To understand What combat magick is, it is important to know what it is not. Combat magick is not shooting fire balls in the air, Grabbing and throwing someone hundreds of feet, nor teleporting behind an enemy to get an opening.
This begs the question "What is combat magick". Throughout my years of study I have found many ways to utilize magick in combat.
Combat magick is rarly a fast acting force. In a fight, a person would be lucky to accomplish even the most simple spells, because the difficulty of establishing focus. In this way all magick used in combat is usally variations of the basics such as energy manipulation. It is possible that a person can use a spell before hand to somehow effect the battle, but these often dont work in spectaculer ways. They are far more sudtle.
Energy manipulation is used in many martial arts. While striking someone can Visualize energy flowing into his arm lending strength to the blows. When hit you can use energy to take some of the bite from the blow. This can be done by visualizing your internal energy acting like a pillow against the force. These techniques require alot of practice to learn how to properly focus on mainting this intent while also paying attention to the battle.
There are severial techniques that can be used before hand. Though I am not proficient in them, there are spells that can help increase the chance of dodging blows. These are based on manipulating the users luck or in some cases they can make the victim unlucky. Another way of increasing your chances in combat (one im very skilled at) is meditation. Meditation beforehand can lend focus to one in the battle.
Another form of meditation are techniques that effect how a person reacts in battle. It is hard to describe what I mean here so ill show an example.
The Grey Mask Meditation.
no materials are really needed for this technique.
Effect: Allows user to harness anger as a tool of focus in battle. also as a side effect tends to dull anger outside of combat.
Every day for at least a week do the following.
spend 30-45 minutes in a state of deep meditation.
During this meditation visualize the person you hate most in your life. Then visualize that person wearing a grey mask. This mask can look like anything you desire as long as you retain your hatred towards it (thus humor is a bad idea). Now shift the hatred from this person to the mask. let everything they have done to wrong you be transfered to the mask. Let your mind hate the mask like no one else. Each day you can do the same person or someone else, its up to you. After a week the transfer of hatred should be complete. Next time your in a fight visualize your opponent wearing this mask. This should give you an edge because its so much easier to fight someone you hate. The person will feel less reason to hold back.
This can be dangerous as it allows a person to fight without holding back. be careful in its use and never visualize the mask on someone you dont want to hurt.
If someone angers you greatly, you may need to repeat the meditation to help focus the effect again.
If you have more to post feel free to add to this. I am in no way a master of magick so I could easily have missed something or even got something wrong.
