Serpent Dark Arts: Snake Sage
Primary Magic Tsuuki Lost Magic
Description
The Serpent Dark Arts is a lost magic that has been lost throughout the ages for many different reasons. The magic is found within five different scrolls, each are extremely rare to find or obtained. However, the Hebisuki family obtained theses scrolls, which is then passed down from family member to family member. Luckily for Orochi, he was a member of this family, and when his father died the scrolls were passed down to him. In order to properly channel the magic, the caster must go through the process of having his body transformed into the white serpent. The process is started by the caster using the first scroll to locate the white serpent sage, then the caster is bitten by the serpent stage which starts the transformation process. If the transformation process is complete the caster is transformed into the white serpent, if the transformation process fails the caster will die and eaten by the snake sage. Once the caster has been transformed, they must then inhabit a human body in order to survive or continue as a human. This process should not be mistaken for caster magic because the white serpent is the embodiment of the caster's spirit and soul; meaning that the serpent is now the caster. Once the transformation is complete, the caster can move on to learning the rest of the magic.
Because the snake moves along the ground, many connect the creature to the earth's most primal energy and the force of creation itself. The serpent are also a symbol of rebirth, transformation, immortality, and healing; via the shedding of their skins. The manipulations ranges from manipulating the caster's body on the molecular level and giving the caster serpent like features, transforming the caster's appendages into serpents or summoning serpents from the hebi dimension, manipulating natural energies in order to manipulate the landscape, create poisons, healing allies, or reanimating fallen foes or allies. However, some techniques require the caster to experiment on his body; which could be a risk on its on. Thus it all depends on the caster's body modifications, and the user's level of mastery over the magic. From both the variety of manipulations, and the dangerous experimentation on the caster himself; it is no wonder why this is considered a lost magic.

Unique Abilities

- Unique ability 2:
- Malleable Bones: The malleable bones ability is another one of the many body modifications the caster will experience. Similar to the body soften physique ability, the caster makes his bones permanently malleable. Making it almost impossible for the caster's bone to break, this makes him rather difficult to defeat. It doesn't just make his bones almost unbreakable, but it also allows the caster to take a beating and keep on fighting. The caster gains a 25% damage reduction that increases by 10% each rank; once it reaches 50% the reduction has reached its caps and thus cannot increase again.
- Unique ability 3:
- Basic Venom: The basic venom is the venom given to all of the serpents that the caster either summons, or when the caster transforms his hands into serpents. The venom is delivered through the bite of the serpent, it deals 20% of rank damage for 2 post. The venom can only be delivered through the bite of either a serpent that is summoned, or if the caster himself bites the target. In order to activate the ability the caster would need to sacrifice 5 points of mana; the ability has a 3 post cool-down per summon.
