- Pet:
- Name:
Yuki
Rank:
Ethereal(+)
Species:
Snow Fox
Type:
Combat pet
Description & Appearance:
A small and delicate fox that has been born from the winter stars, it's fur so pleasant to touch that it might almost be addicting. But while this creature invokes the sense that it has to be treated with utmost care and all the love that can be given, it is actually quite capable by itself. And whoever shall find it will found out, that the Snow Fox is a very loyal companion that will stick with its partner through both bad and good. With a veil of Winter magic around it, the fox is also very much capable of using supportive magic to help it's caretaker from the back lines, always doing it's very best. Such efforts should always be kindly rewarded with a tasty treat and few warm cuddles after the battle is over, no?
AbilitiesName: Wishing upon a snowy star
Rank: S
Duration: 4 posts
Cooldown: 8 posts
Description: The snow fox Yuki is a loyal creature that hates seeing those that are dear to it injured. When there is someone who requires aid, it can look up into the skies and even if it is middle of the day, a small frozen star will descend. From this star, gentle snow will start falling in the area of 100 meters and all allies that are touched by it will feel strange, yet affectionate warmth spreading through their bodies. They will all be healed by 50% of S-ranked damage and all negative effects that might be going on inside of them will also be weakened by 50%. For the next 4 posts, this effect will continue, healing all affected allies by another 50% until the treshold of 2,5x damage healed is reached.
Strengths:- Provides a powerful gradual healing that eventually caps the maximal amount that can be healed per single spell
- Has a secondary effect that will halve the effectiveness of any active debuffs
Weaknesses:- Since the healing is gradual rather than all at once, it will help less those who are already nearly dead
- The secondary effect of weakening negative effects won't affect any debuffs that originated from H-ranked spells and abilities
- Since the spell is very visually astounding, it will make it easy for the enemy to figure out that something is going on
Name: Inspiring Cheer
Rank: A
Duration: 7 posts
Cooldown: 8 posts
Description: The snow fox can cheer it's owner and their allies on, imbuing them with its magic for a short amount of time. While this enchantment is active, all allies in the range of 150 meters will receive a boost of 25% to both their total damage output and movement speed. Use this well to take your enemy down quick!
Strengths:- An offensive boost that might give enough of encouragement to rush the enemy down
Weaknesses:- The boost is not applied to the fox itself
- Because of two different effects, they are weaker than if there was just a singular one
PRICE: 300,000 Jewels or 15 CC - Provides a powerful gradual healing that eventually caps the maximal amount that can be healed per single spell
- Summoning Key:
Name:
Winter Fiary, Kori
Rank:
User's Rank (Caps at S)
Type:
Summoning Key
Description & Appearance:
A seemingly ordinary silver key on the surface, but something very special in the hands of a capable mage that is not too prideful to call on allies during rough times. For such keys do not open any doors in Earthland, as one could easily judge by their unusual and curvaceous shape that'd fit no regular keyhole. With a symbol of a heart on one end, overcasting an angel's wing which represents the freedom of fairies who decide to help their summoners, this piece of equipment is also quite the sight to behold outside of its effective range. Seemingly masterfully crafted, it's center is also adorned by a small blue rose that is warm to the touch as if it was representative of the fairy's heart, filled with warm affection. And below this flower, a tiny blue gem that glows in the dark with a brilliant celestial light, encased in a silver summoning circle. Simply hold this key forward and give it a sacrifice of magic, call the friend who rests within and as a gentle winter, she will arrive to aid you with your trouble. This is the summoning key of the Winter Fairy, Kori.
Once summoned, the fairy takes on a small, yet beautiful form of a human female with butterfly wings of ice and frost adorning her back, allowing her to fly around in a serene motion. Kori is a calm and collected spirit that is quite the opposite to the more hot-headed fire fairies. Not only does she make for an excellent partner in combat, but her wisdom and friendly personality can be of use at just about any given time, especially when one feels lonely. Acting like a big sister of sorts, she tries to comfort those around her and punish those that would dare to harm people that she cares about. But as any reliable summon, she always listens to her summoner first before deciding to take action on her own. Obeying any orders as long as they are not improper or dangerous to herself, the fairy is willing to go to great lengths to carry out the commands that were given to her. But despite her calm nature, be careful not to insult the Winter around her!
