Aegis Bright - Refraction Magic [Finale]

Name: Technique: Phase
Rank: D
Type: Manipulation; Utility, Defensive
Description: Aegis transports his body into a different plane of existence via a leyline, thus completely removing himself from the world for up to 3 seconds. However, due to the nature of the used leyline being static, once Aegis returns to his home plane of existence, he reappears exactly where he was when he used this ability.

~Ascension: Mirari~
Aegis wields the knowledge of interdimensional refraction to mirror himself from an alternate timeline onto reality's surface; creating a clone of himself. This clone inherits Aegis' physical and magical prowess, as well as his knowledge of weapon mastery. It uses the same weapons as the knight at any given moment, but does not have to mirror his movements, actions or choices. Although it can cast spells, it is capable only of utility based magic and it shares Aegis' HP and MP.
The clone exists indefinitely, but while it does the real Aegis does not have access to Technique: Phase.
Aegis is capable of issuing his clone the order of imitation, which forces it to mirror Aegis' next spell cast. If he does so, the clone disappears right after the spell is cast and Aegis loses 10% HP.
If necessary, Aegis can annul the clone with simply a thought.

Strengths: 
- Good way to confuse the enemy, as Aegis would literally disappear from the world.
- Can be used to avoid attacks.
- If the knight has Phased for less than the maximum duration, he can recast the ability again, but the maximum duration of the second cast would be the duration he did not utilize with the first one, so even with two casts the total duration of both can not exceed 3 seconds.
Weaknesses: 
- Aegis will always reappear in the exact same spot he was in when he Phased.
- Opponents who anticipate the usage of this spell can strategise to counter it.

Name: Technique: Linkstep
Rank: D
Type: Manipulation; Utility, Mobility
Description: Aegis perceives the leylines that flow into a given entity and connects himself to them, getting instantly transported next to the perceived entity, due to the nature of the leylines. They are like tunnels through which mana passes with the speed of light, so by connecting himself to them, Aegis dissipates in a cloud of mana and travels along them at the same speed.

~Ascension: Lockdown~
Aegis accesses Akasha and overwrites the parameters of his targets' entities, causing them to be incapable of movement for 2 posts.
Using Asecnsion: Lockdown causes twice the cool-down Linkstep would usually have.

Strengths: 
- A highly-effective gap closer, as it is almost like teleportation.
- As long as a living entity is within the range of his Origin Perception, it can be linkstepped to.
- A core ability, since Aegis is generally a melee fighter.
Weaknesses: 
- Only living entities can be linkstepped to, since only they have the appropriate leylines.
- He cannot go through objects with this, so he needs a clear line of sight to perform it.
Duration: None/Instant (Can be cast twice before cooldown)

Name: Mist
Rank: D
Type: Manipulation; Passive
Description: If Aegis receives a single instance of damage that causes him to lose 10% HP or more, the first instance of magical damage he receives after it within the next post is completely annulled.
This is due to a reactive enchantment Aegis has placed on his body that uses his unique kind of magical energy to dissolve enemy spells after they have proven to be a big-enough threat.

~Ascension: Mistblade~
Aegis uses Origin Perception on the entirety of his target's martial knowledge and attunes his self and his weapons accordingly. As a result, Aegis' attacks ignore 75% of any form of resistances that the target may have. They can also no longer be fully blocked or parried -- attempting to do so may, at best, only reduce their damage by 25%, but the attacks themselves will still pass through; their nature being akin to the intangibility of mist. Using Mistblade also turns everything Aegis uses to attack with 75% transparent and covers it with very thick mist, thus making the exact shape, size and type of his armaments near-impossible to decipher.

However, using Ascension: Mistblade is a double-edged knife. Although this ability lasts until the fight ends and is amazing at what it does, it also puts Ascension, Mist and Origin Perception on a permanent cooldown that gets dispelled only when the fight between Aegis and the target of Mistblade ends.
The effect of Ascension: Mistblade cannot be dispelled from Aegis under any circumstances; neither can its drawback be.

From a cosmetic standpoint, using Mistblade causes his weapons (or generally whatever he uses to perform an attack) to be covered by mist

Strengths: 
- Gives him a little bit of extra survivability.
- This is the only passive spell that can be ascended.
Weaknesses: 
- Provides no boost in offence.
- Although it is procced by any form of damage, it only annuls magical damages.
- Cannot be cast at will.
- The drawback of Ascending this into Mistblade are immense.
- Mist only works on spells of up to A rank.

Name: Primordial Restoration
Rank: D
Type: Manipulation; Support, utility
Description: Aegis extends a hand towards either himself or an ally and infuses some of his primordial magical energy with his target, directing it towards their wounds. Since his mana is so pure it's practically life energy, it provides a healing and revitalising effect. Also, the mana's special nature allows it to immediately finish the cool-down of 1 D-rank spell.

~Ascension: Loophole~
Aegis uses his control over leylines to entwine his with that of his target, swapping the percentage of his HP and MP with them.

Strengths:
- Can be used relatively often.
- Provides healing for light wounds. (Anything lighter than damaged bones and mortal wounds. Example being cuts, bruises etc.)
- Finishes the cool-down of 1 D-rank spell.
Weaknesses:
- Does not provide serious healing.
- Can not finish the cool-down of spells that are not D-ranked.

Name: Technique: Leyline Traversal
Rank: D
Type: Manipulation/Recreation; Defensive/Utility, Mobility
Description: Tales tell the story of a legendary spellblade whom was capable of passing through entire dimensions at will, covering large distances in the blink of an eye by stepping through them. While the existence of that person was real, his method of near-instant transportation is actually different. What he really did do, however, was something less complicated, though just as effective. He was capable of "seeing" the diagram of the leylines in the space around himself and extend his magical existence over to them, linking himself to them, allowing him to travel through the leylines for short distances. And now that Aegis managed to uncover the only records of the spellblade's technique, he can do it too.

Execution:
Aegis visualises the blueprint of Leyline Traversal, thus gaining the ability to view the magical leylines which pass around him. Being able to "see" them, the knight extends his magical energy over to the one he chooses and partially links himself to it, turning his body into the 5th state of matter - magic. Being connected to a leyline, Aegis travels with 150 metres per second along the leyline in the form of magical energy until he detaches himself from it or reached the maximal possible distance of 8 metres.
During the dash a blueish-white glowing line appears between Aegis and his original location, looking a lot like a lightning when it comes to the colour.

