Rank: B
Type: Fire, Demon, Offense

- Demon's Rage: Cirven can channel his flames into the sword then launch the flames off by cutting the blade in any way. 20m range at max. 2 post cooldown after use.
- Strong against ice magic, wind magic and demon related enemies.

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.
Requires 10MP to activate
Range/size: 3m in diameter
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
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 active spells while holding someone in the spell.
- 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: Water Meditation
Rank: C
Type: Water, Ranged, Support
Description: While in a seated position, Aayla must surround herself in water, calming the raging seas around her, and within her to begin casting her spell. All allies within 5m of Aayla will receive an extra C rank damage to their next two hits, those hits will also gain the water attribute on top of their regular attribute. Requires 10MP to activate.
Range: 5m
Duration: 3posts
Cooldown: 4posts
Strengths:
- Even if Aayla gets distracted, once the water she is sitting in has calmed, the effects of her spell will continue.
- The spell can be cast in combination with any other magic, including fire and lightning magic
- The spell will grant those affected one extra hit of C rank damage, as well with a sudden found confidence in their own abilities.
Weaknesses:
- Can only be cast on allies, and those she recognizes as such. Therefore, if her mind is corrupt by the darkness of any takeovers, she will not be able to invoke the spell.
- Must remain seated for the duration of the spell (3 posts)
- The spell can be nullified by a direct hit of a magic spell.
- If Aayla is at all moved from her casting spot, the spell will be broken.

Name of Technique: Energy Manipulation - Siphon
Rank: A
Type: Semi-Passive
Description: A power that replaced Zenshin's "finishing move" ; The Executioner. This is more practical and draws more on his ability to manipulate energy. It is a powerful semi-passive ability that will indiscriminately cast itself, which is both a strength and a weakness. Zenshin will siphon magical power from any spell cast in a 50 meter radius around him based on the magical power expended by creating an energy vacuum close to him that will suck in the energy from the very air which he will absorb. The spell absorbs half the cost of the magic power expended for any spells and weaken it by just as much for obvious reasons. As stated earlier, this power activates whenever the opponent casts *any* spell, so they could bait the activation with a weaker spell to set up an attack with a much more powerful one. Spells S-Rank and above will not be affected by Siphon. Due to the nature of this spell, it is free to cast.

Strengths:
- Weakens any spell A-Rank and below by half (A rank)
- Relatively low cooldown compared to other A-Rank spells
- Free to cast
- Doesn't affect allies

Weaknesses:
- Activates indiscriminately
- With the proper knowledge, the enemy could bait this ability
- Enemies out of his range are unaffected
- S-Rank spells and above are unaffected

Duration/Cooldowns Instantaneous / 5 posts


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: The Hope
Rank: B
Type: Magical Scythe, Re-equip
Description: A property of Zenshin's peculiar scythe is that it can do something close to... 'transform', so to speak. While he uses it, the scythe takes his from his mana, slowly, not to completely drain him while he uses it. Over time, the small, crescent moon decoration at the top of 'The Reaper' goes from a dim blue to a bright aqua once it's completely 'full', which takes some time since the weapon draws slowly from his power. To finally get 'full' with his magic power takes two posts of the scythe in his hands. Example: The post he casts 'The Reaper' it counts as one and he would be able to transform it at the end of the second post. Once it has reached its limit, 'The Reaper' won't draw any more power from Zenshin, and will either continue to have a bright decoration, or wait to be transformed. After it cannot store any more of his power, Zen is able to transform the scythe, making it glow a bright white for a few seconds while the blade grows in size significantly. Not only does it grow about a foot and a half in length, on both sides, it gets a bit taller and heavier as well. The "transformation" doubles the power of the weapon and makes it much more efficient to wield double handedly, since, even though it is much lighter because it's made from his power, it's still heavy enough to warrant that he not use the huge scythe with one hand. Other than that, the weapon weapon looks aesthetically pleasing to him, obviously, consisting of the blade turning into a glowing, crescent moon on its side. Even though this weapon is basically an 'upgraded' version of the previous scythe and full of magic power, it still has the potential to grow into something even more powerful, the "storage" center of the scythe being the eye-like carving around the center of the blade.

