Tools of the Trade

• Works were magic will not, and is not magic.
  
• Helps John excel at not being detected and taking out enemies quietly.
  

• John lacks the magical sensory ability.
  
• Does not allow for limit transcendence
  
• Does not allow for spell mixing, spell fusions, or unison raids
  
• Probably won't work on ghosts and other stuff like that
  

• Well Armed- With his variety of carried weapons, implanted weapons, and martial arts techniques, John's physical attacks are always treated as though he had the best available weapon for his rank, which can function at a range of 15/30/50/75/100 meters at D/C/B/A/S and H rank. Due to this ability, John's physical attacks take a variety of forms, ranging from martial arts techniques and use of implanted melee weapons to wielding a knife, to firing guns. The downside to this ability is that John is unable to buy and use weapons from the armory. Any weapons  or items he wins, buys, purchases, or is given must be converted into signature spells, and he does not receive the MP boost for + grade equipment.
  
  
• Defensive Implants- John's equipment and implants include titanium mesh lacing over his bones, advanced biofibers woven into his skin, and hardened plastic and ceramic fiber plates implanted under his skin at vital areas, as well as simple body armor. The combined effect of these implants and armor grant him damage reduction as though he had the best armor available to his rank. Due to the fact that Tools of the Trade involve the use of armor, any armor John buys, purchases, wins, or is given must be converted into signature spells.
  
  
• Improved Detection Methods- While John does not have access to any magical sensory devices, he does have access to a wide variety of other sensory methods, including radar, ultrasound. His hearing ranges are expanded to hear frequencies significantly above and below normal human hearing range. His eyes include 16 different color receptive cones, allowing him to see colors that only Mantis Shrimp are capable of seeing normally, and expands his vision range into the infrared and ultraviolet spectra. He can also detect polarized light and multispectral images.
  
  
• Wired Reflexes- With a highly invasive and painful procedure, John has had his nervous system literally rewired, his nerves laced with and segments of his vertebrae replaced with superconductors, with the remaining flesh supercharged with neuroboosters and adrenaline simulators. His movements are re-coordinated and made more precise with computer assistance and his mind hypercharged with wires leading across the brain along with a multitude of neural-enhancing chemicals. As a result of this modification, John is significantly faster and more precise in his reactions and movements than a normal human. As his body adjusts to the implants, he can ramp them up to more extreme levels. This grants John a 20/30/40/50/60% boost to his agility/reaction/speed/similar attributes.

Primary Magic: Tools of the Trade
Secondary Magic: ---
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Due to past circumstances, John has had a large portion of his soul ripped out of him, stripping the once powerful mage of all of his abilities. Needing a way to survive against the forces that did this to him, but lacking magic, he turned to the next best thing: technology. Traveling to Bosco, he spent the entirety of his life savings on equipment and cyberware, accepting even the most invasive of techniques and implants, anything to give him an edge up. As he gets more and more implants, they chip away little by little at what's left of him, detaching him from reality and altering his emotional state. Cybernetic enhancements aren't all he uses, though. He combines 'ware with other equipment and martial arts techniques to make himself a formidable opponent. All of Johns equipment, cyberware, and techniques are entirely mundane in nature.

Due to the fact that John's "magic" is entirely technological in nature, he does not have MP. John's non-signature "spells" all draw power from the same implanted microfusion breeder battery implanted inside of him. He starts off at 100% power, which decreases according to normal "spell" cost and regenerates at the normal 2% per post/10% every 5 posts.
Strengths:

• Works were magic will not.
  
• Helps John excel at not being detected and taking out enemies quietly.
  

Weaknesses:

• John lacks the magical sensory ability.
  
• Does not allow for limit transcendence
  
• Does not allow for spell mixing, spell fusions, or unison raids
  

Lineage:     Zeus' Decedent:
   Description: There once was a powerful mage who called himself Zeus the Mighty. During a magical lightning storm, he got struck by lightning twice at the same time. He miraculously survived and gained the ability to redirect electricity and magical current, and passively gained the ability to resist it. His descendants inherited this power but it grew weaker with every generation, so only certain spells could be redirected.
   Ability: Can redirect any lightning based spells that equal the user's rank or less(S Max) by spending the MP the spell would cost them for their rank to cast it plus half. Also grants the user a 25% resistance to any and all lightning-based spells, regardless of spell rank. They gain a single user-ranked lightning spell (S Max) or a user-ranked minus one signature lightning spell (A Max) in addition to their spells.
   Usage: Redirection has a 4 post cooldown and the rest are passive.

Note: The abilities of this lineage, for John are non-magical in nature, as he has recreated the effects using cyberware and equipment.
