    Storm Soul (Boost)
    Level: 1
    Initiation Action: 1 swift action
    Range: Personal
    Target: You
    Duration: End of turn

    The air is whipped into swirling torrents in your wake as you forge ahead with the speed of a hurricane.

    You move as the wind, moving with unnatural grace as you bound across the battlefield. Until the end of your turn, you gain a +30-foot enhancement bonus to your land speed.


    Roaring Wind
    Storm Soul (Stance)
    Level: 1
    Initiation Action: 1 swift action
    Range: Personal
    Duration: Stance

    With a whirling of charged air and torrents of wind, you seem to be everywhere, not letting your foe's rest for even a moment.

    At the end of your turn every round, you select a number of squares within your threatened area equal to your Wisdom modifier. You are considered occupying these squares for the purposes of flanking, even if they are currently occupied by other creatures or objects. You cannot flank with yourself using this stance.


    Thunderbolt
    Storm Soul (Strike)
    Level: 1
    Initiation Action: 1 standard action
    Range: Melee Attack
    Target: One creature

    The smell of ozone fills the air, and with the force of a cannon, you unleash an ultra-charged bolt of pure electrical energy through your blade.

    As part of initiating this strike, you make a single melee attack. This attack deals an extra +1 per initiator level points of electricity damage and gains a bonus on the attack roll equal to your Wisdom modifier.

    Arc of Lightning
    Storm Soul (Strike)
    Level: 2
    Initiation Action: 1 standard action
    Range: Melee Attack
    Target: One creature

    White light fills the air, and static electricity ripples out away from you. Then, in a flash of blinding energy, a snaking line of lightning smashes into your foe.

    As part of initiating this strike, you make a single melee attack. Your reach for this attack (but no other attacks in the round) is increased by 10 feet, and deals electricity damage equal to the attacks normal melee damage. You still gain all the normal benefits from a high Strength score, feats, and other effects that increase your melee damage. For example, an attack with a greatsword that normally deals 2d6+3 points of slashing damage would instead deal 2d6+3 points of electricity damage. You otherwise attack with your weapon as normal.

    This maneuver is a supernatural ability.


    Flowing Rain
    Storm Soul (Counter)
    Level: 2
    Initiation Action: 1 immediate action
    Range: Personal
    Target: You

    With the uncatchability of mist, you slip away out of impending doom.

    If your opponent strikes you on his turn, you can replace your AC with the result of a Concentration check as an immediate action. You must decide whether to initiate this maneuver before you know the result of your opponent’s attack (but after the attack is declared). Your Concentration check applies to only one attack. You must be aware of the attack to which you will apply the effect of this maneuver.


    Gale Burst
    Storm Soul (Strike)
    Level: 2
    Initiation Action: 1 standard action
    Range: Melee Attack
    Target: One creature

    With the inplacable flow of a flood crashing down on a small village, you drive two weapons home with inexorable force.

    You must fight with two weapons to use this maneuver. You attempt a Concentration check as part of this maneuver, using the highest AC you are attacking, as the DC of the check. You then make an attack with both weapons you wield against any target in your range. These attacks need not target the same creature, and you take a –2 penalty on each attack roll. These attacks are also part of this maneuver. If your Concentration check succeeds then each attack deals +1d6 sonic damage (+2d6 sonic damage total if both attacks hit). If your check fails, then both attack rolls suffer a -4 penalty instead of a -2 penalty, and both deal normal damage.

    Initiation Action: 1 immediate action
    Range: Personal
    Target: You

    You slip from the clutches of an enemy like a drop of rain from the sky, streaking to places that he cannot reach.

    If your opponent strikes you on his turn, you can replace your AC with the result of a Concentration check, and move up to 10 feet in a straight line in any direction, as an immediate action. You must decide whether to initiate this maneuver before you know the result of your opponent’s attack (but after the attack is declared) and you move after the attack has been made, and still move, even if the attack hits. Your Concentration check applies to the initial attack, and any attacks made against you while you move. Movement made with this maneuver does not provoke attacks of oppurtunity. You must be aware of the inital attack to which you will apply the effect of this maneuver.

    Duration: Stance

    You close off your mind from the rest of the world, turning it inward, while you surge forward, ripping through the air as you move, and feeling every fleck of water in the air, every slight motion of your foes, from the deep calm of the center of your mind.

    Trying to catch you is like trying to catch a flood, as you pour away from the grip of your foes, slipping beyond their faltering reach.

    Little shards of metal on the ground slowly begin to float as you soak existance with oceans of static electricity, and a hiss of power beyond question flits through the world.

    Storm Soul (Stance)
    Level: 6

    Initiation Action: 1 swift action
    Range: Personal
    Duration: Stance

    The air twists out away from you in dizzying patterns as you move, and reaches out to brush against your friends, telling them of where you are, guiding their actions as you all roar forward, into the thick of battle.

    When you enter this stance, you may select up to nine allies who are within 50 feet of you. While you are in this stance, you, and everyone who you selected when you entered into this stance, are in constant communication, as the air itself allows you all to feel each others movements, and hear each others thoughts. If one of you is able to see something, then all of you are able to see it, rendering you all immune to blindness as long as one of you is not blinded, and is able to see the feild of battle. No one linked by this stance can be flanked or caught flatfooted unless everyone linked by this stance is flanked, or caught flatfooted, respectively. If a character who is linked by this stance is deafened or finds themselves more than 50 feet away from you, then they are severed from the connection, and no longer gain any benefits from it.
