About this mod
A martial arts moveset fit for a Carian devotee, combine flames and carian magics and launch spells using martial forms rather than relying on catalysts and staves. Based on the movesets of the sword of night and flame, and Rellana's twin blades, weave punches, and magics effortlessly. Maybe balanced, kinda lore-friendly.

A deep blue glintstone embedded within a steel guantlet,
Carian knights who trained under the twin moon learned to blend the arts of the lands of shadow with the sorceries of the lunar queen.
A split scaling (oof) Faith and Intelligence martial arts moveset, using scrappy boxer moves, unlocking the full potential
of this weapon requires two-handing it, allowing the user to utilise moon sorceries and giantsflame incantations with every punch.
While Two-handing every punch launches a small range projectile attack based on the element cast
similar to the Shadow of the Erdtree Dryleaf arts heavy attacks.
Fully functional with all Sorcery - Incantation boosting talismans.
Requirements: Str: 12, Dex: 14, Int: 21, Fth: 21
Unique Skill: Moon-and-Fire Stance
Assume ready stance, Fists imbued with magic. Follow up with normal attack to cast glintstone light waves, or strong attack to perform a spinning attack that bathes the area with flame. Light waves can have up to two follow-up casts with additional inputs.
Shamelessly this is the Rellana twin blade AOW, with adjusted animations for a hand-to-hand weapon.
Unique Defensive Skill: Carian Parry (L1 + R1)
Strike both hands together initiating a magical spark that can deflect sorceries, and parry physical attacks.
The timing on this is a bit generous at the moment,
I would appreciate any feedback on balancing.
Functional with Deflect Tear.
Heavy Attacks
both attacks are cancelable midway through their charges into a backstep-like attack,
for when those annoying dogs rush you when you're charging.
The flaming and magical projectiles extend the attack distance
Two-handing Heavies
both attacks can be cancelled into faster casting but less damaging variants
Running Heavy
Spirit bomb a moon onto your enemies, because I should be allowed one flashy move at the very least
AOW light attacks
3-attack combo, the heavy variant is a secret for now, because the full gif was too big for the file limit
This mod was made to be highly mergeable and lightweight, because I know you're probably using a cool modpack with this.
Merge Tae 921
as well as all extra animations in the other anibnd file.
search the regulation.bin for [ Fist of moon and flame ] for all relevant entries.
The weapon is obtained from the same chest as the sword of night and flame in Caria Manor,
or you can pick the secret Carian Pugilist starting class from the 2nd selection menu during character creation.
I've also optional files for merging
Update: The weapon can be purchased from Blacksmith Iji in the main version of the mod
