Inheritors of the Tiger's Dream(Private)

Name: Leyline Manipulation - Lockdown
Rank: A
Type: Utility / Counter-spell
Description: Leyline Manipulation - Lockdown is among Zenshin's simpler spells, created for the purpose of dealing with those who are able to evade his melee strikes by turning ethereal such as a shadow dragon slayer turning a portion of his body into shadow to avoid a slashing attack of his. Whenever typically solid objects become ethereal, they alter their own leylines unknowingly to have different properties than the rest of their average state. What this spell of Zenshin's does is force anyone within a 20 meter radius of him to stay in their original state of being, disallowing them from changing their form past physical aspects (which means it wouldn't affect mages that use takeover. As long as the body part or entire body remains solid, this spell doesn't affect them). Thanks to the fact that this is *his* spell, he is able to choose who it affects, allowing "exceptions" to allies and himself. Provided the spell they use is A-Rank or below, this will stop it and his enemy will still waste the cost of the spell.

Strengths:
- Doesn't affect him or his allies
- Enemy will still waste the mana cost on a spell that changes their "state"
- As long as the spell is A-Rank or below, this spell will prevent it from working

Weaknesses:
- Very situational
- Useless if the enemy doesn't rely on changing their "state" or knows that he has this spell
- No direct offensive capabilities
- Doesn't affect "state" altering spells of S-Rank or above strength

Duration/Cooldowns Always active [Passive]



Name: Energy Manipulation - Burst
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Defensive / Toggle
Description: Upon mastering the ability to control the flow of mana throughout his body, Zenshin is now capable of sending massive bursts of energy to his body parts to strengthen a blow to such an extent that a powerful shock wave is sent out. This effect is comparable to the strength and speed of the blows he uses during his spell "The Dream", although not nearly as large in diameter. If it's the size of a cannon during "The Dream", then "Burst" allows his blows to shoot out shock waves as big and as strong a fifty caliber bullet, provided he attacks with his fists. Should he use burst while using his a bladed weapon such as "The Memory" or "The Reaper", it will send out a "sharp" blade of wind capable of cutting thick stone out at the same speed as it would a punch or kick of his.

Strengths:
- Greatly empowers melee attacks
- Very fast
- He can choose when and when not to use this depending on the situation

Weaknesses:
- Very linear
- Mostly offensive, though it can be used defensively
- Allies caught in the cross hairs aren't safe
- Wind mages (such as slayers) or force mages can cancel the shock wave or blow away his wind (or consume it for a good deal of magic power provided they can deal with the feeling of a truck hitting them in the face)

Name: Flames of Propulsion
Rank: B
Type: Fire, Support, Movement
Duration: Can only use 3 times max in a post and has a 2 post cooldown for each boost used.
Description: Cirven can use bursts of flame from his hands and/or feet to push him around an area quickly. He can use this to quickly move through areas or move to his opponent. A streak of white flames are left behind in the area he used the spell. He travels at speeds around mach 1 when he uses this spell and looks as though he is practically teleporting place to place.

Strengths:
- Can be used to quickly get around areas
- Cirven can boost himself off towards his enemy and quickly attack when he passes them.
- If hit by an attack while being pushed by the Flames of propulsion, add 1B rank damage.

Weaknesses:
- If any water is on his limbs he cannot use this spell until it is dried
- Has to commit to how fast and far he moves once used
- If his movement is predicted he could move directly into an attack if the attacker is fast enough
- Moves so fast, that it is difficult to maneuver quickly and has to stop moving in order to turn.

Name: Linkstep
Rank: D
Type: Utility, Mobility
Description: Linkstep is a move developed by his mentor, a move Zenshin asked to learn while training his recreation abilities. Zen looks for the leylines that flow into an entity and basically 'hitches a ride' on them, teleporting himself to the next entity. The closest comparison would be to imagine an invisible river flowing at the speed of light. He is basically turning into drops of water in the river and, upon reaching the end, re-materializes into his regular form. This spells range is the same as his Origin Perception, 25 meters.

