Surged

Using the essence of life and a special blade you can use the powers as a surger, using the power of your bonded blade. 

 

Using the essence of life and a blade softly glowing the colour of its order a Human steps out of the shadows, His eyes glowing soft blue, wisps coming off of his body, dissipating in the air. Rushing towards the demon, with the grace of the winds, his blade glistening the light of the moon. Jumping and shifting, running on the wall to evade an opponents blade. Suddenly dark grey clouds forming around his hands, lightning crackling. As he strikes his armored opponent, a loud crack sounds and the guard flies into a wall. Shifting his gravity to the ceiling he jumps gracefully, dodging an arrow. Landing on the roof, staring down at awestruck opponents, the Human rushes forewords towards the Demon, the Tiefling guards watching the human run across the roof with the grace of the Storms. The Human draws his blade, a lithe blade with a graceful curve, glistening with the moonlight from the windows. Darting forth, with his blade behind him, the Human shifts his gravity to the ground, leaping and landing with his arm on the ground, blade drawn behind him. The Tiefling guards 40ft behind him and the demon baffled before him. The Human turns and swings his blade into an arc, catching the demon off guard and entering Stormstance. Using the grace of Stormstance he slashes downwards, cutting through the demonic flesh. Behind him the Tieflings dropped their shock, kicking into action. As the Tieflings catch up, the human battles the demon, slashing through skin, but leaving no mark. The human slides around the demon and stabs his blade through the fiends chest. The Tieflings, enraged as the demon falls to the ground, white wisps leaving his body and entering the blade. The human sheaths his blade, his eyes now fully glowing a violent blue and raises his hands. Sparks crackle off of his fingertips as he releases a massive burst of lightning. After the Tieflings fall, smoking, the lightning cuts out and the glow fades from the human, the wisps fully dissipating.
