Void Soul Imaging
"Tut-tut, always so quiet little one. Has the grub got your tongue? Or maybe you have nothing to say? Hahaha, calm yourself for I jest, I jest, Little Ghost. Here, try doing... this instead."
- Unknown inhabitant of Hallownest's Soul Sanctum
Cost: 0 OM (is purely a fluff move)
Requires: Teachings on the properties of Void & Soul by Little Ghost or any of his appropriate secondaries.
Little Ghost is mute. No matter how hard he tries he can utter no sound beyond the creak of exerted joints or the clack and tap of carapace upon carapace. This, the shaping of blackest ink of void and whitest glow of soul into various black and white images, texts, or other symbols, was taught to him by a sympathetic bug in the Soul Sanctum. Little Ghost only remembers the bug to be of about his height except for the massive white crown of horns...
Grandmaster's Lesson: Perfect Parry
"To wield a Nail is to take your instincts and cut down all obstacles before you. To master a Nail is to take that instinct and utterly break it before reforging it into something else entirely. None of my other students could grasp this fully, perhaps you will be the one?"
- Sly of Dirtmouth, Shopkeeper and Nail Grandmaster
Cost: 300 OM
Requirements: Physical Strength Proficiency, Burst Movement, The Pure Nail
To wield a Nail is to be one with it. To hone it is to sharpen oneself. Raising your Nail to the highest of purity equally raises the core of yourself and thus you attain the first enlightenment of war, that that to Block is to Cut. By combining the quick acceleration inherent in an insectoid frame, a Burst Movement pounds out this technique to block an attack.
Superior skill and reflexes pay a significant role here, allowing one to unleash a slash, stab, cut, or hack timed to negate an incoming attack by striking its very concept out of its path, or splitting it down the middle, to create a 3 by 2 feet safe space 'screen' to hide behind for a couple of seconds. Regarding projectiles striking this 'screen' of conceptual parrying, the first (and then about one in five) to strike it would ricochet back along a natural path. A difficult and demanding technique, using it in quick succession is apt cause great fatigue.
Due to how Perfect Parry is performed, Little Ghost might be able to strike at his enemy if he parries while they are in reach of his Nail.
Monarch Wings
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]"Wings of ethereal matter that shimmer in the air, what a lovely sight."
- Unknown
Cost: 300 OM
Requirements: Super Jumping Advanced, Burst Movement
A pair of ethereal wings that glow with a soothing pale light while in use, these wings allow you to control your movements in mid air with short hops so long as the total upward movement in your hops does not exceed the maximum altitude as given by your flight/jumping power and any limits or boosts imposed upon it.
With this you can use Burst Movement in direction, should you somehow be prevented from doing so, provided that you are not being physically held and kept still.

"So you'd pursue the deeper truth? It isn't one the weak could bear."
"Prove yourself ready to face it. I'll not hold back. My needle is lethal and I'd feel no sadness in a weakling's demise."
"Show me you can accept this Kingdom's past and claim responsibility for its future."