Strengths:
- Significantly more powerful than its predecessor
- Could be used as an "anchor"
- Able to slice through defenses of B-Rank of below

Weaknesses:
- Melee weapon ; useless when the enemy is farther than five feet away
- Not a very precise weapon normally ; Zen would have trouble hitting specific points on a body
- No utility other than being an anchor
- Not very effective at all when wielded single handedly


Name: Roar of the Golden Dragon
Rank: A
Type: Offensive ; Rawr
Description: Because of the fact that the arm has its own separate mana pool, it costs Zenshin nothing to use this spell. To cast, he will point his open palm at his enemy and say the name of the spell before a massive fireball is shot out of it. The attack has a diameter of 20 meters and scorches everything in front of it, inflicting 4th degree burns if it directly hits or 3rd degree burns if it grazes the enemy. It has a range of 50 meters in whatever direction he fires it and lasts a five seconds before fading away. The flames glow a brilliant golden color and burn with a white trim that will blind most enemies unless they have some way to dull the light given off. The blind lasts for one post and the enemy needs to be within 15 meters to be blinded.

Strengths:
- Brutally burns everything in its path
- Fire Dragon Slayers cannot eat this if the arm has absorbed 10% of their magical power
- Very large diameter; Difficult to dodge in this respect

Weaknesses:
- Produces a large amount of like which could be eaten for a *large* power boost to the slayer
- Very linear; Easy to dodge in this respect
- Can harm any allies caught in the cross-"fire"
- Cannot break through shields of higher rank than itself
- Costs double the amount of a normal A-Rank spell

Name: Flame Demon's Rage
Rank: B
Type: Fire, Demon, Offense
Range: 5m in diameter reaches to a max of 25m from the user
Duration: 1 post with a 4 post cooldown
Description: Cirven takes a deep breath and then fires out a blast of his white flames from his mouth at his enemy to completely engulf them in it. The blast causes 1.5 B rank damage.

Strengths:
- Fires at a speed of 25mph
- If a person is hit by the blast the brightness of the flames could temporarily blind or disorient them. Lasts for 1 post.
- Can be used to cancel out other ranged attacks that are equal to B-rank. It will beat out C-rank and lower spells and keep going towards target.

Weaknesses:
- Can only fire straight ahead
- Weak against water and useless against stronger water magic
- If a similar in strength wind magic is used it can cut through the blast
- Strong metal can cause the target to take less damage

Name: Wings of the Serpent
Rank: C
Type: Partial of Serpent Soul Takeover, Self, high defense/offence
Description: (See image of the B Rank Form- Serpent Soul) Two large wings spanning 4m long and 1.5m high erupt from the young dragon slayers back. They are lined with thick, adamantine scales along the bones with talons emerging from every joint and ending of the wings. The 'tissue' like part of the wings are also enforced by a protective layer of adamantine scales.
Range: Melee/Self
]Cost: 20 TOE
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 5 posts
Strengths:
- The adamantine scales lining the wings make a great shield. When the brings are brought together in front of Aayla, they connect to form a completely 360degree protection around her.
- These powerful wings can create powerful gale force winds, making it difficult to approach Aayla.
- The protective wings are extremely durable and add resistance to all spells and attack to some degree (see spoiler)
Rank Resistance
D 100%
C 75%
B 50%
A 25%
S 10%
Weaknesses:
- To create this powerful wind, Aayla must have her feet on the ground to stay steady, otherwise, Aayla will be pushing herself backwards while creating the powerful gale.
- The wings offer no resistance to spells higher than S Rank until Aayla herself has become higher than S rank, in which case, the resistance offers only 5% resistance.
- The adamantine wings are heavy and cause great physical strain. On the ground, Aayla will have little trouble using the wings as a shield, or using them to create her powerful winds. In the air however, she can only stay airborne for one post at a time.
- Intense flames, intense cold will weaken the adamantine armor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Water Dragon Typhoon
Rank: B
Type: Offensive Water Spell
Description: Water appears around her hands. Small bubbles at first but as she fuels more and more magic power into the water, it expands and flows rapidly as if it were freely flowing rapids. When she raises her hands up, the water connects, and when she lowers her arms again, the water is launched forward at her enemy as if a tidal wave hitting the shore, slitting off into smaller water blades that range 3m by 3m. It is a very destructive spell, but also a very exhausting one. It is only ever used as a last resort. This spell deals 3B Rank damage. Requires 30MP to activate
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 2 post
Strengths:
- This spell hits harder than the water dragon's roar,
- And the same cutting ability as the water dragon's claw.
- The terrain around the target becomes heavily soaked in water, affecting the terrain accordingly.
Weaknesses:
- Uses up more MP than other B ranked spells
- The battlefield is turned into a water field, making it far easier to cast aoe effects that affect water ( I.e chain lightning attacks or turning a water field into a frozen field.)
- If the spell is used in succession (say for example, she launches this attack, replenished her magic energy and launches it again) Aayla's body will start going into shock as the quick give and take of magic energy in her body will make her sick.
- Can be blocked by Vegetation Magic and Steel Magic by 100%. All other spell blocks will only decrease the spell to 50% (1b rank of damage)

