Dark Strike {V1}

The user has studied into a special attack that allows them to teleport right behind their opponent (using matter transference), confusing the foe by disappearing from their very eyes. And after reappearing, since the opponent is not expecting an attack from behind, the user continues the short-lived combination by slashing them with a melee weapon in the form of an uppercut, which launches them into the air. Though it is pure choice how to proceed, the user may also teleport away from their foe long before they hit the ground again. Much of this magic is used to specifically generate the kinetic energy needed in the aura of the weapon to launch the foe into the air.

Attack Type: Magical Slashing Damage
Glyphring: Generation Only

Manifestation

Generation glyphrings may be implemented into the beginning of this skill to generate the weapon specific to be used in the attack. Doing so will increase MP usage depending on the weapon type, though this will also increase invocation time. The wielder invoking this skill instantly warps to a different short-range location, targeting the area right behind the opponent. When the weapon is properly infused with the kinetic energy, the wielder performs an uppercut strike to launch that opponent into the air, only using a single strike.
