Revealing Hypothesis ◇ (concentrate) Requirements The zhuraita hits a creature with its thesis

Effect The zhuraita's thesis opens, with the pages futtering at an unnatural speed. It then slams shut, with the cover now showing the image of the creature it hit. The zhuraita's Strikes against that creature deal an additional 2d6 precision damage. The zhuraita can only have one creature as the focus of its Revealing Hypothesis, which lasts until they target someone else.

Thesis Shield ◆ A spinning circle of tomes surrounds the zhuraita, lasting until the start of their next turn. While Thesis Shield is active, the zhuraita gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC and has the Concealed condition.