~Ascension: Pierce~
Aegis quickly prepares his weapon and lunges in his desired direction, using the mechanics of Leyline Traversal to travel up to 1000 metres in his chosen direction at a speed of 200 metres per second. Any non-magical substance in his path gets immediately deleted upon contact with him and any magical barriers are shattered.
If a living being is struck by this lunge, it will not suffer any bonus magical damage from this spell.
Pierce stops the moment it goes through a barrier.

Strengths:
- A wonderful mobility and utility skill which can be used 3 times before going on cool-down.
- Extremely high speed.
- Can be cast at all times and in all places, provided Aegis is capable of using his magic.
- Low strain and low cooldown.
- Allows more tactical manoeuvring, as well as traversing
- The trajectory of the traversal does not necessarily have to be a straight one.

Weaknesses:
- Can not be used to pass through solid objects.
- Maximal distance traveled via a single Leyline Traversal is very small. (8 metres)
- Can not be used to carry others.

Name: Poise
Rank: C
Type: Manipulation; Utility, Anti-Crowd Control, Passive
Description: Through extensive training, the knight's body is in a state far above the average. Furthermore, he has used his ability to perceive an entity's parameters on himself in order to see the weak points in his own body and has driven mana into them with the purpose of strengthening. As a result, he has bolstered stability and a resistance to movement impairing and physical manipulation effects such as slows or knock backs, meaning that their durations(Or the distance they knock him back/up/forward etc.) are passively reduced by 50%. Furthermore, Aegis can activate this spell to drive a wave of mana through his body and dispell a single crowd control effect.

Strengths:
- One of the knight's most essential skills, as it allows him to keep close to the enemy and deal damage. Needless to say, it's an important thing, considering he is a melee fighter.
Weaknesses:
- Can only be used on himself.

Name: Recreation art: Origin Perception EX
Rank: C
Type: Manipulation; Tactical, Utility
Description: The knight concentrates on a single entity and peers into it's parameters - the first phase of the creation of a blueprint. This act allows the knight to completely understand the existence, purpose, function, materials and history of anything. This is mostly used outside of combat, although there could be circumstances where it can hold a use in a fight.

After having gone through the process of recreating an entity so many times, Aegis' eyes were permanently infused with his mana, giving him the ability to partially perceive the parametres of anything he looks at. Thanks to that, he passively sees "through" his target, noticing it's weak points and fault lines. That effect allows Aegis to aim at them, thus granting a chance of dealing a critical hit.

Crits are decided via attack dice rolls; one per attack. If a crit does occur, the final damage of the attack is increased by a percentage depending on the weapon used.

~Ascension: Mark of Annihilation~
Aegis peers into Akasha and locates both his own and his target's entities, sundering both and linking them. As a result, he forces both himself and his enemy to fight until there is a victor -- neither he nor the target are allowed to retreat by reality's logic. Should they choose to retreat, that is considered a paradox in existence and as a result, the fleeing individual have all of their magical power converge in their heart and detonate, draining all of their remaining mana and dealing damage to them equal to the percentage of mana they are missing.
Furthermore, while the two are under the effect of the mark, they both gain bonuses. The targeted magus would start regenerating 15% of their mana per post and their attacks would deal 200% damage to Aegis. But in exchange, Aegis gains double HP regen per post and all of his attacks deal bonus damage equal to the percentage of mana his foe has remaining.
The mark lasts until the victor of that duel is decided. While it is active, absolutely no one can intervene in the duel in any way imaginable, for the world's laws forbid it.

Strengths:
- Can provide tactical courses of action, as it can be used to understand ANYTHING as long as it has an entity. Examples being understanding the way a castle is built in order to find the best entry route, understanding the structure of an opponent's armour to see if there are any weaknesses, be those physical or magical, and so on.
- Simple to cast as it just requires the knight to concentrate on the entity he wishes to look into.
- Can actually be cast on entities which are behind solid objects, as long as the knight knows they are there.
- Increases Aegis' lethality due to the passive effect.
- Can't be resisted by enemies due to Aegis not driving any mana into them in the first place.

Weaknesses:
- No direct offensive capabilities.
- The active effect can not be used if Aegis is unable to focus.

Name: Technique: Divine Guard
Rank: C
Type: Recreation; Defensive
Description: This is the ultimate technique to defend oneself with a normal weapon. It is completely impervious to normal attacks and in this form there is no limit to how many things one can parry at once.

As Aegis recreates it, he can use Divine Guard to parry both spells and normal attacks. While in the form, the knight is capable of blocking magic for up to B-rank spell damage.As for weapon attacks, the total damage absorption possible is equal to his rank. Furthermore, weapon strikes deal half damage to his parry stance. In other words, if Aegis gets attacked with a physical slash that deals B-rank damage he'll deflect it and it would be like he has parried a C-ranked one.

~Ascension: Retribution~
When Retribution is cast, the next time Aegis suffers an instance of damage, the person who dealt it suffers twice the amount.
Once cast, Retribution remains active until Aegis suffers damage. Casting Retribution again while the effect has not been used yet stacks the effect. It can be stacked up to 3 times.

Strengths:
- The ultimate parry stance, this form allows the user to parry any weapon attack from any angle and any side.
- It is especially effective against physical attacks.
Weaknesses:
- This is a technique, so as such it can not be cast on anyone other than Aegis. The only way to use Divine Guard to block attacks against an ally would be to have Aegis stand in the way of those attacks.

Name: Ability: Fortitude of the Knight
Rank: C
Type: Manipulation; Defensive, Utility, Support
Description: Aegis releases a pulse from his mana in a 30 metre radius around himself which heals himself and allies, as well as detects and dispells any negative mental effects from them, and grants a great concentration boost to all affected.
Bolstered concentration can allow for multitasking (casting several spells at once, for example), improved mobility (concentrated people are better at not failing when they do acrobatic moves) and better aim.

~Ascension: Purification~
The Ascended version of Fortitude of the Knight is known as Purification and it serves the function of cleansing all allies in a 50 metre radius of the 3 worst negative effects they suffer from, as well as give them a great boost in concentration and reflex speed.

Strengths:
- A highly effective support spell.
- Provides a strong heal. (Heals any light or deep cuts, bruises, several fractures and a single broken bone)
Weaknesses:
- Small range.
- The concentration boost is useless when given to people who can't do anything with it.
Duration: 1 post for the healing to finish, 3 posts for the concentration boost.

