Battle Born | Sensō no Yōki | 戦争の容器

Concept
Chivalric Ascension heavily unlocks Dubhlainn’s true capabilities as a fighter, completely rewrites all previous spells under “Glorious Monochrome” and embodies the concept of the Knight, Sir Lancelot Du Lac, one of the great Knights of the Round Table.  In this form, Dubhlainn is granted the concept of “to eliminate advantages” to which it was believed that Lancelot eliminated key targets that would have posed a threat to the knights and army of Cornwall. When King Arthur faced Mordred, Lancelot wasn't present because he was intercepted and rejected by Gawain.  


Appearance
Chivalric Ascension eliminates any benefit Shadowed Glory has of complete concealment of information, to which instead of a black and hazy mist, comes a magical aura that can be visible to the naked eye. While the Shadowed Glory ability hides and conceals all information about Dubhlainn's magic and personal information, Chivalric Ascension reveals his magic and unleashes his true potential as a Battle Born Knight.

Usage
Chivalric Ascension cannot access any of the previous spells used by Shadowed Glory, and new set of spells would later be introduced instead. Any harmful effects casted on Dubhlainn by a spell or an ability equivalent to his rank are automatically dispelled by this aura but Dubhlainn loses 1% of his Mana for each harmful buff dispelled and loses 3% for those of the same rank.

Chivalric Ascension can switch Dubhlainn to Shadowed Glory anytime.

Concept
Of the many exploits of Lancelot Du Lac, his winning fame and glory by concealing his own name and status, such as when he hid his name and disguised himself to enter a horse race for the sake of his friend's honor.

Appearance
The mist-like illusion also causes his image to double or triple randomly, making him appear to be some kind of hallucination and is often mistaken as a phantom and the most recent description of him was like that of a dullahan because nobody can see what his face really looked like. Even if he decides to take of the helmet, as long as the black mist remains, his face will absolutely have no expression on it because his physical appearance counts as personal information concealed.

Usage
One of the core abilities of his magic that shrouds the mage in some kind of curse which is materialized in a form of black mist, completely disrupting clairvoyant abilities to identify any kind of information about him. No one can identify his true name, sex and personal status with the excluding information to his affiliations such as the said guild, weight, height which can be exposed, because of hazy mist and the tendency for his image to double and triple randomly, its possible for one to even mistaken the striking distance between them and Dubhlainn himself.

Concept
Dubhlainn’s actual origins are unknown at this point, even to him. However even before having been turned to a Super Soldier, he has the magical potential to reject magical influence and reduce damage to all kinds of magic whereas it was originally called “Magic Resistance”. Having his body subjected to experimentation and infusion with what they call Demi-human essences, his magical resistance is no longer universal rather gains resistance to only a specific kind of magic at a time.

Conditions
Upon being hit by a spell of a certain kind of magic, gains 20% resistance to that certain kind of magic only. If the mage is a Demi-human, he gains 15% resistance to their magic instead. Resistance to that certain type of magic persists till he’s been hit by another kind of magic. If the magic has an element, it gains resistance to the element itself.

Further explanations
In order to carry out Adaptable Resistance passive, the moment magic is struck, is the moment his own magic and body reads the signature of the target's magic, altering and shifting to resist it and because of it any target that matches the magic's signature will be detected regardless of stealth abilities and visual obstruction.

He was a product of a successful experiment which gave him enhanced physical capabilities thus increases strength, endurance and agility parameters by 15% of the normal average soldier or mage. This increases by another 15% per rank. Increase in parameters may grant him the ability to achieve feats that not even the regular human mage can.

D	15% bonus	makes it possible for him to break hardwood and damage hard lamp posts.
C	20% bonus	makes it possible for him to break through a wall or pretty much destroy it.
B	25% bonus	makes it possible for him to hurl objects as heavy as a car.
A	30% bonus	makes it possible for him to survive a fatal blow.
S	35% bonus	Greatly enhances his reflexes and reduces reaction time
SS	40% bonus	Allows him to jump 15 feet off the ground
H	45% bonus	Something beyond human limitations.

As the Unique ability dictates, Dubhlainn gains a surge of power each time he cast spells from a series. The following effects will manifest:

Merciless King
While he’s under the effects of Black Fury spell series, Dubhlainn gains a rage bar, each time he attacks or is attacked, his rage bar increases by 5 rage points and gains 5 per post, these points are then later used and consumed by spells. If the Rage bar hits a hundred percent, he goes in a state of merciless fury, preventing him from turning to his Ascension form regardless. Because of how much rage and pressure he suffers, 5% of his current hitpoints are then consumed in order to activate. Merciless fury give Dubhlainn a huge bonus on all physical parameters raising them all by 40%, Merciless King ends when the rage bar is empty, 10 rage points per post is consumed and can be replenished by simply attacking opponents or being attacked by them.

When Merciless King Ends, he losses 10% of his strength, endurance and agility parameters and regains them in 5 posts.

