Alright, I've hit a snag in coming up with upgrading abilities to Strong for Raen. Namely this one:
So far, I know that I want to mix a little bit of Darkness into the attack, and I know the new name--Ice Beast--but I really don't want to have him just summon some wolf made of ice and darkness(the wolf motif goes along with what I intend to name his Limit Break). Do you have any ideas with how to upgrade this, because frankly, I'm stumped.

Hmmm...
Well, I can see quite a few ways to upgrade it, actually.
Like I usually do, we'll start with the obvious.
More blades.
Faster speed.
Longer range.
Now for the not-so-obvious.
Making them not go in a straight line, meaning controlling where they go. (Combined with more blades, you could actually surround someone like this.)
Making them have darkness stick to where they hit, causing continuous damage for a few posts.
Actually making a giant paw rather than just ice blades that you control. Disadvantage: Less flexible than controlling the blades.
Perhaps having them shoot through dark corridors so that the person can't see them coming.
An additional eruption of darkness at the start of the ability to do extra damage to people who are close enough?
Finally, an experimental suggestion, maybe an alternative form of the ability where instead of sending them along the ground, you can also swing and have the blades fly through the air near your sword to do extra damage in a normal combo, as in swinging and having five blades around your sword for two swings, and then finishing with sending them forth covered in darkness.
This probably isn't all I could come up with, but it definitely is a wide enough selection for you to get a good feel of how to upgrade this better if you don't want to take one of the suggestions.
