Bridge
Bridges have, of course, tremendous symbolic significance: they link what is otherwise disparate, allow passage over difficulty, and so on. Many aspects of this significance are utilized in actualizing this form, which opens various martial potentialities within oneself. The bridge serves as a passageway over the troubled waters of combat, or as a pass through an enemy's defenses. And, as one improves one's facility with this form, one can acquire procedural knowledge of specific combat maneuvers that serve as transitional bridges in martial locomotion. One can become quite fluid and versatile in combat in this way. This form affords the primary mode of self-defense for the majority of Aligned, and many Aligned become quite proficient martial artists solely to gain more fluency with this form. The discipline of martial arts gives the title of "art" some warrant, further motivating its study among the Aligned. (Other Aligned eschew this sort of combat altogether, relying on the clever use of other forms when self-defense is needed.) Maintaining this knowlege within oneself is a drain on one's reserves of order energy. One can release the form by the same process that one actualizes it.
