Secondary Magic: N/A
Type: Holder. ;; Elementalist.
Description:
✧ A Book of Shadows is something that nearly every witch uses to store their information, typically that of what they find in their research. Containing the core rituals, magical practices, ethics and philosophy of a witch's tradition. It is the workbook of the witch, in which is recorded such things as guidelines for rituals, invocations, herbal and healing lore, spells, runes, rules of a particular coven or tradition, symbols, poems, chants and anything else which may be of use to the witch during ritual and other practices. Mina's book, which is bound by a thick leather and older witchcraft-esque designs, is imbued with magical properties that she has kept a log of in her studies. Nearly every level of witchcraft, as she is an eclectic witch, is noted in some way in this magical book. Of course, it was a regular book at some point, but Mina's knowledge and magical power has fed into it to make a beautiful and unique weapon which is devastating and extremely useful.

✧ Mina uses this book to use a select amount of spells, that of which are extremely versatile and elemental based. A spell for nearly every element, she is definitely a terrifying sight to see while wielding this book. While looking to be innocent at first glance, as if she was just reading a book, Mina is capable of performing devastating acts of magic and showing her extreme amounts of power as a witch. She has a spell for nearly any situation, which is extremely useful, especially in her craft as an eclectic witch.

Strengths:
✧ Most of her attacks are capable of striking multiple enemies.
✧ Her attacks are very versatile in a sense that her books is elemental, useful against all types of enemies.
✧ Being that she is a witch, her Book of Shadows holds immense power if used correctly.

Weaknesses:
✧ Mina lacks defensive spells, as most of hers are offensive with an occasional utility.
✧ The nature of her spells are long ranged, therefore she lacks that of close ranged abilities.
✧ As her book is materialistic, it can be misplaced at any point.
✧ Her magic can pose a threat to her enemies, as it deals with the ability to hit multiple people.

Lineage:
✧ Arm of Destiny

✧ 余分な章：付録 ✧ Extra Chapter: Appendix: Mina's book is interesting in the fact that it is never completed, as it is the storage place for her findings and knowledge of witchcraft that she can reference whenever she needs to. Toward the back of the book, there is a divider which looks to be embroidered in beautiful designs, which leads to a separate area of blank pages with a rather different magical property. In these pages, Mina is capable of storing her material possessions, belongings, weapons, and much more- the only thing she wouldn't be able to store is a living creature. Here she stores things like her weapons, items, clothing, and much more; it is like an entire dimension meant for storage, that of which she can manipulate and pull out any of her items at any time. This prevents others from stealing her possessions when they are stored, as they would most likely not know how to remove them from the page, and remove the need to lug around a large quantity of items.

✧ 儀式の芸術 ✧ The Art of Rituals: Being a witch, Mina has often taken part of rituals involving a set amount of tools, that of which one would be able to mistake as a various arsenal of bladed weapons. Mina has since taken note of these ritual tools and has since been able to summon said tools out of her book, by simply flipping to the page of their description, appearance, and notes and saying the name of said tool- either verbally or mentally. This ability only activates on her voice, therefore nobody else would be able to use it. When the tool is summoned, it will fly upwards out of the book and into the air to where Mina can catch it by its handle, and allows Mina to use them in close combat with melee damage. These ritual tools follow proper requip values of Mina's rank, as well as durability and such. When the tool is destroyed it will explode into shadows, which is a cosmetic effect, and Mina will have to wait for 2 posts in order to summon another. She is only able to have one ritual tool out at a time. An example of these ritual tools can be found here.

✧ 伝説のカバー ✧ Legendary Cover: The cover of this Book of Shadows is laced with immense magical power, thus granting Mina a 60% magical damage buff. In addition to this, although this ability is entirely cosmetic, Mina is capable of shrinking this magical book into that of a small piercing of magenta-pink color. When shrinking the book, it will form into a tiny ball of light and jump into her mouth, providing a painless piercing of magical power onto her tongue as well as the ability to transport the book without holding it. This allows Mina to be discreet with her book in times where she needs to, as well as not having to carry around the book when she is not performing magic or noting her findings. She can also turn it back into the regular book size at will.

✧ 鮮やかな錯覚 ✧ Brilliant Illusions: As Mina has practiced witchcraft for an extreme amount of time, she has mastered the art of making illusions in addition to the spells she can cast. Mina is capable of creating illusions out of her elements of nearly anything by turning to the pages in her book with notes about the topic, and can create them up to the max range of her rank. Although she is capable of making nearly anything, such as houses, fake spells, and other things, which she does sometimes, she typically sticks to that of fake animals that are capable of moving just as regular animals are. Like a butterfly, for example, she is capable of creating a beautiful butterfly that can distract an enemy, luring them to or away from her. Although these illusions are unable to do damage to anything, they are able to frighten, deceive, lure, and make others waste their defensive spells. Higher ranked mages are capable of seeing through these illusions, however.

✧ 魔女の魔女 ✧ Witchy Witch: As witches are known to have immense magical power, Mina has trained her body to possess an increase in MP regen in addition to her book doing the same thing in her presence. Mina naturally recovers 5% MP per post, adding up to 25% MP regen over five posts.
