Tertiary Magic: Transformation Magic
Description
A magic that allows the user to Transform into other people. The more they know the person, or look at the person, the more effective the transformation. Prolonged exposure to a persons scent, visage, and voice will increase the potency of the transformation into said person. Even clothing and voice can be mimicked. Every detail about said person can be eventually harnessed by a powerful wizard.
Strengths: A fun ability to use. Can be used to turn into the opposite Sex. Great for parties or having fun, or infuriating people. Good for escape or confusing people in social settings. Hera is next to a supercomputer when it comes to recalling voices. Hera is great at remembering peoples taste in clothing. Hera is great at recalling peoples mannerisms, and habits, and reactions in certain situations. Can be used to turn into people the user sees in magazines or on TV if reading or watching for awhile.
Weaknesses: All transformations can be broken by Spells or damage Equivalent to the Rank of the Transformation Spell used. Lower ranked Transformation enchantments don't mimic peoples clothing, or voices, or mannerisms. Hera doesn't learn anything about the people she turns into, and doesn't know their current dealings or anything of that nature. Must study what a person looks like, or know a person well for higher ranked transformations that mimic; clothing, voice, and mannerisms. Any possessions, mimicked such as swords, clothing, or jewelry doesn't have any of the properties the real items have, and are non magical. The spells still use Magic Power to cast. Can't be used to copy the Magic of the person you transformed into if that person is a wizard.
Spells:
- S-Ranked Spell:
Name: Reflection
Rank: S
Type: Transformation
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 7 Posts
Description: Hera after staring at a person, studying, or being able to look at illustrations of a person or individual creature for five minutes, turns into a perfect doppleganger of them, down to their voice, clothes, and mannerisms. This transformation can only be broken by Hera sustaining damage equivalent to her own Rank, or Hera being surprised in certain ways that break her concentration.
Strengths: Turns Hera into another person. Doesn't need to know the person before hand to turn into them. Is a self sustaining enchantment, and good for long term use when on missions where concealing identity is useful. Mimics clothing, mannerisms, and voice.
Weaknesses: Can't be used to copy Magic, even though this is a downside, it's even worse when someone wants to confirm identity by the use of the Magic the person you're transformed into uses. Can be broken by taking enough damage, breaking the enchantment. Meaning, Hera would need to refocus on that person for another five posts to turn into them perfectly. If broken, it has a rather high cooldown.
- A-Ranked Spell:
Name: Heero
Rank: A
Type: Transformation
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 6 Posts
Description: Turns Hera into a perfect doppleganger of her Father, Heero.
Strengths: Useful for intimidating people, as Hera has found that her Father has quite the reputation not only in the Magical world, but also in the underworld of crime, he is quite respected. Useful for intimidation. Hera usually cannot be uncovered by any Magical means due to knowing the mannerisms, and information about her Father to a Tee such as birthdays or life experiences. Their magic power is also near identical and registers as the same even when magical sensory spells or machinery are at work. Spiritually, they are also connected, so spirit sight fails against this transformation as well. Voice and choice of clothing is also perfect, and impossible to tell apart even if Hera were standing next to the real Heero, frozen inside Lumen Histoire.
Weaknesses: Hera although great at mimicking Heero, is no man herself and can't perfectly react as he would in every situation. Although she reads her father's journals religiously and even learned to perfect her Slayer fighting from it, she doesn't know absolutely everything he knew, even from his private journals and some if not most of the time; her own personality comes through unless she's deliberately trying to imitate his habits. Can be broken by Hera taking damage equivalent to the Rank of the Spell. If broken, it has an above average cooldown.
- B-Ranked Spell:
Name: Rival or Mentor Transformation
Rank: B
Type: Transformation
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 5 Posts
Description: Turns Hera into a teacher, enemy, or rival she knows well or has engaged in battle with on multiple occasions. Can also be used on a Wizard who Hera has been in battle with for more than 5 minutes. Can also be used to turn into someone that Hera has been in a duel with.
Strengths: Turns Hera into an enemy, rival, or mentor that alone comes with a ton of fun benefits. Mimics voice, clothing, mannerisms, and possessions down to a tee. Great for confusion or infiltration.
Weaknesses: Hera still doesn't know what her enemies, or rivals know, and is still herself underneath the transformation. Can be broken by taking damage equal to the Spell, so although it is tempting to use for infiltration, it can also be very dangerous to do so due to this fact. If broken it has a decent cooldown.
- C-Ranked Spell:
Name: Crowd Transformation
Rank: C
Type: Transformation
Duration: 7 Posts
Cooldown: 10 Posts
Description: Hera picks someone out of a crowd and stares them down for ten to fifteen seconds depending on the detail of their outfit. Hera then listens carefully to their voice for another ten seconds before transforming into said person.
Strengths: Mimics voice. Great to use within crowds, a Transformation that can be used over a distance. Great for getaways in crowds.
Weaknesses: Doesn't mimic clothing, or mannerisms. Only lasts 7 minutes in real time. Can be seen through quite easily by an observant person, or one who knows Hera's mannerisms.
- D-Ranked Spell:
Name: Stranger
Rank: D
Type: Transformation
Duration: 5 Posts
Cooldown: 7 Posts
Description: Turns Hera into a person she's only just seen. She will still be wearing her own clothing however, and her voice will still sound like herself. The mannerisms, and habits of the person are completely unknown to her as well.
Strengths: Can turn into a passing stranger with only a glance, a very fast spell and enchantment.
Weaknesses: Doesn't mimic voice, clothing, or mannerisms. Only lasts 5 minutes in real time. Can be seen through quite easily by an observant person, or one who knows Hera's mannerisms. Can't be used for another 7 posts / minutes after the enchantment fades.
