As soon as you take your first ''Shen Secret'' from this Lore Sheet your mind breaks, just a little. Any Inner Masteries you know from the [[Xia:_The_Way_Of_Perfected_Shen|Way of Perfected Shen]] are instantly lost, and you can never again learn Inner Masteries from that Lore Sheet. Also, your Mental Trait is permanently reduced by -1. If this reduces your Mental Trait to zero, you become a gibbering lunatic, with no mental function worth speaking of, and effectively become unplayable as a character.

Assuming you have at least Mental 1 remaining, you should still roleplay out your character's fractured sanity. Delusions, hallucinations, affective disorders and tics are all suitable.
+
'''Effect:''' Make a Mental attack against the target. If you successfully deal 1 or more Mental Resilience damage the target, then the target is tagged as being ''Obvious'' to you for the remainder of the conflict.  
 +
 
 +
If the target has 0 Mental Resilience when you activate this power, it works automatially (no attack roll needed) and has no chi cost.
 +
 
 +
Whenever you attack the ''Obvious'' target (with a mental, physical or social attack) the target must declare all defensive channelling and defensive kung-fu secret use immediately, '''before''' you declare any of your offensive channelling or offensive kung fu secret use.

'''Cost:''' None. Takes one hour.

'''Effect:''' This power cannot be used ''during'' a Conflict, and must be completed immediately beforehand. The GM tells you the following information about the next planned conflict he has in the session:
  
−
'''Keywords:''' ''Action; Mental; Attack; Concentration; Graceless;''
+
* It's primary type (mental, social or physical)
 +
* Who the enemies will be (just their names and numbers, not the full stats)
  
−
'''Effect:''' Make a Mental Attack. Roll a D6 to determine power of the attack, then another D6 to determine motion, then a D6 for accuracy. The target of this attack may not use any channelling or kung fu secrets in defence against your attack.
+
Note that actions of yourselves or others can then effect the accuracy of that prediction, and that the prediction is made purely on the GM's best guess as to what is going to happen next. If the GM doesn't know what the next conflict will be, he will tell you so.

'''Cost:''' None.

'''Cost:''' 3 Yang Chi and 3 Yin Chi.

'''Keywords:''' ''Preparation;''

'''Keywords:''' ''Action; Subtle;''
  
−
'''Effect:''' Roll a D6 and deduct one: this is your new Mental Trait. Roll another D6 and deduct one: this is your new Social Trait. These trait levels stay in place for the next D6 hours. During this time you cannot use ''New Personality'' again.
+
'''Effect:''' As an action, select one opponent that has a lower mental trait than you. The next attack (mental, physical or social) that opponent makes automatically misses.
  
−
Note that if you roll a 1 on either D6, then for the duration of the power you will be a gibbering wreck, unable to function in ''any'' conflict of ''any'' sort.
+
Note that the next attack the opponent made does not need to be against you personally - regardless of who the target is the attack fails!

=Discipline of Prediction Analysis=
 +
 +
''"Information, flow to me. I am ready."''
 +
 +
'''Cost:''' 2 Yang Chi and 2 Yin Chi to adopt this disccipline.
 +
 +
'''Keywords:''' ''Discipline; Mental;''
 +
 +
'''Effect:''' While you maintain this Discipline, reduce the chi cost of any kung fu secrets on this Lore Sheet to zero.
 +
 +
'''Maintain:''' Maintaining this discipline requires complete attention. If you use any kung fu secrets not from this lore sheet, the discipline immediately ends. Also, you may never activate any ''Stances'' or ''Postures'' while maintaining this discipline, not activate this discipline if you are maintaining any ''Stances'' or ''Postures''.
