Seeing some of the work done with these in the past, I decided to take a crack at it. I suck at fluff so there's not a lot of that. See this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134459) and this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136856) for the specific rules for epic styles. I tried to keep this one in the scope of the other two. Props if you can name the sources I used.

Benefits: You gain +12 to your Initiative bonus, and once per day can activate a Foresight effect for a number of rounds equal to the number of Hiten Mitsurugi Style maneuvers you know +1. Characters with this feat may learn maneuvers from the Hiten Mitsurugi discipline.

In addition, everything in range must make a Reflex or Fortitude save or be drawn into the Nine Hells, deposited in a random layer. They cannot leave that plane by any means for 24 hours.
