★ MAGIA EST EX CLOW ★
Other Names:
The Magic of Clow
Caster or Holder:
Lost Holder ★ Summons
Description:
This magic, and all the items created around it, originally belonged to someone by the name of Clow. But was for unknown reasons permission to use it and call it their own was given to Vesta Sartaq (or Majonuki, but prefers Sartaq). A large red book under the 'protection' of a small lion looking creature by the name of Sol Leonis. In it should've been filled with magical cards, also known as Clow Cards. Each one about twelve inches tall and with a magic circle/emblem on the back. Each one holds a different personality, a sentient summon, they can range from be good willed to extremely violent. Most are missing and to be eventually found by the current holder of the Book of Clow.
To fully summon the creature from it's place in the card, her special wand that is often disguised as a key must be used along with a small chant. Whenever it is being casted, a large magic circle will appear at her feet, the same one on the back of the cards and the book. Whenever her spells are being casted, she has about a minute of vulnerability, and an interruption can cause her and maybe her summon pain. Also with a risk of releasing the summon from it's card, setting it free. Which can be hard to return to the card depending on how they act and how attached they are to Vesta. They begin to like her more and more obligated to help the longer she has them and the more she uses them.
Though the card's personalities sometimes tend to range drastically from one another, an ability that all Clow Cards have the ability to help their user predict the future. Their method of fortune-telling is similar to that of tarot cards. The interpretation of the message the Clow Cards relay depends on the magical power of the user. Not useful inside of battle, and probably can't be used during such (mainly just an ability to use in plots and such).
Strengths:
★ Large variety of different types of helpful summons.
★ The more she uses the magic, the more they get attached to her, and the more experience she gets. Lowering the amount of time it takes to cast.
Weaknesses:
★ Chants, wand and cards has to be used to properly use the spells.
★ Is temporarily distracted and unguarded while casting each spell.
★ All summons are sentient, and may not always be so obligated to listen to her.
Lineage:
- Light of Luna:
- Name:
Light of Luna
Description:
Luna goddess of the moon and the hunt favors those who are bold and adventurous. Every 10 years or so, she would descend down from the heavens to bestow a gift to those she deems worthy. Those chosen will receive the gift of light, giving him or her powers to thwart the darkness.
Ability:
Those chosen become wardens of the night. Speed and strength are increased significantly at the night. Basic senses are also heightened. And their most potent ability, Blade of the Goddess, a crescent shaped sword that glows like the crescent moon. The sword is made of pure light energy enabling it to cut through almost anything, including the darkness itself.
Usage:
Both passive and active abilities only take effect at night.
Passive:
Speed and strength increase by 25%. Senses are also greatly heightened.
Active:
Once per battle, user has the ability to Summon the Blade of the Goddess. The Blade can cut through all forms of evil magic, offensive or defensive, provided they are equal to the user's current rank, though it caps at S-Rank. The sword last only for 3 posts and goes on cooldown if used to cut through a dark spell. The sword is treated as an artifact weapon for damage.
Unique Abilities:
Invisibility ★ An ability inherited from one of her mothers, the ability to turn completely invisible to the naked eye, though this doesn't account for sounds made by her.
Enhanced Summoner ★ Instead of the usual 50% speed penalty from having two summons out, it will only be a 25% speed penalty, not being as much as a burden for Vesta to have multiple summons out then others.
Magic Reserves ★ Has 30% more mp then some people her rank, giving her slightly more in her magic reserves.
Star Dress ★ This ability allows the user to instead of summoning, she herself gains the powers from the summon. Gives her a nice outfit change also, to make her look more like the summon I suppose. May still have difficulty wielding some though, depending on what the summon is that she is getting powers from. Still has to go through the whole chanting and staff tricks that she would to normally summon. No other summon can be out whilst this ability is being used.
