Magic Circle

• Magic Conduit: The use of the Magic Circle requires a large amount of magic on the user’s part. Instead of the normal mp regeneration, Ishtar regenerates 5% of his max mp every post.
  
• Disruption: The natural flow of magic circles disrupts that of creatures that have been artificially created or summoned. Ishtar’s spells deal 20% more damage to summoned creatures.
  
• Eldritch Outburst: When Ishtar takes damage that pierces the skin, it aggravates the magical conduits that run through his body, releasing violent magical energies and damaging those around him. Once per post, when Ishtar takes damage from a sharp or piercing weapon or spell, magic lightning crackles out from the wound at 120 meters per second and hits objects and creatures within 30 meters of him, dealing 20 hp of damage.
  
• Enhanced Blows: When Ishtar hits a creature, a magic circle briefly flashes into existence to lend his blows more power. When Ishtar hits a creature with a weapon attack or with his fists, he deals 20% more damage.

Magic Name: Magic Circle
Magic Type: Solitary Caster (15% decrease to magic cost)
Description: Magic Circle is a magical form of self-expression; the user releases the immense amount of magic stored within them in rivulets or in great floods to create magic symbols that can affect the physical world. Most users of Magic Circle have enormous internal stores of magic, as the circles themselves require constant flows of magic in order to retain form and influence. Magic Circles function like electricity functions in a battery: the flow of power channeled into a new source. The user acts as the battery, channeling magic into themselves and then into their circles, thus allowing them time to interact with the world. Two factors are important in using the Magic Circle: focus and influence. The user's focus allows the circles form, and the power of their magic, their 'influence', gives the circles an even greater ability to damage and exist.

Ishtar uses Magic Circles as a weapon or shield themselves: he throws the symbols as shurikens, manifests them as shields, or channels magic power through them to affect a certain function of physics to his advantage. He'll either use the Magic Circles solely, throw Giant Shurikens when he can and otherwise keeping a distance between him and his opponents with spells like Skyward Fall or Barrier, or he'll use it as an augment to his melee fighting. He wields twin swords and will sometimes rush from behind his defenses to surprise the enemy, but not without protection; at these times will he call upon the Twin Shields spell to grant him additional cover.

Strengths:

• Versatile: The Magic Circles have a nearly infinite number of uses; the only limit is the imagination and power of the user. Specifically, Ishtar’s Magic Circle is used as long range weapons, or strong shields to block either close combat or ranged abilities.
  
• Strong Defense: While the magic has a wide variety of uses, the defense spells of the Magic Circle are top-notch. They can vary from giant immovable shields to handheld, attached shields for more flexible movement.
  

Weaknesses:

• Immobile Spells: While the defense spells of Magic Circle are strong, many of them are immovable; a person cannot walk through them, and they are not mobile. When they are cast, they stay in that position and spot until they are dispersed or run out of magic to remain corporeal.
  
• Low Damage: The Magic Circle is powerful, but the magic itself does not have many high damage spells. Most are quick and easy-to-cast, designed to not take out an enemy with one blow, but to barrage them until their defenses are down.
