I activate my ability just like the my memories. It feels almost natural and I can clearly feel the difference. I test around a bit from what I can tell it's similar to transmuters from HxH. I feel a little fatigued after powering down but it seems I have more energy then Ventus maybe it increased due to me taking over am not sure. I start to ponder on how to improve there's so many ways to go but focusing on too many uses would shorten my time and limit my growth.
I've decided am going to first try to apply the way John used his ability then I will try to use moves similar to air benders from avatar. I'll also start training rigorously and try to learn basic hand to hand combat. The Niko style from Kengan Ashura has always interested me it's so fascinating how well rounded all the katas are.
I'll try to replicate the redirection and flame kata and take a little from both the water and adamantine forms. Although it would be nice to use every move in all forms somethings aren't just possible like manipulating the muscles in Adamantine kata. The water kata is good it just that people posses many unique abilities holding them in such grappling positions could prove to be very fatal.