Strengths:
- Effective as a gap closer ; almost exactly like teleportation
- As long as he can see his opponent, he can linkstep to it
- A core ability for him as a melee fighter

Weaknesses:
- Only living entities can be linkstepped to, as non-living entities dont have the same kind of leylines
- Range of 25 meters, anything past that is out of reach
- Not directly offensive
- Not directly defensive either; mostly utility and movement

Duration/Cooldowns Instantaneous / 2 posts

Name: Water Lock
Rank: C
Type: Water, Offensive/Defensive
Description: 
Offense: Creates a large bubble around the enemy, immobilizing them until the spell is broken.
Defense: Creates a large bubble around herself, locking herself inside until the spell is broken.
Range/size: 3m in diameter
Duration:  3 posts or until the spell is broken. 4 post cooldown.
Strengths: 
- The bubble cannot be broken by D + C rank physical attacks.
- Cannot be broken by elemental magic of the same rank other than Ice magic.
- Traps the target inside for 3 rounds (or until broken), allowing time for a combination of effects to take hold.
Weaknesses: 
- Can be broken via Ice magic. 
- Any kind of cancellation/nullification magic can also break the spell.
- Requires the casters constant attention. Meaning Aayla couldn't cast any other spells while holding someone or herself in a water lock
- When used as a 'defensive' spell, water lock is weak against lightning attacks. It will not break, but it will still continue to conduct electricity.

Name: Kontorōru (Water Control)
Rank: D
Type: Support Spell
Description: A spell that allows Aayla to control the temperature of the water she manipulates. She can make the water boil, or freeze.
Range: 3m
Duration:  1 post, 2 post cooldown.
Strengths: 
- Can Boil the water linked between herself and an opponent
- Can freeze the water linked between herself and an opponent
- Can turn most kinds of water into safe drinking water
Weaknesses:
- The water she is manipulating must be in direct contact with her body. Therefore, her Water Dragon Roar would not work with this spell.
- Aayla can also feel the temperature of the water. Therefore if the water is burning, she will get very warm, if it's freezing, she will get cold. 
- Magic (that isn't fire) can still be cast even if under the Water control effect.

Name: Act II: Phainopepla
Rank: B
Type: Offensive ; Utility ; Defensive
Description: Zenshin creates 10 of these upgraded puppets if he feels as though he needs a different kind for this battle. Phainopepla has a superior design to crow in the sense that it's more durable, but it doesn't have as many goodies stored inside. This is true, however, that doesn't mean it doesn't have its own design choices specific to it. Phainopepla is capable of absorbing any magical attack that it comes into contact with and send it back at whoever sent it in a burst of wind based magic. This doesn't apply to spells higher than it and it can only absorb one full B-Rank spell at a time (good thing Zen has ten) making this the ideal spell to go on the defensive with. They also have the unique ability of being able to split a spells power between them in case they need to absorb a higher ranked spell, such as an A-Ranked one. Example: Two Phainopeplas will get in the way of the spell and each will absorb half of it or if an S rank spell, six will get in front of it and each absorb a B-Ranks worth of magical power from the attack to dispel it.

Strengths:
- Excellent for defense
- Can potentially be used for offensive purposes
- Can easily overwhelm an enemy

Weaknesses:
- Doesn't have any nifty offensive augments
- Flying targets are still relatively safe (above 20 meters)
- Not so good at offense
- Zenshin has to focus a little more than normal on controlling ten puppets at once

Duration/Cooldowns Variable / 12 Posts (when all are broken)

Name: Water Dargon's Shadow
Rank: D
Type: Defensive spell
Description: Creates a heavy fog that moves outwards from Aayla's body. The fog is so thick, you can see only what is right around you.
Range: 3m x 3m
Duration:  2 posts, 4 post cooldown.
Strengths: 
- Makes it very difficult to be detected
- May disorient and confuse an enemy
- Fog is made up of small water particles, making it an easy field to manipulate.
Weaknesses: 
- The field is not very wide. It may fool someone who is immediately trapped by the fog, but outside looking it, it is easy to know when and if Aayla leaves the foggy cover.
- Because fog is made up of water particles, lightning can easily course through it.
- Can easily be pushed back using wind magic.

Name: Energy Manipulation: Strings
Rank: S
Type: Technique
Description: The whole reason Zenshin can use these puppets for battle is because he attaches his strings made of light blue magical energy to them. But he can also attach his strings to any inanimate or animate object and manipulate them, or at least try to. It's a simple spell, but a potent one if used properly. Zen is also able to choose to make them razor sharp if he wants to grip onto an enemy that will cut deep if not dealt with immediately. Furthermore, the strings are very tough and require an S-Rank spell's worth of damage to be broken. The range of the strings is 25 meters and he can shoot out up to ten at a time, one for each finger.


Strengths:
- Medium range
- Can use to slice, throw, or grab any animate or inanimate object
- Hugh durability and no cooldown/duration

Weaknesses:
- Bottom line, these are glorified pieces of string
- No directly offensive ability
- Doesn't provide any buffs really
- Enemies could potentially use these against him if he misses them or he chooses not to use the razor sharp string
