Arc of Embodiment

OATH TO THE EXALTED
Also known as: Children of Sigrun
Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description:

For the longest time, old legends that have since passed the physical world are remembered in a number of ways, efforts being made by their living brethren that allowed them to leave a portion of their existences ingrained into the memory of the masses despite the circumstance of death. Reveled for the causes they upheld to the bitter end, 'they' are no short of heroes - though dead still, and no man past his time is safe from the fate of being forgotten. Though it had previously been the minstrels' responsibility to condense their lives into song, the profession itself is a withering art that threatens to disappear altogether. It's in this current age that historians live to recollect the past, but they can only do so much with their methods, where a common injustice  is served to those who failed to leave tangible evidences of their time in Ishval.

In their despair, these ancient souls began to weep for their memory, knowing no one else will. Their combined efforts created such a haunting melody that it attracted the immediate concern of a valkyrie who stood guard at the threshold to Valhalla. With the aid of the gods she served, she'd relinquish her position in order to be reborn within the plains of Ishval, where she would exhaust most of her known power to fabricate a branch of magic dedicated to her attempt at reviving the fallen. Her endeavors blessed her fruitfully with success, but not without a dire price. Due to the strain that she endured in the crafting process, her physical body would have 'dissolved' completely, leaving her spirit to roam without a means of completing her purpose.

The setback drove her to opt for a human vessel for the magic, finding compatibility in those borne without an already innate magic, ordinary people that would go on to become her apprentice until their final breaths - they, her children, and she, their mother, Sigrun. Under her dutiful care, they are taught the art of revering the fallen, verses of promise that Sigrun refers to as the Oaths to the Exalted. In return for reviving their names and breathing life into their stories, the exalted aid the chosen vessel in battle, briefly manifesting themselves within the physical plane of existence. With their borrowed time, they are free to assist in the battle by any means until their return to the Otherworld. Her children have taken a liking to calling themselves Minstrels, and it has been that way ever since.

As eons end, the cycle repeats, and Sigrun watches the rise and fall of her chosen vessel along with the passage of time, her spirit waning in the process. With the new age continuing to chip at her soul, she hopes to find a stronger, more potent human to serve the task. And perhaps she has, as Miss Sinclair has proven brilliant even in the first phases of her training. As the current minstrel, Iris demonstrates her usage of the Oaths both strategically and efficiently, choosing to fight alongside the exalted fallen. Having appreciated her choice, the summons have chosen to repay her by supporting her wholeheartedly, their abilities allowing for buffs and heals of varied quality and purpose.

STRENGTHS:
◆Instead of being rendered useless without her summons, Iris remains fully capable considering how the exalted make it a point to pepper her with several buffs or supports before their departure.
◆Invoking the spirits is a simple process that can be done in any situation, at any given time, without a requirement. The recitation of the oaths are what the exalted desire, and nothing else.
◆Speech between her and her summon is shared telepathically, allowing smooth transitions between each move.

WEAKNESSES:
◆The Oaths are voice-dependent. If silenced or gagged, Iris will be unable to summon.
◆There is still a time constraint (CD) that needs to be minded every now and then.
◆Every summon has a relative affinity assigned to them. Every attack made is not immune to the abilities of a slayer with the same affinity.
◆The magic has proved to be slightly inefficient in solo fights, taking much longer than what could be achieved in a group.

LINEAGE:

Description:

UNIQUE ABILITIES:
◆Embellished Verses: It's no surprise that our heroes are a little hungry for compliments after years of being ignored. By reciting the exalted's oath twice (one for summoning, two for when they're active), a boost in morale is automatically generated, enhancing a summon's damage output by 50% for the rest of their duration. This may not stack and will immediately end with the summon's subsequent CD.

For this, could you specify whether it increases the summons physical or magical damage? As it can only increase one.

◆Revival Shroud (CD: 2 posts): Being dead for a long time surely makes you miss the fleshy padding of human bodies, and certainly, the exalted are not exempted in the slightest. With agreement from both parties, Iris and her summon may briefly combine into one solitary entity, the union being represented by the girl donning the summon's clothes, costing the same amount of MP used to call out the summon in question (it also possible to use a summon currently on cooldown). In this state, she is free to demonstrate all of the exalted's abilities, and is not counted to the limit of summons active on the field. Only one fusion may be performed at a given time, however.
◆Adamant Towers: The exalted have been lonely blokes for god-knows-how-long, and while they're still angsty ghosts, nothing makes them more chipper than being summoned in pairs. When two summons are present on the field (either by being called simultaneously or between a set number of intervals), a 50% damage resistance (25% magical, 25% physical) is issued for both summons for any attack with the same rank as the minstrel. If a second pair were to appear, the prior summons must activate their CD before the benefit is passed unto the more recent ones.

ARC OF EMBODIMENT
Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Solitary Lost Magic (+15% magic damage, +15% MP costs)
Description:

Enclosed in the average person's skull is the brain, dubbed across the centuries as a formidable asset in humanity's prolonged survival against the world and every other natural law that abides to it. And it is exactly this mortal tool that separates the Arc of Embodiment from some of the more usual forms of magic. Inside the human head are possibilities born from unhindered thoughts, imagination and fantastical dreams alike; and by partaking in the Arc, these once abstract thoughts are given forms, and concreteness that is to be used to the caster's benefit, shaping the surrounding realities with their constructs so that situations may better fit their endeavors. While this alludes to a widespread popularity among the masses, there are very few who are actually compatible with the Arc's fundamental principles, having need an intelligence of at least above average. The scattered practitioners are also at blame for the general public's lack of knowledge on this particular art.

