Heavy Melee: Perform a ground pound that applies knockup, slow, and deals spirit damage. Hold Crouch / slide to charge a high jump, release to jump.
Baba's Brew
Brew a pot of tea that applies a magical effect in an area when thrown, cycling over time in a random order between a soothing barrier, Silence, or scalding burn that deals spirit damage over time and reduces spirit resist. Press to pause or resume brewing.

Cover targets in front of you with bread, adding a stacking slow. When the channel ends a flock of pigeons bombard the targets, dealing spirit damage and hexing each target into a pigeon, increasing in both damage and duration based on bread count.
