The Splendor of Chess! (Magic)

• Chess magic is unorthodox and surprising to one who hasn't seen it before, they won't know what to expect of it.
  
• The caster's allies become more powerful from the magic in most cases, and can become power-houses.
  

• Chess Magic, while somewhat versatile, must follow the idea and logic of the game chess in some way, restricting it's creativity.
  
• Most if-not-all spells of Chess Magic cannot effect or buff Emerick himself, which weakens him as a physical fighter.
  
• Chess magic is restricted from spells with elemental effects, effectively removing most ranged attack options.

Description: Chess Magic is simply the name for a series of unorthodox spells created by Emerick Aonhardt which utilizes the same logic as the game Chess, most likely an outwards manifestation of his own imagination and inherit magical power. This magic was first awakened when Emerick visited the celestial spirit 'Nivek the King of Games' and is primarily composes of support magic taking properties from certain chess pieces, summoning magic used to create more pawns, and the ReQuip weapon which forms the center of the magic along with a small group of offensive spells. It has no elemental theme to it, the theme itself is simply chess.

Chess magic is utilized by Emerick using vocalized commands that must follow a logical array and must resemble a movement in chess, such as calling out "Knight to E13" is he was using the Knight spell on someone named Emerick. He is not required to follow the same naming convention to his commands, so long as he follows the two aforementioned rules. Support spells have another particular rule to them, whether cast the user will gain a mark of that chess piece somewhere on them which will be of their choice. How the mark is displayed is entirely their choice so long as it is the chess piece, and Emerick always plays black.
Strengths:

• Chess magic is unorthodox and surprising to one who hasn't seen it before, they won't know what to expect of it.
  
• The caster's allies become more powerful from the magic in most cases, and can become power-houses.
  

Weaknesses:

• Chess Magic, while somewhat versatile, must follow the idea and logic of the game chess in some way, restricting it's creativity.
  
• Most if-not-all spells of Chess Magic cannot effect or buff Emerick himself, which weakens him as a physical fighter.
  
• Chess magic is restricted from spells with elemental effects, effectively removing most ranged attack options.

Unique Abilities:

Checkmate: The finality of this word echoes with the ability to become victorious in the end, no matter the personal cost, while ensuring that someone cannot 'cheat' to win the game. Emmerick can end a spell by touching it so long as the spell would effect him in some way, and the spell is of Emerick's rank or lower. Doing this costs him the same mana cost it took to cast the spell in the first place and requires a cool down of four posts in-between uses.

Practiced Move: Pieces are always changing on the board, whether moving, taking an enemy piece, or being taken by an enemy piece - the board is in a constant flux, as players plan out and practice their turns within their minds, rewarding the player who can think further ahead. This is also true with Chess Magi, so when Emerick casts a spell with the same name as a chess piece, he gains one mote which may then be discharged to reduce the cost of a spell by two mana per mote, to a minimum of 1/3rd the spell's mana cost. Once used, it requires a three post cool-down.

Battlefield Strategist: In history there has always been one side lead by the greatest of mind that think outside of the box and bring their allies to victory... this is not that skill but rather something entirely different. While still leading, the Battlefield Strategist makes their allies the stars by increasing any outgoing buffs by 25% and cannot raise a single spell above 100%. This cannot be used on self-buffs on Emerick.
