Attacks

Attacks follow standard mechanics when determining attack and damage ratings with the addition of adding part of your Telesma to their damage rating. You can still use your attacks if your familiar is dead or not in the room.

• Gains "Thera" attack at around very frail. "Strike at an opponent with the edge of one's hand bringing with it flame."
  • Reportedly provides a temporary CHA and water resistance boost
• Gains "Lowber" attack at around fairly healthy. " Thrust one's palm into one's opponent, channeling planar energies captures by previous six attacks -- if executed in the right combination -- into an explosion." K-K-K-K-K-K-KOMBO BREAKER!!!

• Gained "Ladu" attack at around robust. "Strike at an opponent with the front of one's fist as the very earth."

• Gained "Greetho" attack at around early very deep. " Kick at an opponent with the edge of one's toes carrying with them the wind."

• Gained "Dolimi" attack at late intimate. "Kick at an opponent with one's knee, swift and energized."

• Gained "Skei" attack at complete. "Kick at an opponent with the heel of one's foot crashing down like a wave."

Amalgam Combinations

Shlyma consorts get bond attacks for every basic element (fire, earth, air, water) and the two pole elements (entropy and extropy). Using these attacks in combinations of six and ending with the lowber attack causes an area attack for the amalgam that would be created from your combination. You may also use an element or one of the two poles individually six times before lowber to create an area attack of the base element. Here's a list of combinations for ease of use - Telurel, January 2, 2014:

• Fire + Earth = Magma
• Fire + Air = Smoke
• Earth + Water = Mud
• Air + Water = Mist
• Earth + Extropy = Crystal
• Earth + Entropy = Eskara
• Fire + Extropy = Light
• Fire + Entropy = Darkness
• Air + Extropy = Lightning
• Air + Entropy = Void
• Water + Extropy = Ooze
• Water + Entropy = Salt
• Fire + Earth + Entropy = Ash
• Fire + Earth + Extropy = Metal
• Fire + Air + Entropy = Cold
• Fire + Air + Extropy = Heat
• Air + Water + Extropy = Thunder
• Air + Water + Entropy = Ice
• Water + Earth + Extropy = Acid
• Water + Earth + Entropy = Alkali
• Water + Earth + Fire + Air + Extropy + Entropy = Shadow
