Description:
It is undeniable that ever since the beginning of time demonic forces from beyond the comprehension of mortals have sought to influence the fate of Earthland for their own gain. What exactly these demonic forces are and what they plan remains an enigma, though some of their secrets have, over time, reached the hands of those they seek to influence. At one point or another, someone gained access to the demonic secrets of the underworld, detailing their findings in a scroll that would remain lost for the longest time. What exactly happened to the author, though, and whether their move was ever discovered is still a mystery. Still, without doubt, had their misdeed been noticed, the punishment that followed would certainly be horrific. Or, alternatively, perhaps they joined the demonic forces they acquired these secrets from? In the end ... who can truly know?
Abilities:
Infernal Might:
The fate of this scroll's author is uncertain, though the fact remains that they have managed to acquire demonic secrets not meant for the eyes of mortals and record them. This grants the bearer of this scroll deep insight into demonic powers and energies, a method of casting that is not too different from magic, though much more sinister and dark in nature. The user gains access to a new magic type called "Infernal" and is able to use this magic type to create magics. Infernal Magic in itself is not magic per se, but rather the manipulation of demonic energies by the user, similar in effect to casting "Caster" type spells. The benefit levels for Infernal Magic are specified below (These benefits apply only to the "Infernal" type magic in question, not the character itself, excluding the HP increase). The base increase stacks with other base increases and can exceed the 50% limit for base increases:
- Solitary: +30 base spell damage +25% to HP
- Primary: +20 base spell damage, +15% to HP
- Auxiliary: +10 base spell damage, +10% to HP
Demonic Maledict:
Demonic energy, or curses, in other words, are stronger than regular magic, a fact universal to the powers bestowed by the dark beings of old. Demonic power existed before magic did and was used to subjugate mortals for hundreds, if not thousands of years, the darkness of this ability detailed in the scroll reflecting this fact. The user's spells gain a deeply black color to them, no matter their element, and the bearer of the lineage gains an increase to their base spell damage as well as a passive 100% buff to their spell damage (Increases follow the chart below). The base increase is factored in before all buffs apply.
- D rank spells: +20 base damage
- C rank spells: +30 base damage
- B rank spells: +40 base damage
- A rank spells: +50 base damage
- S rank spells: +60 base damage
- H rank spells and above: +70 base damage
Power of the Underworld:
Infernal curses resemble magic in effect, though are much stronger and possess far greater destructive capabilities. The user, as a consequence, gains 2 additional Signature Spell slots to be used on a single one of their "Infernal" type magics, one additional Advanced Spell slot that ranks up with the user (Up to S+) to be used on a single one of their "Infernal" type magics, and an additional H+ rank Advanced Spell slot (Unlocked at H rank) to be used on a single one their "Infernal" type magics. Further, the user also gains 5 regular spell slots to be used on one of their "Infernal" magics. These spell slots follow the same maximums and rules as magic and have to be made and reviewed like normal. Another consequence of infernal curses is that the user barely utilizes magical energy to produce the ancient demonic energy, resulting in a 50% MP cost reduction that applies to the character using the scroll.
Hellish Aura:
The user, through discovering the power utilized by primeval demons, has partially taken on some demonic qualities themselves, their body radiating with demonic energy. This grants the user a passive aura that can be toggled on and off. The aura itself reaches up to user rank advanced AoE range around the user (Up to S+), everyone the user considers an enemy within the range suffering from a 100% debuff to spell damage and a 50% debuff to physical as well as magical damage reduction. The debuff to damage reduction applies to characters as well as objects (shields, items etc.). Further, everyone considered an enemy within this aura loses 5% of their maximum health each post they remain inside the AoE, the bearer of the lineage healed for the same amount of HP the enemies affected by this drain lose. The debuff and drain circumvent shields and cannot be blocked, affecting enemies as long as they remain within the range of this ability.
Malevolent Protection:
the demonic powers granted to the user are as chaotic as they are enigmatic, making them hard to control, but also hard to work against and counter. Demonic power is naturally more powerful than magic, its use coming with some unique perks. The user's debuffs and drains are unaffected by counter-effects that would affect these two effects in any way, debuffs and drains instead working at full efficiency. Further, the user also gains access to a 5% HP regen per post which is independent of their regular HP regen maximum, meaning the combined total HP regen, including this ability, can reach 20% per post max.
Cursed Copy:
While magic might be ancient, the curses of times long gone are even older, some even saying that curses have provided the basis for magic and its variations. Regardless of whether this fact is true, curse can certainly do what magic can ... and much more. The user can, once per thread, copy a single spell of user rank (Up to H) they have seen or used in the same thread for free, the bearer of the lineage manifesting the same spell in an ink-black color. This spell, however, is turned into a curse, more powerful than regular magic. The copied spell has it's base damage doubled before any of the user's buffs or other base damage increases apply.
