| bgcolor=#AABBB0 | Suffuse your blade with ice.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#BBC8BF |

: '''Syntax:'''            INFUSE VOID
                 
: '''Extra Information:''' Shin Energy: 5
: '''Details:'''
By channelling accumulated Shin energy into your sword, you may fold the recondite power of the Void about your blade.

&#42;&#42; Your blade may only be infused with one element at a time.

|-

: '''Known:''' No (1564 lessons required)
: '''Syntax:'''            SANYA
                 
: '''Extra Information:''' Stance: Void
: '''Details:'''
Empty of all things, Void is absolute nothingness without boundary or end. The clarity gained by driving away thought, and by freeing your mind of distraction, in contemplation of Void, will enhance your connection with your physical form. Striking from this stance will yield more Shin energy, and less will be consumed by most abilities.
|-
| bgcolor=#AABBB0 | '''Brokenstar'''
| bgcolor=#AABBB0 | Draw the broken star across your foe.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#BBC8BF |
: '''Known:''' No (1736 lessons required)
