[ Emmet doesn't respond at first, just cocks his head and blinks a bit as he thinks that over for a long moment or two.

... Chandelure's fire burns cold. It looks like fire and acts like fire in some ways but isn't actually the same in all of them. You can put your hand through it and it won't hurt. And they won't mind. Though he likes being pet in the curl of his arms more.
... Lots of ghost moves feel like that I think. Either feelings or— shadows I guess? Things that are like others but aren't really. Though I don't know what kinds of feelings might make ghost fire.
[ He pauses to yawn a bit, ears swiveling a little. ]
Haven't really thought about it that much here. So I don't know if this really helps. But not counting status moves ... So far for me it feels like ghost in general is easier than other things. Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak are easy if I don't think about it much. Just have to feel not there. [ If that even makes sense. It's a kind of distance, one step removed from something more tangible, more real? Shadow Claw is kind of like his own hands— well, paws— but it isn't. Shadow Sneak— well, of course he isn't over there, silly, he's over here now— ] Shadow Ball I can sort of start if I use Shadow Claw as a base. But I can't control it well enough to conduct it to any real destination so that one is a not really.