Abilities:
Name: Ice Mirage
Rank: User's Rank (Caps at S)
Duration: Rank's maximal duration
Cooldown: Duration + 1 post
Description: Spinning around, Kori can unleash her magic onto her master and temporarily cover them in a thin veil of frost that soon detaches and creates something akin to an ice clone of the mage. This clone is semi-transparent and does count toward the maximum amount of summons present on the battlefield. However, instead of having the usual passive and active abilities, the clone can simply use any spell of the original's magic. The catch is, the original still has to pay the required MP for any spell used and cooldown/duration rules apply to both of them all the same. If one casts a spell, it will enter cooldown for both of them and so on. Health and damage of this clone are equal to that of a normal summon of the spell's rank, and the summon also cannot use any spells that are above its own rank.
Strengths:- Creates a copy of the mage that owns Kori's key that can help in any situation
- As the copy can use original's magic, new interesting spell combos can be used between them
- The clone does have it's separate HP and attacking it won't damage the original
Weaknesses:- If the clone or original casts a spell, then it will enter cooldown for both of them
- The original still has to pay the required MP if the clone casts any of the original's spells
- The clone lacks a second ability that is usually present in regular summons
- Just like any other summon, the clone does count toward maximal number of summons that mage can have out at once
- Clone cannot cast any H-ranked spells even if the key's user is of that rank
Name: Ice Mirror
Rank: User's Rank (Caps at A)
Duration: Cooldown - 1 post
Cooldown: Rank's minimal cooldown
Description: Gathering magical energy around her summoner, Kori can create something akin to circular mirror that turns invisible and follows the summoner for its entire duration. This mirror is designed to absorb any single attack up to this spell's rank and will only become visible when doing so. However, the mirror is only big enough to block single, burst or multi-hit attacks, not AoE ones. It will automatically move in the way of an incoming spell attack and absorb it, or toward the strongest incoming attack if there are multiple ones. Once a single spell is absorbed, the mirror shatters and the spell enters cooldown.
Strengths:- Provides a protection that at full power can block any spell up to A rank
- Works as an automatic defense against attacks the summoner might not even notice
Weaknesses:- Neither Kori or her summoner have any control over the mirror once it's created. It will simply follow behind and absorb the first/strongest incoming hit and then disappear
- If there are multiple attacks coming at once, only the strongest will be absorbed
- The mirror cannot absorb AoE attacks, but at least it won't break trying
PRICE: 500,000 Jewels or 30 CC- Creates a copy of the mage that owns Kori's key that can help in any situation
- Weapon:
Name:
Dancer
Rank:
Artifact(+)
Type:
Spear
Description & Appearance:
Did you think that Dancer was the name of one of Santa's reindeers? Think again! Tis' a mighty holiday spear that can pierce the clouded Winter skies! On top of a long pole that tries to imitate a candy cane rests a stone imitation of mistletoe and a glowing red gem that seems to generate a small amount of heat even during the coldest of winter times. Beyond these ornaments, a magical blade made out of green-colored glass lies. But despite its material, this piece of weaponry is just as sturdy as any metal blade with a couple of powerful abilities to boot. Why this spear exists, no one seems to know. Perhaps one of the underling elfs was tired to the Christmas man's tyranny and planned to rebel? We might never know. But whether Cherry Snoozytrifle really did make this weapon to end Christmas once and for all does not matter anymore, for the spear now rests in your hands and you are free to utilize it however you see most fit. However, it is advised to be very careful with this piece of magical equipment. The small star at the other end of the main pole is just as sharp as the blade itself, making it possible to use both ends of this spear to attack if one is skilled enough. Just try to not cut yourself in the process. And hey, if you're not exactly a fighter, then surely this spear will prove to be an excellent ornament for your home during the Christmas time.
Strengths:- Despite having a blade of glass, the spear is still just as sturdy as any other weapon, providing those who can utilize it a lot of flexibility
- As both ends of the spear are sharp, the utility of this spear grows even more, as long as the user is careful enough
Weaknesses:- The spear has a fixed shape and can be less useful to certain types of mages and warriors who are not used to such weapon
- Even once to season passes, the weapon will not change its design. Some might find it little too weird to be using the weapon outside of Christmas time
- Those who are clumsy enough with the weapon run the risk of stabbing themselves due to both sides of the spear being sharp
Abilities:
Name: The mightiest spear
Rank: S
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: Passive
Description: The blade of this spear is enchanted with magic that is meant to penetrate all defenses, no matter how strong. All attacks performed with this weapon will ignore 50% of all shields, barriers and resistances generated by abilities and spells up to S-rank.
Name: Piercing Strike
Rank: A
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: A fairly regular attack performed by thrusting the spear forward. This will deal regular A-ranked damage to any enemy that is hit. However, it is possible to augment this attack and make it much more powerful. Weapons and other equipment normally work on their own and do not require magical energy from the user, but if the owner of this spear feeds MP equal to the cost of an A-ranked spell, the damage output of this attack will be doubled by adding an ice element to the attack.
