When in this mist the mist breather is able to conceal their movements with ease, granting them an additional +4 to stealth checks made while in the mist, having the additional effect of granting their attacks and breathing forms that use attack rolls advantage against targets that the mist breather started their turn at least 10ft away from as long as the mist breather started their turn in the mist, and their target is in the mist when they attack.

This unsheathing slash is rolled as a weapon attack with advantage and deals 1d12 + mist concealed strike damage + dexterity mod slashing damage, however if the user is already getting advantage from another source when they use this form, they will not only keep said advantage but the attack will deal 1d12+ dexterity mod+ wisdom mod slashing damage as opposed to what it would be if they had made the attack without an outside source of advantage.

The mist breather will instantaneously dash to the position within the mist where the attack occurred and attempt to intercept it, if the attack is a melee attack made with a weapon or part of the enemies body, the mist breather can make an attack against that weapon or body part in an attempt to break it or slash it off through a contested dexterity check. However, if the attack is a blood demon art or ranged attack the mist breather can instead attempt a block or repel standing in between the ally being attacked and the enemy attacking.
The mist thickens once more[edit]
You are closing in on becoming one with the mist and your conjured mist now covers a 45ft area. Additionally, the mist breather now gains a +6 to stealth checks while in this mist.
Sixth Form: Lunar Dispersing Mist[edit]
The user performs a short leap before dispersing several ranged slashes towards a target up to 15ft away, there are three slashes and each can be aimed at a different target or all at the same target.

A successful save results in half damage. Using this form expends the mist breather’s main action, as well as three breathing points.
Seventh Form: Tears of the new dawn, Concealed Pierce[edit]
The mist breather charges up to half of the user's total movement forward being pushed by the mist behind them, with their weapon held in front of them making a piercing basic weapon attack, if this attack lands the victim is impaled creating a burst of mist exploding from their weapon dealing an additional 5d6 force damage on top of the normal weapon damage dealt by the initial pierce. As the mist breather presses their blade into the victim they are able to push the victim a distance equal to the remaining half of the mist breather's movement. If the victim is pushed into a pierceable object or structure they will be pinned to it and be forced to make a contested grapple check to free themself, failing this contest results in the user being able to replicate the burst of mist that occurred after the initial pierce doing an additional 5d6 force damage. This form can only be used while in mist. Using this form expends the most breather’s main action, as well as four breathing points.
Mist Transportation[edit]

Eighth Form: Heavy Mist, Perfected Haze[edit]
As a reaction to an attack being made by an enemy within the mist breather's mist, against the mist breather while they are in the mist, the user is able to perform an instantaneous counter attack appearing behind their attacker and making a normal attack (do not add mist concealed strike) that deals an additional 3d6 slashing damage as the mist around the victim strikes with the blade. If this attack lands the damage suffered by the mist breather is negated. Using this form expends the mist breather’s reaction, as well as four breathing points.
