Lunar Magic [Custom]

Lunar Magic

• Physical Combat - Going with the nature of nighttime creatures, Lunar magic is heavily physical-combat orientated. An example would be the close-combat techniques wolves use when fighting.
  
• Wolven Senses - Heightened senses, scent recognition, night vision etc.
  
• Minor Creation - Fists have their limits, so basic weapons can be woven out of moonlight as to enable more adaptability in combat.
  

• Users of lunar magic are unable to use their magic during the day leaving lunar mages with only hand to hand combat.
  
• Being able to transform leaves the user a target for persecution as a monster.
  
• Lunar mages' sharpened senses can render them weak to sound, scent or sight based magics.
  
• Chronic exhaustion after extensive use.
  
• Certain spells that use cosmic energy require the moon to be in the casters' line of sight.

Primary Magic: Lunar Magic

Description: Lunar magic was once a very common form of magic so common in fact that a small country was formed by the lunar mages. The lunar mages were a peaceful tribe who lived in harmony with nature. Their most prominent allies were the wolves that lived in the surrounding area - even some of the more well known rune knights would have a hard time facing a lunar warrior in their prime and with their allies. While in the past lunar magic was common now there is only one user born a year and out of twelve born only one normally  lives to adulthood. The main reason so few lunar mages are born is because of the weakened state of the gene that allows a person to manipulate and shape the special weave of cosmic energy that lunar energy is. To possess the gene you must be a direct descendant of another lunar mage.

To use lunar magic the user channels energy from the moon and uses their body as a medium then bend the energy into a physical form or as a catalyst for  their hand to hand combat techniques. Hence, no magic can be used in absence of moonlight. However, at nightfall the abilities of a Lunar mage outweigh those of other magics - but only after dusk. Advanced users may use the disenchantment properties of moonlight to cancel opponents' magic.

Strengths:

• Physical Combat - Going with the nature of nighttime creatures, Lunar magic is heavily physical-combat orientated. An example would be the close-combat techniques wolves use when fighting.
  
• Counterspelling - As seen in the Moon Drip, moonlight has disenchanting properties. While moon drip had a large ritual for a large effect, the versions used by Lunar mages are much weaker but consequently can be executed on the fly. This doesn't mean later on rituals like Moon Drip can be used.
  
• Minor Creation - Fists have their limits, so very basic weapons can be woven out of moonlight as to enable more adaptability in combat.
  

Weaknesses:

• Users of lunar magic are unable to use their magic during the day leaving lunar mages with only hand to hand combat.
  
• Being able to transform leaves the user a target for persecution as a monster.
  
• Lunar mages' sharpened senses can render them weak to sound, scent or sight based magics.
  
• Chronic exhaustion after extensive use.
  
• Certain spells that use cosmic energy require the moon to be in the casters' line of sight.

I have no idea how powerful these spells can be, bearing in mind the huge disadvantages this magic brings so any input or ideas are valued greatly.

Advanced users may use the disenchantment properties of moonlight to cancel opponents' magic. Lunar mages can transform into a wolf at will, but this is strictly non-combat.

Strengths:

• Physical Combat - Going with the nature of nighttime creatures, Lunar magic is heavily physical-combat orientated. An example would be the close-combat techniques wolves use when fighting.
  
• Raw Power - As Lunar magic is fuelled by the moon and isn't bound to an element, Lunar magic is more potent hence it does an extra half rank damage per spell and has a half rank more durability.
  
• Minor Creation - Fists have their limits, so basic weapons can be woven out of moonlight as to enable more adaptability in combat.