Name: Technique: Dimensional Riposte
Rank: C
Type: Recreation; Counter-offense, Passive, Augmented Normal Attack
Description: Every time Aegis evades or blocks an attack, regardless of the means, he can immediately retaliate with a normal sword swing, regardless of the range between himself and the enemy. Aegis sends a transparent wave of fast moving energy at the enemy which deals the same damage a normal slash from Serenity would.

How?:

Strengths:
- An unblockable counter-offensive technique which can cover any range.
Weaknesses:
- Deals as much damage as a normal slash.
- Loses it's unblockability if done from melee range, since Aegis simply strikes the enemy normally.
- When executed with Kanshou & Bakuya, Aegis makes two slashes instead of one.

Name: Unending Projection: Blade Barrage
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Ranged, Physical.
Description: Aegis has countless weapon blueprints, most of which he never uses the way they are meant to be used, but rather as projectiles. The knight is capable of recreating the lesser swords he has anywhere within 5 metres of himself and sending them flying forward with a wave of his hand, or just a thought, to pincushion his enemies.
These swords are all with a straight, double-edged blade, though some are longer or larger than others. They hold no magic within them and generally are very weak when compared to Serenity, but are still useful as forceful physical projectiles. When they are fired, they travel at speeds of up to 40 metres per second and carry enough impact force to punch holes through solid stone or metal.

The way this spell works is that before actually firing any swords, the knight must first prepare them. Every post Aegis prepares 5 swords for recreation, the maximum number of prepared swords being 30. When he decides to recreate and shoot them towards the enemy, he waves his hand in their direction and instantly recreates them behind himself. The moment they are recreated, the swords are launched towards their target one at a time in very fast succession, like a machine gun. Once they are all fired, the knight must wait 1 post before he can start preparing swords again.

~Ascension: Sigil of Incarceration~
Aegis summons a ring of swords with a radius equalling the distance between the knight and his target + 1 metre; essentially being guaranteed to trap himself and the target within. This ring has a runic symbol in the middle persists for 5 posts and while it does, a mana field emits from the swords in the same shape as the figure you'll get if you connect them. The field cannot be broken from within by anything at all and only Aegis is capable of ending it prematurely, if he so chooses. Furthermore, any attacks and spells that come into contact with that barrier from within are absorbed and the magical power they carried is converted into a magical explosion that emits itself from the middle of the ring, where the runic symbol is. The explosion hits everyone inside and cannot be dodged through normal means.

Strengths:
- Can place heavy pressure on the enemy.
- Can be used quite often.
- Has decent range. (Up to 40 metres)
- Decent physical impact and damage.
Weaknesses:
- No magical damage, seeing how these swords do not have any magical power they rely entirely on physical impact and piercing.
- Can not be launched all at the same time, meaning that they can still be avoided.
- Can be deflected and blocked by non-magical means.

Name: Recreate: Evalach, the Crimson Stand of Defiance
Rank: B
Type: Creation/Manipulation; Defence, support
Description: Aegis extends his hand, palm facing forward, and calls out the name Evalach as he traces the necessary blueprint, creating a crimson dome-like barrier in front of himself which extends all the way to his sides, leaving only his back unprotected. This barrier, when seen from the front, seems like it's made from several glowing white concentric mana circles made from runes with crimson, blood-like substance flowing from the centremost circle to the outermost one. Despite the eerie colouring, the barrier glows in a soft white light.

The barrier is capable of absorbing A-rank damage before shattering and it slowly heals Aegis and any ally who stands behind it up to 25 metres away, slowly mending any non-mortal wound they might have. If the shield is shattered, any ally that is in the range of it's healing effect has 1 B-rank cooldown (or the equivalent of) finished.
Evalach is 8 metres wide in diameter.

~Ascension: Hard Reset~
When Aegis casts Hard Reset, it causes a massive shockwave that originates from him to cover a distance of 100 metres in all directions. As the wave passes through any kind of static magic (such as a magical condition on a person or a persistent magical body in a given area), that magic is completely annulled. Furthermore, any person touched by the shockwave, be it friend or foe, has all their MP drained and is left with just 1%.
Aegis is also affected by the spell.

Strengths:
- A powerful, multi function barrier capable of protecting and healing at the same time.
- Finishes 1 B-rank cool-down(or the equivalent of) upon being broken.
- Aegis can still move while sustaining the shield.
Weaknesses:
- Long cool-down.
- The cool-down finishing effect occurs only if the barrier is broken.
- Evalach has the shape of a hemisphere, so as such it does not protect the back of the caster from attacks.
Duration: 4 posts or until broken.
Cool-down: 7 posts
Active range: 8 metres in diametre for the barrier itself, 25 metres for it's healing and cooldown finishing effect.

Name: Hiken: Final Linear
Rank: B
Type: Recreation/Manipulation; Offensive, Counter-Offensive
Description: Aegis drives mana into his already mana-infused sword and has it glow in a silver light, signifying it's empowerment. As he does so, the knight assumes an aggressive stance with his knees bent and weapon held at shoulder height, it's tip pointed towards the enemy. From there on he begins to execute the technique which comes in two Phases.
-Charge Phase- The knight breaks out in a full-speed sprint towards the enemy whilst using his mana-infused sword to "kill" incoming spells -- possible because of the nature of his magical energy, it can dispell other magic if it is stronger or as strong as it. In this technique, Aegis drives a B-rank's spell's worth of mana into Serenity, thus he can use it to block a B-rank spell's worth of damage with it.
-Strike Phase- As the knight reaches his foe, he makes a lunge towards them which deals double the damage a normal strike would, thanks to the massive momentum he would have gained from the sprint, along with damage equal to any residual magic left in his sword after blocking. So in other words, if he still had enough mana to block 1 more C-rank spell at the end of his charge, in the Strike Phase he'd deal 2*normal strike damage + 1 C-rank damage.
He is also immune to any effect that might otherwise stop his advance for the duration of the spell.

~Ascension: Congregate~
If Aegis uses Ascension: Congregate, all spells cast by the target that are still active have the caster as their target. This effect does not extend to spells that are cast after Aegis uses Congregate.
There are no visible clues regarding the usage or effect of Congregate at all.

