Martial styles are a form combat that relies on punches and kicks of different kinds. Unlike weapons and magic, martial styles are free to use and do not drain Focus or Chi, but Chi can be spent to increase the damage of attacks through Chi Strikes.
Martial styles are the default and most versatile form of combat, capable of damaging all types of enemies except golems.
Support styles are a branch of martial styles that generally focuses on reducing enemies' combat effectiveness through various disabling effects instead of dealing direct damage.

Whichever scroll the player receives is dependent on their chosen solution.