The Grand Duelist
While under the effects of the Knight’s Valor spell series, Dubhlainn gains an honor’s bar, any damage he delivered while wearing Valor is added to the honor’s bar. When the honor bar reaches a hundred honor points, he gains bonus endurance and agility based on the last knight of valor spell activated and gains all the spell effects the knight ‘s valor series can give. Knight of honor’s bar decays at 10 honor points per post. The Knight’s Valor spell series or Shadowed Honor ability cannot be casted while at this state

When Grand Duelist ends, all bonus status on all his physical parameters are lost, they will then be regained upon the next 3 posts.

Type: Supportive spell, Time Magic
Duration: 1 post per cast.
Cooldown: (Relatively no Cooldown if not casted simultaneously) 3 posts and 2 posts to break cast succession.

Description: The spell gives Dubhlainn the ability to internalize a reality marble, a world of illusion, in Dubhlainn’s body, completely altering his perception of time. This in turn allows Dubhlainn to move faster at a given rate and because time passes so slowly for Dubhlainn, he can outmaneuver an opponent or evade an attack. Unlike most spells from time magic, an internalized time spell can be so hard to predict when it’s activated for opponents. It can be cast to stack up to three times(10% Bonus Agility per cast), depending on the situation, and if the spell is casted three times in succession, Dubhlainn loses all bonus agility giving him a minus 15% agility until the cooldown has been restored.

Strengths:

• This by far is the only spell that allows Dubhlainn to combat any speed based opponent and ranged opponent without trouble, increasing reaction time and instincts greatly.  If by chance Dubhlainn is slowed down by spell effects, this can be casted in order to compensate for agility that he lost.
  
• More or less the usage of this spell for Dubhlainn would naturally be used to surprise opponents who have memorized Dubhlainn’s agility, moreover combined with one of his unique abilities; it would make his appearance more phantom-like in general and causes his image to blur.
  
• Attack Speed is another benefit given to Dubhlainn while using this spell, if Dubhlainn successfully lands a blow to an opponent, this spell can be cast to attack them repeatedly, increasing Dubhlainn’s damage output.
  

Weaknesses:

• There’s a limit to how many times the spell can be casted, if it were casted twice, Dubhlainn gains 20% agility for the next 2 posts, casting it a third time will cause heavy strain to Dubhlainn’s body, to which if the spell were to end at that point, his movement will be slowed down, requiring him to take a short rest for a brief period. Suppressing Dubhlainn at that point puts him in a great disadvantage.
  
• Some of his spells and Unique Abilities gives him bonus agility given the situation that he uses it, however if this spell were abused, all those bonus agility will disappear regardless of the time agility modifiers are casted.
  
• Its imperative to force Dubhlainn to strain himself at half health, given that one successfully dodges his attacks, increases their chance of victory, however one must practice caution, Dubhlainn tends to time this benefit well.
  
• Its practically useless for Dubhlainn to cast this spell if he’s completely immobilized on all fours.
  

Concept
One of the core abilities of his magic, once Dubhlainn grabs hold of anything that can be even remotely conceptualized as a weapon by his own recognition and wishes to wield it, it instantly gains the property of becoming his weapon. It can only be activated for objects recognized as “this is a weapon”. He couldn't utilize an aircraft carrier, as its role as weapon transportation is higher than that as a weapon, even something as worthless as a piece of scrap iron can turn into something similar to a demonic weapon (If the original weapon can change form that is). It also prevents degradation of fighting skills when under the effect of mental hindrance.


Appearance
This ability soaks the affected items with Dubhlainn’s magical energy, muddled with bloodthirstiness and hatred that permeates from his hands as the weapons appearance gradually change, tainted black and covered in a spider web pattern of black veins, look alien and repulsive compared to their normal forms, increasing their durability temporarily till he discards the weapon. They will remain under Dubhlainn’s control till he let’s go of the selected weapon, after 2 posts, the discarded weapon will return to its original form

Weapon Status as of the August Update
Having unlocked a weapon's damage potential, weapons under the influence of Honor with Arms may deal more damage than what the weapon originally can deal out. These effects persist as long as Dubhlainn holds on to them.


Strengths:

• Dubhlainn has the ability to takeover anything that he deems as a weapon, while the weapon is under his control, it gains bonus damage and durability based on the weapon itself, increasing his damage output.
  
• Vessels or mechanical entities that counts as a weapon can come under the spell's control, increase hitpoints and damage output.
  
• This is one of Dubhlainn's core magics, he's basically a threat while armed, the more powerful the weapon he has under his control, the greater his damage and weak weapons don't cost any mana.
  

Weaknesses:

• Weapons that are classed higher then weak weapons require a mana cost, the higher the class of the weapon the greater the cost.
  
• Vessels cost a lot of the caster's mana but once the vessel is destroyed, it seals Dubhlainn's defeat, completely reducing hitpoints and mana dramatically.
  
• Some weapons maybe heavy or too powerful to use, hence wielding heavy weapons may leave him at the mercy of speed based opponents.
  
• Powerful weapons are automatically free from Dubhlainn's control upon discarding them or having been disarmed.