Reaching a decent proficiency in the Arc not only promotes healthy brain activity, but also develops a special subspace native to the caster, where all the construct 'blueprints' are stored in a manner similar to memories, which are then synthesized into spells whenever the need arises. It is believed that this cognitive space is located on an entirely different plane of existence, but that doesn't inhibit its function to store constructs as much as the caster pleases. It's to be noted, however, that the subspace is heavily dependent on the host body's mental capacity and strength - a weaker mental and emotional fortitude results in a weaker cognitive space at the risk of crumbling, but this also means there will be a significant growth to it whenever the caster experiences a development in their mentality.

Restrictions on constructs are not endemic to the original practice, but are instead tailored by their caster accordingly. They say the limits of a construct speaks a lot about the host's current psyche and confidence.

STRENGTHS:
◆The creative liberty allows the magic to fare in almost any situation.
◆Any flashy magic sequence/process prior to the creation has been comically omitted under the current user's insistence, eliminating the need to pause between attacks.
◆Utilizing it outside of combat is just as good as a decision as any, since the caster is fully capable of materializing even the most mundane objects for daily routine work.

WEAKNESSES:
◆All constructs cannot be altered once they are made.
◆Item-related creations are not indestructible, and may break accordingly.
◆The magic is predominantly reliant on the caster's mental state - without focus, the constructs would collapse prior to their creation.
◆Trauma to the head has shown to impede casting time and further degrades the quality of each construct.

LINEAGE:

Description:

UNIQUE ABILITIES:
◆Alpha Principle [1 Post CD]: However versed in the construction of magically-imbued objects, the Arc does not limit its user's cognitive dominion or their creativity to this theme. As they see fit, the caster is allowed to embody constructs that don't possess any magical property, which may be used for smaller functions or the more menial of jobs. All objects created under the influence of the Alpha Principle will not demand a respective amount of MP to manifest or a CD - unless within a battle setting, where each construct will instead cost the caster a relative amount of MP for a proper embodiment - with each post limited to 20 copies in a combat thread. The cost is largely dependent on the area that the object consumes, which will follow ranked burst spell areas, with the base price being 2 MP for everything within D-rank burst area and bellow. The amount increases by 4 MP once the object's area goes BEYOND the threshold of each of the burst ranks (ex. for constructs reaching 16-30 meters, they will cost 6 MP and so on). In terms of durability, each object will manage at least 1 spell worth of damage from their respective burst area rank: constructs within and below 15 meters will break when hit with 1-D rank spell, things with an area of 16-30 meters will break with cumulative damage amounting to 1 C-rank spell etc. If the construct is a weapon/armor, then the damage follows the rank of the caster (e.g. D = weak melee damage). *Note: The user cannot access the burst areas above their own rank, thusly limiting them to their own rank's extent. This ability is limited to real-world objects, and all the objects will remain in existence outside combat unless the caster revokes it of their own accord. Otherwise, they will disintegrate when broken. 20 per construct is the current limit of the Alpha Principle.

◆Beta Principle [2 Post CD]: Prior to the constructs existing in the physical plane, the caster must first achieve a preconceived mental image of their desired product. While it is recommended to immediately 'drop' the image out into reality, the caster is allowed an alternative method: instead of aptly making an embodiment of the construct, it may instead be presented to an audience through projection. The object as a projection is essentially an illusion of the caster's design, displaying an ability to mimic everyday objects, scenes, or even people. The Beta Principle may also extend to abstract concepts like emotions, and can be 'projected' unto a  target/environment accordingly. Concrete projections cast at a rate of 2 MP and affect a burst area equivalent to the caster's own, whilst Abstract projections go for 4 MP with the same burst area terms as their concrete counterpart. Higher-ranked mages may easily disperse the projection and, should emotions be projected, ignore the effects induced by them. *Note: The Abstract Projection's effects have a total duration of 1 post. This can increase by 1 per rank-up, but will also add 1 post to the CD accordingly.

◆Cognitive Authority: As it was, the founders of the Arc weighted their strength on their intellectual skill, and chose to prove that the mind has a dominion on the world that we occupy. Similarly, the original casters stressed the relevance of conviction in their art, labeling the power of belief as one of the pivotal characteristics of the mind's eye. Cognitive Authority works in relation to what is applied to the caster as a result of the construct's effect or through an external source - with self-conviction, all buffs made through the Arc will remain viable regardless of the user's rank, along with a 50% increase to their magic power. Cognitive Authority does not extend towards buffs made to other parties.

◆Metasynthesis I [2 Post CD]: Ordinarily, because the magic does not incline toward a particular element, it's up to the discretion of the caster to attach them to their constructs during the conceiving phase. Yet it is entirely possible to embody a basic element through sheer memory. Provided that the caster is aware of how the element works on an atomic level, the Arc can enable them to briefly release it in a geometrical form of the user's devising through their palm. Metasynthesis I is limited to the four primary elements: fire, water, earth, and air; whilst their structure and travel numbers cannot deviate from 3 meters in width, 3 meters in height, a total distance of 15 meters and a speed of 15 m/s. Only one elemental embodiment made from Metasynthesis I can be released in a single post with each cast amounting to 5 MP and a burst damage equivalent to the caster's rank. *Note: The elemental construct traces a very linear path, and may not change course, nor move through obstacles.

Metasynthesis I is limited to the four primary elements: fire, water, earth, and air; whilst their structure and travel numbers cannot deviate from 3 meters in width, 3 meters in height, a total distance of 15 meters and a speed of 15 m/s. Only one elemental embodiment made from Metasynthesis I can be released in a single post with each cast amounting to 5 MP and a burst damage equivalent to the caster's rank. *Note: The elemental construct traces a very linear path, and may not change course, nor move through obstacles.
