SP

"SHADOW POINTS" SHADOWPOINTS SP
Usage: score
       prompt <%ssp>

Shadow Points (SP) are the specialized combat resource that powers all ninja
techniques, replacing the traditional mana pool. Your SP replaces mana in your
default prompt (<%hH %ssp %vV>).

Peacetime:
Your SP rests at 0 during peacetime. When combat concludes, a 6-second grace
window begins; if you do not engage another enemy before it expires, stored SP
decays by 10 points every 2 seconds until empty.

Combat Generation:
Landed katana strikes generate Shadow Points scaled by your Dexterity:
  * Up to 19 DEX: +3 SP per katana hit
  * 20 to 22 DEX: +4 SP per katana hit
  * 23 to 24 DEX: +5 SP per katana hit
  * 25+ DEX:      +6 SP per katana hit
Unarmed and non-katana strikes generate +1 SP. An active Phantom Clone also
generates +1 SP per mirrored strike while you are wielding a katana. Stealth
Strike grants +10 SP on opening, and Dark Focus restores +30 SP in combat.

Details:
Maximum SP capacity begins at 20 at level 1 and increases per level based on
your Dexterity:
  * Up to 21 DEX: +3 to 5 SP per level
  * 22 to 24 DEX: +4 to 5 SP per level
  * 25+ DEX:      +5 to 6 SP per level
