<Lore Description>
A Bene Gesserit is an advanced class of Ki Master, who practice a special form of Ki Arts known as Prana-Bindu. It is seen as a pure, direct evolution to the Ki Arts themselves, one not tied to affinities like that of the Nine Elements and Ten Fundamentals.
Similar to Sendō, the main principle behind all of the techniques is perfect control over one's respiration. However, what this leads to is the exact opposite. While Sendō seeks to tune the user's Ki to the wavelengths of the sun, Prana-Bindu instead tunes the user's Ki to their very own Self, the essence behind the user's mind and personality, allowing the Ki to be fully synchronised with the user. In Egyptian terms, the Ka and Ba are in perfect sync.
With this synchronisation, this special Ki, also known as Prana, is fully united with the user, and can be treated as an extension of the user's body, like a third limb. It requires no maintenance, and can be controlled as easily as breathing. It can be manipulated and shaped easily and accurately, to whatever the user simply imagines in their mind. It is even believed that at full power, Prana can be used to bend reality itself.
The Bene Gesserit are often denoted with their greenish aura. While Prana-Bindu mainly pursues unarmed combat, the Bene Gesserit sometimes makes use of longswords and staves from time to time, and even have techniques exclusively for weapons. Similar to regular Ki and Cursed Energy, Prana can sometimes also cause the development of additional Innate Abilities (which are sometimes referred to by the Bene Gesserit as Mars Techniques).

<Class Features>
As a Bene Gesserit, one gains the following class features, upon reaching the specified levels of proficiency in this class:
Level 1: Mastery of Nerves and Muscles
The most fundamental technique of Prana. With their body and Ki in sync, the user is granted perfect control over their muscles and nerves. This lets their body operate at its full 100%, allowing them to strike with unimaginable accuracy and speed.
Level 2: Diamond Skin and Strength
Diamond Skin: A defensive application of Prana. The user raises their defenses using their Prana, allowing them to withstand powerful attacks, both physical and magical, with little injury.
Strength: An offensive application of Prana. The user envelops their hands and feet with Prana, increasing their strength and letting them deal greater damage.
Level 3: Godspeed
The user enhances their leg strength with Prana, letting them move at high speeds and jump long distances thought impossible.
Level 4: Clairvoyance and Divine Hearing
Clairvoyance: The user enhances their eyesight with Prana, increasing their visual acuity and dynamic vision. With it, the user can see up to 1 to 2 kilometers away.
Divine Hearing: The user strengthens their hearing with Prana, letting them hear from long distances, and catch even the softest of sounds.
Level 5: Inner Life
A healing art. The user increases their natural healing with their Prana, letting them heal deep wounds and broken bones in a few days.
Level 6: Numbing Venom
By fulling attuning their Prana with malice, the user's Prana becomes chilling and numbing, able to drain away the target's grace and motor control with each and every strike.
Level 7: Jupiter and Venus
Jupiter: A weapon-based skill. The user accumulates Prana into a weapon, before releasing it in a torrent of wind. This gust of wind is powerful enough to mow down almost everything in its path.
Venus: A weapon-based skill. The user infuses their weapon with Prana. On top of strengthening the weapon, it gives the weapon a toxic edge, "poisoning" the opponent upon a successful wound, and causing them internal damage.
Level 8: Mercury
A weapon-based skill, specifically oriented around control. The user exerts control over the Prana infused in their weapon, controlling it as if it were through telekinesis. It is more technical and difficult to learn compared to Jupiter and Venus, requiring much skill and practice.
Level 9: Cheap Righteousness
The Prana version of Zetsu. The user compresses their Prana within themselves, erasing their presence and sound, sometimes even making them appear almost invisible.
Level 10: Prana Siphon
The user is now able to absorb the Ki and Prana of others. By absorbing Ki and Prana, their healing, stamina and power is boosted further. This absorption of Prana is also necessary for the later ability, <Augmentation>.
Level 11: Augmentation
A form unleashed through excessive absorption of Prana. The user's Prana fully suffuses their body, causing it to start taking upon bestial or insectoid characteristics. This causes their physical attributes, particularly jumping and kicking power, to skyrocket further.
Level 12: Destructive Fist and Sun and Moon
Destructive Fist: A combination of Diamond Skin and Strength. The user raises their hands, strengthening their offense and defense. This technique deals great damage incomparable to Strength.
Sun and Moon: An advanced version of Diamond Skin, where the user focuses their Prana at one point instead of being enshrouded in it, making that one spot impenetrable.
Level 13: Giant Gate and Sentence Song
Giant Gate: An advanced application of Godspeed. The user adjusts their speed while using Godspeed, allowing them to create an afterimage. More skilled fighters can eventually create more than one such afterimage.
Sentence Song: An advanced application of Godspeed. The user adjusts their Godspeed, trading speed for the ability to turn anything that they stand on into a foothold, allowing them to run along vertical walls, water, falling leaves and ceilings.
Level 14: Saturn
A special, non-physical attack. With a palm strike, the user flushes the target's mind with their own Prana, causing them to lose consciousness. When used against possessed beings, it exorcises the demon / ghost out of their hosts.
Level 15: Vital Life
An evolution to Inner Life. The user's power to heal drastically improves, allowing them to heal an entire lost limb in a week. In addition, their lifespan is also extended.
Level 16: Prana Breath
A long-ranged attack, where the user projects a burst of raw Prana from their mouth. This Prana-infused breath is capable of burning and corroding away the aura and physical structure of opponents.
Level 17: Prana Burst
The combination of Jupiter and Venus. The user infuses their weapon with Prana and explosively expels it out, akin to the jet burst. This technique boasts unimaginable power that can slice down many a foe, but it also puts a heavy strain on the user's energy reserves. This technique can sometimes also be used on armour to bolster its defenses. This technique is sometimes also referred to as the Meteor Style.
Level 18: Materialisation
The user can generate constructs made out of Prana, such as barriers, cones, rods, and arms. These Prana constructs, on top of being very durable and dense, also have the ability to reflect damage back to their opponent.
Level 19: Proxy Creation
The user can create a proxy body made out of Prana. This proxy body can operate on their own, making it useful for those who need to be in two places at once. However, this will temporarily weaken the user when activated.
Level 20: Realitybending
The user's Prana reaches the realm of the Almighty, allowing them to bend reality to their own will.
