Lineage Name: Daughter of Inari
Wielder: Shirokawa Itori
Purchase Proof: Bought by Kihia, transferred to Itori.
Description
Thousands of years ago there was a species known as the kitsune. These kitsune were like humanoid foxes, cunning and clever. Each and every kitsune possessed a natural talent for two disciplines of magic: the magic of deception, weaving illusions and enchantments of such skill and complexity that anybody who was tricked by a kitsune would have difficulty trusting the reality they experienced afterwards, and the discipline of spirit. Rather than being primarily physical entities like humans it was clear that kitsune were as much spirit, which caused them to excel at communicating with other spirits and using abilities which were difficult to access for a more grounded species like humanity.
Itori is a member of that rare and elusive race, a traditional kitsune who has spent her long, long life improving and refining both her illusions and her ability to interact with and utilize spirits. Whereas many other kitsune are known for possessing some unique talent that they then focus on developing Itori always focused on those skills all kitsune possess and are famous for.
There is only one ability Itori has which is truly her own, not something possessed by all kitsune and not something any of her fox-like kin could learn with enough effort. From a young age Itori possessed a voice so beautiful and enchanting that it could enthral anything with ears to hear, a mind to comprehend, and a heart to feel. Beyond mere amazement this voice can compel others, instill abnormally strong emotions in them, and make them experience things which aren’t real.

Abilities:
- Combat Abilities:
Essence Theft: A more dreadful side of the kitsune race, Itori can drain energy and vitality through contact or magic. Eating life and magic alike, physical contact and physical/magical attacks steal 5% of the target’s health and mana. She can also choose to use this to aid her allies, giving them 5% of her health and mana when she heals or gets into physical contact with them. This is a passive addition to all attacks/heals although Itori can turn it off at will. Both the draining of others and draining of self can each be done once per post and can't by used to bypass regeneration maximums.
Heavenly Fox: As a white kitsune Itori has the potential to become a deity if she survives long enough to gain her ninth tail. Because of that all of her magic has a light/holy aspect added to it, and the healing power of her spells is increased by 40% with a 5% increase per rank above D. However due to the complex and mystical nature of the kitsune's powers light/holy slayers cannot eat her magic unless they are also spirit/soul slayers.
Nine Tails: Kitsune are infamous due to the stories about mighty nine-tailed variants, the pinnacle of their species that can craft the strongest of illusions with just a thought. At D-Rank Itori has one tail, and for every Rank above that she gains two additional tails (with a maximum of nine tails at S-Rank). These tails grant her 40% additional mana with a 5% increase for every rank above D. Her mana regen is also increased by 1% per rank, capped at 5% per post at S-Rank.
Swift Spectre: Due to their spiritual nature kitsune sometimes have a mysterious and uncertain connection to the physical realm. The laws of physics don't always hold them in the same way that they hold others, which automatically causes their speed to match that of the fastest person of the same rank within burst range with an additional 10% of that person's speed on top. If Itori is the fastest person around she passively gains a 40% increase to her speed and reflexes with a 5% increase per rank above D.
Venerant Vixen: Kitsune lead extremely long-lives, and with that comes a mind which is capable of remembering much more than what a mortal mind is limited to. Because of this Itori has 5 additional spell slots for one of her magics and her magic damage is increased by 40% with a 5% increase per rank above D. These additional spells are made and graded like normal spells.
- Plot Abilities:
Blessed: As a white kitsune Itori's healing has a quality to it that allows her to restore lost body parts both for herself and for others, although to use it on others she'd need to be in physical contact with them. This also requires too much time and concentration to be used in combat.
Charm: One of the most well-known abilities of kitsune, Itori has a supernatural charm that makes most creatures positively inclined towards her. She can also use this effect on purpose, focusing the effect on a single creature or group. This does not work on player characters without OOC permission and the effect isn't strong enough to make an enemy stop attacking (unless particularly weak-willed, such as weak monsters).
Divination: Reading omens and receiving visions Itori can get a grasp of what the future holds in store for her and people close to her. This form of divination is too imprecise to be of any real use in combat, and merely helps Itori prepare for potential events in the future.
Dreamer: Similar to her ability to possess Itori can also make herself manifest inside the dreams of others. She can't use this to harm them and naturally requires them to be dreaming in the first place. While inside someone's dream she still has control over herself although she has to follow the rules of the dream. This doesn't work on player characters without OOC permission.
Empathy: As a strongly spiritual creature Itori can connect with the souls of others. Through voice and physical contact she can receive and transmit feelings and thoughts.
Flight: Using the fact that her interaction with reality is flexible Itori can make herself fly, although she can't move any faster than she could on the ground.
Ghost: Due to the spiritual nature of kitsune Itori can phase between the physical and spiritual realm, allowing her to move through physical and spiritual objects as long as they aren't enchanted/reinforced with magic. She can't use this to move through anything which has a strong presence in both realms. Due to this taking a lot of concentration she can't use this effectively in combat.
Immortality: Itori's physical body is immune to the negative effects of ageing and her spirit can survive without her body. If her physical form were to be damaged or destroyed she can either restore it or form a new body, although the latter is a complicated and difficult process (once killed in a thread she won't return unless a resurrection ability is used).
Invisibility: One of the simplest forms of illusions, Itori can turn invisible at will. This only affects visual perception, meaning that all other forms of detection still work (hearing, smell, magic, supernatural). She can also hide herself from other forms of perception, but only one at a time and she can't hide herself from magic/supernatural sensory this way.
Invocation: Itori can create small flames, sparks and lights at will, although these are too weak to be used as attacks. She can control what she invokes up to a decent distance from herself, which she mostly uses to guide lost travelers using floating lights.
Omnipresence: Once Itori gains her ninth tail she gains the ability to 'throw' her perception. This effectively allows her to gain visions of events happening in different locations. She can't use this to spy on locations which block supernatural perception and she can't perceive anything that she wouldn't be able to perceive if she were there in the flesh/spirit. She also can't use this to obtain secret information on player characters without OOC permission.
Possession: An example of the more mysterious (and worrying) powers of kitsune, Itori can possess other creatures as long as they have a soul. This has no effect on player characters without OOC permission, and also doesn't work against anything with a strong will (doesn't work on event bosses). When possessing something Itori shares their senses.
Senses: Just like a fox a kitsune's senses are very sharp. Itori's eyes aren't any better than a human's but she can see in the dark, and her nose is as sensitive as that of a bloodhound. Her ears in particular are extremely good, so good that she often prefers to keep her eyes closed because she feels like her ears do a better job of perceiving the world around herself.
Shapeshifting: As everyone knows kitsune are infamous shapeshifters, able to make themselves look like a normal human, a fox or even something as grand as a tree. This does not grant her any new combat abilities however.
Siren: Itori's voice is beautiful to the point of enchanting. With skilful use she can control feelings, perception and even thoughts, to the point of directly influencing the actions of others. This has no effect on player characters without OOC permission and strong-willed creatures (event bosses) can resist the effects.
