Additional Abilities

Swan familiars open and charge the Anahata chakra and Muladhara chakra periodically and provide a special sword attack which utilizes radiant energy.

Attack                     Activity Cost

Crescent                   8 (Based on your sword speed)     
Ray of Intense Light       15   
Solar Coil                 12 (Also based on your sword speed)
Stellar Twist              12 (Again, based on sword speed)
Final maneuver             ?? (specifics unknown)

The crescent attack is a photonic-based attack that adds light affinity , lumiturgy [[to its hit rating, also adds Telesmatic weapon and requires a normal-sized sword to use.

The ray of intense light attack is a photonic-based attack that bases its attack rating largely upon lumiturgy and light affinity.

Stellar Twist and Solar Coil are similar to crescent and use Light affinity, Lumiturgy, Telesmatic weapon and more. And are gained at near complete bond. Stellar Twist may only be used at night and Solar Coil during the day.
