IBUKI
Through Fire and Flood

Reason  : 1/4
Passion : 2/3
Life    : 3/5
Mundane : 1/4

- Style Description
This Style represents those who fight disaster itself or work in emergency relief, such as firefighters, lifeguards, and rescue workers.

In Japan before the Hazards, the word "ibuki" meant a state where one was overflowing with the energy of life. In the Neuro Age, however, "ibuki" has come to mean those who protect the energy of life, or those who put the lives of others above their own. This Style may be compared to Kabuto, but they are both distinctly different. Kabuto protect the life of their clients. They guard those who have fallen into danger, their lives threatened by others. Ibuki, on the other hand, protect the lives any number of "victims." Risking their own lives in order to save the lives of those they've never met before, that is the Style called Ibuki.

- Miracle: Ascend Life
A Miracle that heals the wounds of another through a rescue procedure. By using Ascend Life, at any time one character may recover from all physical wounds, mental wounds, and bad statuses they are suffering from, and also remove any effects of Style Skills affecting them. That character then may continue combat as normal. However for {Death} and {Catatonia}, they may only recover from it if it was inflicted in the current scene. You may use this Miracle on yourself. However, if you do, then you recover from {Death} or other incapacitating wounds during the next scene.

Condition: If you heal damage that wasn't intentionally inflicted with Ascend Life, the "used Miracle skillfully" XP bonus should be awarded.
