The cube is made of an alien metal, unknown to the world and lost to the ages. Those who were present at the ceremony in which the Twins received these items described them "ever flowing within the confines of cubed space." these Items seem to need an almost constant flow of magical energy. In an inert state it drains very little from the holder, once activated it begins to draw power at an alarming rate, in an area around the caster. Any person, friend or foe within a 10ft radius of the holder begins to have their magical power drained at slightly less then their regeneration rate and is returned to the caster instantly.
-Elemental Imbue. The user can select 1 of the following types of damage: Lighting, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Acid, Cold, Necrotic, Poison, Radiant, Thunder or Force. All spells cast add the selected elements to their attacks. Does not increase the damage done. This ability can be used when inert. It has a 1 turn cool down.  
History
A pair of cubes that where found in the dusty corners of the guild vault. It is rather difficult to date when they got there or even where they came from. The pair seem to be made out of a shiny blue metal with a strong magnetic force to each other, but not any other item. They weigh about 15 grams each and emit a small amount of light. Due to unknown circumstances, the guild leader of Black Rose; Kakuma Blackflower came into contact with the two items and decided the to give them to the pair of twins, Alie and Ariel Blackwell who recently won a competition. Upon each receiving one of the strange cubes both objects violently struck the twins on the left side of the chest where the cube "phased" through their skin rather painfully. X-Ray magic showed that the cubes had replaced large portions of both girls' hearts. No attempt to remove the cubes has been made yet due to the possibility of instant death.

Confirming that this item was passed to the twin.

Firstly, as it isn't clear: is this a weapon or a magical item.

If if the first then each of the abilities of it will need to be written in the spell template format e.g. with strengths, weaknesses, durations, cooldowns etc.

If it is a magical item then its abilities can only be support passive.

The abilities i've seen so far aren't exactly clear on what exactly they do

Post has been edited. Does that help clear up what I am trying to create?

Hmmm....

I see kind of what you are going for the element one. Seems like you want extra MP of some kind. And you mention elements, but nothing really concrete.
Second one just says 'its easier'. How is it easier? What does this do to make it easier?

Basically I need a lot more description on what these do and HOW it works. Its alright telling me vague things like 'easier', but that really tells me nothing

refined it slightly and added examples. Is that better?

Those are not support spells nor passives. They are active spells.

On top of that, those aren't a single ability....thats six per person. So thats twelve abilities, plus combinations. That's 36 possible combos.

So yeah these abilities won't fly on a magic item. Gotta be SUPPORT and has to be PASSIVE. So not something you can trigger at will. Its something that is always on.

A possible idea might be that whenever you use a spell whilst you have this item on your person....it gives the spell a random element defined by rolling a normal dice. That might work

Alright Zack, I've taken your advice and did a complete overhaul of the cubes. This should work now...right?

Magic regen is currently 10% every five posts.

By multiplying that by 2.5 you would be recovering 25% every five posts, which seems far too extreme for me.

I will allow it to go up to 15% or for it to drop down to regenning every four posts with say a 12% regen.

As for the second ability, it needs a bit more definition.

How good is the tracking?
How many bolts are created?
How much damage do they do (should be users rank(max at S) divided by number of bolts)?
How much MP is used by this (as there is no way that is a freebie)

Is that a better description?

Impact guard is fine now.

The amount of mp you regenerate for the other is too much.

Change it to the amount of MP you regenerate is increased by 5%

Change has been added. this has been a ride and a half. thanks for the help and advice.
