okay, and i'll admit i sometimes confuse words that are spelt similarly that i don't use often. (like i have no idea what the differance between to and too is >////<) i'll fix that up in a moment. as for the mist, that's basically how he teleports (not that anyone seems to have ever figured that out on their own before) and the only times i ever use it to actually dodge an attack is when i can see no other way to dodge a powerful attack that would either mortally wound or kill my character. i can see your point though, i need to find a better way to explain it than 'trust me to use this properly' i guess i forgot to mention any weakness to light, i guess cos i thought it would be obvious that light attacks would weaken/ overwhelm dark attacks or be weakened/ overwhelmed themselves based on the strength. if the two are equal then they would balance out and do nothing. but i made mention that when he's holding one of his swords, cos it is lined to him stronger than the others, his shadow's get mixed with it's metal control. which again comes down to a 'trust me to use this properly' kinda thing >___< and i had no intention of using the possessed form unless someone else pulled out something that rivaled it. and only kept it in there for that instance. all in all the problems you pointed out are worded the way they are due to my rp style. i have a habit of only using my characters to the level of the character it's fighting. meaning that really i could use this setup to fight much weaker people and they would still have a chance to win.......come to think of it i made my fighters powerful enough that i've never fought with them at their full strength.
