Stance
| Level: | Radiant Dawn 8 |
| Prerequisites: | Three Radiant Dawn techniques |
| Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Stance |
You mimic the eternal dance of the sun across the sky with this stance. When you assume this stance, any essence you currently have invested in techniques becomes uninvested (reducing their totals to 0). Essence bound into an expended maneuver remains invested until that maneuver is recovered. While you maintain this stance, you cannot invest essence into maneuvers. This does not prevent you from using Sun’s Gleam. Each of your martial techniques is treated as though it had essence invested in it equal to the number of Radiant Dawn maneuvers you’ve expended while this stance is active, to a maximum of ½ your initiator level (This essence can exceed the maneuver’s essence cap).
Only maneuvers from the initiator class that granted this stance (not feats, items, or other sources) are counted towards this total.
Unlike other Radiant Dawn techniques, essence may not be invested into this stance.