Strengths:- Gives the user an option between regular and a much stronger attack based on their situation
Weaknesses:- The additional layer of damage does require the user to spend MP equal to a regular spell of the same rank
- Due to the nature of spear thrust attacks, it is impossible to hit more than one enemy with this ability
PRICE: 300,000 Jewels or 15 CC- Despite having a blade of glass, the spear is still just as sturdy as any other weapon, providing those who can utilize it a lot of flexibility
- Armor:
- PRICE: 300,000 Jewels or 15 CC
Name:
Winter's Embrace
Rank:
Artifact(+)
Type:
Cloak
Description & Appearance:
In the upcoming times of Winter, there is no better piece of attire to have than a warm fur-trimmed cloak that will keep you away from all the frost. However, this is no ordinary piece of fabric meant for everyday use. The crimson-colored claoked named "Winter's Embrace" is a unique piece of magical equipment that seems to generate frost as well as protect from it. Thanks to this little fact, it can bring many benefits to a mage during harsh times. Not to mention that whoever will try this cloak on will look much more dapper than the rest of the crowd! Do not hesitate and grab it for yourself before it's too late and you're stuck not looking fashionable for the Christmas time.
Strengths:- Not only does the cloak possess magical abilities, its design is also not something to scoff at
- Despite the material, the cloak serves as a great isolant. This means it can also be used to keep cool in deserts and so on, rather than just being useful during Winter
Weaknesses:- Because of how large the cloak is, it always covers one's whole body. That means it will hide all other stylish clothes beneath
- While the cloak can be used during any time of the year and still be useful, it is still rather large and it can be troublesome to carry it around all the time
- The cloak might be magical, but it is still just a cloak. Anyone can try to steal it and wear it themselves if the owner is not careful enough
Abilities:
Name: Veil of Ice
Rank: S
Duration: 7 posts
Cooldown: 8 posts
Description: As mentioned in the description, this coat seems to be actually generating a little bit of cold on the outside. When magic energy is applied to the fabric, this effect becomes many times stronger and a thin veil of ice is formed on top of it, increasing the amount that this piece of clothing protects. As long as this spell is in effect, the user will gain 30% damage resistance toward all but fire-based attacks that will be able to chew through half of this. However, if the user activates the ability while under any negative effect, then the damage resistance is increased to 50%. However, this does not allow one to go above the cap of 50% without the use of additional lineage ability.
Strengths:- Ability capable of providing heavy damage resistance against attacks of all but one type
Weaknesses:- Only provides half of the damage resistance mentioned against fire-based attacks
- User will not get the full benefit of the effect if they are not under an ongoing debuff
- Shorter duration for a spell of this rank
Name: Freezing Grasp
Rank: A
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: Passive
Description: For as long as the outfit is worn, a freezing element is applied to all melee strikes that the user performs, giving them much more edge in combat. All punches, kicks and so on will send out a wave of cold air that will carry the damage for another 75 meters while also increasing total melee damage dealt by 50%. This can transform anyone's regular melee strikes into deadly long-ranged attacks. - Not only does the cloak possess magical abilities, its design is also not something to scoff at
- Item:
- PRICE: 5,000 Jewels
Name:
Winter Lotus
Rank:
User's Rank
Type:
Ice Flower
Description & Appearance:
Once a flower, now a delicate piece of everlasting ice. This item is one of great beauty, normally generating faint blue glow and it's surface being of the same color, slightly transparent color. However, when it is introduced to another source of light, it will start dancing with many different colors like an everchanging rainbow. And while cold to touch and clearly made out of ice, this flower will never melt, no matter the heat it is exposed to. Aside from its obvious aesthetical purpose, the flower is also infused with magic. And while it probably won't be strong enough to win battles or wars, it is still assured to bring joy into hearts of many who decide to purchase this gem of a sculpture.
Strengths:- The item doesn’t require to be directly exposed for the user to use it’s abilities freely, it simply has to be somewhere on their person
- The ice can endure regular damage that usually comes as a result of accidents, alleviating the need to be constantly careful with it
Weaknesses:- As a sculpture made out of ice, one cannot possibly expect to be able to change this item's element even if they are expert enchanter
- The user is required to have the glass lotus on their person if they wish to reap any benefits from it. And due to its intricate shape and size, it can be sometimes a bit difficult to carry around
- While the ice is sturdy enough to survive unintentional falls from fairly large heights, it will not be able to withstand a direct magical or physical attack. Something like that will break the lotus apart and disable its abilities for the remainder of the thread
Abilities:
Name: Beauty of Creation
Rank: User's Rank
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: Passive
Description: As long as the ice lotus lies with a mage, they can feed it magic and borrow its hidden power in daily life. The magic consumption is so small that it cannot even be registered, but the results can be more magnificent than anything else. This ability allows the owner of this item to create sculptures of ice even in the hottest of environments. These creations have no real function and cannot be used in combat at all, but allow the owner to express themselves to their fullest. Do your best and create something beautiful!
