Way of the Phantom Fist

Monks of the Phantom Fist draw energy from another plane. They focus their Ki and bring forth a phantom hand, a mirror of their own fist. Given training and courage, they can master this connection to manifest this energy into their own body and drain it from others. The Way of the Phantom Fist is both dangerous and rewarding, and the monks who train in it are sought for their incredible mystical capabilities.
