With the previous day gone and his mind still weary from it's hectic events Raven lays beneath his cover with the book he'd found on his journey to find Ethan in hand. With Silver having figured the fist section of the books written text a Greek/Hebrew derivative of miss-matched words Raven had painstakingly spent over seven hours deciphering it, now done with his work and very much eager to read he turned the first page.
KINETIC SHIFTING
STAGES AND SUB STAGES.
The sub stages apply for all stages
(Slight differences might apply)
STAGES
Muscle Shifting
First gaining through hard training superhuman control over the muscles then contorting the muscles and the Force held in them to perform super human feats at the high cost if stamina
Innate
This is the instantaneous use or burst of energy by compressing all the strength from the body into a single are of the body to achieve either defense or offense then gathering all the Force present in an area of the body into that single area.
Flow
flow focuses on allowing force to permeate the body there-by increasing overall density.
Compression
the compression sub stage force is stacked up in the body until it is forced to morph or adapt due to strain.
Breath control
(Heat shifters)
By heating up the body the by rapidly accelerating the heart through muscle control, increased blood flow and muscle expansion is possible, the steam held within the body allows it to mimic a living pressure pot allowing for more power the more pressure/strain is withstood
Innate
A Shifter of this substage is capable of heating the body thereby tensing and straining the muscles to increase strength durability and constitution
Flow
Shifters of this substage are capable of isolation heat at various parts of their bodies concentrating Force there thereby slowly converting heat to Force and Force to steam
Compression
Shifters of this substage is capable of compressing force 'steam' in their bodies thereby increasing circulation, capacity, strength, constitution, reflex and reaction time.
Bone control
Having full control over the shaping, (elongation, reduction or out right re-shaping or growth of new bones to achieve certain objectives) this stage allows the body to handle more strain/pressure from breath control while providing and increase in both offensive and defensive abilities
Innate
At this substage one is able to shift and strengthen their existing bones to increase all body functions
Flow
At this substage one is able to morph bones into a liquid like substance
Compression
At this substage one is capable of creating fresh bones inside their bodies
ATTUNEMENT
Martial masters of any level are capable of performing body techniques called "FORCE ARTS" to varying levels by manipulating the force held in their bodies either inwards or outwards, once mastery over all three kinds of Force arts and in some cases auxiliary techniques in their repertoire are mastered and refined they will begin on the task of combining all learnt Force arts into a single continuous technique that encompasses and exceeds even the explicable sum of the whole, this singular Force art unique to every Shifter either talented, skilled or lucky enough to achieve it is called ZONE
ZONE
Here one has begun the first step towards Brain shifting by attaining a higher level of advancement, Creating their 'ZONE', achieving the creation of this technique signifies a Shifter's true beginning in their accession from mortal confines.

Black sclera, black iris and white pupils.
~One who is one with himself~
A certain foolish researcher.
those who have attained attunement and are pushing for something more, something far from human.
Full zone
Black sclera, black iris and black pupils
~one who is one with his ideal~
A certain foolish researcher.
when one has pushed their techniques to the point of supernatural prowess then they have begun their journey into the realm of Gods.
Perfect zone
Black sclera, white iris and colored pupils
~one who is one with his existence~
A certain foolish researcher
when one's technique are kept constantly active and a Force vortex is created within them they have truly become a god among peasants.
Force art
~There are limitless possibilities with each force art. There is no fixed form but rather fixed ideology.
The three ideologies once existed separate, since, the standardisation of the arts has been achieved.
The Striker
The Enforcer
The Defence
Each of these techniques meaning different things at different and bringing different effects at different stages. at every stage of the K shift arts each martial artist must improve their arts.
The Striker.
A technique that allows it's user exponential increase in attacks. the concentration of force in an area used for attack and it's release or increase in force upon attack.
The Enforcer
A technique with varied versatility, a technique that enhances physical abilities in for an extended time beyond a short burst. A real martial artist must constantly maintain the circulation of force for defense especially incase of ambushes, increased senses to be constantly alert, increased mobility, increased stamina strength and constant push for advancement, one without a technique such as this that runs Force through their bodies even in sleep is no true martial artist.
The Defense
A technique specialized in defending one's self, a technique used to oppose all attacks to the body or area, insanely difficult to master due to artist versatility in attacks, The Defense technique is at a constant shift around the body similar to that of the Enforcer, only few have truly mastered them and are with talent enough to keep it active at all times.
Auxiliary techniques
~These techniques are more boundless than the oceans seas, existing for many purposes, some for things as trivial as eating, others as important as stealth, absence from one of the three main techniques qualifies a technique as an Auxiliary.~
A certain foolish researcher.
Mastery over all these will gain one the Master technique titled, 'ATTUNEMENT'
FORCE
~What actually is force? I've pondered this question endlessly, conducted countless amounts of research, and every time i've come to one simple conclusion, GRAVITY, all it's characteristics fit, the exponentially increase in strength, the constant pressure on the body to cause rapid metabolism and evolution, the healing factor as a result of strain on the body to work harder faster and better, Martial artists are simply those whose brain stems and cerebellum have been forced to first perceive the gravitational pull on every object at the early stages of Shifting then eventually slowly through the aid of advancement acquire the ability to manipulate the earth's gravitational pull to affect their bodies and eventually their surroundings, how they've achieved this change and what exactly this change is i have yet to understand, but this thing called force is simply one thing, GRAVITY!.~
A certain foolish researcher.
(COLD SHIFTERS)
?????????
(Brain shifters)
?????????
(Force Vortex)
?????????
(PERFECT SHIFTER)
?????????
~What is this being known as the perfect shifter?, I've theorised that it is a shifter who has successfully balanced both the way of Cold Shifting and Heat Shifting, though they may be more to the equation~
A certain foolish researcher
Though think of the brain of a separate sentient entity or an evaluating AI, every stage or sub stage achieved is another positive on your ultimate approval rating, and by undoing it's locks it grants you its powers, control.
"well that was quite informative"
{As will the rest once we can decipher it that is},
"did you know all this?" Raven inquires of Silver,
{more or less, though i must admit, it's broken down into a ridiculous level of detail, I'd someday hope to meet this Certain 'foolish' researcher}, he muses.
