Dmitry wrote:Primary Magic: Nature Spirit Invocation
Secondary Magic: Dmitry's Arc of Destiny
Caster or Holder: Caster/Lost
Description: Ancient, lost magic that allows the user to invoke the power of nature spirits that exist throughout the world. Normally, these spirits have no physical form, existing only on the spiritual plane of being, yet still among us. Dmitry's magic gives them a form that allows them to interact with the physical world. Upon using these powers, Dmitry's pupils glow silver and his irises appear black. Unlike celestial spirits, nature spirits have no keys and must be sought out and tamed through one’s own willpower, thus creating a psychic bond between wizard and spirit. Summoning and taming these spirits are two entirely different prospects, as one can have the will to tame a spirit without having the magic power required to bring them into physical being. There are two types of nature spirits: animal spirits and elementals. The form Animal spirits take can't quite be called material, though they are still physically present. Much like the relationship between silver keys and zodiac keys, elementals are much rarer than animal spirits, numbering only four in the world; of course, they are more powerful as well…
Strengths:
-Unlike celestial wizards, there’s no means of separating Dmitry from his spirits.
-He’s not in as much direct harm as other casters.
- Due to its rarity, it’s less likely to be countered by other wizards.
-Eventually, Dmitry will be able to summon several powerful spirits at once.
Weaknesses:
-While skilled in close range combat, Dmitry doesn’t have the same physical strength as other casters.
-His spirits are affected by his psychological state.
-Nature spirits are more difficult to contract then celestial spirits.
-Spirits require more focus to control.
-His time spent with the spirits has isolated Dmitry from most people, which affects his social skills.
Lineage: Marksman's Aim:
Description: One of Fiore's legends talks about a great hunter who chased an infamous predator for forty years. The predator brought death with it everywhere it went. It was so fast that all other hunters that had attempted to kill it could not even hit it once. Instead, it feasted on their bodies. The great hunter was the only one who had survived a fight with the beast. During the fight the predator's blood got into his eyes, and as if dark magic had something to do with it, his eyes became the eyes of the beast and a strange rush of adrenaline went through his body. Both escaped the fight with serious wounds, but survived. Thirty-eight years the hunter finally stuck an arrow through the beast's skull. According to the legend, he used the eyes and blood-rush of the the monster to gain incredible aim and accuracy, unlike any other man. Which is why he was able to kill it. It is only now that historians made the link between other hunters in history, and even in modern times, of equal reputation and the great hunter by retracing their bloodlines back to the great hunter himself.
Ability: One of the user's attacks cannot miss and home in for a post when used. They can still be blocked. The user also has a passive effect of improved sight, being able to see twice as far as other people, and incredible natural aim.
Usage: Duration: 1 spell used in a post. Cool-down: 5 posts and can only be used 2 times per post. Passive sight/aim.
Unique Abilities:
Indomitable Will - Because this magic requires such a strong will to utilize, it has strengthened his resolve such that he can resist most if not all forms of spiritual, physical, and mental control such that he cannot be made to do anything against his will. Instead, his movement is slowed by 50%, due to the struggle of resisting such magic (does not include spells deemed ineffective by rank).
Spiritual Medium - Born with a sixth sense unlike the five physical varieties humans typically possess, Dmitry can perceive spirits and spiritual entities. He can also sense the reactions of these spirits, making him aware of absurdly powerful beings or the state of the land in which the spirits reside.
Psychic Bond - The bond Dmitry has with his spirits allows him to communicate with them telepathically.
See No Evil - Due to the effects of the various nature spirits his is bonded with, Dmitry has a 30% resistance to Holy and Unholy damage, as they are human concepts with no place in nature.
Nature's Fury - Dmitry does 30% more damage to angelic and demonic enemies.
