    Note: Soul Dance: Twilight Dragon is old Primary. Shadow Dragon Slayer 1st gen is the magic the training is for, which is moved to Primary according the rules regarding Dragon Slayers while Soul Dance: Twilight Dragon is placed as new Secondary. Raven has asked Staff regarding this and said this is accepted.


    Description:

    Soul Dance is not so much a type of magic as a method to become one with magic, which grants the user magic abilities according to their soul. Soul Dance is based on performing various rituals to attune yourself with the flow of magic (especially your own), to the point that the magic interacts with your very being, which results in the magic altering to fit your soul. Like this you gain an affinity for magic, and for fighters more importantly, you gain abilities which fit you almost perfectly. Of course the more strict you are with the use of the rituals and the longer you keep doing them the more effective, but Soul Dance also has a side effect: The more you use Soul Dance, the more your soul and your magic will be combined. This can result in that you gain new weaknesses, like increased drawback effects when you have no magic left. Another example is that if Soul Dance grants you fire abilities, you could become more sensitive to cold. The negative effects become lesser the more effort you put into using Soul Dance and your magic abilities correctly, but they never completely disappear. On the other hand, those who only use Soul Dance to gain some abilities and then recklessly use those abilities will progress faster, but the negative effects will also be a lot stronger. Somebody who only performed the Soul Dance rituals a couple of times and then used the fire abilities they gained from it without restraint or discipline may become powerful, but if they go too far they might even be completely incapable of withstanding low temperatures, to the point that during winter they can't leave their home due to the cold.

    In Akeya's case following the teachings of Soul Dance has shown that her soul is like that of a dark dragon: Ruthless, arrogant, mysterious and strong-willed. However, it has also revealed that she has a deep appreciation for knowledge and power, and for beauty in almost all its forms. The results of this is that Soul Dance has started turning Akeya into a dragon, slowly but surely eroding her links to humanity and expanding the effects of her draconic lineage.


    Strengths:

    Soul Dance specific:

    • Those who follow the teachings of Soul Dance are sensitive to magic, allowing them to sense it fairly easily, with advanced practitioners even being capable of sensing it from long distances, determining the type of magic, and precisely pinpointing the origin.
    • Soul Dance has the great benefit that whatever ability it bestows upon you, it's an ability which matches you. This means that every Soul Dancer is 'talented' with their ability, and thus have little difficulty learning to use it.
    • Users of Soul Dance never have to worry about not having all the requirements to use their abilities. All they need is magic and their soul. As long as both are present, a Soul Dancer has everything they need.
    • Soul Dance materializes your soul as a magic ability. Soul Dancers have a good understanding of themselves, both because of the meditation and rituals used by Soul Dance and because they see just who they are whenever they use their magic.
    • There is no limit to the possible effects Soul Dance can have on the user. The raw strength depends on the user, but otherwise Soul Dance will simply give you the ability most fitting for you, regardless of whether that magic would otherwise be hard to obtain or nearly impossible to learn. Also, abilities granted by Soul Dance tend to keep growing and developing as long as the Soul Dancer keeps performing the rituals and following the training method.


    Twilight Dragon specific:

    • Akeya's draconic powers include a toughness above the average human. When prepared for trouble it is hard to cut her skin, and she can take a beating without it knocking her out.
    • Like with her toughness, Akeya possesses physical prowess that allows her to overpower most humans when it comes to contests of raw strength. This means that when she hits you, she hits hard, and you stay hit.
    • Twilight Dragon causes Akeya to slowly turn into a dragon. This has as result that the effects are permanent transformation rather than temporary spells.



