Welcome to Gaia! ::

Direct Character Upgrade (/Enhance Current Power?):

Better endurance while using Psychic Powers. By this point in the tournament Pip will have been learning more and more how to use his powers. Before this he hadn't had so much opportunity to do so as he had in this tournament. By this point, his mental capacities (at least in the psychic regard; he would still be slow, and mentally unstable) would have increased in such a way that Pip would be able to draw up his energies faster (slower download time on mental .jpgs). He had never really been in trouble before in the tournament, but he had been getting quite a bit of practice in getting energy ready to use quickly.

On that same note, if Pip is maintaining a specific use of his powers, and said use requires a great deal of said powers, it would be much easier to draw forth more energy -quicker- to put towards this specific ability. Ex: On top of a cliff (since it's been done, I assume that we won't see it again), Pip begins to pull on his opponent with psychic hands, looking to throw him over a cliff. Lots of energy there, which can be replenished (and pushed towards the same goal) without letting go of the grips.

This faster drawing up of usable powers would have its own drawback, because the same body can only hold so much energy at once. If Pip should draw up too much energy and not use it, it would result in a mental attack on himself. Maintaining a psionic action while drawing up energy reinforcements for too long would result in the same problem. A headache, followed by a migraine, followed by a young boy rolling on the ground holding his head and crying madly.

Not to sound like a nerd, but think of it as mana burn, only taking as well as spanning longer then a "turn" (post).

Pro: Faster use, with continuous use available.
Con: Over-use ******** his temple with a rusty mental d**k.




God I hope this works and isn't too ******** grammerically.
Couldn't think of much else >.<

The thing is, being double headed doesn't give it an advantage really. If anything, it's a disadvantage because if either of the points are struck, the entire serpent regardless of shape or form is destroyed instantly- it doesn't just "double" things, and for that matter, doesn't double them at all.

It's furthermore less convenient in wielding, because Omi has to guide both ends, ergo doubling the number of fingers, limbs, what have you necessary to maneuver about a single serpent. I understand where you're coming from, but you have the premise down wrong - if anything, in conventional combat, it'd be a disadvantage like how you're picturing it, because it doesn't really add onto the total flame count [if anything, the amount spawned is split between the heads] but does double how vulnerable the serpent is.

Its uses are more nefarious. An example would be transferring a mass underground, or creating a serpent-pole. Possibly even creating little rings every now and again along the ground - the point being, there'll be fewer of these than the regular serpents assuredly. Just because they're of a different nature, doesn't mean they don't follow Omi's general stamina limitations - something I've proven to adhere to in the past, strictly.

Edits?

My match with Benjamin went to the "hazardous" spectrum for completely unrelated reasons. However, very well - I do see the flaw in the premise, I suppose I'll consider an alternate upgrade. Perhaps even delaying it 'til next round provided I make it there.

I know boy. Don't make me Pendulum Step.

Nevermind the eye reflexes then, how about just upgrading his hand speed, like say high Level2?

@Vash: How long does this ability last?

@We Came: Sounds better. Approved.

@Reach: Time response is better than charging faster. Approved.
