by Name:
Hoshi no Tama
Rank:
Strong (+)
Type:
Orb
Description:
The Spirit Orb of a Kitsune, the Hoshi no Tama is a mass of spiritual energy condensed and compressed to the point of behaving like a semi-physical object, although even so it will still hover mid-air and follow the owner around. It looks a lot like what it actually is, a sphere in which mystical energy swirls.
The owner can make it look like a normal ball, mostly for when they don't want to stand out.

Description:
The Spirit Orb of a Kitsune, the Hoshi no Tama is a mass of spiritual energy condensed and compressed to the point of behaving like a semi-physical object, although even so it will still hover mid-air and follow the owner around. It looks a lot like what it actually is, a sphere in which mystical energy swirls.
The owner can make it look like a normal ball, mostly for when they don't want to stand out.
Strengths:
- It's effectively weightless in its undisguised form.
- If not disguised it'll automatically follow the Kitsune around unless someone else takes it from her.
- The fact that it can easily be disguised as a normal ball means it's easy to hide as something unimportant.
Weaknesses:
- It stands out a lot when not disguised.
- While it will follow the Kitsune around by default others can grab it and thus take 'ownership' of it (although it still effectively is the Kitsune's orb).
- If disguised it no longer hovers and gains a weight, so the Kitsune will have to actually carry it about.
- Those who know the legend of the Kitsune's Hoshi no Tama might try to steal such a powerful magical object.
Abilities:
- Essence Orb:
The Hoshi no Tama is filled with spiritual and magical essence, having a separate mana pool of the same size as the Kitsune's. Every post the Kitsune can drain up to 20% magic power from the orb. The orb has no regeneration of its own but can freely be infused with more magic power until it's full.
At the start of the thread the orb is always empty.
- Mystical Orb:
Using power drained from the orb the Kitsune can enhance their magic. By taking as much magic power as it took to cast the original spell the Kitsune can increase one effect of the spell (damage, range, radius, etc.) by 75%. The effect of this enhancement is reduced by 25% for every Rank the original spell is above B-Rank.
