Editing Technique design space

Possible changes to [[Techniques]], if we went with the 13-element system. ''Very'' tentative, would not make any changes without checking with the designer(s) of the techniques. 

A monster might get a basic or animal technique and a condition imposer to start, then every few levels pick up a few simple techniques, the occasional exotic technique, and eventually more and more powerful techniques. 

Splash moves should all have low accuracy. 

== Animal techniques ==
Low damage, decent accuracy, typically Normal, within the abilities of a monster. 

* Headbutt (melee Normal)
* Shadow Boxing (touch Heroic)
* Strike (reliable Normal)
* Ram (melee Normal)

== Basic techniques ==
Low damage (0.75-1.5), decent accuracy (90-100%), no recharge, no other effects.

* Crystal (ranged Magic)
* Lantern (ranged Heroic)
* Lightning Spheres (ranged Lightning)
* Sword (melee Metal)
* Ice Claw (melee Frost)
* Hawk (melee Sky)
* Rock (ranged Earth)
* Sunburst (touch Fire)
* Phantasmal Force (ranged Shadow)
* Fire Ball (ranged Fire) (lower damage than on wiki)
* Gust (ranged Sky)

== Condition imposers ==
No damage, high chance to impose a buff on the player or debuff on the enemy (but not both).
