Editing Once more with feeling/Custom Martial Arts (section)

==Water Dragon==
*Here are rewrites of select Charms from the style to pump up their power a little bit and bring them closer in line with the 2e ruleset.
===Flowing Water Defense===
*'''Cost:''' 1m; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 2, Essence 1; '''Type:''' Reflexive (Step 1)
*'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK
*'''Duration:''' (Essence) actions
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None
*While this Charm is in effect, the Immaculate suffers a -1 internal penalty to his attack pools, and anyone who tries to attack him suffers a -3 internal penalty to their attack pools.
===Drowning-in-Blood Technique===
*'''Cost:''' 4m; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 3, Essence 2; '''Type:''' Simple (Speed 4)
*'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK, Stackable
*'''Duration:''' Instant
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Rippling Water Strike
*After a successful Martial Arts attack, instead of doing damage, roll (Strength + Martial Arts) and compare it to the target's (Stamina + Resistance + Essence)/2, rounded up. Treat the latter as a DV for the purposes of Excellencies and similar Charms. If the roll succeeds, the target suffers internal bleeding and loses one dot of Stamina for a number of actions equal to the Immaculate's Martial Arts.
*Subsequent uses of this Charm on the same target cause the loss of another dot of Stamina and extend the effects by (Immaculate's Martial Arts) actions. Targets with Stamina 0 take damage straight to their Dying health levels, and take damage normally when targeted again by this Charm.
===Flow Reversal Strike===
*'''Cost:''' --; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; '''Type:''' Permanent
*'''Keywords:''' None
*'''Duration:''' Permanent
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Water Dragon Form
*This Charm permanently enhances Drowning-in-Blood Technique. When using Drowning-in-Blood Technique, the Martial Artist rolls (Strength + Martial Arts + Essence) instead of (Strength + Martial Arts), and the Charm gains the Crippling keyword, which removes the time limit on the Stamina loss. Once lost, the dots of Stamina remain lost until healed naturally or with magic.
===Crashing Wave Style===
*'''Cost:''' 4m; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; '''Type:''' Extra Action
*'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK
*'''Duration:''' Instant
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Flow Reversal Strike
*This Charm is a magical flurry of Martial Arts-based attacks which ignores multiple action penalties and rate. The Immaculate makes a total number of attacks equal to his (Martial Arts).

===Theft-of-Essence Method===
*'''Cost:''' 4m, 1wp; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; '''Type:''' Supplemental
*'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK
*'''Duration:''' Instant
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Water Dragon Form
*This Charm supplements a Martial Arts-based attack. If the attack succeeds, the Immaculate's player rolls (Essence + Martial Arts) against a difficulty of the target's (Essence)/2, rounded up, stealing 2m for each threshold success from his target and adding them to his own pools – Personal first, then Peripheral, as normal. If used against a target that lacks an Essence pool, or whose Essence pools are empty, this Charm has no effect.
(Paperback)      Dipersloot has been practicing vairous forms of the  soft' martial arts for quite a long time.  This volume covers his discovery of the importance of Qigong standing meditation from three masters.  He then discusses some finer points of Taiqi's  Grasp Bird Tail' which is the only moving form now practiced by the senior master he trained under.Dipersloot has quite a lot of good tips for standing meditation which is great since too many authors seem to imply there is nothing to it.  It is true that, like sitting, you just need to stand _but_ it does help to have some pointers.  That is, if you start standing meditation then eventually your body will find the correct Qi position but this could take a long long time for many.His points about the correct posture and breathing from the Dantien are communicated quite clearly.  So are the guidelines from Master Cai about the energy points and general alignment.  There is a great section, taken from one of Master Cai's discussions, that very succinctly covers the important aspects of meditation in general and standing meditation in particular.The real weakness here are the very crude computer-modified  photos .  Diepersloot apologizes at the beginning about the quality of the photos (he was busy writing down everything the masters said) but that is not an excuse for what is used in the book.  Spending some extra time with some volunteers to get quality photos would help the give the book the image of quality it requires; they would also help make some points much more clearly.A good reference for anyone with some questions about standing meditation.  Should go up on the shelf with Mantak Chia,  Qigong Empowerment  and  The Roots of Qigong .  better yet, find out when WISH is holding a class near you and go meet a real master for proper instruction.

===Tsunami Force Shout===
*'''Cost:''' 8m, 1wp; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 4; '''Type:''' Simple
*'''Keywords:''' Combo-Basic, Obvious
*'''Duration:''' Instant
*'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Essence-Dousing Wave Attack