Strengths:
- Another one of his trump cards, as it allows him to literally just run through the enemy's spells and strike them before they realise what's happening.
- Can deal a lot of damage, especially if done from point-blank, since in that case no mana would have been wasted to block spells.
- When executed with Kanshou & Bakuya, the knight strikes with both swords in the Strike Phase, each of them dealing the damage of the spell.
- Due to the charge being mana-infused, he can walk on air while performing it, as he just steps on the natural mana floating around.
Weaknesses:
- The Strike Phase requires Aegis to be in melee range.
- The technique can be interrupted if the knight is attacked with more than 1 B-rank damage.
- If it is interrupted, it may result in a rather humiliating drop, provided he was in the air.
- Long cool-down.

Name: Hiken: Blurry Moonflare
Rank: B
Type: Recreation/Manipulation; Offensive, Combo
Description: When close enough to the enemy, Aegis can execute one of his trademark techniques, Moonflare. What that is is the knight partially links his existence to a nearby leyline, which causes it to perform a short range (4 metre long) dash at speeds of 20 metres per second due to the fact that anything linked to a leyline gets accelerated to the speed of light, but since Aegis only partially links himself, 1/3 of his molecules receive that effect. At the same time, the other 2/3 are resisting it, because otherwise the particles that are connected to the leyline would be ripped away from his body and, well, kill him. Avoiding that, 1/3 of his molecules begin to move forward with absurd speeds but at the same time are pulled back with force almost equal to their acceleration, resulting in those particles beginning to vibrate pull along the rest of the knight's body along with them. The counter-force applied by the knight's existence struggling not to be ripped apart, the speed at which he dashes is far from that of light, but in exchange he gets to not blow up and die. Which is nice.
Aegis uses this technique to make 4 such dashes around his enemy, combining each of them with a swing from his sword. Each of these takes anywhere from 1/20 to 1/5 of a second to pass by his enemy, depending on how far he initially was from the foe. Hence it can be inferred that this move is practically undodgeable as it would require not reflex, but foresight in order to avoid. However, Aegis' slashes are unempowered in anyway, making it entirely feasible to withstand them via guarding.
Also, while dashing, the knight's figure appears incredibly blurred and leaves a blueish-silver trail behind.

~Ascension: Assassinate~
Aegis uses his knowledge and powers, and instantly forces a loophole onto reality's logic, phasing himself into a state of being akin to a mass of mana that exists freely within the world. With that done, he tags onto the existence of his target and, through willpower, overwrites his location as it is stored within Akasha; essentially causing a paradox and inverting the cause-effect system. He declares that the effect of him plunging his weapon into his enemy has already happened, before the cause for it has. As a direct result, Akasha tries to protect the logical soundness of the world by briefly altering its laws to accommodate an event where Aegis really has a logical way to do that.
The result is that, basically, Aegis orders reality to turn him into an unstoppable, intangible being and cause him to dash to his target with a speed of 70 kmph, completely ignoring any and all obstacles on his way. Upon arrival at the target, Aegis bypasses any barriers or defences they may have and delivers a single attack with his sword.
The attack is treated like a normal attack performed with the weapon he holds.

Strengths:
- An incredibly fast technique which requires no preparations beforehand.
- Requires foresight, not reflex, in order to avoid, unless the enemy has godlike reaction times.
- Allows the knight to move around the enemy while attacking them, possibly confusing them.
- When executed with Kanshou & Bakuya, the knight strikes with both swords at once during each dash.
Weaknesses:
- The slashes performed during each dash are normal attacks, thus deal as much damage as one. No special effects or conditions are applied through this attack.

Name: Divinity: Fallen Angel/Angel Dive
Rank: B
Type: Recreation/Manipulation; Disengage, Barrier Breaker
Description:
This is an ability that bears its roots in the basic concept of Leyline Traversal. Its execution is quite straight forward: Aegis quickly waves his hand in front of himself, "grabbing" onto a nearby leyline, linking himself to it in a manner identical to how he does it in Leyline Traversal. However, the difference is in what follows, for Aegis does not stop after passing merely just a few metres. He forces himself to stay attached for much longer and as a direct result, he transports himself to a location of his choosing in Earth's outer orbit. This all, of course, happens in the matter of milliseconds, during which he is morphed into magical energy, therefore is intangible.

When he transports himself to the desired location at the border of Earth's gravitational pull, Aegis remains there for a short while. That time he spends gathering condensed magical energy from Space (which is possible due to Space being the closest you can get to the True Akasha without leaving reality) and during that period, Aegis is not present in the post order, nor is he in the scene, for one post. In other words, I, the writer, skip one post with him.
What happens after that period of time depends on what Aegis wants to do. It's either one of two possible scenarios: either he uses all the magical energy he gathered to re-link himself to a leyline, or he lets himself plummet to the ground.

If he chooses to enter another leyline, Aegis can use the magical energy he harvested to practically teleport to any point in the world he chooses. If he does that, this spell has absolutely no other effects, other than transporting him where he wants to be. Think of it as his emergency escape, or how he answers calls for help. Note that if this is used to escape from a fight, it is automatically considered that Aegis has lost it, therefore if there was an item at stake or any other prize for the winner, Aegis' opponent automatically receives ownership status of that reward.

If, however, Aegis chooses to use the mana he gained offensively, it's a whole other story. In that situation, what Aegis does is let himself enter a free fall towards Earth's surface. As he re-enters Earth's atmosphere, he lets the massive amounts of mana he gathered out, engulfing him completely and thus making him resemble a massive blue meteor falling to the ground. The place he is falling to depends on where he wants to land, although he can only make minor changes to his otherwise straight trajectory once he starts his rapid descent; the point of impact can be changed only by about 50 metres in any direction, provided he still has enough airtime left to make the adjustments (Which kind of means that the enemy would still have time to avoid him.)
When he crashes against the ground, an explosion with a radius of 35 metres occurs all around him, shattering all barriers of A rank or lower that are caught in it and dealing B-ranked damage to all unshielded foes. All people affected, regardless of how shielded they are or not, get thrown away from Aegis' point of impact. Those who were unshielded are tossed roughly about 35 metres away. Those that were shielded experience the same knock back effect, although depending on their physique, some would be able to resist it and stay on their feet, only skidding back for a few metres or so.

