Magic Name: Necrothurgy
Magic Type: Summoning (Primary), Ancient (Auxiliary)
Description: Necrothurgy is the practice of all things related to undeath. Predominantly, it revolves around the summoning of dead creatures that Cillian has used his magic to establish a connection with, but it has also allowed him to apply some undead properties to himself as well. His summons typically consist of zombies, skeletons, spirits, or any other type of creature that would fall into similar categories of dead or undead. He can create his own summons by applying Necrothurgy magic to corpses, or he can use his magic to reach out to spirits in the beyond and contract them to his service. The corpses and spirits are not limited to any type of species -- as long as they are dead, he can work with it.

The corpses and spirits are not limited to any type of species -- as long as they are dead, he can work with it.
Unique Abilities:
- Undead: Cillian’s body has absorbed so much necrothurgic energy that he eternally teeters the line between life and death. Because of this, he cannot truly die - if he is killed, his body magically reforms itself after a bit of recovery time, no matter how much damage it sustained. He can also communicate with and see the dead. Lastly, like every other undead creature he is immune to feeling pain.
- Endurance: His magic is almost constantly working to keep him animated, allowing him to heal from wounds faster than normal. He receives a 40% passive bonus to healing effects. This raises by 5% each rank until its final cap of 60% at S rank. Additionally, his health and magic power both regenerate at 5% per post. (Locked until B rank)
- Mastery: Cillian casts spells at a 50% cost reduction. (Locked until S rank)
Spells:
- Signatures:
- Name: Persistence
Rank: Signature
Type: Single Target
Damage: Max of Rank (Healing)
Range: Max of Rank
Speed: Max of Rank
Duration: 1
Downside:
Description: Necrothurgy relies on being able to keep bodies animated, especially his own. Once per post, Cillian can heal himself or an ally for the amount of single target HP appropriate for his current rank.

- Name: Odius
Rank: C
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 12hp
Summon HP: 100
Range: 60m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: In his life, Odius was the shaman for a small desert village. His powers focus primarily on hexes and curses that are designed to hinder his targets.
Odius is a crotchety old man that thinks Cillian is a moron and a dunce. He is highly entertained by the suffering of others, especially Cillian, and loves nothing more than spooking the living. He is hard of hearing (or at least pretends to be) and tends to heckle a lot during fights.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Hex Field
Type: AoE
Damage: 30hp
Range: 60m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: Odius puts a curse on all of Cillian’s targets within the range of the spell. All targets affected receive a 55% debuff to either their magical resistance or physical resistance for the duration of the spell. The castor must specify at the beginning of the spell what stat will be affected, and only one stat can be selected at a time.

Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 30m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: Passive
Downside:

Name: Rhonen
Rank: C
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 12hp
Summon HP: 100
Range: 90m
Speed: 65mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: Rhonen died of starvation generations ago on a remote island of cannibals. One by one everyone on the island died until it was just him and his wife, who was the last meal he had. His skeletal body is toxic from the ill effects of a lifetime of eating human flesh, which allows him to deliver poisonous attacks.
This particular summons doesn’t really say a whole lot. At least, not in any language that anyone but Cillian (or others who speak with the dead) can understand. Rhonen comes across as rabidly insane, often diving right into battle and attacking people without even being asked. He keeps his dead wife’s head on the end of his spear.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Breath of the Shrew
Type: Multiple Targets
Damage: 45hp
Range: 90m
Speed: 65mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: Rhonen plants the butt of his spear in the ground and faces the head of his wife toward his targets. Her mouth opens and spews forth a thick green mist of poisonous air. Poisoned targets take more damage from Rhonen, who receives a 55% increase to physical damage for the duration of the spell.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Predator of Man
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 30m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: Passive
Downside:
Description: As a cannibal that hunted intelligent prey his whole life, Rhonen is adept at every trick in the book to take his targets down. Targets that are hit by him suffer from 5% drains to HP and MP from his toxic aura up to once per post.

