Cherry blossoms and dark flame how they work I decided to put up a description of her two magical components for her attacks. The Cherry blossom is merely superheated particles of light in the shape of a blossom petal. The heat allows them to slice and burn through organic material. yet they can be blocked by resilient materials such as steel, due to light refracting harmlessly off of it. Shadows will bend, for reasoning as to why, please google a sundial or watch any timelapse video of how the sun alters the position of a shadow with its light. Darkness will be perforated and dissolved, using the basic pretense of what happens when you flick on a light switch in a dark room. Any claims such as "But it's magic so I can do whatever I want." will be countered with equal fervor using the same point, it's magic so my mumbo jumbo counters your mumbo jumbo since that is the standard you enforced. The dark flames are just fire, the darkness comes from her chi to symbolize the turmoil she suffers internally. It is metaphorical and doesn't add any special properties. Like any flame, they can be snuffed out by sizable water, a very potent enough gust, or removing the air around them. The Light burns inside out, not outside inward, while the flames combust and send whipping fire that will trigger second-degree burns on the exterior of influenced tissue. All flames attack leave embers that burn is stood in, last for 2 turns. When it comes to the heat of the fire/light Matsumota is immune, however not to any explosive blasts. The cannon prosthetic if destroyed, removes all skills with "Cannon" in its name at the start. She can fire 4 attacks before having to spend a turn reloading the device by inserting a magical crystal into the oscillating chamber. She carries only two such crystals on her person within her hammerspace. Scaling- Listen, I know this is going to ruff feathers. So before you flip out, Matsumota has been active since 2002 -Cannon skills- Cannon-Force- A quick instant fire attack combustion the air to create blowing kinetic energy at a target. Capable of breaking a bone or pushing a target back pending on mass/sturdiness. May also disperse environmental hazards such as poison gas, steam, or fire in front of her. max effective range is 40 ft width of 20ft in a cone (Crowd control) -Grappling Talons- The fox can fire forth four talons like a pink stinger from her cannon, capable of latching onto surfaces to pull herself to a location or target, or a target to her depending on the situation. Max range 80 ft, while a target is latched, she can feed her Chi throughout, resulting in the hook burning her prey. The grappling hook resembles a clawed pink hand that clings to a target or surface by clenching its grip around the mark. Connected by a blazing black chain. (Mobility/CC) -Magical Skills.- A thousand petal storm- The ability to coat her Katana or fist in pink and black energy, creating a blackened flame where the embers are cherry blossoms. Capable of a slash of energy from her sword. The v-shaped projectiles are fire and light, four feet in thickness while 20 feet in length. Able to travel across the battlefield at a fast speed, cutting and burning any flesh in its path (No concussive property). The maximum range it can move across is 120 ft, after which it simply disperses into nothingness. (Offensive V-Shaped attack) Sakura slide- Using her life force, Somber can, while in Stillness increase her speed two-fold. However, extended use will destroy her leg muscles. (More than three times in a battle) Alternatively, the slayer can use the energy to flip about the air and jolt to the side while midair for 30ft. Doing so leaves a bed of those signature burning petals. ​Petal blade- Matsumota coats her sword in a vortex of spinning yet compact cherry blossom embers, capable of burning through flesh, cloth, leather, and metals. It can also dissolve physical ranged projectile such as arrows before impact and displaces magical rounds. Any beam under 4 inches will be reflected to the user, while a fireball (for example) of 5inches or less in diameter will disperse. Can be applied to both ends of her katana. Extension- The blood fox can pour her mana, extending her lighted blade (Above skill) reach by 4x, slowing her to slash within 20ft of her location. This magic is highly concentrated. Coupled with her experience and mastery, the energy can cut through even plated armor.(Last for two turns) ​Gout of Blossoms- The samurai can harness her inner Chi to manifest a stream of superheated Cherry blossom particles of light from her fingers tips toward her target. The attack is a cone, traversing a maximum of 60 ft while maintaining a width of 30 feet at its widest. The heat is capable of burning the flesh from the inside out but can be prevented using darkness or blocking with either a potent magical barrier or a well-crafted shield. Petal Monsoon- The Khan can pour her Chi into her Katana, slashing it horizontally as black fire and superheated particles of Cherry blossom light erupt in a tornado moving forward at fast speed. The attack cannot suck in a target; however, if trapped inside, the victim will be subjected to scorching magma-like flames, as the light will become hard light, capable of cutting through the exposed flesh and light armor of the target. The tornado can travel up to 120ft, covering a 40ft wide area.
