Shaman Battles

Shaman Battles are events between Shamans where they send their Okuni to battle each other. In Ophanalis pretty much all confrontations between Shamans are settled in this manner.

Once a battle starts, the Okuni trade moves and try to deplete each other's mana reserves which are located in their bellies. Their bellies shrink with each hit, and once an Okuni's belly goes flat she will faint and must return back to her Shaman's belly. This is referred to as Flatlining.

Rules
The rules of Shaman Battles are: Aside from normal battles, there are also Tag Battles that involve Shaman pairs battling each other, and Squad Battles, where Shamans fight with up to 3 Okuni at once.
 * Shaman's are only allowed to battle either outside city limits, inside a Crysterium, or on concentrated mana fields called Battle Points.
 * The number of Okuni in the battle is determined by the Shaman with the least Okuni in her belly. So if a Shaman with 3 Okuni in her tummy battles a Shaman with 6 okuni, the number of Okuni each Shaman can battle with is 3.
 * Okuni fight until they run out of mana.
 * Once a match starts, no other Shaman is allowed to interfere.
