Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

Dark Puppetry Aura Hand is an aura-channeling technique invented by Mystvearn in order to have tighter control over the mystic legion of the Dark Army. This skill allows its user to immobilize their targets, leaving them open for any attack. To perform this skill, the user must channel their dark aura into the fingers of one of their hands and then point that hand to their victim.

Mystvearn taught the skill to his disciple Hyunckel, who mastered it thanks to his hatred for Avan. He often uses it in combination with his Bloody Scryde. Eventually, after Hyunckel started fighting for justice, the power of his dark aura weakened and so did the strength of his Dark Puppetry Aura Hand.

Dragon Quest Tact

Dark Puppetry Aura Hand can be learned by Hyunckel at level 38 and costs 95 MP to use. It has a range of three squares in front of him and inflicts major Zam-type martial damage and has a chance to stun all enemies in a range of three squares horizontally. Upgrading the skill increases its damage and reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.
