Skeleton Key Magic

Magic

Primary Magic: Skeleton Key Magic
Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Skeleton Key Magic is incredibly rare, not because it's 'lost' or anything like that, but because it is entirely unique to Ashleen. Originally, it was also known by an elderly mage who lived in the village where Ashleen grew up. After teaching it to her though, he passed away, leaving to her the responsibility of developing it and passing it on.

Skeleton Key Magic is named after it's most notable feature, which is the magical ability to lock and unlock nearly anything, literally or figuratively, using keys that are generated by the user. These generated keys can be any shape, as long as it's still identifiable as a key, and can range in size based on power and the desire of the creator.  These keys are durable enough to use as weapons themselves, and all spells in the magic revolve around attacking with the keys or "locking" and "unlocking" various things with them. All spells can originate either from the caster or any of their keys, and keys generated are generally permanent unless dissolved by the user, wave magic or similar abilities, or if they are broken in any way.

Ashleen tends to prefer free-form creation of these keys, for use as weapons. She is proficient in a sort of mock swordsmanship utilizing one or more larger keys as "blades", though all keys are blunt by default. She also uses small, thick, heavy keys as throwing weapons, but she prefers her primary technique of using two arming-sword-sized keys together, one for deflecting and distracting and the other for attacking. Still, when necessary, Ashleen will use her spells to entrap, debuff, and generally disable her opponent while enhancing her own abilities. She also makes use of directly offensive spells and, more particularly, supplemental spells and abilities, opting for a fairly balanced approach to utilizing her magic.
Strengths:

• Single-Target Combat, since Ashleen can focus her debilitating spells on a single target.
  
• High supplementary/support potential.
  
• Durable item creation.
  
• Variable size and weight of keys.
  
• Cannot effect self negatively with spell effects, unless intentional.
  
• Magic cost efficiency. Spells cast through keys stay in the keys if they don't connect. Once the key touches a viable target, the spell is immediately expended, used on that target.
  

Weaknesses:

• Long-range Combat. Most spells are cast via contact with one of the keys, so long distance combat is tricky, to say the least.
  
• Spells can effect unintentional targets, such as allies or other enemies than the one Ashleen originally meant to hit.
  
• Cooldowns do not start if a spell is kept stored in a key, until that spell is finally used. However, the spell being stored also cannot be used again until it is used or dispelled, then until it cools down.
  
• Limited number of stored spells at any given time, starting at 1 per key and going up to 2 per key at s rank.
  
• If the keys created are damaged in any way, such as a small chip or crack, they immediately dissipate, causing any stored spell to be lost.
  
• The extent to which the keys can be altered in regards to size and weight is limited by mage rank. (See spoiler, "size and weight limits").
  
• Magnetic Magic. Though normal magnets generally have little to no effect on the keys, magical magnetism or magically enhanced magnetism attracts the keys powerfully.

Unique Abilities:

1. Skeleton Key: Ashleen can use this magic to create a "Skeleton Key", which can unlock any mundane lock, as well as any magical locks or bindings of equal or loiter rank to Ashleen's mage rank. She can create multiple keys like this, and manipulate their size, shape, and weight, as long as the key remains generally key shaped. Keys created this way may also be used as weapons, with durability and damage equal to a basic item equal to Ashleen's rank (weak weapon at D-rank, normal at C-rank, strong at B-rank, Legendary at A-rank, and relic at S-rank). (Maximum S-Rank)
   
2. Spell Storing: As mentioned in strengths and weaknesses, Ashleen can store spells in her keys, with certain limited on how many spells can be stored at once. Additionally, Ashleen may cancel stored spells, re- absorbing half the magical energy used to cast the spell, but placing that spell on cooldown. 1 spell per key, 2 spells per key upon reaching S-rank.
