Perfect Sage
Sages that learn from the Toads of Mount Myōboku, the Snakes of the Ryūchi Cave, or the Slugs of the Shikkotsu Forest are referred to as Perfect Sages. These are the people that have learned to perfectly balance the Senjutsu Chakra to the point that their body reaches the peak blend with Nature Chakra, granting the full abilities of Sage Mode and changing only the eyes and surrounding areas to be similar to the animals from which the Sage was taught.
Perfect Sages receive a 1 Tier boost to Strength, Constitution, Speed, Coordination, and Perception while Sage Mode is active
Senjutsu Technique Enhancement
By mixing Senjutsu Chakra into a technique, Sages are able to enhance the power and effectiveness of that technique. This can create techniques referred to as Sage Arts, or can simply improve the power rank of a regular jutsu by 1. To do this, the Sage need only spend half of the technique's cost with the pool of Senjutsu Chakra, while using the normal chakra pool for the other half. This ability is available to both Perfect and Imperfect Sages.
Kata
The umbra sages Kata is a true bond with the shadows. With this they get access to dark techniques. While using Ninjutsu in sage mode their techniques take on a dark hue to them. Flames absorb light instead of producing it, water becomes dark and murky and wind turns black as night. Any Ninjutsu used with sage chakra has its cost reduced by one tier for both activation and upkeep. However this can not stack with other chakra reductions.
This also grants the sage a ++ to Stamina and Speed
Exclusive ability
While in sage mode the Umbra sage is able to move through any level of darkness. Similar to the moving in shadows technique this however does not require chakra cost or upkeep. Sensory can still locate the location of the individual hidden in darkness and any direct light will forcefully eject them from the shadows.
Senjutsu Chakra Pool
The Senjutsu Chakra Pool is the energy reservoir drawn from when using Sage Mode and what is spent in the technique enhancement ability mentioned above. The amount of Senjutsu Chakra available is based on the amount of training put into Sage Mode. It takes a careful balance and is therefore difficult to expand, forcing Sages to spend 50 Experience Points to increase the pool by 10 points. Every Sage's Senjutsu Chakra Pool starts out at zero points but then slowly grows as they invest experience. The absolute limit to their Senjutsu Chakra Pool is half of their base Stamina stat's points.
Sage Mode Upkeep
While in Sage Mode, Sages use a constant draw of Senjutsu Chakra from their pool. This begins at the cost of 20 points per post, but by spending 500 Experience Points, Sages can halve that value to 10 points per post. Perfect Sages are able to do this again, spending another 500 Exp Points to bring the cost down to 5 points per post.
Because of these costs, Sages may find themselves depleting their Senjutsu Chakra pool rather quickly, providing a need to renew that energy. By remaining completely still, the Sage can effectively become one with nature, allowing Nature Chakra to flow into his body that he immediately converts to Senjutsu Chakra. This is one of the hardest parts of mastering Sage Mode, but it is a vital skill for any Sage to learn. Remaining still requires that the user wait 72 hours before their pool is filled to 100%. No partial wait times are permitted, the user must wait the full 72 hours or nothing is gathered.
Alternatively, a player can do a mini "flashback" recalling that they gathered Sage chakra at a previous point in time. This allows the user to start with 50% of their Sage Pool filled by paying 250 Experience upon entry into the thread. It requires that the user actually have 250 Spendable Experience available per their most recent update and that they declare their exercise of this option in an OOC note in their post. If they fail to make this declaration in their entrance post, they may not exercise this option.
