Dark Strike {V3}

Dark Strike V3, or the third version of Dark Strike is similar to the second version, but with emphasis put on the total control system of the user's aura, allowing the aura to enter and exit from passive/active mode. By this, the implications mean that after a single strike from light-speed warped space, the wielder can suddenly exit from their high speed warping aura, entering normal space again, and doing so while the aura is not wasted, instead placed into a passive state. In this passive state, the wielder can suddenly and freely invoke more magic or attack in additional moves as normally. When ready, that wielder can then take the passive aura and place it into active state again, meaning they continue the Dark Strike where they left off before. This passive/active switching can happen multiple times, and is the primary difference between version 2 and version three of the Dark Strike skill. Doing so enables the wielder to inflict additional damage or execute additional attacks just after a phasic strike (which interrupts their foe) by means of preventing being attacked themselves. Doing this incurs total effect time of the partially free-form variation of this skill, but not in a way that should matter. This passive/active shifting is very hard to master, and cannot work forever when being used.

Discovery

The third version of Dark Strike is an unofficial ability, meaning it does not yet exist in the most recently published editions of the magical spell books for the top mages. While this ability requires an enormous amount of unwavering concentration all the way through, there isn't any particular constraint preventing other wielders from learning this difficult spell. However, as far as most in Sprawn Valley know, Jane Venn was the first person to demonstrate this power and its full advantages.
