: '''Syntax:'''            SHIN TRANCE

: '''Syntax:'''            SHIN TRANCE

Swordplay and Striking are supremely graceful arts, the fury of bloodshed tempered by rhythm, control, and prowess. Entering the Shin trance, you may sensitise yourself to the cadence and flow of combat, accumulating Shin energy with every strike you land upon a foe. Successfully channelling this energy is essential in order to unleash many of the advanced Shindo, TwoArts, and Striking techniques. The more powerful your opponent, the more Shin energy you will gain from striking them. Shin energy will slowly dissipate over time.
