Techniques

Attack anddefense manuevers that are stronger than normal mellee attacks, but take a lot of energy to use. Some have magical properties, but unlike true magic, don't require spells of large stores of magical energy. There are three catagories of techniques:

Blocking
A block technique or defensive types tend to use their skills to nullify opponents attacks and protect allies.

Magical
Not to be mistaken with spells, Magical techniques are specific attacks that are imbued with magical energy to add extra attack power, or abilities. A great example being McGregor's storm hammer.