Important: If Aegis is in his Angel form (invoked through Angel Trigger, the second spell of his pet), all damages inflicted by this spell are doubled, and enemies hiding behind barriers also suffer C-ranked damage. Aegis is capable of almost limitless control over his falling trajectory, due to having angelic wings, and can cast spells while falling, although they have to be STRICTLY non-offensive in type.
Also, while plummeting, the magic surrounding Aegis looks not so much like a meteor as it resembles a massive blue drake and the knight's voice echoes all over the entire area if he chooses to speak, although that change is purely for the sake of cosmetics and intimidation; for story reasons as well.
When cast while Aegis is in Angel form, the spell's name changes from Divinity: Fallen Angel to Divinity: Angel Dive.

Strengths:
- A remarkably flashy spell, capable of greatly intimidating the unprepared.
- Very effective at destroying magical barriers, as well as break through things as solid as concrete, due to the rather massive physical impact.
- Great way to get Aegis out of a tight corner, as it removes him from the whole scene all together, at least for a brief time.
- Might confuse enemies who fail to realize what he did.
- The force of the explosion is enough to knock out most small to medium-large non-magical enemies.
- Due to the nature of Aegis' magical energy, the explosion does not damage those who he deems as allies.
- The spell's cooldown is shorter if used only as a means of teleportation.

Weaknesses:
- Although flashy, its effects aren't nearly as destructive as they seem, considering the actual damage factor.
- Can be difficult to hit the enemies with the landing, if they have sufficient foresight or reaction time.
- While it provides a great way to escape, Aegis cannot carry others with himself.
- While the explosion does not directly damage his allies, it still knocks them away just as it does with enemies, which itself can be lethal enough with sufficient bad luck.
- Mages specialising in manipulating cosmic forces might actually be able to interrupt the knight's spell and force-land him, should they have a spell capable of doing so. As long as there is one with the desired effect, it doesn't matter what rank it is - it will still work on him.
- Aegis cannot cast spells that are directly offensive while performing Angel Dive, and the ones he can cast would usually just ruin Angel Dive itself, leaving him with mostly tied hands in all but the most specific of circumstances.
- In order to cast Angel Dive, Aegis must be in Angel form, which cannot happen if he doesn't carry Egia the Bright with him.
- Using this spell only as a means of teleportation completely negates its offensive uses.
- Enemies who somehow predict Aegis' landing point might manage to set up a trap for him in time, essentially either forcing him to cancel his own spell (Only possible while doing Angel Dive) or to accept the fact that using Falling Angel might have just put in him in a situation worse than the one prior to using the magecraft.

Duration: 1 post, which he spends in total absence from the world; consequently from the posting order as well, if there is any.
Cooldown: 4 posts if used only to teleport, 6 posts if used offensively.
Active Range/Landing Location:Global if used to teleport, up to 50 metres away from his initial position if used offensively.

Name: Technique: Spellrend Drive
Rank: A
Type: Recreation/Manipulation; Offence, Multi-Target, Augmented Normal Attack
Description: Aegis prepares his sword and lowers his stance. As he does so, the knight drives mana into his legs between the fibres of his muscles and has the mana particles start to vibrate. They bump into the tissues around them violently, causing them to reach violent "pressure" levels and become something like stored energy in his muscles. The whole process takes about 1 second.
As soon as that happens,  Aegis speaks the word Akala, and literally shoots himself towards them, unleashing all the stored energy in his feet to glide over a distance of up to 75 metres as if it was nothing. While gliding, gale winds spiral around him violently, tossing aside anything that they touch.
Immediately after reaching the enemy, the knight makes a horizontal swing aimed at their midsection. If the swing hits, Aegis deals 150% normal swing damage and temporarily severs some of the connections in their body which transport mana, thus putting on cooldown all their spells below B-rank and 2 B-rank spells on a 3 post cooldown, and forcing 1/2 of the mana the enemy would use to cast those spells to be leaked and wasted. If the spells affected are passives, they get cancelled for 3 posts.
If there are any other enemies within the range of this technique, Aegis can perform it on them as well. It can be done to up to 4 enemies.
After he finishes the technique, the knight speaks the second half of it's name.

~Ascension: Denial~
Ascending this spell means that the knight completely forfeits its offensive traits. In stead, he trades it for the ability to reject the opponent's spellcasts, hence its name. The way this is done is quite simple; Aegis extends his hand to touch the enemy spell. As long as his hand comes into contact with the mana of that spell, regardless of what form that mana has taken, the knight then speaks out the word pamma, completely negating the spell and forbidding the enemy from casting any other spells of the denied spell's rank for 5 posts.

Strengths:
- Very strong debilitating technique, as it wastes the opponent's mana and disables their spells for a while.
- Has a very long range for a melee attack.
- The Ascended version grants great utility and is relatively useful to defend against an incoming spell as well, as it makes it as if that spell had never been cast in the first place.
Weaknesses:
- Can be avoided as it is a linear attack, provided the enemy can react fast enough.
- Does not affect the enemy's A rank and above skills.
- Having one's spell be Denied by Aegis, along with all other spells of that rank that one possesses, are put only on a 5 post CD, meaning that if the denied spell generally had a higher cool-down, the one who got Denied would be able to use that spell again sooner than they would normally.
- Having one's spell be Denied automatically refunds 50% of the MP needed to cast that spell to the caster.
Duration: 3 posts standard/ 5 posts for Denial
Cool-down: 6 posts
Active range: 75 metres

Name: Recreation art: Refraction Circle
Rank: A
Type: Manipulation; Utility
Description: Aegis waves his hand as a giant 75-metre radius magic circle appears on the ground somewhere with it's centre within 50 metres from himself. At first glance it would appear as the circle does nothing more than to faintly pulse with life energy, which barely is enough to even heal a bruise. It will stay there for 6 posts or until activated.
While active, the circle devours any magic that passes above or bellow it. The moment its duration expires or is activated by Aegis, anyone within the circle deemed foe by the knight gets marked by a magical seal that contains magical power equivalent to the amount the circle absorbed before activation.
Those marks remain for up to 10 posts, and for every post the marked magi abstain from spellcasts, the power in the marks grows by 50%. Once the afflicted cast a spell, the marks detonate.


Note that as long as the centre of the circle is on a flat surface, the rest of it can hover in the air. Also, if the surface vanishes or is moved, the circle would remain where it was initially, instead of moving with its surface.

