Mojo had been pondering on a new technique for some time after creating his flame spell. While it and his lightning spell were useful offensive tools, he wasn't a direct battler. He was an assassin, who fought from a distance and indirectly whenever possible. While energy suppression was useful to cloak himself, it also limited his ability to strike out at an opponent without giving himself away. But there were other was to hide.
Mojo held a hand before himself, one finger extended up.
"Emalf".
A small flame one would associate to a candle's spark would appear, dancing merrily on his finger. No smoke came from this flame, however that was by choice and habit. Mojo could easily make flames that would generate smoke, especially if they hit something and started burning on their own. Physical fuel would smoke pretty much inevitably, unlike any Flames fed purely of his magical energy.
Smoke itself however.... had a lot of potential. As an offensive tool, if he was careful, Mojo could blind and choke foes, or use the smoke as a tool to directly wield with his telekinesis, much as he would air. This would allow it to serve as an outright barrier against attacks as well, when reinforced. Utility wise... smoke was disruptive to one's vision, especially if he flooded an area. All of the above, if he flooded an area that he enclosed with his telekinesis; smoke possessed no weight, for all of its blinding and suffocating properties.
And as he could already generate smoke, between his flame spell and his transformations producing smoke as a side effect... a spell to call forth truly voluminous amounts of smoke would be child's play. But what if he took it further? Smoke tended to be odorless but even still would prevent whoever was in it from being able to smell anything. That made two points of concealment with smoke, why not make a third point as it would be magical smoke regardless?
If Mojo was careful and creative he could lace the smoke with his energy thoroughly. A shroud over an area to hide himself in, or to blind an opponent from sensing him if he engulfed them in smoke instead. Or both at once, if he engulfed an area he and an opponent fought in close quarters in. Mojo was well used to his own energies, even externally, and would be able to sense anything through his smoke without a concern, even if he was bathed in it. His skill in sensing would let him bypass the blinding aspect of smoke, though perhaps he should refine his senses even further...
As for the suffocating issue... Mojo had a few tricks for that. It was... Ice, that could survive in a vacuum, if he remembered his studies correctly. Potentially others as well. Regardless he had multiple solutions. Dismissing the spark of flame with a quick breath of air while releasing his will over it, Mojo clapped his hands in front of him and focused intently. Smoke. Ekoms, easy enough. Volume, darkness, disruption, were the keywords to focus on. Form the smoke, form a massive flooding amount, lace the smoke with his energy to form a shroud and blind the senses.
Breathe in.
"Ekoms."
Breathe out the smoke. Darkish pink smoke spilled forth at his command, his energy laced into the dark particles of air as he engulfed the clearing around him. He could feel his energy running through the smoke, his presence seeming to expand as the smoke did to his senses. After a second Mojo ceased and gathered the smoke into a compact ball before him with his telekinesis. Mojo studied the smoky orb and nodded to himself.
A good day.
((Spell "Ekoms": Conjure forth a vast amount of smoke to engulf an area 60 feet around Mojo. This smoke is extremely thick to inhibit breathing and sight. The smoke is laced with Mojo's energy to either enshroud him from the senses of others while he is within it or to stifle the senses of whoever is engulfed within it.))

