Magic

Primary Magic: Fire
Secondary Magic: Currently N/A
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: A form of Magic that revolves around the use of fire, allowing the caster to conjure, manipulate, and control the element for various purposes. The caster can change the properties of this Magic such as its "form", allowing it to take shape as a gas or solid element. The colour of this Magic can also change, ranging from purple, red, blue and yellow. Fire Magic can also work in a similar fashion to explosives. The caster is able to conjure this element from various parts of their body or from the nearby surroundings, though it is possible for weapons to use fire as well. (Source: Fairy Tail Wiki)

Preferring to get more up close and personal with her opponents, Vanessa is more likely to engulf various parts of her own body in flames in order to inflict damage. An example is her trademark "Paws of the Raging Spirit Tiger" spell, in which she coats her fists in flames before unleashing a deadly combination of punches or attempted grappling. When employing such methods, she tries to sustain the damage she inflicts. Grabbing onto an opponent with both hands wreathed in flames is far more damaging than simply smacking them.

While Vanessa is more efficient using her magic up close, she is not completely averse to using it from afar. She is apt to maintain a stream of low-level fireball spells to distract her opponent or keep them at a specific distance that she can put to her advantage; a combat method known as "zoning".

Strengths:

• Lasting burn damage: Some spells continue to aggravate, cause pain or discomfort for some time after they have been used. This is determined according to the degree of the burn that is inflicted.
  
  
• Diverse Range in Area of Effect: Spells can range from small fireball projectiles and sustained streams of fire to explosive conflagrations encompassing a large area.
  
  
• Self Application: Vanessa is immune to her own fire provided she can maintain control over it (Note, other sources of fire may still harm her, as can her own magic if it slips out of control) and is able to apply it to various parts of her body as a defensive or offensive measure.
  
  
• Ice and Plant: Fire magic is particularly effective against ice, due to its capacity to melt, and plants (Trees, wood, grass, etc.) due to its capacity to burn.
  
  
• Wind: Potential for allies to use such magic to fan the flames, spreading them to cover an even greater area or redirect them towards an opponent.
  

Weaknesses:

• Water and Earth: Water and Earth (Including Sand/Dust, etc.) can be used to extinguish flames. As such, this is an obvious cause of detriment to Vanessa's magic.
  
  
• Unstable: Reckless use of sustained or wide-spread fire magic can quite easily get out of control. Sometimes, the destruction caused is far greater than what was originally intended and can potentially cause self-inflicted harm to Vanessa. This is especially the case in areas prone to fire damage, such as forests or any other environments where fire can spread rapidly.
  
  
• Indiscriminate: More of a potential weakness than anything. While Vanessa is immune to her own fire, others are not. Allies are just as susceptible to damage as her opponents and will need to make sure to keep out of the way of any fire spells that are cast.
  
  
• Wind: Potential for a "backdraft" effect, in which Vanessa's magic is redirected away from an opponent, back towards her, or towards an ally.
  
  
• Anger: If Vanessa loses her temper during a battle, the flames she manifests are more likely to rage out of control, inflicting damage to herself as well as her opponents.
  
  
• Burns up oxygen: Particularly more of a hindrance in confined places. Raging flames will burn up oxygen, making it far more difficult to breath for anyone in the area, including Vanessa who is likely to be in the middle of it all.

Unique Abilities:

• Burn: (D-Rank) As well as the initial damage of a spell, Vanessa's opponent is also inflicted with a Burn status in which they receive small levels of damage over the course of several turns. As a D-Rank ability, this effect deals 5HP of damage per turn for four turns. It's an effect that can be healed with the right kind of magic or suitable salves or potions, etc.
  
  
• Ice-Melt: (D-Rank) An effect that comes into play so long as Vanessa is using a sustained manifestation of fire. (i.e: Using her Paws of the Raging Spirit Tiger spell.) As its name implies, this can melt ice, and halves the damage inflicted by ice spells of the same rank.
  
  
• Warm Up: (D-Rank) A passive effect that comes into play once Vanessa casts any fire spell and lasts for four turns. In cold environments, Vanessa is merely warmed up. However, she can place her hands on anyone or anything to apply the effect on them at the cost of it fading after a single turn. Practical uses include heating up a metal blade to the point it cannot be held by a bare hand. Handy if she wishes to disarm an opponent.

Name: Paws of the Raging Spirit Tiger
Rank: D
Type: Fire (Offensive/Defensive)
Duration: Maximum of three turns.

Description: Vanessa clenches her fist and grits her teeth. Letting out a vicious growl, she unleashes a burst of concentrated fire magic that engulfs her hands. She then proceeds to engage her opponent in unarmed combat.
Strengths:

• Close Quarters Combat: This spell is designed for hand-to-hand combat and will put her at an advantage against mages who specialise in magic-based combat without any real martial arts skills, if she succeeds in getting close enough to them.
  

Weaknesses:

• Two attacks per turn: Use of this spell is restricted to two attacks per turn with her fists (Each hit dealing 10HP of damage), but this does not include regular physical attacks such as kicks or head-butting, etc.

------------------

Name: Fire Bolts
Rank: D
Type: Fire (Offensive)
Duration: Up to three turns at a cost of 10% of MP per turn.
Cooldown: Two turns for every one turn spell is in use.
Description: Vanessa smirks at her opponent and opens her palms to reveal two small, fiery glowing orbs in each hand. She then proceeds to throw these at her opponent in quick succession, rapidly forming up to eight more to maintain a prolonged series of low-level attacks. Each orb deals 5HP of damage.

Strengths:

• Zoning Technique: This spell is ideal as a means to keep an opponent at a certain distance.

Weaknesses:

• Weak Attack: Each orb is roughly the size of a jawbreaker and being struck by one would likely be more annoying than painful.
  
  
• Heavy Use: For this to really have any effect, Vanessa will need to use this spell pretty aggressively. Hitting hard and fast is key.

Weaknesses:

• Blind Spot: Vanessa cannot see through the wall of fire.

Are you planning on filling out your fourth D-Rank spell slot?

Oh yeah... Would it be possible to save that slot for a wee bit later?
