Forbidden Seal

Laboring under four Forbidden Seals, these Monks release them sparingly to harness terrible power. If they existed without the seals that limit and protect them they would surely perish after laying a swath of destruction akin to a natural disaster. The Seals are entwined with the energy of your Mind, Body, Ki, and Soul.
