Magic Name: Shadow Arts
Magic Type: Ancient (Solitary Benefit: +50% Spell Damage)
Description: A subsidiary of darkness magic in general, the ability to manipulate shadow owes its usage to the ability to influence primordial darkness. As it is difficult to find a point in history where darkness hasn’t existed, the usage of this longstanding magic predates most concepts aside from chaos and void themselves. In turn, darkness manipulation has a great, ancient use as it is one of the first forces to exist. Possessing this magic, Joanna is one practitioner capable of manipulating darkness to her will.
Specifically, she manipulates shadows and tailors them to her liking. Whether it be shaping and solidifying them for the purpose of defense or attack, or moving through them for the sake of mobility, the Nyx descendant is capable of employing shadows for a great amount of purposes. The more shadow she has to work with around her, the easier it is for her to use her magic. The opposite is also true; the less shadows around her, the less material she has to work with, as the magic doesn’t exactly deal with creating shadows out of nothing; after all, a shadow is a lack of something, and perhaps that is why it could be described as the progeny of void.

Description: Manipulating the shadows around herself, Joanna wraps herself in a protective sheen of darkness to serve as a buffer between herself and offensive spells. This is done by solidifying the shadows to create what is essentially a thin-yet-durable protective barrier to cling to her body. When this is used, she looks like she is enveloped by shadows, creating a look for her that is reminiscent of a silhouette. This only lasts for the defined duration, but breaks prematurely should it suffer 120 or more damage.
Name: Shadow Diving

Type: Teleport/Burst
Damage: N/A
Range: 15 meters
Speed: Instant
Duration: 3 posts
Downside: N/A
Description: A spell that allows Joanna to travel through shadows, reappearing through another shadow within range by channeling her magic through and altering the properties of the shadows themselves. This essentially connects them from point A to point B. When utilized, it looks as though she sinks into the shadow before rising from another. However, this can only be used once per post.
Name: Darkest Night
Rank: D
Type: Area of Effect
Damage: N/A
Range: 30 meters
Speed: 15 meters per second
Duration: 3 posts
Downside: N/A
Description: A spell that darkens, gathers, and stretches the shadows in an area to the utmost degree. In doing so, Joanna heralds the devastating chill of night, the darkness not allowing for the warmth of light and literally sucking it out of the surroundings, with herself at the midst of it. As a result, those caught within the range will feel cold and impeded, moving slower courtesy of the plummeting temperature, debuffing their speed by 50%. This may only be used once per post.
Name: Dagger in the Dark
Rank: D+
Type: Single Target/DoT
Damage: 30
Range: 45 meters
Speed: 135 meters per second
Duration: 3 posts
Downside: Shorter range (50% less range), but faster than normal (50% faster)
Description: A very simple yet effective spell in her arsenal, Joanna creates a solid, razor-sharp throwing knife from the shadows around her, which she throws and propels with her magic towards a single target. They are pitch black, curved, and eight inches in length, bearing serrated blades that seem to oscillate. The oscillating and serrated characteristics gradually worsens the damage caused, encouraging large amounts of bleeding over time rather than dealing the highest damage immediately. May be used once per post.
