Blessed by the storm-wielding god Indra, your body becomes a conduit for divine thunder, making your unarmed strikes as swift and relentless as a raging tempest. Each attack carries the force of a thousand storms, amplifying your speed, power, and precision to supernatural levels. Your movements crackle with static energy, and every punch, kick, or parry resonates like rolling thunder, disrupting the very air around you.
While engaged in unarmed combat, your strikes break through defenses like a lightning bolt piercing the heavens. The storm itself seems to favor you—guiding your hands, amplifying your reflexes, and making you an unstoppable force. No blade, bullet, or brute strength can overwhelm you, for you are the tempest given form.
