Green Tea Style
Quote:Developed by the Heart Empire to showcase the balance of yin and yang energies, this unique style is used by Heart Empire samurai who are often more martially focused, but do casting for support. Some choose to use it to support their allies from the background, while others use it to keep an ongoing onslaught of martial prowess backed by defensive or offensive casting. The jutsu often make use of liquid tea, though some practitioners may make use of tea leaves or plants to perform a variety of effects. Maccha has a refreshing effect. This means that maccha jutsu passively increase the bodies natural regenerative capabilities, making it heal faster than it normally would. Upon cast, the caster will grant either themselves or an ally up to [control] meters away this increased regeneration for [control/10] posts, giving them Enhanced Stamina Regeneration if they do not already have it, or increasing the speed of their regeneration by one post if they already have regeneration from another source.Maccha Affinity
