I am aware of a bug with bestowal lasting longer than it should.  Also looking forward to reading all the feedback in the comment section.





































Other Changes


Gokan’s Spiritfall

- Unlock the secrets of Senpou’s calligraphy and paint the landscape with your enemies’ blood. 
- Conquer suffering, attain Nirvana.

-There is a bug where you cannot kill blow bosses in this mode, I don't think there is a fix for it.
 
Notes: Might be too restrictive (Cannot use items and cannot resurrect).  I need more ideas that can fit into the monk theme, maybe you can help?  However, it can be a good tool for ppl trying to farm up quickly.

Ungo’s Sugar

- Easy without being too easy mode – Slow HP regeneration below 50% health; 10% reduced fire damage above 50% health. 
 
Five Colored Rice

- Your Katana switches between colors like a gaming mouse.
 
Minor changes:


Fistful of Ash – Vanish into a pitiful small cloud of dust
Oil – Toss a Molotov at your enemies
 
Sabimaru, Shuriken, and Umbrella (1st Tier of all 3) no longer cost spirit emblem to use. 
Sabimaru = less posture damage
Umbrella = less blocking angle (from 180 to 90)
Shuriken = Already weak enough.   
 
Incomplete:

 
Yashi Spiritfall
- My dream mode which is still far from finished.  Hopefully will allow players to play the game without any HUD and healing.  Just pure sword to sword combat.





Additional notes: 
Mortled Purple Gourd
- Although steel may have a hard time penetrating a ghost, a well-placed attack can bring down a demon.  Thrust attacks now one-shots you. 
- Also serves as a replacement for divine confetti. 

Notes: Terror bar keeps going up and the only way to slow it down is by killing enemies.  Also killing enemies heal you by a lot and should give you Bestowal Ninjitsu buff for 3 seconds,  so you should not have to worry about healing. (need to have Breath of Life: Light talented)
                This mode is really thrilling to play, I love it much more than I expected.  


RED GOURD
- Hesitation is defeat. Relentless follow-up attacks deal greater fire damage. (10x)
- Fueled by fire, you and your enemies do not back down easily! (Posture is removed from combat)
- Although almost all of your first attacks deal no damage, thrust deals double to encourage planned steel-to-flesh action.
 
Note: This gourgd takes away the posture aspect of the game and makes it more about taking advantages of opening than deflecting.

GREEN GOURD
- Coat your blade with lethal poisons: berserking and exhausting. 
                -Exhausting: You and your enemy’s stamina regenerate slower.
                -Berserking: At below 40% health, you and your enemy’s attacks become much stronger.
                -Lethal: The poisons will eventually kill your enemies and will greatly harm you. 
 
Note: Still need balancing, but I want it to be opposite of fire Gourgd’s.  The goal is for you to focus on the enemy’s posture and correct
deflecting rather than seeking an opening.   BE CAREFUL: BERSERK ENEMY ONE-SHOTS YOUR POSTURE UNLESS DEFLECTED
