Primary Magic: Incarnate Magic
Secondary Magic: None
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: A magic only attained through meditation and the occasional talk with souls from the otherworld, Incarnate Magic is only capable of being cast by those with strong minds. Buddhi discovered this kind of magic after helping out a friend from being attacked by bandits. While he fought and kept them at bay, a voice spoke to him saying “Let me in your body and I shall help you in your labours.” He accepted the proposal and soon found that he became stronger, faster, and had better reflexes. He didn’t know from that moment he had channelled the mighty soul of Hercules. Incarnate magic in short can allow the caster to house the soul of a legendary hero into their body and allow them to use their abilities. A small side effect is that the personalities of the heroes seep out and causes a condition in the caster’s mind where they now have multiple personalities that activate in certain events.
Buddhi himself has mastered the basics but is still learning as during his time meditating to fully gain control of his powers. It usually takes him around 5 to 10 minutes to channel a specific soul but if he needs a quick switch, he could channel a random hero for only 2 minutes.

Strengths:
- Flexible- because of a large pool of hero souls that he can channel, Incarnate magic can be used for many cases such as a need for information, need for extra strength or speed.
- Useful Outside of Battle- aside from just strengthening the core abilities such as speed, strength and reflexes, it could be used to channel heroes who are cunning, intelligent or have knowledge in a field otherwise unknown to the caster.
Weaknesses:
- Long Cast Times- when channeling specific souls, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to call out and house the soul in question. This is dangerous if the caster requires a quick change unless they use Incarnate Channel: Random
- Causes Insanity- housing souls of heroes can lead to cases of insanity as sometimes their personalities can seep out and affect the caster, causing multiple personality disorders that can change quickly.
- Difficult to Master- just attaining the magic requires one to be strong of mind and can cause a huge strain to the caster if they are inexperienced. Mastering Incarnate magic requires both a large maic power and years of usage in order for the caster to get used to the personalities and magic usage.
Lineage: PROGENY OF NYX:
- Progeny of Nyx:
- Eons ago, the eternal mother of the Night fell in love with a human. Transforming into human form, she eloped with the young mortal and lived with him until the end of his days. Their union bore three healthy kids, one of them specially rare. He had had been endowed with her mother's power, a progeny of Nyx.
Ability: Those who were not skipped by this lineage gets the ability "Night Form". For a brief duration, the user will meta-morph into a humanoid being of pure dark matter. Their body was molded from the fragment of the cosmos, making them virtually indestructible for a few moments.
Usage: Night form can only be activated at night and twice per thread. During this time, your body is virtually immune to magic attacks which are equal to your rank or less (75% damage reduction). Physical attacks won't reach you for they will just pass right through you unless they are enhanced through magic somehow which will still be weakened by the damage reduction given, the drawback is you can't use any attacks or magic during this time. Effect lasts for 2 posts with a 4 post cooldown and can't be deactivated or cancelled.
A lesser version can be used passively in which their body is simply darker than normal, half normal looking half night-like. It reduces damage by 25% in general at night and lets you move 50% faster in shadow while still not able to attack or use magic.
- Legendary Places- Sometimes, when in an area of great significance of a certain hero, channeling the specific hero in the affected area lessens for 3 minutes.
- Legendary Objects- Aside form places, objects of great importance to a certain hero can also lessen the channel time depending on its status. If the object is nearby but broken, the channel time decreases by 1 minute only. If it is broken but held by the caster, it decreases by 2 minutes. If it is intact and nearby, it decreases by 4 minutes. If it is intact and held by the user, it could either be instant or decreased for 5 minutes depending on the average cast time.
- House of Souls- While having a soul housed inside him, he is able to be affected by spells that can only control, attack, defend, or support souls. He is treated both as a human and a soul while in a state of housing a soul.
Spells:
- D-Rank:
- Incarnate Channel-Random:
Rank: D
Type: Partial Takeover
Duration: As long as the caster can manage (D rank mages have a max of 15 posts)
Cooldown: # of posts the caster housed the soul + 1
Description: Buddhi claps his hands together and closes his eyes before a magic circle appears on his forehead for about a few seconds. When he opens his eyes, the magic circle expands and passes through his body as Buddhi now inhabits a random soul of a hero. His abilities increase depending on which spirit he housed. If the soul is a warrior, his physical attacks are empowered along with an increase in skill of the weapon the soul is known for. If the soul is a runner, his speed and reflexes are increased. If the soul is wise hero, his knowledge increases along with his thinking capabilities.
Strengths:- Quick Channel Time- Instead of channeling specific souls, Random can instead pick out any soul to house. Since it takes a shorter amount of time to get a random soul than sorting out every single one to find something specific, the channel time only takes a few seconds before the souls is accepted by the body.
Weaknesses:- Unpredictable- Since it picks out random souls, sometimes an out of place hero is housed. Usually it comes in the form of a heroic writer being housed instead of a warrior while the caster is in a battle.
- Increases Insanity- Adding another soul to the pool can strain the casters mind even more since the random soul has not yet been fully adopted by their thoughts and the danger of their body being fully taken over by the soul increases.

Cooldown: # of posts the caster housed the soul + 1
Description: Buddhi claps his hands and a magic circle appears on his forehead. He channels for abour 5 minutes before the circle expands and passes through his body. Behind him, an apparition of a muscular man wearing a lion fur cape and a lion head cap can be seen before disappearing after several seconds.

Strengths:- Increased Attack- After being empowered by the spirit of Hercules, Buddhi's physical attacks are increased by 10%, dealing more damage than before.
- Damage Reduction- Aside from attack, Buddhi's defense is also increased nullifying simple attacks like punches and kicks. Other physical attacks have their damage reduced by 5%.
Weaknesses:- Rapid Fatigue- Once the spell wears off or the soul is dispelled, all halved damage comes back in the form of fatigue and musular strain. This instantly knocks the user unconscious if they managed to house the soul to their maximum time limit.
- Requires Focus- The spell requires the caster to be immobile for 5 whole minutes while having the ability to move their hands. This can make the caster a sitting duck in situations where they need to channel fast.
- Personality Seepage- Since the soul has been totally accepted by the mind of the caster, the soul's personality seeps and causes the multiple personalities of the caster to be strenghtened rather than contained.