Name: Frozen treat
Rank: User's Rank
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: Passive
Description: When the lotus makes contact with magic, it starts emanating cold. This helps the first ability to take place, but it can also be used to cool down nearby objects. For example, food that you heated too much. The item also appears to be capable of generating cold chocolate if fed enough magical energy. - The item doesn’t require to be directly exposed for the user to use it’s abilities freely, it simply has to be somewhere on their person
- Lacrima:
Name:
Aurora Demon Slayer
Type:
Demon Slayer
Element(s):
Light & Crystal
Description:
A special slayer lacrima that has been created in the north beyond borders of what we know. In the times of great Winter, those who would look up at the night's sky would see lines of beautiful colors dancing playfull amid the bright stars, their colors and shapes everchanging like rainbows mixed with slithering serpents. The old and more tribal society looked up to this phenomenon and saw it as a sign from their gods, an image to worship in their name. And so they did. Nothing was more sacred to them than these mystical lights and the way they would travel down to the ground, reflecting from shiny stones that could be found lying in the fields of snow.
One day, a stray demon found this tribal society and tried to understand their views of the world. And while not evil, this being was a trickster who enjoyed teasing others greatly. Flying into the skies, he would hide among the pretty colors and impersonate the gods that these humans worshipped for generations. And while he enjoyed the mockery for a little while, he would soon start feeling bad for those he had deceived in such a cruel way. And so he decided on his final act as their 'god'. Crystallizing his powers along with the auroras in the sky, he would create lacrima that was then given to the tribe. A brand new element of a demon-slaying magic as an apology.
The Aurora demon slayer controls the elements of Aurora, the colorful lights in the skies and crystals that reflect them on the ground. By combining the two, new spells are formed and used however the user of this lacrima may see fit. Just like any other slayer, the owner of this lacrima can consume crystals and light in order to regain lost power and eventually reach demon force. And while it might be rather difficult to use one of the elements without the other, it is certainly possible, giving an option of good variety to whoever can get their hands on this unique lacrima.

Name:
Permafrost Snow Globe
Description:
Permafrost, this word was also once the name of an icy village, snowbound all year round. Most places that are trapped in such a horrid condition foster grumpy, hardened and cold souls. However, this Village was different from most and instead of being part of that norm, Permafrost managed to be a warm inviting location community wise. Instead of cruelty, they faced the world with gift giving and year-round holiday cheer. Though some people found this obnoxious and as the world typically goes, those individuals decided to take the happiness from the village. Thus, the village of Permafrost descended into the grave, became a hub for the image of misery.
Eventually, the rest of the world grew tired of the locations new gloomy and vicious state. So once more, Permafrost ended up on the bad end of the world. At wit's end with the new cruel nature of the icy town, every single one of the neighboring territories hired mages to help contain the negativity and stop it from spreading. These wizards instead of attempting to solve the problem, instantly restored to overreacting by using an extremely powerful containment magic! Similar to how a lacrima is made land, foliage, fauna, and the town were all locked within a class case, trapped when the solid base formed beneath them shrunk down for easy storage. Essentially? Someone made the entire town into a snow globe!
However, it was found eventually that children born too close to the new lake left behind by the spell, had a special connection to Permafrost, this connection is even more ‘powerful’ if someone can obtain the Snow Globe itself, but the seal can never be lifted.
Abilities:
Sealed Mages
Due to the numerous mages sealed within the Snow Globe, children born with magic who are connected to Permafrost have access to an additional water, snow or ice-based spell per rank because they can tap into the magic of those sealed within the Globe. This also includes an additional signature spell of one rank lower than the mage itself. Only applies to either primary or secondary magic, not both. Guardian Of Permafrost
If a wielder of this lineage was to do some soul searching or extremely dangerous tasks, they may come to find they have the power to draw one being from the snow globe itself. This grants the user an additional combat pet, it can be anything but it must have come from the globe somehow. Can not have two combat pets of the same rank with this, one must always be a different rank than the other.
Snow Globe
The climate within the globe is very precise, cold, frost on everything and snowing. Thus those drawing their power from it can make the exterior world in burst rank for their rank match any three of these conditions. Sometimes this is only aesthetic however if it used for combat the range is halved, it deals the users rank in damage and can be used every other turn.
