So for the arts we are getting this turn we are dropping quite a few of our old and frankly much weaker arts. This will give us the space to use these new skills in combat. For future arts we are lucky that we have an impurity devour now which doubles the effectiveness of our meridian opening actions. All in all we are set for now with a great action economy in the future to get new arts.

I really don't want Endings to be etched into our soul, and I think it is important to turn down at least one here, both because mechanically I'd rather leave room for TRF and SCS and because on a meta level there's an intense impetus to say yes to a stat boost and I want to establish that we won't just say yes to the first arts we master.

Hm, it would be better if we teach Hanyi how to summon mist, and we hug people. After all, thanks to FSS 6, we have more hugging power than she.
When she reaches Appraisal she'll *have* FSS6. That's the point.

[X][FSS] There are endings and Endings, only the very last one is final. Just as winter ends in spring, small endings are new beginnings.

We will get Domain Rank up this turn.
It's great to see how both art ice mom proposed us could work together.
Reminder for the second. Particulary the draw in part.
So the ice lady would use LWM to capture a target, getting them closer to her right before blasting them with the FSS tech followed by the finisher. Nice combo, but weak against people with long range attacks and dispels (that can escape the draw in part, reducing significantly the damage dealt).
What does this means for ice kid (if she survive ?), well, 1) teaching her SCS if it's possible would be incredibly good for her (as it would give her another way to close the distance) 2) she combo incredibly well with zhengui (zhengui can give her more survavibility to close the distance, can root the ennemies and can provide stealth if we can teach her SCS). (Sled/ice flower pairing otp, fite me irl). 3), some art increasing the speed of our allies would be great (as it would facilitate the closing part needed for the finisher). 4) Hanyi either has tanking techs or will need to get some talismans to tank hits for her.

So, I'm going to do a little discussion on Hoarfrost Refrain from Frozen Soul Serenade.
The first new aspect of Hoarfrost Refrain is interesting. It seems that the single target attacks strike the primary target and then the AoE aspect strikes all foes within Close range, which could include the primary target as well. As it is written now, the primary target of Hoarfrost Refrain would suffer the primary attack (C damage) and then suffer the echoes of the attack if they were in close range (D damage). Which means that should our target be ~100m from us, we would deal C+D damage and then drain their qi towards us based on the D damage.
The second new aspect seems to be a call back to the original version of FSS which existed in the first thread. That version of FSS had an echo damaging effect where it would repeat the damage, and should health damage be done, then a debuff would be applied. The current version of Hoarfrost Refrain seems similar, except the repeated damage is (probably) much lower but constant and a debuff applies. Additionally, the debuff and the repeated damage last until death or dispel.
With a long-lasting DoT effect coupled with a debuff, our opponent will have a much more literal clock when fighting us. Once we tag an opponent with Hoarfrost Refrain, they have two options. Dispell the effect or defeat us before their own time runs out. Given our recent focus on resisting dispell attempts with SES, it will be most likely difficult for anyone not dispell oriented to remove. Which means they must rush us down.
This fits in our combat strategy of forcing the opponent to be on a clock and creating an environment that must be dealt with or they will eventually perish. We have strong tools that allow us to stay alive for significant periods of time. Our new skill Sable Grace combined with SCS and TRF makes us difficult to deal with quickly. Even Sun Liling had some difficulty in finishing us off quickly, and she is a murder blender of the highest order.
All in all, HR is an incredibly powerful technique that deals good damage to a single target and foes around us in an AoE. It then appears to debuff and apply a DoT to the target creating a situation where the opponent must dispell it or deal with us quickly. Given our survivability and our various techniques that make such a task difficult, HR plays very well into our already established paragdim.
This technique is not as flashy as "Call to Ending," but it has received several dramatic improvements from it's older version, Hoarfrost's Caress. There are two notable distinctions: 1) This technique is now single target and AoE damage; 2) It now gives what I presume to be a debuff/damage over time until the technique is dispelled or the heart stops beating.

It was pretty clear, though it's always nice to have WoG. I also think you shouldn't make it clear whether the persistent DoT is 'same damage as initial hit' like in previous thread's version or 'diminishing damage', so that you can adapt it as needed.

Just add the word other. "all other foes within close..." should do the trick.
Hanyi has already sneak glomped Big sister. It happened the first time she met Precious and he got jelly somebody got to hug Mo-uh Big Sis beside him