So... The easiest way to find his newfound elemental affinity was just to see how far he could power up? That was... honestly not Mojo's normal way. He preferred careful thought, subtlety, and understanding over just raw instinct and power. ... Which on the other hand ABSOLUTELY fit into the instincts and general rules for DRAGONS. Of course it did. Mojo sighed. While he normally didn't give a damn what his body was, apparently being changed at a fundamental level like this still had some stumbling blocks. Oh well. Adapt and move forward. So what would be the best way to do this? Mojo pondered for a few moments. Well, he was used to a body enhancement technique... Might as well just take that, only attempt to enhance EVERYTHING at once, drawing from his very core and from every part of himself. And lean as deeply into the draconic instincts as he could for this, because it would be fitting. ... Yeah he was really glad he was staying with North Kai for now, if something went wrong either the Kai's trainee or the Kai himself could come smack him out of it. A moment's thought had him transform to his, now, true form of a Shadow Dragon. No point in not doing this properly if he was gonna do it. Was like a muscle to an extent. The more you worked it, the more you improved. So long as you didn't kill yourself anyway. ((CUE MUSIC FOR BACKGROUND: youtu.be/SQXMBqvQxzQ))"Here we go then..." Mojo took a deep breath. Closed his eyes, opened them. And then reached deep inside himself, to every piece of who he was mind, body, and soul, everything inside him; and he PULLED from it all at once, as hard as he could, to engulf and empower everything as well: mind empowering body and soul, soul empowering body and mind, body and mind empowering soul. "Haaaa......" Unconsciously growling as he called forth as much power as he could, Mojo... for lack of a better term, reached for his draconic aspects, and from there as hard as possible into the mix of raw power he was using to power up to his absolute limits here and now. He couldn't be careful about this; he had to pull from EVERYTHING he was. And that also meant he wasn't excluding the Dragon Ball fused to him, as it was fairly close to a part of him now too. I must become MORE then I was before; I must break any limits I have and become MORE with the dragon's power I have been gifted! I am a DRAGON!"HAAAAA....." Mojo pulled from everything he possibly could and pushed it all towards one goal, one idea concept: Mojo WILL become MORE.((OOC: Limit testing, ? random outcomes, pulling from every source Mojo has to empower himself to his limit (magic, ki, psionic), elemental discovery? Dragon Balls possibly being pulled from as well)) EDIT WITH APPROVAL: Dice roll: 1. Mojo's elemental affinity is Fire! 2% increase to all fire techniques.

The tournament battle with Hunter had shown Mojo he had a few weaknesses he needed to correct. One was a lack of 'focused' abilities beyond his Voodoo Voice. Another, and one much easier to fix in theory, was that his Curse inscribed within him could be used to seal his OWN abilities. He hasn't exactly tested that, so at least it was good he found out in such a low stakes setting.
So he needed a way to deal with that. The easiest solution would be to hit himself with an extremely attack. He could not use an existing spell however, in fear of losing it. So he needed a new spell. The easy solution would be a modified fire spell, to lean into his new affinity, and modified to use the least amount of power he can. Mini-fire, to ensure the name didn't remotely cross his flame spell. Mojo held up a finger and concentrated, suppressing his energy. And then suppressed the outward expression of his energy even further, throttling it back as far as he could and still manifest an effect.
"Erefinim."
A tiny spark of flame manifested on his fingertip, immediately after flying INTO his finger and burning against it briefly. And as it did, Mojo could FEEL his Curse activate and seal the spell away temporarily.
That'll do. A good day.

So Mojo now had a way to deal with his Curse, at least against himself. Now for his other weakness: lack of concentrated attacks. While he had his Voodoo Voice, that was it. So he had pondered that for some time, and had developed a clever idea. His lightning spell sacrificed power for speed. He could do the same with a fire spell, to minimize how taxing using it would be. Losing his reactor meant he actually had to pay attention to how much energy he cut loose with anymore.
So. A powerful fire spell. Well many forms of media revered exploding balls of flame. Fireballs, Fireball, Llaberif. About as much power as his Voodoo Voice, but slower also to empower it further, and shape it to not dissipate unless snuffed out or it hits something to explode. If need be he could always use his flame manipulation spell to redirect it if he missed his target. Nodding firmly to himself, Mojo shifted to face the sky of King Kai's planet, not willing to actually aim the fireball anywhere that might cause damage to his host's home.
Mojo focused intently, gathering energy to his outstretched palm. A ball of flame to incinerate whatever it hits, larger then him, slow but powerful, and staying alight until it hits something or is forced to be snuffed out. Carefully molding his intent and energy, Mojo focused and let loose with a word.
"Llaberif!"
A large ball of fire erupted from his hand, shooting slowly into the sky. Studying it intently, Mojo focused his will again on the fireball directly...
"Emalf."
To redirect it, and have it begin to circle the area above him slowly but carefully. Mojo nodded to himself, breathing a bit deeper to steady his body and reserves of energy.
A good day.
((Spell "Llaberif." [Fireball]. Conjures a Fireball equivalent to +40% Mojo's PL moving at -20% speed. Will not dissipate on its own. Can be redirected or snuffed out with Mojo's "Emalf" spell due to the nature of the spell to manipulate flame, however it cannot be made to move faster or be empowered further.))

