Air Chakra (4th)
Of the four elemental chakras, Air effects the user’s physical body more than any other three. Even novice Air Chakra users can glide and travel on air currents, but masters are said to be able to turn their bodies into the wind and travel anywhere in the world. While the users of the Air Chakra are peaceful and relaxed their anger is something to be feared.
Manipulation of Air:
Manipulating Air is the first lesson an Air Elemental learns. They learn by cycling air around them. Their first lesson is a large gust capable of blowing branches of the trees, but little else. By years end those same students will be able to direct wind with the ability to cut threw branches while never disturbing the rest of the tree. The point of those first lessons is to teach the students control over the element. As the Air Elementals continue their work, they will eventually be able to call forth hurricanes with their raw power and direct it with pinpoint accuracy.
As the Air Chakra matures the user will also learn to blast air using tools within their hand. Staffs are common, but blades are also used by Air Elementals. The range of these weapons is greatly increased using the chakra. While longer weapons are considered better for manipulating air, short-ranged stabbing weapons like the emei piercers could use the chakra to enter the body and explode forward piercing through to the other side of the victim.
The Air Chakra’s effect on the body:
Air Elementals can study and use the Air Chakra for external use only, but it is rare. Much of chakra true potential lies within its effect on the user. Warriors use the Air Chakra to jump incredible heights and move faster than most warriors ever could. This is a risk for them as the speed increase normally forces them to go without other things like heavier plate armor.
Any warrior that uses the Air Chakra normally engages it constantly. This does several things. A fully trained chakra can expand the warrior’s senses to allow them to feel what the wind feels. This can give any warrior a full 360-degree field of vision.
As with many of the environmental chakras as you gain mastery over it you become more and more one with the element. This is true more for air than for the other three. As you gain mastery over the Air Chakra you will become lighter and lighter. Those on the road of mastery wear weighted clothing to keep themselves from floating away. Eventually, a master in the Air Chakra will be able to control their transformations turning to air when needed and turning back when not needed.
Of the four base elemental chakras. Air has a power all its own. Its fury can create tornados to rip apart cities, its calm can send a user into the air. Only a fool underestimate an Air Elemental.
