaining and takes some concentration to pull off, as well as the arm strength to lift about forty pounds. Using the attack correctly might take a slight bit of practice for untrained individuals, but with the right amount of strength and calm patience, the attack can be learned fairly quick. This uses slightly below moderate amounts of power compared to most other abilities, but might start to fail when energy levels get uncomfortably low.

• Not easy to learn

• Requires a moderate amount of concentration and 40 lbs. arm strength

• Uses somewhat moderate amounts of power

• Requires a moderate amount of remaining power

• Can destroy somewhat hard materials

Durag Blast

The user focuses their power in a specific spot (or set of spots) and shoots a thick beam of durag energy from that location, which disintegrates certain materials or objects in it's path. The amount of time needed to focus the power depends on the maximum power of the user and can range anywhere from sixty seconds to two. The thick beam of destructive energy travels faster than ALL rockets, and slower than most energy\power based weaponry projectiles. The sheer force of the beam causes a moderately sized explosion upon contact with a wall or other solid surface, and tends to make a fairly huge hole, even in hard substances like metal and iron.

This ability requires the user having a slightly above average amount of power remaining and takes A LOT of concentration to do, as well as the arm strength to lift about sixty-five pounds or more (depending on how MUCH durag energy (or equivalent) was passed through). Using the attack correctly takes a fair amount of practice, even for trained individuals, but the right amount of strength and anger\desperation can teach an individual to execute it.

Mastering the ability will take considerably more practice, which is REQUIRED to pass more than the base amount of energy through it. This uses large amounts of power compared to most other abilities and will start to fail when power levels get low enough, especially when more than usual is passed through.

• Somewhat hard to learn

  • Easier to learn in times of anger or desperation

  • Can be more powerful (through channeling more power to it) when mastered (through practice)

• Requires a HIGH amount of concentration and 65+ lbs. arm strength (depending on the amount of power channeled)

• Uses HIGH amounts of power

• Requires a somewhat high amount of remaining power

• Can destroy hard materials

• Requires some time to begin based on user's focus

Durag Aura

The user focuses their power around them and manifests it into a glowing aura, causing their stats to multiply. The oval shaped aura stays centered around the torso of the user (even if their limbs break the outline) and most closely resembles a flame (while not exact in nature) as it flows up from the user's feet. While the user experiences an INSTANT 2x boost to their health, and power (as well as strength and speed), their armor remains untouched, although the boost DOES stack with the durag multipliers.

The boosts to said stats are only temporary however, as once the aura disperses upward (which occurs when the ability is deactivated), the power within the user returns back to it's normal state and a moderate hit in stamina is experienced during said deactivation. In the event that reversing the multipliers' effects during deactivation causes current health to be under or at zero, current health remains at one and the user remains living (just the same as unlinking from a durag (specified here)).

This ability requires the user having a large amount of power remaining, and ALSO requires the user having "unlocked it". This means that those with the ability can NOT make use of it until they've done it AT LEAST ONCE (also known as a "Normal" start, and a "Quick" start once learned to do at will). Furthermore, activating the "buff"\powerup requires IMMENCE CURRENT physical or mental\emotional strain (until they learn to activate it willingly), often nearing or at a mental breaking point. Activation of this ability will use a moderate amount of power, but once activated, power will slowly replenish overtime, though activation WILL fail if current power is less than a sixth (0.16).

If the user attempts to activate the ability but does NOT have the required amount of power, the ability will visually AND audibly APPEAR to have been activated, but the aura will only flow upward for a second before dispersing and the multipliers will NOT be applied, though the previously mentioned stamina drain WILL occur (as if it was deactivated, since it technically WAS activated, but could not maintain itself).

If the user has learned to use this ability at will (and doesn't rely on extreme stress to activate it (also known as a "Quick Start")) AND has the "Shockwave Push (Quick)" ability (either from a durag or other source) with the power needed for BOTH, they can cause THAT ability to trigger and push those around the user backward slightly RIGHT before the aura and modifiers activate. If the power for only the "Shockwave Push (Quick)" ability is present, that will execute successfully, but THIS ability will fail as described above.

• Can NOT be learned (the user must have been triggered it once through HIGH amounts of distress)

  • Can be "Quick" started when mastered (through practice)

  • If the user knows "Shockwave Push (Quick)", BOTH abilities can be used at the same time

• Requires a HIGH amount of concentration and 65+ lbs. arm strength (depending on the amount of power channeled)

• Uses moderate amounts of power

  • Power will regenerate while "buff" is active (similarly to when some durags are worn)

• Uses moderate amounts of stamina when deactivated

• Requires a HIGH amount of remaining power

  • Fails if remaining power is less than 1\6th (0.16) of the user's maximum

• INSTANT 2x boost to maximum health, current health, maximum power, current power, strength, and speed