Summon HP: 100
Range: 60m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: As an ordained man of the cloth, Klaus was a minister and a wielder of holy magic. He focuses primarily on healing and support spells.
Even though he was a priest in life, he was also a closet homosexual. Now that he is dead, he has no reason to hide himself. Klaus is extremely friendly and flirtatious, but he also understands that most people are disgusted by him flirting with them since his body is now a rotting corpse. He always finds a way to stay upbeat and to have a good time.- Abilities:

Type: AoE
Damage: DoT (Healing) [15hp per post, max 75hp]

Range: 120m

Summon Melee Damage: 12hp
Summon HP: 100
Range: 30m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: 5

Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 30m
Speed: 30mps

Name: Aoide
Rank: C
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 12hp
Summon HP: 100
Range: 120m
Speed: 120mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: When Aoide was alive, she was an extremely talented mage that worked her magic through music. It was said that when she sang or played on her flute, people opened up to her about things they wouldn’t normally talk about and generally became more vulnerable to her requests.
Since she died on her wedding day, where she was killed by her husband-to-be who had become aware of her use of mind control on him, she still wears her wedding dress even in death. Aoide generally has a gentle demeanor, and comes across as approachable, kind, and sensitive. However, while she can be well meaning she is often manipulative, nosy, and judgemental.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Nightingale
Type: AoE
Damage: N/A
Range: 60m
Speed: 30mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: Aoide either sings or plays on her flute, lulling all her targets within the range of her spell into a magical slumber. This spell requires permission to be used on a PC or player owned NPC, as it affects the states of mind. It does no damage, but does drain 5% of MP to all targets for the duration of the spell.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Coaxing Melody
Type: Single Target
Damage: N/A
Range: 120m
Speed: 120mps
Duration: 5
Downside:
Description: Aoide’s voice or music causes the target to drift into a semi-lucid state that leaves them suggestible. While in this state, they will answer questions posed by Cillian and his allies truthfully, and even perform acts that would otherwise be uncharacteristic of them such as self harm or harm of others. This spell cannot be used on another PC or a player owned NPC without their permission.
- Spoiler:
Name: Virgo
Rank: C+
Type: Summon (Zodiac)
Summon Melee Damage: 42hp
Summon HP: 225hp
Range: 45m
Speed: 45mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Virgo is one of the twelve Zodiac spirits, and she is associated with the Earth element. Her abilities focus on earth related attacks, as well as hand to hand combat and channeling energy through the shackles on her wrists.
Her personality is extremely laissaz faire. There is not a lot that bothers her, and she is very eager to help Cillian in most circumstances, no matter how bizarre the job that needs done. She is also obsessed with punishment, mostly in taking it but she will deliver it as well. Virgo is generally fearless, and tends to speak her mind no matter how odd her thoughts might be.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
Name: Punishment
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 45m
Speed: 45mps
Duration: Passive
Downside:
Description: Virgo is extremely strong. Her physical attacks deal an additional 75% damage. She also regenerates HP at 5%.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Shackles
Type: Single Target
Damage: 90hp
Range: 180m
Speed: 180mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: The chains hanging from her wrist begin to glow and extend out to strike people from afar, tangling around the target in an attempt to restrain them. This attack causes immobilization every other round for the duration. Spell damage only applies to first round of the attack.
- Ability 3:
- Name: Earth Shaper
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 45m
Speed: 45mps
Duration: Passive
Downside:
Description: Virgo can dig through the ground effortlessly, no matter what it is made of. This allows her to make tunnels for escape, pits to trap enemies, or other types of non-damage dealing effects that come from being able to carve through the ground. Additionally, she is resistant to Earth based attacks, and her tough skin grants her a 50% resistance to physical damage.
- Visual:
Name: Moxie
Rank: C+
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 18hp
Summon HP: 150hp
Range: 180m
Speed: 180mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Moxie was a hooker and a drug addict when she was alive. She knew how to have a good time and often used her magic to do just that. Her magic focuses primarily on support and creating chaos.
She died doing exactly what she loved: drugs. The overdose took her with a cigarette in her mouth and a blissful smile on her face. Moxie is sassy and easy going, flirty and charismatic -- if also a bit rough and tumble. She tends to enable Cillian into greater trouble than he would normally get into on his own.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Ecstasy
Type: Single Target
Damage: 90hp (Healing)
Range: 180m
Speed: 180mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Moxie hooks up either Cillian or one of his allies with the good stuff. They heal HP per post as the sweet magical drug flows through their body. In addition, their strength or speed are increased by 85% for the duration of the spell. Only one stat can be increased at a time.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Hallucinogen
Type: AoE
Damage: DoT (18hp per post, max 108hp)
Range: 90m
Speed: 45mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Taking a long drag off her cigarette, Moxie blows out the smoke and fills up the area within the range of the spell. Anyone who breathes in the smoke is affected by random hallucinations that deal magic damage per post. Additionally, targets affected by this spell have their speed reduced by 85% for the spell’s duration, and are considered immobilized every other round as they must attempt to decipher fiction from reality. Since this spell has mind affecting effects, it cannot be used on a PC without permission.
- Spoiler:

