Make one basic melee attack with each of your Youkai-Forged blades. If you hit an opponent and they fail a Will save, they're shaken for 1 round (this doesn't stack with other fear effects).

If you hit an ally without any fear effect, you may grant it (not yourself) a +1 bonus on Attack rolls, damage rolls, skill checks, ability checks, AC and saves for 1 round.

You must be in an Ancient Temple stance to use this boost. Your separated soul turns into a copy from yourself which acts on your own turn and lasts for 1 round before turning back in your soul. It cannot however use this boost. Otherwise it uses your hp, spell slots, readied manuvers, power points, daily uses, etc. It has perfect copies of your equipment, but cannot use any charged items or items with a limited number of uses per day (neither can anyone else). They all dissolve in smoke when the boost ends.
Both you and your soul draw from a single "pool" when it comes to maneuvers, spells, and other such expendable abilities, so if it uses a maneuver you had readied, it counts as expended for you. If it uses an ability that costs exp, you lose the exp as well, and so on.

You automatically close in with your opponent and deliver one standard attack with each of your Youkai-Forged blades, each dealing extra damage equal to thrice a Profession (Gardener) check. If you hit with both attacks, your opponent must make a Reflex save or die (be destroyed in the case of a nonliving creature) or be sealed under a cherry tree for as long as you exist, you choose to release them, or the tree is destroyed. In the case of the seal, the cherry tree instantly grows in the place your oponent was when you used this maneuver. You may later transnplant it to another location, and it cannot be located by divinations of any kind. Even the people of the area will swear the cherry tree has been there all along when you put it in a new place!
This maneuver specifically overrides any ability, spell, effect, power, maneuver, cheese or anything else that would prevent the enemy from geting killed/destroyed/sealed or allow them to come back. Liches don't respawn, contigencies don't trigger, true ressurection can't get them back, etc. You then return to your previous position.
If your opponent suceeds on the save, they return to their previous position as well.