~Ascension: Overruled~
Ascending the Circle of Empowered Projection transforms the spell into Ascension: Overruled, which is something more offensively oriented. Until the end of the post in which Aegis cast Overruled, he is capable of blocking any offensive enemy spell using one of his arms. He does it by blocking the spell with a limb, and the way it works is simple: due to the nature of Aegis' magical energy, he literally dissolves all hostile magic that comes into contact with him and stores all that magical power into that same limb. If, until the end of the post, he managed to absorb at least one spell, he is capable of instantly shooting a single beam of energy which can reach as far as 100 metres away and is 2 metres wide, it's power equalling that of all spells absorbed by Overruled. The ability to fire the beam can be used earliest at the start of Aegis' next post and remains for a total of 2 posts, including that one.
H-ranked spells cannot be Overruled.

If Aegis managed to accumulate at least 1 S-rank's worth of magical energy, his hand, and consequently the beam of energy begin to glow colourfully.

In order to cast the beam, the knight must speak the word Etross.

Strengths:
- An amazing trump card capable of synergising extremely well with other spells the knight has.
- A good way to catch an opponent off-guard.
- Has a massive surface in terms of size.
- Overruled is capable of completely surprising the enemy by absorbing their spells.
Weaknesses:
- Can only be activated by Aegis' recreations.
- Does absolutely nothing unless activated.
- Can be dispelled by a strong enough spell with such a purpose.
- If the marks expire, no effect occurs
- Overruled's damage output depends entirely on how much magical power Aegis had managed to absorb; if he absorbs nothing, he can't shoot anything.
- If Aegis does not shoot the beam during the two posts following the one in which he casts Overruled, the ability to do so is lost, as is the accumulated magical energy in his arm.
Duration: 6 posts standard/ 1 post for Overruled's absorption followed by 2 posts for the ability to shoot the beam.
Cooldown: 7 posts standard/ 6 posts for Overruled
Active range: 75-metre radius for the surface of the circle, it's centre can be formed anywhere within 50 metres of Aegis.

Name: Hiken: Point of Death
Rank: A
Type: Recreation; Offence, Augmented Normal Attacks
Description: After having examined his enemy through Origin Perception, Aegis knows where their ultimate weakness is, the point in their body which means almost certain defeat. The knight would assume a two-handed grip of Serenity and begin to stab relentlessly at them with a speed of 4 stabs per second, each of which deals B-rank damage and is aimed at different joints and muscle tendons on the enemy's body with the purpose of severing or crippling them. If the enemy happens to have a barrier protecting them, the knight can continue stabbing until it shatters, otherwise he can keep it up for a total of 3 seconds before moving on to the second part of the technique.
Having stopped his merciless thrusting with the result of wounding and crippling the foe, Aegis makes one final lunge with Serenity aimed at the point of death of the enemy. If he manages to drive his sword through it, it would deal bonus damage equal to two A rank spells.

~Ascension: Phalanx~
The Ascended form of Point of Death is dubbed Phalanx, and for a reason. The effect of this spell is straightforward - Aegis infuses his weapons with a specific enchantment, causing the damage dealt by them to be converted into a purely magical type and each attack to deal bonus damage equal to a B-ranked spell. Furthermore, hitting anything related to the enemy is treated as a successful hit against that target, meaning that slashing at spells, for example, would actually harm their caster, as well as beat-parrying their strikes or even striking their hair.

Strengths:
- Indescribably lethal against a single target.
- Can penetrate any barrier if kept up for long enough.
- Cripples the enemy, so that they can do little to avoid the final blow.
- When executed with Kanshou & Bakuya, Aegis makes slashes instead of stabs and does them at the speed of 5 per second. The final blow is a cross-cut, the centre of which is right on the Point of Death of the enemy.
Weaknesses:
- Works only against a single target.
- Can be interrupted if Aegis is struck with a B-rank damage or higher, but would otherwise remain unfazed.
Duration: Variable/ 3 posts for Phalanx.
Cooldown: 6 posts
Active range: Weapon reach.

Name: Hiken: Dimensional Multicut
Rank: S
Type: Recreation; Passive, offense.
Description: Aegis is capable of recreating the actions he does in parallel dimensions and link them to his current dimension via the leylines. As a result, the recreated actions become present in his current dimension and the action be done only once, but it will happen 3 times. The knight uses this ability most often with his attacks, hence it's name. Also, due to the difference in the dimensions, once the recreated attack passes from a parallel one to Aegis' current one, it's angle is different. In other words, the two recreated swings' trajectories will be turned 75 degrees to the left and right respectively. 
This ability also synergises well with spells and offensive techniques.

For better visualisation, I'll provide an example. If the knight makes a downward overhead slash aimed at the enemy's head while Multicut is active, the foe will not only have his head split, but also have his shoulders hit as well. The triple slash's trajectory would look like so:  *

Note that this applies to his secondary magic as well and it allows him to recreate the action of firing the bow while still using his sword, but he's only capable of recreating normal shots through those means.

Strengths:
- Boosts the knight's damage output a ridiculous lot, since it practically triples every single attack he does.
- Works with his spells as well.
- Can make his attacks near-impossible to parry with a weapon or physical shield, since they come from different angles.
- Allows Aegis to recreate the firing of his bow while still wielding Serenity, practically letting him fire two arrows at his foe without even moving a finger.
- The weapon attacks that are recreated through Dimensional Multicut do inherit any augmentations Aegis' normal attacks may have.
Weaknesses:
- Does not increase the range of Aegis' attacks.
- This technique only triples every attack Aegis does, it doesn't add special effects to them.
- Useless if the attacks actually miss, this a waste of an S-ranked slot.
Duration: Eternal, because saying None(passive) doesn't quite reflect the ridiculousness of this ability.
Cooldown: None
Active range: Self

Name: Hiken: Refraction
Rank: S
Type: Recreation/Manipulation; Offensive, Linear, Augmented Normal Attack
Description:  Using the techniques of Dimensional Riposte and Hiken: Blurry Moonflare at once, transporting a cut wherever he wants by making it pass through dimensions and linking parts of his existence to a leyline with the purpose of acceleration, the knight makes 3 mana-empowered slashes so fast that they seem almost like they were done at once and transports them up to 100 metres away. However, apart from that, he constantly recreates them in the space between dimensions, practically duplicating them (Something which is only possible in the place where the rules of existence do not apply, outside of the plains of existence, in other words between the dimensions) and transports them to every bit of empty space between himself and the location where he transported the original slashes to.
What the visible result from this move is, is that the knight makes those 3 mana-infused slashes and their range extends up to 200 metres, practically cleaving anything along the way. Furthermore, due to the large number of leylines that are put to use in this technique, the blueish-silver lines which show the trajectory of the slashes remain "levitating" in the space the swings passed  through, temporarily making it seem like reality itself has been sliced apart, broken into small shards, hence the name of this secret and ultimate technique.

