Magic

Magic Name: The Elemental Artes
Magic Type: Holder
Description: The Elemental Artes is a rarer form of a magic swordsman style combat. While not unknown to the world for its functions or its versatile actions, there are methods to this magic that separate it from others. Using their weapon to draw on the elements to use their magic flawlessly. Using this magic, the wielder is able to use spells directly through the weapon itself or using some of their own body parts as part of the spell in use. Being such, this doesn't mean the weapon has to be unsheathed from its scabbard to allow the user from using some spells, but anything requiring the weapon would require it.

The weapon used for this magic is one uniquely crafted and passed down among the Cicero family for several generations until being given to Sasha. The weapon is a semi short sword that appears to have no point to the tip of the sword. Despite that, the weapon still holds a dark red colored hue to the blade along the sides before it slowly begins to lighten to a lighter shade of red. When elemental colors shift, the color of the blade reflects that of the current color of the weapon itself.

Weapon appearance:

Finer functions and techniques require the user to use both their body and their weapon as one while they use the magic of their weapon to give it the true power it holds. While some require basic types of actions such as holding up a hand, a single sword swing, a punch, kick, etc. there are some that require more advanced movements, actions, or phrases.
Strengths:

• Magic allows the caster to use a wide variety of spells
  
• The weapon for this magic is unable to be destroyed by any means
  

Weaknesses:

• If the holder loses their weapon, they are unable to use their magic
  

[You need to have an equal amount of strengths vs weaknesses, so you need one more weakness, please.]

Unique Abilities:

• The Phialed Artes: After a spell is used, the weapon the user holds for this magic becomes the element of the last spell used. (i.e. Fire spell makes the weapon fire elemented) While this is in use, the weapon deals 25% extra damage of that elemental type.
  
• Perfected Spell Blade: The sword of this magic can deal 20% of spell damage in it's strikes
  
• Aura Artes: An aura surrounds the user of this magic after they use a spell. Based on the aura color, the user gains an additional effect:
  Red aura: Activated by fire and light based spells. Damage increased by 10%
  Blue aura: Activated by water, ice, and darkness based spells. 5% MP regen per post
  Green aura: Activated by wind and earth based spells. 5% HP regen per post
  Yellow aura: Activated by thunder/lightning and light based spells. Light effect can only cause the aura to activate if Red aura is on cooldown. Speed increased by 25%
  

These auras have their own 2 post cooldowns and cannot last any more then 3 posts each before being forced to go on cooldown.

Magic benefit

Solitary Benefit: See below

Weapon Benefit: +15% magic damage.
Armor Benefit: +15% Damage Reduction (physical or magical note which one on the application).
Item Benefit: +15% MP which only applies for usage of the magic in question.
[You can only pick one of these benefits for holder. I'm assuming since it is a sword, that weapon benefit is the one you should claim.]
