Knight (Class)

The Knight Class tends to utilize a sect of magic known as the Crusading Arts, are which are a set of Light Mana techniques that deal with close-ranged, or hand to hand combat. The crusading arts greatly mirror that of Taijutsu. However, unlike the latter, knightly techniques often make use of mana or facilitate the body's level of strength, speed, or durability in order to make one more deadly in combat.

Overview
Overall, the crusading art remain among the simplest of techniques to learn among the Seinaru no Kuni, at least in the initial stages. In simple terms, the goal of the techniques are to channel mana in effort to revitalize the body's overall striking power, your attacking speed, movement speed, durability, and so forth. Although the manner in which this is done tends to vary. Primarily, however, the method involves the use of building up chi internally, most notably in areas of the body that you wish to use for a particular crusading attack. From there, the user often is tasked with concentrating their mana to the highest degree - the more concentrated, the more powerful your blow will be.

Enhancements
As mentioned before, this form of magic can be used for bodily enhancement. The user can fed their cells the excessive energy for means of speed or strength enhancement. For example, in the use of the Holy Step technique, the cells are fueled with concentrated mana, accelerating their fast-twitch fibers and enabling you to move about with rapid speeds.

Explosive Force
Lastly, with the use of Mana externally, the Knight is able to build up a heavy amount of spiritual pressure or concentration. Techniques of this caliber often allows the user to perfectly blend together the concentration of mana with the build up of one's own immense physical brute force. All in all, this makes a Knight a deadly combatant, be it for hand-to-hand techniques, or even those utilizing a blade.