~Ascension: Fragmentation~
If Aegis chooses to Ascend Refraction, it becomes the spell known as Fragmentation, where in stead of creating a 100 metre long line of slashes in front of himself, the knight swings his weapons all around, causing the spell to become an AoE in stead of a linear one. In other words, in a 80 metre radius all around, the standard effect of Shards of Reality is applied, making it much, much harder to avoid, but also a lot shorter in range and easier to hit allies with.

Strengths:
- Incredibly devastating attack, each of those swings applies S-rank bonus damage to his normal weapon strike.
- It easily cleaves through stone, metal, concrete and practically all either substances and materials in existence that are not strengthened through magic.
- When executed with Kanshou & Bakuya, Aegis makes 5 swings instead of three.
Weaknesses:
- It's a linear technique, so as such it can be dodged relatively easily if foreseen. (Each slash is 20 metres wide and 100 metres long)
- It's only function is to deal damage, as such it applies no status-altering effects. It is simply used to destroy.
- It may hit the knight's allies as well.
- Ascension: Fragmentation gains no extra power, as it already is an S-ranked spell.
Duration: None/Instant
Cooldown: 8 posts.
Active range: Up to 100 metres max/ 80 metres for Fragmentation

Name: Creation: Kanshou & Bakuya
Rank: S
Type: Creation; Magical swords, Requip-type spell

Kanshou & Bakuya:

Description: Kanshou and Bakuya are a pair of identical in shape short swords which seem to represent Yin and Yang. Their quality and ability as weapons is incredibly high due to being made with supreme materials not found in this world and a human sacrifice, and they have shamanistic and ritual aspects as enchanted weapons. The quality of the grips is more important in the practical use of the swords than the ornamental value, and they are noted as being quite big and heavy. They are identical in shape with the only difference being their colour. Kanshou, the black Yang sword, is covered in a hexagonal pattern, and Bakuya, the white Yin sword, has less of the shine of a polished metal in its ore than it has the haze of a cloud. The two blades also glow in a soft light which intensifies when their wielder faces someone who he deems a powerful and worthy opponent. Kanshou's glow is of blood red colour, where as Bakuya's glow is pure white.
The main ability of the swords is their strong bond with each other, which not only allows them to attract each other, but it is also said they will return their owner even if events cause them to be lost. If one is thrown while the other is held, the thrown sword will return to the wielder much like a boomerang. These legendary weapons are also said to unlock a swordsman's full potential for wielding them if he proves himself worthy of being their owner. Lastly, due to being of otherworldly origin, the twin swords do not obey the laws of existence in this dimension, or to be more precise, they aren't even supposed to exist here in the first place, thus they are not even present within the Akashic record from which Aegis usually gets the information needed to perform Recreation. Where he got their blueprint from is unknown, but as a result of not being present within Akasha, multiple recreations of Kanshou and Bakuya can exist at once. This works well with recreation, allowing an already recreated sword to identify a new recreation as its partner sword.

Strengths:
- These swords, as weapons that transcend the level of mere mortals are powerful enough to strike down even deities, thus deal a lot of damage should they hit.
- Can be used to perform highly intricate and difficult attacks when utilising their passive ability to always attract each other and always return to their owner.
- They are indestructible and do not strain Aegis when he creates them, excluding when he uses Heaven's Divide: Fragmentation Break.
- When Kanshou & Bakuya are wielded, some of Aegis' special offensive techniques (Those whose name starts with Hiken) have a different execution and/or different effect, as a result of having his "full potential unlocked". (Details stated in Hiken techniques' Strengths list)
- Being not weapons Aegis carries, but recreations, he can switch to and from them within a mere moment, allowing for dynamic switching between Serenity and the twin swords.
- As S-ranked spell weapons, they are very powerful.
Weaknesses:
- Short reach. (Both swords are about as long as Aegis' arm)
- They do not have a cross guard, so using only one of them to perform a sword lock is highly risky and arguably stupid.
- Despite having his Hiken techniques become different when wielding Kanshou and Bakuya, many of them share a cool-down with the original version of the technique.
- Only effective as close range weapons when both are wielded at once.
- Due to their lack of precision, Tier II Critical Strikes deal only 125% damage and their cuts aren't deep or clean enough to allow the bleeds from Tier I Critical Strikes to stack.

Traits:
- Although treated as one weapon, they are two.
- They can always find each other.
- Each can strike independently, yet they always mirror each other.
- They share a fate.
- They are very sturdy and impact resistant.
Duration: None, as they are magical swords and as such can be used for as long as Aegis wants.
Cooldown: None, for the same reason as the duration.

Name of Technique: Heaven's Divide: Fragmentation Break
Rank: S
Type: Recreation; Ultimate Sword Strategy, Offensive, Anti-Personnel, Guard-Breaker
Description: Aegis uses the same method of acceleration used in Hiken: Shards of Reality as well as the effect of Hiken: Dimensional Multicut to throw both Kanshou and Bakuya in the general direction of the enemy with speeds so absurd that after images of his movements can be seen, but with a purposely offset trajectory meant to pass by the enemy without hitting them. The knight does this 13 times, recreating a new pair of the swords each time, with every throw having a different trajectory. When the last pair is thrown, all 26 swords are positioned on absolutely every side of the enemy- forward, backward, left, right, the four diagonals, above, above and behind, above and forward, above and left, above and right, and all sides in between.
Following that, Aegis makes one final recreation of Kanshou & Bakuya, their Overedge versions, and throws them both directly towards the enemy. Due to the specific nature of the Overedged twin swords causing them to attract their partner sword more than the normal versions of Kanshou & Bakuya, all 26 swords that were previously thrown and were beginning to form arcs in their trajectory due to their attraction to one another get forcefully pulled towards the Overedged ones. As a result, as Kanshou & Bakuya Overedge fly towards their target, all 26 other thrown swords begin flying towards the said target from absolutely all possible directions, at that point forming a shrinking prison of blades. Once the swords converge on the target and strike them, they make a small explosion that deals A-ranked damage and is capable of shattering barriers of up to S-rank.

