Dance of Fire

By making one's ki burn like flames, a ki practitioner can push their body beyond its normal limits, the consuming power of flame coursing throughout their body and empowering each of their movements and strikes. However, while using ki this way, a practitioner cannot limit themself as they normally might, and giving their all to each motion risks means they risk burning through their stamina much more quickly than they normally might.

Activation: As a Movement and Support action, you may make a TN 2 Performance (Fire) check to empower your body with exceptional energy.

Enhancement Effect: If you succeed, this kihō activates. While this kihō is active, if you would fail a check, you must receive 2 fatigue to roll 1 additional and keep it. If this would not cause you to succeed, repeat this process until you succeed or become Incapacitated. After you become Incapacitated due to fatigue suffered this way, you gain the Exhausted condition (see page 272 of the core rulebook). If you already were suffering the Exhausted condition, you gain the Dying [3 rounds] condition instead.

Burst Effect: If you have 2 or more bonus successes, treat your focus as increased by your Fire ring and increase your initiative by the same amount. This effect persists for 1 round. When this effect would end, you may receive 2 fatigue; if you do, it persists for one additional round.
