Great Silence

The Great Silence is a mastery level 4 mystical air kiho that allows the monk to intermingle their chi with that of another, disrupting their ability to focus their thoughts. The kiho is one of the strangest known to the Brotherhood of Shinsei and subject to much debate. Some view it as a weapon against those who do not comprehend it, while others believe it a non-violent means of ending a conflict. The kiho requires eye contact, and if successful the target is struck mute lasting for several minutes. (3E p. 254)