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

Name: Guardian Angel
Rank: A
Description: Every five posts, Egia is capable of protecting Zenshin from a single spell of A-Rank or below strength. This looks like as if Zen was instantly covered by a shield (of any kind depending on the situation) of pure mana, which dissipates any spell that comes into contact with it.

Strengths:
- Instant cast
- Powerful defensive spell
- Zenshin doesn't have to consciously do it, as Egia is the one casting the spell

Weaknesses:
- S-Rank spells and above will shatter the shield and hit him
- Only blocks one spell
- Long cool down ; once every five posts
Duration: None / Instant

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: Water Slicer

Cooldown: 1 post
Strengths:
- Causes 1 C rank of damage per strike, adding up to 3 points of C rank damage every time the water slicer is used.
- Travels at a speed of 15km/h
- The blades are quick, and sharp as knives, able to cut through stone and some metals.

Name: The Dream
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Description: One of the most powerful spells he has at his disposal, Zenshin recalls getting the idea from a dream (hence the name). Normally, he wouldn't go so far as to use something like this, as it strains his body so immensely, his very life is in danger while it's activated. To activate it, he must give up 30% of his current health and Magic Power. At this point, he will call out the name of the spell followed by undoing mental barriers he made to restrict his own power so that it wouldn't harm his body. When it *is* activated, he will only look like a glowing figure, like a silhouette, except glowing white instead of opaque black. The ground beneath him will crack and the air around him will look disrupted, as the leylines themselves are vibrating due to the pressure he is giving off. A half mile area around him will feel the pressure he's giving off, causing an increase in the force of gravity and grounding most flying enemies. He replicates the same technique used in "Leyline Refraction", but on a much grander scale, creating ten "holograms" of himself all around his enemy or enemies, although only he can actually attack. These holograms can move around and do everything he can, except for cast spells and physically attack. Each can take a single B-Rank spell's worth of damage before disappearing and are controlled by Zenshin. Also during this spell, his speed and strength hit their very limit, tripling for the remainder of the spell, being able to send cannon sized shock waves with just punches and move faster than the eye can follow. Of course, such a spell doesn't come without its downsides. Every post that this spell is active, his body takes 5% damage per post and his mana drains at a rate of 5% per post. This spell lasts five posts before Zenshin repairs the mental barriers lest his body be torn apart by this spell.

Strengths:
- In terms of raw power, unmatched
- His speed allows him to become very difficult if not impossible to follow with the eye
- Flying targets are grounded

Weaknesses:
- Will kill him if used at an improper situation
- Very situational to cast
- Other passives are deactivated during the remainder of the spell
- Very high cooldown

Duration/Cooldowns Variable / 14 posts

Name: Flame Demon's Wrath
Rank: B
Type: Fire, Demon, Offense
Duration: Up to 2 posts with a 5 post cooldown
Range: 10 meters around Cirven or can be shot out into a 10 meter line.
Description: Cirven channels his flames all around his body until he is engulfed in them. Than almost as if like a bomb he explodes the flames off from his body to cover an area of ten meters around him. Cirven can also instead out all of the built of flames into one of his limbs and shoot it out like a beam to cover 10-meters in front of him. The beam is 5 feet in diameter. Any hit by the either the burst of flames or beam take less damage. The damage caused by both versions deal 1.5 B-rank.