Speed was a vital part of combat. The faster individual struck first more often then not, and would find it easier to dodge their opponent's attacks. Their was a technique, mostly ground based but it could be adapted to in the air, which had its sole purpose to cover a decent amount of ground accurately, in the shortest amount of time one could. Not just sprinting, but a focused single movement to cover a small area. A large quick step as it were. This ability provided major tactical ability for the wielder, mostly in the ability to dodge and reposition rapidly.
Mojo had done some hard thinking to figure out how best to train this before coming up with an idea. In a clearing he carefully rose small mounds of earth 10 feet apart, doing this out to a 100 by 100 square. Once he was done he moved back to the center, setting his staff to the side. Standing atop the mound in the middle, Mojo focused his energy throughout his body, and then focused on his legs and feet more so. Bracing himself, he pushed off with one leg, making a single movement to the next nearest mound. Reaching it in a moment, Mojo would stop himself just as rapidly and suddenly atop the mound, frowning as he had to briefly use his flight to stop from overbalancing.
This... would take a bit. But the idea was sound. Mojo intended to simply focus on leaping precisely to the various raised spots of earth across the clearing, sometimes skipping one or two, but aiming to alway land precisely where he wanted to and always with a single movement.
Time to get this done. Mojo nodded to himself and with his energy gathered between stepping back and forth across the clearing to the various raised areas he had set up, only making a single movement to each mound of earth. He intended to practice this for several hours to get it down pat.
A good day.

Just as Mojo learned to suppress his energy, and to an extent hide the energy of the Dragon Balls within him, so too can others suppress their energy. In turn, one would need to possess more refined senses to accurately perceive those who were hiding their own. While Mojo figured most would do so by practicing sensing against someone who could suppress their energy, he didn't have that capability. So an alternative: enhance his own sensory method using the three forms of power available to him. Those three forms being Psionic energy, Magic energy, and Ki.
He already knew how to sense Ki. Psionic power and Magic took more focus, as he used them less then Ki until recently, but he could do it. So Mojo decided to combine all 3 sensory capabilites into one. This would boost all three, and should allow him to bypass normal energy suppression methods. The focal point of this technique would be Ki, as psionics and magic did not normally play nicely together. Mojo closed his eyes and reached out first with his ki sense, feeling the life energy of the plants and small wildlife around him, something he was used to.
From there he reached out with his mind, feeling for the minds of the animals around him. Carefully he layered both what his own body could perceive with what his mind could perceive until the two felt as if they were working in tandem. Nodding to himself in silent approval aa he could feel the difference from simply sensing only one or the other; the feedback felt sharper as well, more detailed to his senses. Next he felt for magic with his own magic senses, something he felt was tied to his spirit as much as his body. Admittedly not the best environment but he could at least feel the ambient energy he radiated, along with the magical energy leaking from the Dragon Balls.
Reaching out with his magical senses, Mojo shifted this sensory feedback to align with what he was feeling from his Ki senses as well, boosting the two together and as a side effect boosting his psionic senses, feeling the minds and whatever dregs of psychic power existed in the non-plant living beings around him. Feeling the 3 extra senses at his disposal come into alignment with each other, Mojo smiled slightly.
The sensory feedback from all 3 at once was massive. It was practically as clear to him as if his eyes were taking in the field around him. On that note, Mojo opened his golden eyes, and layered what he was feeling into what he was seeing. And to his eyes, he could SEE the energy of the world; self induced Synesthesia. After all, normal mortal eyes couldn't REALLY see the energy within a living organism even as small as grass or insects, see the light psionic energy barely emanating from the brains of the small animals around him, see the aura of energy he radiated from himself alongside the magical aura leaking from the Dragon Balls. But it worked for him, extremely well.
A good day.

