"Yes sir. We'll write something up for you."

"Thank you."

Deskyl gets back to work on the textbooks, and DZ delivers her report to him a few days later.

Sleep is for people without access to healing magic and caffeine.

He gets the interdimensional transit magic mostly done, then takes a break to read through the report.

Basic combat-relevant Sith powers include enhanced senses and reflexes, telekinesis that can be used to manipulate objects at a distance or move themselves more quickly and accurately, precognitive danger sense, short-range emotion sensing and manipulation, thought manipulation (which requires a shared language), and lightning generation - the tightly-controlled lightning he's seen from Deskyl is a special technique, most Sith can only throw bolts.

More advanced techniques are generally advancements on one or more of those base abilities; lightning can be made stronger, and move in different ways or have different effects added to it, for example a kinetic 'pushing' effect or additional pain; thought manipulation skills can be improved to remove the requirement of speaking to the target and to manipulating more parts of the mind, up to full hallucinations; advanced emotion manipulation allows for inducing a wider variety of emotions and more complicated ones, more strongly or with greater finesse; emotion sensing becomes mindreading with more practice, or can be done at longer range and with more acuity; the danger sense is an application of more general precognition, though that's relatively rare to pickup; advanced telekinesis can allow its user to manipulate more objects at once, or with greater finesse at a longer range, or to manipulate living things more easily; advanced sensory powers include being able to see or hear at a distance. Sith can also learn to manipulate biological systems, which isn't generally combat-relevant in its basic form (Sith are hard to poison and don't get sick at all under normal conditions, among other applications), but he could encounter more advanced uses that are, for example specially developed poisons or guardian animals. Sith out of apprenticehood will generally have more advanced skills in several of these areas in addition to a particular specialty.

Hm... He has preliminary ideas how to counter many of those... He sends back a note asking if it's known whether the danger sense can be confused or canceled out by counter-precognition, and if Sith powers actually enhances reflexes enough that, say, someone would be able to counter multiple attacks in the course of an extremely small fraction of a second, assuming they knew all the attacks were coming.

It's rare for fights between Sith to come down to the danger sense in particular rather than other factors; Deskyl would assume that the stronger Sith's danger sense would prevail but doesn't know anything about the details of how it would happen, or how that would interact with non-Force-based precog - she's willing to test it, if he'd like. The answer to his second question depends on several factors, but wearing a Sith down enough that they can't counter a fast barrage of attacks is a standard strategy; it might not work immediately on a given Sith, but it will generally work eventually.

The best precog they have is the sharingan; a spar against one of their Uchiha trained for infiltration - or against him, he's trained for both infiltration and incredible speed - would likely be enlightening, yes.

There should be a healer on hand - there's not much of a sweet spot for triggering the danger sense without risking injury - but Deskyl is available whenever everyone else is. ...also Desuka would like to be there, her schedule is like so.

That can all be arranged - two skilled healers, even, since the danger will likely be mutual. (No one has any problem with Desuka watching; it'll be educational, even if she doesn't become a shinobi.)

The sharingan is at its best given time to observe; he suspects the optimal use of time here will be if their Uchiha watches Tobirama spar Deskyl, first, if she's willing to go twice.

He sends her a time, day, and place that works for him. Shortly after midday, a secluded training ground offset in the forest, large enough for them to move around without having to retreat to the trees, with boulders and a stream in the clearing. There's a place for the observers marked off.
