Spatial Devourer

Description:

Spatial Devourer is a form of spatial magic that permits the user some level of domination of the area around them as they’re able to manipulate the environment and its perception. It allows the user some passive options such as quicker travel during more peaceful times and the ability to teleport about during combat, while also permitting them to bend or tear space temporarily for offensive or defensive measures. Other offensive, defensive, or supportive options might lie in things stored in an alternate space that the user can call upon or moving objects within the existing environment.

Born from the combination of both of her clans (Cheshire and Barghest) with the aid of one of her ancestors Mao gained this stylized form of spatial magic. Rifts created often appear to sport “teeth” and act like a mouth rather than any proper tear, some of them going so far as to sport ethereal tails (not unlike that of comets) that match Sorrow’s fur or clouds of the ethereal fur might represent created distortions. The magic tends to be more connected to her body, such as the ability to “taste” and actually “devour” things that pass into/through the rifts (even if they merely pass through and leave through another tear she might still remark on the taste of the spell or object). While this variation also tends to leave Mao with an enlarged appetite it grants her the ability to eat anything without repercussions, although not everything will taste great.

As it’s a magic born from her clans and their abilities, some of the magic also derives from some of Mao’s animalistic nature and predisposition towards being a predator, as well as her ancestral forms. While other spatial "devourers" might veer more towards simple destruction of materials or hiding of weapons, her's is used to empower organic weapons that can appear around her body from the tears in space - generally in the form of tendrils, but can have their shape manipulated to a degree as needed (such as petals, stingers, long talons, and so on so forth). These constructs gain their strength from her voracious appetite and some of the unusual materials devoured. Not all things that come forth however are meant to rend and tear, some aspects used instead to help allies in various ways.

Strengths:

• Movement: Being a large part spatial magic (even copying parts of the beast to summon them), the user gains a wider range of movement not only with the occasional teleportation spell in combat, but outside as well. Some places should still be avoided or accessed with patience however, such as locked bathrooms, but otherwise the user is free to go as they please.
  
  
• Spatial Awareness: The magic leaves the user hyper aware of the things going on around them to the point they have to actively ignore or train themselves to lower the senses so as not to be overwhelmed. This does grant them awareness of things going on around them however, making it trickier to sneak up on the practitioner or do things without their knowledge.
  
  
• Devour: Every so often a mouth can manifest to eat an inanimate object, from a heap of dirt to a tree. Devoured objects are either used to keep Mao’s appetite under control or for the sake of spells.
  

Weaknesses:

• Casualties: It can be just as potentially harmful to allies as it can be helpful if they wander into the path of quick or wide-ranged spells. Nothing like a little love bite.
  
  
• Diet Clause: Despite such a good digestive system summons and requip items cannot be devoured. Takeover magic also can’t be logically devoured, making it an annoying magic to fight.
  
  
• Elements: Lacking any elemental basis, neither suffer additive damage from elemental spells. Without elemental inclinations they do not gain any strengths either.
  
  
• Voracious Appetite: Perhaps due more to the appetite of the bonded entity than the actual usage of the magic, it does leave the user with quite the hunger at times if she can’t keep on top of it. Become too hungry and everything and anyone might start to look tasty.

Unique Abilities:
Immune System: Thanks to Sorrow’s built up immunity system, Mao’s body becomes more resistant towards pathogens and toxins thanks to their bond. Every three posts she can feast on a status condition and heal 5% from it. She no longer falls prey to food-based illness, but is aware of how it affects a dish taste-wise.

Questionable Digestion: Sorrow is a devourer, near constantly eating with little else to do. Gaining the ability from her ancestor, the constant chowing provides Mao with a passive 2% health regen while the greed also boosts the efforts of healing spells from others, increasing their effects by 50% by converting extra food. With the exception of requip items and summons, there is little else Mao’s spatially-enhanced stomach cannot digest and feel satisfied from.

Predator Arsenal: Capable of creating up to four malleable tendrils from tears in space near her body that can stretch up to 8 meters. While she can control whether they're smooth as silk or hardened with spikes, at the cost of distance she can turn them into temporary shields, taking on a petal-like form though they only reach up to 4 meters. At S-rank she gains an additional two tendrils.

Cheshire Whims: Though the blood of the Cheshire Cat tends to be less obvious, acting more as an enhancement/augmentation to other bloodlines, those of the Cheshire Cat always have some form of free movement. This allows Mao to teleport and access places that might be harder to travel too, however in pvp duels the ability can only be used once per post.

Barghest’s Calling: Once every three posts, Mao can recall one of her spells to her, causing anything between it and her to take half the spell’s rank in damage. Normally she’s able to manipulate her spells however, but without added damage.
