The strange and, in some ways, disquieting discipline
known as Shattered Mirror is ancient and misunderstood.
Many conflicting tales of its origins and practice exist,
crediting its invention to a variety sources. Perhaps the
most well-known story of its origin places blame for it
at the feet of a mirror of opposition triggered by a great
warrior caught in the midst of a magical conflict. The
mirror’s powerful magics were pulled and warped by the
flying spells and magical taint and the being it coughed
forth came out wrong, unable to return to its home.
Deprived of its homeland and its true and proper nature,
it traveled the lands seeking power over reflections in
an effort to return. The product of its failure, says the
legend, is Shattered Mirror, which is still practiced to this
day by those who seek power over reflections both true
and deceptive. Shattered Mirror’s associated skills are Craft (glassmaking), Craft (painting), Craft (sculpture), and Craft (sketching), and its associated weapon groups
as heavy blades, light blades, and close weapons. Some
maneuvers from this discipline require the initiator to
make a Craft check; these checks must use one of the
Craft skills associated with Shattered Mirror.
Special Note: Maneuvers from this discipline are universally supernatural in nature, drawing as they do on the initiator’s ability to twist reality and reflect upon both themselves and others. As such, they are supernatural abilities. Some maneuvers from this discipline require the initiator to make a Craft check; these checks must use one of the Craft skills associated with the Shattered Mirror discipline.
You can make additional attacks of opportunity each round equal to your initiation modifier, and attacks that hit you in melee provoke an attack of opportunity from you.
