Restless Sarcophagus

Restless Sarcophagus (うきねせっかん, Ukine Sekkan) is a Caster Type magic involving the absolute stillness of the Darkness Magician. It is one of the few skills only a Master can truly perfect as it employs aspects of Darkness Magic going beyond the bending and melding of shadows. One of the highest grades of defense and offense, very few can breach its impulse driven movement with the exception of the fastest or the most adept of Darkness Magic themselves.

Practitioning
Taking some of the most highest discipline for a Darkness Wizard to employ as nearly all physical movement must be halted. Tapping into their "Twilight Sense" one can can percieve the world with eyes closed with a much higher efficiency within a certain radius. By perceiving the objects, living organisms or spells moving across the spectrum of light and darkness, the Darkness Mage can instinctively detect where any attacker is at all times at a varying radius of perception. Once the Wizard is still and their "Twilight Sense" is activated, their own body's reflexes do the work, activating the Magic in a form of a bleak veil of abysmal energy crawling up and down his/her body.

From there the Mage can attack or defend without moving a single muscle. Avatars duplicated in an eerie display will project themselves off of the user and attack or defend accordingly, manifesting as whole bodies clinging to the owner or various limbs to useful tools suiting the task at hand. In the heat of combat this could be seen as a passive aggressive magic but can be used offensively if the user so chooses to. In reality it is one of the most highly efficient defenses Way of the Shadow practitioners possess and the only known users in the world are from masters of its style numbering less than ten at any given time.

Useful beyond combat, it can allow a Wizard to escape bondage or imprisonment, making it quite useful in releasing the Wizard without any visible means of escape other than their fluency in magic. Whether their skill in magic can bypass Rune Magic barriers or Anti-Magic parameters instilled is unclear but is theorized that even this style can penetrate its bindings. Regardless of the terms or scenario, Restless Sarcophagus is seen as one of the most ultimate defense magic in the Darkness Mage's arsenal.
