» Upgrading: Adding the following power:
Eyes of the King: By shrouding his eyes in reishi, Yaksha can force them to exude an invisible wavelength that causes massive breakdowns in the bodies of other targets if they make direct contact with his gaze. Even looking on the periphery is enough, meaning in a fight even a split second's attention causes the effects to either begin or worsen. Using translucent surfaces such as glass or ice to gaze upon him will slow the effect, but not end it entirely, while looking at him indirectly, as by a reflection, ignores the effect entirely. The damage dealt is based on the duration of exposure, and the comparative tiers of the targets.
- Damage Categories:
- Minor Damage: Caused by a single post of gazing for targets of equivalent tier, or two for targets of a higher tier, this effect causes mere nausea, and a faint sense of imbalance, akin to being slightly drunk. It has little impact on a target's ability to fight at this point.
Moderate Damage: Caused by a four posts of gazing from a target a tier above Yaksha, a single post of gazing for targets a full tier below Yaksha's, or two posts of gazing for targets of equivalent tier, this effect causes the target's joints to painfully swell, leaving both fine and gross motion to be difficult and unpleasant, as well as causing their vision to swim, making it hard to make out fine details. Yaksha himself is excluded in this effect, causing him alone to be seen in stark detail as the rest of the world fades to background.
Major Damage: Caused by eight posts of gazing for targets a tier above Yaksha, two posts of gazing for targets a full tier below Yaksha's, a single post of gazing for those three tiers below, or four posts of gazing for targets of an equivalent tier, this effect causes the targets to experience bleeding from their mucous membranes, most notably the eyes and ears. At this point, the target will begin to experience a rapid decline in blood pressure, along with constant twitches that make it hard to remain standing. Those especially unfortunate risk blindness at this level of damage.
Severe Damage: Caused by four posts of gazing for targets a full tier below Yaksha's, two posts from a target three tiers below Yaksha's, or eight from a target of equivalent tier, at this level the user's major organs risk total shutdown, and they enter grand mal seizures, as their own bodies are torn apart by the foreign substances that are introduced by Yaksha's gaze. At this point, only the most skilled of healers can save those who have stared upon Yaksha for too long, and even then they would have a long time of recovery before being battle ready again.
Yaksha can maintain this power for (3+number of tiers over 4) posts, before a two post cooldown is instituted. After this, he can use it for (2+number of tiers of 4) posts, and a three post cooldown is instituted. If he invokes it a third and final time in a thread, it lasts (1+number of tiers over 4) posts, and then cannot be invoked again that thread. Though the light exuded is invisible, the color of his eyes does change subtly while the reiatsu is focused there, and those well-suited to sensing the flow of energy will be able to detect the build-up there.
» Why: Yaksha has finally managed to find a new use of his powers, in the process of seeking greater enlightenment, and evolution.

» Extra: I enjoy writing crazy more than I really should.
The damage categories and the tier comparisons are very rough sketch for now, just wanted to show a rough scale of what to expect as to how slowly/quickly the power ramps up, and how long it would take to really become a game-changer in a fight.

[adm]I will hesitantly be approving this for now, as the limits and drawbacks seem to fit it currently.
If this is abused, it will be revoked.[/adm]