~Ascension: Overedge~
Casting Fourteen Fragment Break's Ascended version (known as Overedge), instead of performing the sword strategy, Aegis releases a powerful shock of magical energy into the swords, shattering their limiters and causing them to attain their true, Overedge form. While in that form, the twin swords are twice as long as they normally are, have a 50% damage increase of the final damage each attack performed with them does, and are capable of deflecting spells of equal or lower rank to Aegis.

Strengths:
- Incredibly lethal against a single target, should they not have a powerful enough barrier up.
- As all swords hit the enemy at once from all sides, it is very difficult to guard against this technique.
- At it's origin, this technique is meant to "separate the realms of Gods and Men" and pierce "even the gates of Hell and Heaven", thus is a very effective barrier breaker.
- Has a very fast execution. (under 3 seconds)
- Carries a massive element of surprise, since it is something very few will be unfazed by.
Weakness:
- Can only be used against a single person at a time.
- Despite having very fast execution, it can be interrupted should the enemy somehow foresee the attack.
- The individual swords can be deflected.
- Has no additional effects.
- The swords' damage is not boosted.
- Time altering, speed and mobility spells can give the enemy a chance to evade the technique.
Cool-down: 9 posts standard/ 6 posts if Ascension: Overedge is used.
Duration: Under 3 seconds standard/ 6 posts for Ascension: Overedge.
Active range: 100 metres for the standard spell.

Name: Creation: Serenity
Rank: S
Type: Creation; Magical Sword, Requip-type
Description: After managing to successfully create an entity which had not existed before, it was added to the knight's blueprints and eventually became one of his favourite. The said entity is this sword, Serenity.
The Sword

Spoiler:

This sword is one of the two main melee weapons Aegis has. It's a katana with an abnormal blade length of 150 centimetres, in other words, length as great as that of many short spears. Despite its amazing size, it can still be used with ease by it's creator.
Serenity has no apparent special characteristics apart from its length and perhaps its rather distinctive lack of cross guard.
Special Characteristics
When in Aegis' hands, the katana's blade pulses with transparent energy causing the air around it to ripple and distort. When swung, it leaves a trail of distortion in it's trajectory, the rippling air being most intense near the tip of the weapon. Due to that same intense magical energy, the sword is capable of cutting apart any substance that is not strengthened by mana like a hot knife through butter. The sword's swings also show the capability to slice apart gasses, like wind, provided they are of rank lower than S.

Strenghts:
- A weapon of amazing reach and precision, it can be used to take advantage of an opponent's weaknesses and openings with ease.
- Incredibly effective for both lunges and slashes.
- Can be used to perform attacks with very wide ranges.
- Due to its nature of an extremely precise weapon, critical strikes with it deal 200% damage
- It is capable of cleanly and effortlessly cutting any non-magical substance, no matter its length, width or thickness.
- As an S-ranked spell weapon, it is very powerful.
Weaknesses:
- Regardless its range, it is still a melee weapon, thus is useless in a ranged fight.
- No utility
- Due to its length, it may be very difficult to use within a building without destroying the building in the process.
- Can only be used offensively against magical gasses, can not slice through other magic.
- Has no Elemental properties.

Traits:
- Is harder than any other sword.
- Cannot even be phased by non-magical substances.
- Its trajectory and motions are always concealed behind a veil of distortion.
- Its blade can never be dulled, thus its attacks cannot grow weaker.
Duration: None/ requip-type magical sword
Cool-down: None/ requip-type magical sword

Name of Technique: Guardian Knight: Counter-Offensive Style
Rank: S
Type: Sword technique, Passive
Description: When wielding Serenity, Aegis' main fighting style is Counter-Offensive, one which holds a very simple concept at its core. "Always strike second, yet always hit first" or as it is otherwise known, "The best defence is a good offence". Taking advantage of Serenity's characteristics, the azure knight has adopted this fighting philosophy into his combat style and perfected it to a point where its lethality is like none ever seen. Few have ever dared challenge his passive aggression, fewer still have survived to speak of it.

Strengths:
- If Aegis lands a hit while his enemy is in any one of the three stages of an attack (Wind-up, Hit, Recovery), the knight's hit deals 300% final damage.
- Due to his impeccable mastery of the Counter-Offensive combat style, Aegis' attacks that are NOT part of a chain of swings, in other words his individual swings or "pokes", are executed at the speed of Mach 1.5

Weakness:
- While this fighting style is deadly, it only works if Aegis times his attacks to hit at the right moment, otherwise they would deal no extra damage.
- In order to react on time, he must be concentrated as well.
- Attacks that are chained after an initial swing are executed with normal speed, as making combos means Aegis is fighting Offensively, not Counter-Offensively.
Cool-down: None/Passive.

Name: Ascension
Rank: S (Primary Signature Spell)
Type: Manipulation; Empowerment
Description:
The azure knight concentrates on his power for a moment, causing a small amount of air to ripple away from him, accompanied by a dim flash of blue light. Having done that, the next spell Aegis casts will be treated as a spell of the same rank as Ascension's and will have a different execution/effect.

The Ascended versions of spells have a different name as well and are listed in each specific spell's description, not here.

Strengths:
- Grants great variation to the otherwise somewhat linear array of spells Aegis has.
- Allows for a massive element of surprise, considering how a low-level spell might pack the punch of an S-ranked one with this.
- The spells Aegis casts in combination with Ascension still retain their old MP cost.
- Works on Aegis' Secondary Magic spells as well.
Weaknesses:
- Having a different execution or effect might actually be inefficient in many cases, often meaning that it's best to avoid using this spell all together.
- The spells still retain the same cool-down as they would have without the use of Ascension, meaning that spells must be ready to use normally in order to be Ascended.
- Each Ascended spell has different characteristics, meaning that Ascension doesn't necessarily always give a spell direct offensive or defensive capabilities; sometimes, you could say that it takes more than it gives.
- Ascension only affects active spells, not passive ones; with the exception of Mistblade.
Duration: None; After usage, Ascension remains active until Aegis casts a spell.
Cool-down: 4 posts.
