Martial Arts

武技 · Magic & Power Systems · Levels & Classes

Original skills used by the New World's warriors, absent from YGGDRASIL; they could be called "warriors' magic."

Human species, demi-humans and heteromorphs can all learn them, mainly through warrior-type classes; they can enhance physical abilities or add attributes to attacks
Activating a martial art consumes a corresponding amount of "concentration"; Gazef, the strongest warrior of the neighboring nations, can normally use up to 6 martial arts at once
Powerful martial arts like 〈Sixfold Slash of Light〉 consume the concentration of three martial arts and strain the body
Acquisition conditions are unknown: some learn from others (Hamsuke), others create their own through training (Brain)
Zenberu says it normally takes a year to learn one martial art
There is so far no record of a player or NPC learning a martial art
In the Web novel martial arts were named in English katakana; in the light novel all were renamed with names of several kanji
Locals can learn both martial arts and YGGDRASIL's special techniques (skills)
Martial arts that send out flying slashes are weaker than direct slashes (Vol. 16); Gazef can normally use up to 6 at once, 7 with the dragon-treasure ring (Vol. 1)
For the list of martial arts and compound martial arts (Brain's "Secret Sword: Tiger Drop Whistle," "Strongest Secret Sword: Nail Clipper," "True Nail Clipper," etc.), see the individual martial arts entries
