Path of the Stellar Spear (Jai Long)

From Abidan Archive Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Forced to absorb a Remnant from a warped Path of the Stellar Spear, Jai Long does not possess the orthodox Goldsign of this clan, instead his face is twisted with lips stretched inhumanly wide in a smile that stretched all the way back to his ears, and a mouth full of fangs.

By absorbing an "unnatural" Remnant, Jai Long gained the ability to imbue forged madra with temporary life, something that's considered an advanced technique, far beyond him. This manifests as snakes of light that can attack independently of Jai Long.

Techniques:

  • Striker:
    • Star Lance:
      • Launches a bright blast of light and sword madra from the tip of a spear.
  • Enforcer:
    • Flowing Starlight:
      • The user circulates Stellar Spear madra, and a bright twisting patterns cover the user's skin, enhancing their movement speed and perception.

"He cycled his madra according to another technique: Flowing Starlight. This was an orthodox Stellar Spear technique, which his Remnant had left largely unaffected. The Jai clan won their duels through superior speed. The light-aspect madra circled through his channels faster and faster. Lines of white light slid out from his stomach, covering his skin in glowing, serpentine lines, marking the progress of Flowing Starlight. They looped around his shoulders, spilling up his arms and down his legs."[1]

  • Enforcer (Weapon)
    • Star's Edge:
      • The user enforces their weapon, and a bright pattern covers the weapon. This results in "deadly star" at the end of his spear.
  • Ruler:
    • No known techniques, No combat ruler techniques exist
  • Forger:
    • Jai Long is able to forge living snakes of light and spear madra than can attack as well as defend. Touching these snakes can cause serious cuts.

"His spearhead trailed ribbons of white light as it spun, and those ribbons came to life, slithering through the air with a will of their own. The Forged snakes raised their heads and hissed, coiling themselves between him and the incoming techniques. Such was the gift his Remnant had left him."[1]

Cycling Techniques:

  • No specific techniques known

Iron Body:

  • Stellar Spear Iron Body
    • The Iron Body is designed to help the body cope with the speed provided by the Path of the Stellar Spear. Jai Long was forced to undergo a ritual that blistered all the skin on his body, broke most of his bones, and kept him in bed for three months afterwards to obtain his Iron Body.[2]

Weapons/Tools:

  • Ancestors Spear
    • Though not directly linked to the Path of the Stellar Spear, the Ancestor's Spear was said to have been wielded by the original matriarch of the Jai Clan, the aforementioned 'Ancestor' in the name Ancestor's Spear. It is highly sought after by the Jai clan and is wielded by Jai Long from the end of Soulsmith until it is taken by Jai Daishou in Blackflame. Jai Daishou loses this original spear but obtains a replacement from the Labyrinth. This spear is destroyed in Skysworn during Lindon's duel with Jai Long.