After a long time pondering, Mojo had come to the conclusion that since had a fire affinity through his new status as a Dragon, it would be best to embrace and refine that affinity of fire. Short version, work to improve the potency of his flames. The easiest way to develop potency of flame was heat (and raw power, but heat was a good measurement). As Mojo was a... mostly responsible citizen of the universe, he decided against setting random things on fire. He would have to put it all out anyway. Instead he dug a nice sized pit of earth via ripping out chunks of earth with telekinesis, using the ripped up chunks to form a barrier around it. Then after making the large hole, he would point a hand at it.
"Auqa."
And with that he filled the hole with water. Sitting (floating) cross legged above the newly made pool, Mojo would crack his neck before pointing both hands at the pool.
"Emalf!"
And unleash a burst of flame directly into the water. Once any steam cleared up to reveal how much water was left, he would cast again. And again. And again.
He would continue doing this to exhaust his energy, refilling the pool whenever it ran out. He would continue doing this as his training whenever he had spare time, pushing his energy to the limits and refining his flame.

Mojo paused in his (currently) normal training of throwing constant flames into water to consider a new idea. His opponent from the tournament had a rather interesting charging spell. Something that could charge over time for a power far beyond his normal output? So long as he could maintain it... He would need to come up with more distractions. Or more ways to cause autonomous distractions while charging.
For now... it would have to be a flame based spell, work off what he had an affinity for, and modeling the fire to be pink was a simple cosmetic change so he could hide it in a smoke spell. Using his flame spell as a basis... a longer incantation to start and stabilize the spell? Then just gathered power from there... Mojo vaguely recalled a quote from an old video game. Fittingly... the quote ended with the word Flame. A bit of a long quote but it would definitely help with setting up this to be separate from his normal basic Flame spell. Running the quote through his mind a few times and then carefully parsing out what it would be in reverse, he nodded to himself.
That would do. In his Draconic form, Mojo would float up and extended his clawed hands skywards, prepping to channel a lot of energy over time into this. Breathing deeply, he then began the spell.
"Emalf ni rethag erutan fo noitcurtsed!"
And with those words, Mojo would gather FIRE above him, and keeping doing so until he could do so no more either by running out of energy or losing the stability. He channeled not just fire but his darker emotions as well, his new draconic desire for battle and destruction and his long locked away rage at the universe and his past into the gathering flame. If the stability wavered or when he felt himself coming close, he would fling the newly born fire right into the pit of water he had made.
Hey. Fire safety was important.
((OOC: New spell crafting: "Emalf ni rethag erutan fo noitcurtsed!" [Destruction of nature gather in flame!]: A charging fire spell, Mojo will charge up a powerful flame and dark emotions from himself above his head for as long as he can before flinging it at his foes; as a derivative of his Emalf spell, Mojo can use ths base spell to manipulate and guide the unleashed attack once it is fired, though he cannot charge it further or speed it up upon release. Power/Rate of charging TBD.))

Mojo was back to his normal training for now: Attempting to flash boil water with a single use of his flames. He had reconstructed his pit of earth, surrounded by the earth he took to make the pit. From there he would fill the pit once more with water, at his maximum amount of over 3000 gallons. Then Mojo floated over his pit of water, hands at the ready.
"Emalf."
And casting flames into the water. Yes he had bigger fire spells, but that wasn't the point. The point was to refine his basic fire, to further empower everything else of his fire he had. Giving himself a moment after the spell, he rolled his neck and casted again.
"Emalf."
Admittedly yes, repeated casting would overall heat the water and eventually start it boiling from repeated casts. But that was fine. He had a goal to work up to, and increments of how fast he heated the full amount of water would be a good gauge. He would be able to refill the pit as needed as well, all of this was a training field of his own design and using supplies he called forth and earth he manipulated.

Mojo sat meditating, listening to the water boil away in the pit of water nearby. He was focusing on recuperating his energy after expending most of it casting bursts of flames into the water as he worked to refine his fire and empower himself through continued energy use. Slow progress but he could feel himself becoming stronger as he repeated this exercise.
Constant work now. It was what he had and what he would dive into. That's fine. He had things to accomplish, and steady growth was necessary for doing so. Breathing deeply he stood up from the ground and floated back above the pit of water.
"Auqa."
A single cast dropped several hundred gallons of the coldest water he could conjure directly into the pit, cooling off the current contents and refilling it back to its original level once more. He cracked his neck before pointing his hands downward at the pit of water while he floated above it, gathering his energy.
"Emalf!"
And returned to firing blasts of flame into the water to hone the potency.
