===Some Basic Practices for an Oni Mage===
Black Dart (Missile) - A ranged attack art, throwing a knife at a high speed. Aware targets have a higher chance to dodge the dart. Targets who cannot move or defend themselves take more damage. Targets who are in the midst of practicing, performing an action that can be interrupted, or otherwise preoccupied such that they will not move are maimed. Effect diminishes with recent use, as described above.

Eclipse Step (Breach) - Trick. Can mark out a path and cross physical barriers. At the most basic use, crossing through glass windows without breaking the glass. With more advanced use, can pass through walls if the moon shines on either side, or go from the ground, up a wall, to a rooftop. On a battlefield, these paths way allow one to move without difficulty through some hazards and avoid attacks of enemies while moving along the path. Works with mere gestures and focus if the moonlight and shadow are both pronounced (and if the practitioner’s abilities are sufficient). If they are not, can take time in advance, typically with a blade held out and a means of creating a path of light or shadow- the blade may be held up, the light reflecting off of the edge to draw a line, which Eclipse Step can then be used with. May take several rounds, depending on ability and environment. Oni Mages and Oni can cross this path naturally, but others generally only do so with practice.

Oni Eye (Empower) - Trick. The practitioner chooses an art or an offensive trick and declares it alongside a target. After a set number of rounds (often 3) they can use the art with added strength (multiplicative with rare use, multiplicative with conditions met), and it isn’t counted as being quite as recently used. Variants exist, depending on the family (Lotus Eye = target everyone in range after a delay, Stone Eye = the effect lasts far longer)

Seal Hand/Foot (Pacify) - A basic ofuda that most Oni Mage practitioners can draw themselves. Made as a ranged attack, or slapped on as a physical attack (for double duration), hampers the use of one limb or slows movement with a pronounced limp.

Fade Into Mist (Obscure) - Trick. Produces a cloud of mist, and the practitioner can elect to enter the Spirit World. If they do, they may be more vulnerable to some practices, if the enemy looks for them there, but they are otherwise undetectable to conventional sight and Sight and can choose somewhere nearby where they reappear. One cannot generally take offensive action while in the spirit world, and must remain there for one round before reappearing. Size of cloud and distance of movement before being revealed greatly increase with puissance and time between uses.

More Complicated Stuff...

Ofuda - A common approach, because they can cover many of the bases for an Oni Mage, being usable without frittering away or revealing all of their arts. Ofuda are slips of paper with symbols inscribed on them. While they can be (and are often mixed up with) ordinary runes and symbols tied to the standard spirit world, Oni Mages use ones that the Sight will identify as different, and the script is distinctly different and more ornate. Thrown at a target, they imply an if/then effect. They usually require the help of an Oni to make and the breadth, strength, and assortment a practitioner might get are dependent on their power and their relationship to the Oni. Once used, an Ofuda is consumed.
