Name: Raijin Dharma
Rank: Artifact(+)
Type: Back Plate, attaches to armor
Description: This item is unique, deemed for its creator as the “Lightning God's Wheel”, Is a intricately designed item, Having 12 Spear like extensions from a circle made of Titanium hued in a slight yellow color. It attaches to any armor at the back, replacing the spot where one might where a cape or mantle. This item seems to only accept Lightning Mages, as its orientation is such.
Strengths:
-Grants the user a stacking buff
-Attaches to an armor easily, or clothing
made of titanium, so its extra durable and hard to break, effectively shielding the back.
Titanium is non-magnetic
Weaknesses:
-Rejects non Lightning users, as it was blessed by the God of Lightning and Thunder
Hinders sight when looking back slightly due to the spear items connecting in the middle of the back, giving the user a looking through bars feel
Reduces backwards arm motions, making it harder to deal with enemies from behind
After 5 ice spells to one location, the titanium becomes brittle.
Bulky, sometimes causing a bit of a hassle
Abilities:

Name: Dharma Charging
Rank: S
Type: Buff
Description: This ability takes a small bit of lightning from lightning spell cast within 30m of the wearer or any lightning spell that targets the wearer, boosting Lightning damage by 5% spell rank damage. Spells cast by the user provide a small amount more, Providing a 10% boost. As the Dharma gains charge, it slowly starts to glow  brighter from the lightning charging it, causing the user to become more illuminated. This passively lights up dark areas, but also hinders the user from hiding. While this doesn't cause the spell to be less potent, it can cause people in between the Dharma and the caster to get hit by the lightning instead, doing D rank damage to those in between and causing the charge to be lost. The buff stacks up to 100%. If another charge is gained after this, the buff will discharge causing Dharma Unleashed. If Dharma Unleashed has already been used this thread, the buff only stacks to 75%, effectively not allowing another Dharma Unleashed to take place Unfortunately, I can't allowed the buff to be stacked up to 100%, a 100% buff is not allowed; this most I can allow for is a max of 50%.
Strengths:
-Damage boost from lightning spells cast from user or those surrounding them
-Causes damage to any who try to get in the way of the draw of lightning
-Lights up the area the more it is charged
Weaknesses:-
-Allies can be hit by the lightning if they are in between the Dharma and the spell being cast
-If someone is in the way of the small bit of lightning collected, the charge is not gained
-Buff stacks at a low rate
-The more of a charge this item holds, the harder it is for the user to hide
-Damage from lightning spells cast at the wearer are not reduced in damage
Cool Down: 3 posts after Dharma Unleashed
Duration: Until Dharma Unleashed is utilized
If Dharma Unleashed has been used, reduces buff to 50%


Name: Dharma Unleashed
Rank: S
Type: Buff to Area
Description: When Dharma Charging is charged above 100%, its charge up is unleashed, cloaking the user in pure lightning, spreading from a radius around him 10m out, singing the ground. This lightning increases the effects of the Lightning based spells the wearer uses 2.5 times in strength due to the surge of power for one post, super charging the spell and increasing the speed of the spell by 50%. This can only be used once per thread, as the Dharma needs time to gain proper charge again. The buff from Dharma's Charge is lost when Dharma Unleashed is activated. It will take 3 posts for it to start charging again after the discharge.
Strengths:
- Increases the effects of spells cast the post it unleashes in
-Can overwhelm an enemy with the sheer power of spells
Weaknesses:
-Buff from Dharma Charging is lost
-Takes a lot of charges to achieve
Only works once per post
Can only be used if conditions are met
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: Once per thread

After 5 ice spells to one location, the titanium becomes brittle. This isn't really much of a weakness since all Artifact (+) have an increased durability than other weapons. Artifact weapons have a durability of 180HP, which means they can withstand 3 A-rank spells at most. I don't know if that makes sense or not~

Abilities:

Name: Dharma Charging
Rank: S
Type: Buff
Description: This ability takes a small bit of lightning from lightning spells cast within 30m of the wearer, any lightning spell that targets the wearer, or any spell cast by the wearer; reducing damage recieved by 5% and boosting spell damage by 5%. As the Dharma gains charge, it slowly starts to glow  brighter from the lightning charging it, causing the user to become more illuminated. This passively lights up dark areas, but also hinders the user from hiding. While this doesn't cause the spell to be less potent, it can cause people in between the Dharma and the caster to get hit by the lightning, doing D rank damage to those in between and causing the charge to be lost. The buff stacks up to 50%. If another charge is gained after this, the buff will discharge causing Dharma Unleashed. As a small clarification, armors already take half the damage of the spell, giving you the reduced amount of damage they block. So, I don't know if you want to remove this or not, because this puts you at 100% DR, which isn't something that can be passed, as it's caused a lot of issues in the past. If you still want to keep it, please place a rank scaling since the 50% would be at S-rank and abilities only work at user-rank if you are lower than the armor's abilities' ranks.
Strengths:
-Damage boost from lightning spells cast from user or those surrounding them
-Causes damage to any who try to get in the way of the draw of lightning
-Lights up the area the more it is charged
-Provides some damage reduction
Weaknesses:-
-Allies can be hit by the lightning if they are in between the Dharma and the spell being cast
-If someone is in the way of the small bit of lightning collected, the charge is not gained
-Buff stacks at a low rate
-The more of a charge this item holds, the harder it is for the user to hide
-Damage from lightning spells cast at the wearer are not reduced in damage
Cool Down: 3 posts after Dharma Unleashed Please fix this upon fixing the duration
Duration: Until Dharma Unleashed is utilized This needs a solidified duration. For S-rank, max duration is 10 posts.



Name: Dharma Unleashed
Rank: S
Type: Buff to Area
Description: When Dharma Charging is receives a charge after it has already reached 50%, its charge up is unleashed, cloaking the user in pure lightning, spreading from a radius around him 10m out, singing the ground. This lightning increases the effects of the Lightning based spells the wearer uses 2.5 times in strength due to the surge of power for one post No. Increasing damage by 2.5x is not acceptable. The most I can allow is a 50% increase to damage with a rank scale up to the 50% at S-rank., super charging the spell and increasing the speed of the spell by 50%. This can only be used once per thread Depending on what you change the other ability's duration to, this can be used up to 2x per thread, as the Dharma needs time to gain proper charge again. The buff from Dharma's Charge is lost when Dharma Unleashed is activated. It will take 3 posts for it to start charging again after the discharge.

- Increases the effects of spells cast the post it unleashes in
-Can overwhelm an enemy with the sheer power of spells
Weaknesses:

Can only be used if conditions are met

The buff stacks up to 50%. If another charge is gained after this, the buff will discharge causing Dharma Unleashed. During Dharma Unleashed, this buff goes on cool down until 3 posts after it finishes. The Dharma takes time to recharge properly, during which time if the buff reaches 50% a second time, it will remain at 50% until it can properly release again. During which time, it will only draw the needed charges until the cool down is reached.
Strengths:
-Damage boost for spells

Talked with staff and Seijin stated that Magic Items are only allowed supportive passives, which can also be found in the rules at the bottom of the post in Physical Body, Equipment, and Pet Rules. I absolutely hate doing this to you since we talked about it yesterday, but I completely and utterly forgot to tell you about that rule for Magic Items since you said this was the Magic Item. This means that they're more for buffs than anything else. Passive also means you do not need a duration/cooldown on them as that is what makes them active instead of passive. Evidence of ruling.
