##Becoming a Monster
This technique allows one to copy the being of a monster, gaining similar power to those who have Inherited Wisdom. Although the strength, defense, and speed of the monstrous forms are not on par with Attack, Barrier, and Footwork techniques, they are greater than baseline, and each form contains a unique ability based on the monster it was derived from.
The ability works by undergoing a lengthy ritual, where the user etches the essence of a deceased being into their soul. They lock the form to one of the Gifts, which only differ in name. This ability is not limited to mindless beasts: a user could kill and steal the Bloodline ability of a Cultivator, and etching that essence onto a Gift. The user may only have four Gifts at a time, and excessive damage dealt to a Gift will result in its destruction. Finally, with Second Style, the user could use two Gifts simultaneously, gaining the unique ability of each one.
