Tertiary magic: Way of the Azure Sword
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description:
Aegis has lived for an eternity, his life dedicated to one sole purpose. In pursuit of that sacred ideal, he had sworn to abide by the way of a sword, eternally seeking greater mastery of the blade; gathering an array of traits along the way.
"Aegis was created and then attained a holy purpose. He is not allowed to rest until he fulfils it, therefore reality itself does not allow Aegis to die. Even if he does perish, his existence would soon be reborn, sent after a dream once more.
However, the knight is but a mere prototype; he was never meant to last. While the hands of time could never slow him down, they would always, slowly, erode his sanity. He is steadily driven more and more by emotion, rather than higher goals... and when he one day loses himself to the malignant grasp of time, his makers would have no further need of him.
Then, embraced by insanity, he would finally be allowed to die so that the world may be rid of yet another hero, dooming him to the forgetful mind of man...
And so, when his bell tolls and he is at the mercy of the victor... but one choice would be left. Should the hero be saved, or should the villain be vanquished?"

- Footwork:
- Name: Footwork
Rank: D
Type: Utility, Passive
Description:
Aegis has trained his agility and control over the body almost excessively. As a result, he has reached a point where it's half technique and half-magic; he is capable of suddenly releasing a powerful shockwave from his feet and dash for up to two metres in any one direction by performing a kick so fast that it can barely be seen. He is also capable of kicking off of air.
- Telekinesis:
- Name:Telekinesis
Rank: C
Type: Utility, Passive
Description:
Through basic mana manipulation and redirection of the mana flow in leylines, Aegis is capable of using Telekinesis, as well as pushing away or pulling closer through an invisible force. The maximal range of this ability is 25 metres.
People can be pushed or pulled as well, but the effect is as if they were shoved by someone of medium strength.
- Entranced Sword Dancing:
- Name:Entranced Sword Dancing
Rank: B
Type: Utility, Passive
Description:
Aegis is capable of partially merging the lifelines of himself and the recreated weapon he is currently equipped with, granting him the traits that weapon carries.
The traits are listed in the spell for each weapon.
- Ronin:
- Name:Ronin
Rank: A
Type: Utility, Passive
Description:
Aegis' unarmed and weapon attacks are, by default, always faster than those of the opponent.
This is because of all the aeons the knight has spent in training.
- Equilibrium:
- Name:Equilibrium
Rank: S
Type: Passive
Description:
Aegis has spent a life fighting against uneven odds and as such he has learned to adapt to them. If the combined power level of all enemies within 100 metres is greater than that of a guild master, Aegis' cooldowns are reduced.
The formula
The power level of enemies depends on their rank.
D rank = 1
C rank = 2
B rank = 4
A rank = 8
S rank = 16
SS rank = 24
H rank = 48
The formula for calculating by how many posts Aegis' cool downs are reduced is as follows:
[total enemy power level]/24
