The Dragoon

Primary Magic: The Dragoon
Secondary Magic:
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Zak's Magic, "The Dragoon", makes use of 8 rare gems to transform his armor and weapons into Magic Arsenals. Although "Dragoon" Armors have wings, they don't give true flight; rather, they increase his air-time from a leap a great deal, giving him a small semblance of flight until Zak reaches full strength. At which point, true flight is attainable. "The Dragoon" also enables different types weapons to be enhanced with certain Elemental abilities. Typically, swords will gain Fire attributes, polearms will gain Air/Wind attributes, daggers and fist/knuckle weapons will gain Thunder attributes, axes will gain Earth attributes, hammers will gain Water attributes, and bows will gain Light/Holy attributes. Any exotic weapons will gain Shadow or Void attributes. The armors that correspond with each Spirit will gain defensive attributes of the same element, typically reducing damage from that element.

Strengths: Because Dragoon mages can equip multiple weapons and armor, they are tactical combatants and can quickly change styles. Even during combat they can change armors and weapons to suit their needs. Each Spirit transformation is also practically instantaneous, making it quick to change the tactic in a battle. The weapons and armor also come in many different shapes and sizes, allowing the mages to combat anything that comes at them with the right equipment. This makes them prime combat fighters for quick fights.


Weaknesses: Although good for quick fights, the weapons and armor equipped by the mage can be broken, making prolonged fights dangerous. Using the Spirits and their Magic also drain quite a lot of magic, another reason why prolonged fights can be lethal. Each Spirit is also specific to one weapon and armor, meaning the more Spirits one activates, the more magic is expended. Spirits must be chosen tactically in order to give off a winning fight.


Abilities/Powers: Every Spirit provides flight-like capabilities and provide the corresponding weapon elemental attributes to regular attacks. Also grants Resistances according to the Spirit's Element (Resistance Table at bottom).

This is ready whenever, btw. And before I get asked: the table is planning. I posted it so that I can remember which spells were which Rank.

The element for each spell in the table is color coded. Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light/Holy, Lightning, Shadow/Darkness, Void/None. I could probably add more later: Metal, Nature, stuff like that, but I'm not sure yet.

← I even added my Guild Tattoo. :D

The concept of spells only being available to Dragoon mages is still very unclear to viewers of this application. Please work to explain it in the description of your magic. In addition, the elemental damage reduction is too high. 95% fire reduction? This is not only a staggering number, but also you have no specified what rank it can withstand. For all we know, you could be taking a S-Rank fire attack and receive 95% less damage from it. This applies for Electricity as well and all other spells related to taking reduced damage. Please work to fix this. Your flame shot spell needs to have a rank limit. This means that you need to state how strong the spell is in terms of rank (e.g. This spell can break through D-Rank magics easily). Your Atomic Mind also suffers the same problem. Bump when finished.

Um... I changed the wording for the "Spirit" Spells and adjusted the resistance to vary from Rank to Rank of the Mage. I've provided a table. I could reduce the resistances a bit if need be. If that's not what you had in mind, though... q_q

I think I've fixed the Offense Spells. I'm not quite used to this system yet.

Bump?

How much resistance to their elements do the spirits grant?

I added a table at the bottom of the post. I also stated in the Ability section that I added a Resistance table...

Bump...

What does once per self post mean? Also, you're going to have to elaborate a lil'more on the chart. I can't seem to understand what you're trying to say.

It's really simple... The Table itself tells you...

Table Title wrote:Mage Rank vs Attack Rank

The left column is the Mage Rank and the top row is Attack Rank.

Self-post = When I post.
Post = When I post or when another person posts.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but just about any other RP site I've been on uses "Self-post" cooldowns/durations/similar to denote the difference between the user's posts and another's posts. Personally, I don't see how this was so difficult...

I would like to correct you on there; when referencing on post cooldown and or durations, when you simply put POST it is YOUR POST only that is counted. "This spell lasts 4 posts" is an example. However, if you want to include the opponant's posts as well, you go "This spell lasts for the next 4 posts." This can be done with armor or shields or something that is available constant. Which actually gives me a good idea. Anyway just thought I would like to correct you there for a moment.

and the reason we don't do the "self-post" thing; is because so far no one has really been demanding such a device to be added. This site just got out of beta so we are still in development here and hope to get better in the future. If you wish to have us talk about it; we will give it consideration.

Personally, I can use either one. I'm just used to using "self-post" because people on other sites kept pestering me. I'll change it right now.
