Deaf Style

OBTAINING DEAF STYLE
Deaf Style is obtained by traveling to the Waterfall of the Fallen Greed Warriors and speaking to the Sage of the Old Arts. The Sage will ask if the person if they value most. If they answer hearing and after listening to him detailing his life for 12 days straight and without falling asleep, the Sage will turn the listener deaf, and, through this process, will let the listener fully concentrate their strength into their Physical Ability.

ABILITIES OF DEAF STYLE
Deaf Style allows the user to entirely concentrate their strength into Physical Ability. The user will become entirely deaf (making them unable to feel Essence attacks), and will be able to manipulate the terrain in subtle ways and, through tough training, even create Weak Matter.

After reaching a certain level of mastery in this Style (around 1 year of training), the user will obtain weak Essence Sense that indicates the location of any Essence attack around them, though this ability is very weak and not that useful. This ability can be fine tuned through repeated usage. The user may also be able to create Basic Matter if powerful enough. The terrain changes can now be felt by people in their range.

At around 3 years of training, the user will have fully controlled their Essence Sense and be able to sense nearby Essence attacks, though very lightly. Pure Matter can be created and the terrain can be formed in drastic ways to help in combat. Increased Essence is obtained and the user will have increased magic speed and Essence Cap.

Slight changes in abilities may be felt, though the next 4-7 years of training will have no major ability change.

When the user has mastered Deaf Style, they will feel as if they could hear and feel Essence again. However, this is just the Essence Sense at its peak level. The user can now completely change the terrain, going up to changing its composition. New Matter can now be created and the user will be challenged to a fight with the Sage of the Old Arts himself.

OBTAINING 3-SENSOR DEAF BOW
When the user has fully mastered Deaf Style, the Sage of the Old Arts himself will challenge them to a 1-on-1 fight. If they defeat the Sage, he will grant them the 3-Sensor Deaf Bow, a bow able to turn the person who took the hit deaf. If the person is killed and has any Bloodline Ear Trait, the user of Deaf Style will have the choice to equip it onto one of the bow's 3 sensors. The bow will then be able to replicate the ability of Ear Trait.
