Niman Technique V, Fire Surge, was a technique developed by masters of the Niman Form. It involved the application of Force Fire to one's blade, in order to launch a devastating slashing attack at one's opponent.

▵Known applications


Niman Technique V: Fire Surge, was a technique developed for offensive purposes, when one needed to overpower his opponent. While the core values of Niman rested on having it's practicioner survive, this particular technique would allow a master of the Form to take control of the fight, either to create a much needed getaway option, or when the practicioner truly had to defeat his opponent.

The Fire Surge technique is based on the combination between two techniques; The Falling Leaf technique of Form V, and the Force ability to generate heat; Force Fire. By focusing the Force Fire ability on the practicioners own Kyber Crystal, a momentary eruption of fire, often the color of one's own blade, could be generated. This, combined by the movement of the Falling Leaf, resulted in a deadly combination of the Force and physical strength.

More powerful Force users who master this ability can create larger eruptions of flame, which can keep burning for longer amounts of time. The rare individuals who had absolute mastery over the Force, could utilize this technique to keep their weapon aflame for days, perhaps even months. While this also meant that a certain level of caution was necessary, it could easily turn the tides of battle.

▵Limitations and drawbacks
The potency of the technique does not make it invincible. A practicioner of the technique must be skilled enough in both the Form V disciplines as taught via Niman or Djem So, and the Force Fire ability. If the technique is not properly executed, self-flagellation is unavoidable. This often results in severe third-degree burns and if control is lost halfway through the technique, burning one's face is possible.

Because the practicioner channels the Force in harmony with their strike, a high-level of concentration is necessary. Therefore, the recovery time one needs after executing this technique makes them extremely vulnerable. That's why the Fire Surge technique is considered an all or nothing attack. It either succeeds, or spells certain loss for the practicioner.

▵Learning

Because learning this technique requires mastery of both Djem So principles and the Force Fire technique, only truly proficient Force-users can learn this technique. (It requires atleast a level 2 character, as learning Force Fire requires a level 2 character.)

▵Intent

To flesh out Form VI, Niman a bit more and to create a new, useable technique for combat scenarios.
