Powers of the Dark: This power you’re using isn’t good- it’s dark, almost darkness incarnate- and the darkness gnaws at your mind, though sometimes darkness can snuff out light.
-[Passive]: Reduce your Cognitive Save by Z(T), unless you are in a Legendary Form or Transcendent Enhancement with the God Ki Aspect.
-[Passive]: While you are suffering from the Compelled Combat Condition, increase your Combat Rolls by Z(T).
-[Triggered/Power, 1/Round]: Target the closest Character. You gain the Compelled Combat Condition with that Character as your target until the start of your next turn.
Scaling Darkness: The dark power flooding your body is unlike any other- it isn’t stagnant, that simply wouldn’t do- it grows, seemingly feeding on your own darkness to increase your strength.
-[Passive]: Increase the Natural Result of your Intimidation Skill Checks by Z.
-[Triggered/Start of Combat Encounter, Resource]: You begin every Combat Encounter with 0 stacks of Karmic Empowerment and Z Dark Ki Points (based on your stacks of Karmic Empowerment before this effect), meaning you do not benefit from the Attribute Modifier Bonus or any of the traits – except Scaling Darkness.
-[Triggered/Power]: You can spend any amount of Dark Ki Points to gain an equal number of stacks of Karmic Empowerment for the remainder of this Combat Encounter.
-[Automatic]: If you are given the Compelled Combat Condition by the Mind Control Unique Ability, you turn all Dark Ki Points into stacks of Karmic Empowerment as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver.
Flavor of Evil: Your body is filled with an ostensibly evil power- radiating with it even- and sometimes it’s too much to keep it caged inside.
-[Passive]: Reduce the Stress Test Requirement for Evil Aura by Z.
-[Passive]: While you are using the Evil Aura Transformation in conjunction with a Transformation that possesses the God Ki Aspect, you can benefit from an additional stack of Karmic Empowerment (this stack can exceed the limit).
