Way of Chakra

These monks surmised there was a way to use the weave other than casting spells. After all the weave is everywhere and in everyone. Although spellcasting is believed to be the only way to access and bend the weave to your will. Thousands upon thousands of hours spent in meditation finally revealed a new form of weave control. The first monk to feel this new energy described it as a river flowing into specific spots throughout his body and thus the term "Chakra" was born. Chakra was a peculiar phenomenon that only occurred at specific times. The monk only felt it when he or others were in combat training. After recognizing the specific triggers of Chakra, the monk found he could infuse the energy into his attacks to produce a greater result.

One with the Weave

Your relationship with the weave has deepened. This new power is called chakra. You can accumulate 3 chakra stacks at one time. Chakra stacks can only be accumulated during combat and diminish after one minute. You can accumulate stacks by landing a critical hit or by using Ki points. Chakra stacks can be used for adding extra damage to your unarmed strikes or other useful abilities. Starting at 6th level you can accumulate 5 chakra stacks at one time and your attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

 

1 Critical Strike=2 Chakra Stacks

1 Ki point=1 Chakra Stack 

1 Chakra Stack= an additional 1d8 damage

Original Element

 A deeper vein of the weave has opened up to you. Choose one damage type: Fire, Cold, Lightning, Thunder, Acid, Poison, Psychic, Radiant, or Necrotic. This cannot be changed. Whenever you deal damage with a chakra stack, the type of damage is based on your Original Element. You gain an aura matching your original element whenever you have at least one chakra stack. This does not have any additional effects outside of appearance.

Collective Consciousness

Whenever someone within 60 feet of you critically strikes or uses a Ki point, you gain chakra stacks based on the Chakra Chart. 

Leaden Fist

Anatman

Channel restorative chakra in your body to restore 5 Ki points. This channel takes 1 minute to complete and can only be used once per long rest. Starting at 18th level you can restore up to 10 Ki points. You can use 5 chakra stacks to make this effect happen instantly.

Tornado Kick

You can spend 5 chakra stacks to send a, ten foot wide, chakra-infused tornado ten feet in one direction, creatures caught inside take 10d10 OE(original element) damage and make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone. Tornado Kick is an extremely dangerous ability only meant for the strongest opponents and a good monk knows when to show restraint and when to dispose of their pacifistic tendencies.
