Undying Flame
When Oliver Nash was struck by lightning, his "Chi Structure" changed fundamentally. Oliver is currently oblivious to this. It seems now that he draws his power from an unknown source, outside the common meridians. The combat application of this is that attacks that specifically target chi meridians or power conduits on the human body are rendered moot. While the Wizard is still weakened by these attacks, the undying flame fuels his meridians and therefore prevents them from being completely compromised. That isn't to say that he has limitless energy; such isn't the case. He has normal limitations on chi-use and can certainly run out if he over-exerts himself. The last note worth mention is that fighters with adept Chi Sensory may develop a counter-measure to this but it is time consuming. They first must discover the unknown source and its link to Oliver Nash--a challenging feat in its own right--and then may procede to develop a special technique for targeting the undying flame.