    Weaknesses:

    Soul Dance specific:

    • While Soul Dance can give an endless variety of abilities, itself it does not contain any fighting abilities. It contains rituals and training methods, meant to help attuning with the flow of magic. It takes a while before the abilities given by Soul Dance are strong enough to be used in real life situations, and until that time you gain very little of practical use.
    • Soul Dance gives you an ability which fits you. This can be very advantageous, since it is almost guaranteed that it's an ability that you're very good at using and that has plenty of room for development, it also means that you have no say in what ability you get. If you as a person aren't suited for fighting, the ability you get will not be one which is very usable in a fight, except if you somehow manage to think around the box.
    • Because Soul Dance focuses on materializing your soul as magic ability, it also means that everybody who sees you using your magic ability can see just what kind of person you are. The only way you can deceive people properly while using Soul Dance is if deception is such a big part of you that it also becomes part of the ability granted by Soul Dance. Otherwise, there is no way to hide who you are, even towards yourself. Not everybody is capable of accepting just what kind of person they are.
    • Soul Dance might have great benefits, but it also has great risks. The more you use it, the more powerful you become with it, and the more attuned with magic you become, but the risks also increase, and your weaknesses grow. A fire user will become vulnerable to cold. Somebody who gains the ability to create armour will feel extremely exposed when not armoured. Summoners feel lonely when without their summoned beings, and seeing their summoned beings get hurt might hurt just as much as if they themselves were hurt. Of course, this isn't always to the same extends: Those who properly follow the teachings of Soul Dance, and do not just throw their magic around will progress slowly, but their development is steady, for that lack of speed is compensated by the decrease of negative effects. In contrast, one who only cares for the power gained, and who do not feel the need to restrain themselves, will progress at dangerous speed, but their development is shaky, for that speed is compensated by the vulnerability they afflict themselves with.
    • As stated above, Soul Dance is not just a toy for power. It is a method to gain understanding. You could even call it a way of life, if you are inclined to be that dramatic. Either way, those who follow the teachings of Soul Dance must continue to do so, and with great diligence, for while the Soul Dance opens you to magic, from that point on you have to keep working on that hole, otherwise it will turn into a weakness. It is possible to completely abandon Soul Dance, but in the process will almost surely lose anything you may have gained up until that point, because you have to close yourself off from the magic, preventing it from draining and weakening you, but also removing the abilities that connection gave you.


    Twilight Dragon specific:

    • Akeya doesn't like light, to the extend that she is vulnerable to light based abilities. Since she is a diligent practitioner of Soul Dance the effects aren't that bad, but she still is clearly weaker when set against a light user from the same power level.
    • Like dragons, Akeya is weak against Dragon Slayer magic. it may not be as bad as with dragons, for she is still mostly human, but for her Dragon Slayers are about as dangerous a foe as there is. The fact that she herself is also a Dragon Slayer doesn’t help much.
    • While Akeya can sense magic quite clearly, and has a good understanding of it, she has trouble learning any magic ability which does not agree with her Twilight Dragon. For example, even a simple earth spike would be a serious challenge for Akeya to create. Soul Dance may bestow understanding and power, but with that come clear limitations.
    • The effects of Soul Dance have estranged Akeya from most people. They find her intimidating, or they just can't understand her, and in return she can't understand most others, and has the tendency to view normal humanoids as lesser, because compared to dragons humanoids are lesser.
    • Dragons are known to have good senses, at least a good nose and good hearing. While that may also be advantageous, Akeya suffers greatly when exposed to lots of noise, or to extreme stench.
    • Twilight Dragon doesn’t grant Akeya active abilities, but permanent changes to her body. While this has many advantages it also means that if Akeya is in trouble in her current state she does not possess any spells to turn the tide.



    Abilities:


    • Akeya’s magic is causing her entire being to become closer to that of a dragon. As she progresses more and more of her body will alter, making her less and less of a human as her dragon blood in combination with her magic forcibly expresses itself.
      Each part of the total transformation is unlocked at the same rank as the spell slot it’s put in.
    • Akeya’s attunement to the flow of magic makes her a good sensor, allowing her to detect other mages at twice the range of most mages her rank, and besides of that also allows her to detect the use of magic and the type of magic being used, although the range on that is half that of her ability to detect mages, and she needs to be fairly close before she can say for certain what type of magic is being used.



    Spells/Transformations:
