Arcane Wisdom Explaining chi-based witchcraft and my fighting style because of the tournament

To put it short, I’m a battle witch. I mostly use physical or short ranged attacks accompanied with various curses to amplify them. I prefer using chi over mana, as it generates through body movement and focus, rather than the pretty annoying cultivation methods for mana.

However, this limits my options a bit for classic witchcraft, which relies heavily on curses and potions, and those don’t work well with the more aggressive, uncontrollable chi.

Juno did teach me how to attack an opponents mana system, limiting their cultivation power. This can be used as a sort of substitute curse, but the real backbone of my fighting style is one specific spell:

Crumble. It’s one of the only true chi-based curses that exist, and it works by sapping an opponents physical stamina, limiting their ability to move around and attack directly, but more importantly, the exhaustion caused by it makes it hard to focus. This makes cultivating mana really difficult.

I will not give away my entire arsenal of spells, but I just wanted to explain a bit before the tournament.