Name: Azahl
Rank: B
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 19hp
Summon HP: 150hp
Range: 200m
Speed: 200mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Once an infamous wizard of his time, Azahl is a master of time manipulating magic. He uses it to see the past and future, and to boost Cillian’s prowess in battle.
Azahl is a bit of a mystery. When he speaks he doesn’t say much, and it’s always a bit difficult to read his thoughts and emotions. His face is completely covered by a mask, and he rarely offers information without being prompted or asked. Generally, he leans a bit on the heartless side and seems to have a very pragmatic attitude on most things.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Time Hop
Type: Single Target
Damage: 80hp
Range: 200m
Speed: 200mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Azahl hits his target with a blast of mysterious energy that knocks the target’s time out of sync with Cillian’s, allowing Cillian to appear to move more swiftly. For the duration of the spell, Cillian’s speed is boosted by 60%.

- Name: Time Warp
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 50m
Speed: 50mps
Duration: 6

Name: Butch
Rank: B
Type: Summon (Normal)
Summon Melee Damage: 19hp
Summon HP: 150hp
Range: 300m
Speed: 100mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Butch is a textbook gunslinger. He’s not great in a close quarters battle, but if Cillian needs something hit from a distance this is the summons he goes to.
This particular summons is a bit cocky and full of himself, or at the very least overconfident. Butch tends to talk himself up and is easily offended by insults to his skills. He talks down to Cillian a lot and mocks him often. Despite this, he is quite loyal to the necrothurg, and does not take well to others mistreating him. Basically, he views Cillian like an annoying little brother that he gets to pick on, but no one else does.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Sniper Shot
Type: Single Target
Damage: 80hp
Range: 300m
Speed: 100mps
Duration: 6
Downside: Speed is reduced by 100mps to increase range by an equal amount.
Description: It doesn’t matter how far away his target is, if Butch can line it up in his sights he will hit it. Physical damage is increased by 60% for the duration of this spell.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Elemental Rounds
Type: Multiple Targets
Damage: DoT (25hp per post, max 150hp)
Range: 150m
Speed: 110mps
Duration: 6
Downside:
Description: Butch has magically enhanced bullets that he can choose to fire in place of mundane ones. At the start of the duration, he loads his gun with a clip of bullets enchanted with either fire, ice, electricity, poison, or air (concussive rounds). The type of rounds do not make a difference in the amount of damage dealt, but are taken into account when dealing with targets that might have resistances or weaknesses to these elements. They can be eaten by slayers of the appropriate element. As an effect, his physical damage output is increased by 60% for the duration of the spell.
- Spoiler:
Name: Alistair
Rank: B+
Type: Summon (Grand)
Summon Melee Damage: 32hp
Summon HP: 270hp
Range: 75m
Speed: 75mps
Duration: 8
Downside:
Description: There are few that know of Cillian’s history and origins. Alistair is one of those few, despite being little more than a skeleton in a suit of plate armor. Once a member of Pergrande’s royal guard, Alistair was the reason that Cillian was able to escape to freedom before the country could kill him for practicing magic. Alistair’s abilities are entirely focused on melee combat.
Alistair is a bit of a father or mentor figure to Cillian. He is not overprotective of his master, but he does try to advise him as he sees fit. He sees through Cillian’s antics and doesn’t put up with his bullshit. Well mannered and friendly, Alistair tends to get along well with those who are willing to strike conversation with him, and shows respect to his enemies in battle.- Abilities:
- Ability 1:
- Name: Stalwart
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 75m
Speed: 75mps
Duration: Passive
Downside:
Description: Alistair is a relentless warrior. His strength is increased by 80%. Additionally, his health regenerates at 5% and the sheer brutality of his attacks drain his opponents of 5% HP each round that he lands a successful strike.
- Ability 2:
- Name: Tenacious
Type: Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 75m
Speed: 75mps
Duration: Passive

Description: Alistair receives 40% damage reduction for both physical and magical damage.