Strengths:
- Can be used to hit multiple enemies.
- Can keep the flames around him and hold the spell for up to 2 posts or until ready to use them.
- The beam can be used to burn through things.

Weaknesses:
- If hit by a water spell of B-rank or higher the flames will be drenched and will end the spell.
- Wind magic of of A-rank or higher can be used to suck the oxygen away from the flames and disperse them before launching the attack.
- After use of this spell the user needs time to rest causing them to not be able to use any spells until after their next post.
- The beam and explosion will hurt everyone they hit, including allies.

Name: Serpents gaze
Rank: B
Type: Partial T/O of Serpent Dragon
Description:The dragon's gaze is an ability found only in the users eyes. The isis' will shift into dark slits while the whites of Aayla's eyes will turn blue. To those looking on, it seems like nothing more than a scare tactic, but once someone gaze's into those transformed eyes, they might as well surrender to their fate.

The eyes can have 3 different effects depending on what enemy Aayla faces. They can either turn someone to stone, cast Dragon Fear into the heart of her opponent to stop movement as well as create fatigue, putting an enemy to sleep.
Range: 5m, must be able to see the opponents eyes. The spells wear off when the opponent s 6m away from Aayla.
Cost: 30 TOE
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown:5 posts
Strengths:
- Dragon fear: D rank enemies that look into Aayla's eyes will suffer the effects of Dragon fear. This effect will cause enemies to freeze in place for 2 turns then attempt to flee from Aayla.
- Stone Gaze: C ranked enemies that look into Aayla's eyes will be turned to stone for 2 posts. The only way to break the stone gaze's effect early as with similar stone gaze magic, or earth magic.
- Sleep: B ranked enemies will fall asleep for one post, while A ranked enemies will grow drowsy and lose 25% movement speed.
Weakness:
- This ability will not work on someone with glasses, unless they remove them.
- This ability will not work against someone else who has an active ability cast by the eyes.
- Any kind of mirror, will have the spell bounce back on Aayla if she looks into her own eyes.
- Must have eye contact with an opponent to cast any of these spells. Once the spell is cast, eye contact can be broken.
Name: Serpent Claws
Rank: D
Type: Self, Partial T/O
Description:  Aayla's hands and forearms become covered in heavy aqua covered scaled, growing larger and larger, elongating her fingers into shark powerful claws as Aayla summons a piece of her takeover's soul. These claws are powerful, granting Aayla an extra D rank damage and offering a 50% change of poisoning her opponents for one turn.
Range: melee
Cost:10 TOE
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 post cooldown
Strengths:
-  These claws are as sharp as a katana's blade, offering Aayla an extra D rank of damage per strike.
-  Offers a 50% change of poisoning an enemy for 1 turn. This poison is an acute paralytic, meaning that whatever limb affected will be paralysed temporarily.
-  Can be used to block 1D rank of physical/melee damage if used for defence.
Weaknesses:
-  Offers no extra resistance against ranged magical attacks.
-  Susceptible to lightning magic
-  If used against a tougher element (i.e metal), the claws can eventually break, rendering them useless for the rest of that thread.
-  When used at the same time as water magic that covers the claws, the poisoning chance is reduced to 0%

Hybrid Form:
Cirven can use his demonic blood to change into a more demonic form with increased abilities. This form increases his durability by 66% as well as his strength and speed(does not stack with passives). In this form he gains claws, he gains sharp fangs, his ears become larger and his hair changes to a white color. He can only stay in this form for 8 posts and only can use it once per thread due to the stress it puts on his body. While in this form Cirven is darker and more easily consumed by bloodlust and the want to hurt others. He allows the darker side of his personality to take over when in this form so to anyone who knows him he will practically be a new person entirely.
