For the Sake of Ashina

~The future of FtSoA~

To all those asking about Ultimate Owl, I would like to tell you that it will not be happening, at least not from me. It's not an exaggeration to say that Sekiro was my life for a time, it was an outlet to pour my creative ideas into, and back then I had the time and passion to go into meticulous detail, detail so small that most players won't ever notice, but it was enough that I would.

That same passion now has another outlet, I'm joining the military and beginning my career in engineering, and I know I'll have to give the same heart and soul to these endeavors that I once did for Sekiro.

With some officiality I'm declaring, my development for FtSoA is at a likely permanent end. Maybe I'll come back to it in like 8 years?

Somber note aside, if any modders are reading this I would like to state: my mod's files are free to use (pls credit me tho), and if anyone wants to create a spin-off mod they absolutely can!

(P. S. if anyone wants to try and make an Ultimate Owl, I'd be glad to help out, Discord is the best place to DM me :p)

Version 1. 4. 24:

Now is much more versatile in its usage, instead of spending all the emblems on the unsheath, it costs 1 emblem on the unsheath, 1 emblem for each set of double slashes, and 1 emblem on the follow-up, and the follow-up can be cancelled into at any point after the unsheath. You are able to choose to use the combat art with only the unsheath and follow-up slash to only spend 2 emblems total. You can use the unsheath, all 3 double slashes and the follow-up, and any combination in between. The double slashes also have been buffed so they're more worth their emblem cost. When emblemless, the double slashes are non-existent and the unsheath and follow-up slashes do not stagger much and do not have piercing/dark damage. The usheath deals the most stagger but the least damage, and the follow-up deals a bit more damage than the double slashes, so it can be prudent to skip the double slashes if you're about to run out of emblems mid-way through the combat art. I had a lot of fun making this One Mind both strong and with a higher skill ceiling, I hope you enjoy!

Ashina Cross:

Now costs 3 emblems. Increased posture damage. Slightly increased L1 and prosthetic cancel frames.

Firecrackers:

Now costs 3 emblems. Chasing slice no longer removes sword buffs.

ShadowRush/Fall:

Now costs 1 emblem on the vault and 1 emblem on the descending whirlwind slash, so the player can now choose to be emblem efficient if they want to use ShadowRush and do mid-air R1s, or deal more damage with higher stagger using ShadowFall. The player can also use ShadowFall's vault with a mid-air prosthetic without worrying about spending 2 emblems on the vault.

DragonFlash:

Now costs 2 emblems. Re-added the projectile to the unch
