Knacks draw directly from their connection with animals.
'High and low living in caves. Eventually you can read the soil and earth like books.'
Knacks aren't always made for a direct purpose like Charms but can be used for whatever the Lunars can think to do with them.
Hump-backed Nomad The Lunar can use this Knack to become almost immune to thirst.
'Lunar Hero Style' is really a collection of Knacks Lunars use in unarmed combat rather than a martial arts style. Like martial arts styles it has form weapons and cannot be used with armour instead of using Essence as a weapon to fight with, like other forms of Knacks they use it to transform themselves.
In order to learn a Knack associated with an animal they must hunt the anial and kill it in a sacred hunt. At the culmination of the hunt they show respect for their quarry and internalise not just the animal's form but some aspect of it's nature, whether it's body, it's mind or it's spirit. The hunt is the final stage of learning the Knack, after studying the creature and interracting with it to truly understand it then they are ready to take on it's form and absorb part of it in themselves. Knacks that have diverse effects like Hundred Skins Hunter can use any animal in the Lunar's heart's blood background.
Solar Hero Style emulates great heroes, with Lunar Hero Style they actually become the forces of nature that made the Lunars think these Knacks were worthy of the name.
In a sense using Knacks as martial arts powers is a more basic and fundamental extention of supernatural martial arts.They use Essence to change an aspect of themselves they then fight with. With Raging Tiger Spirit their emotions change to those of a ferocious tiger. It's the tiger's fearless nature that is now a part of them that allows them to unhesitatingly assault far greater forces, often with such a lack of trepidation it fills their enemies with dread. Add half the Lunar's Charisma (rounded down) to a morale roll for attacking a superior opponent. If the total successes exceed the opponent's valour they are so unnerved by the Lunar's singlemindedness in the face of overwhelming force that they must take a morale roll of their own at a difficulty of the Lunar's own Valour.
