Forms

Swordmasters, void templars, water templars, and air templars are able to assume various styles, or "forms", of combat. Each form will provide either a static effect for as long as the user is in the stance, or activate a specific effect randomly in combat. Assuming a form requires mana, and each round of combat that a form is being used requires mana (and sometimes movement) to maintain that form. If you do not have the mana to pay the cost of the form, the form will drop. In addition, most forms have a counterform, that will cause the character to lose his stance, rendering him vulnerable to attack.

Characters must be wielding a sword to assume a form.
