Description:
   Forbidden even in lands where regular necromancy is perfectly allowed, Bakeneko’s Curse is a very special and ancient magic which has originated in the East. Though not quite falling into the category of Lost magic, the Forbidden Necromancy can only be practiced by an actual Bakeneko, a cat yōkai with the power to naturally control the dead. Putting this ability as a focus of magic, it becomes a powerful ability which possesses deceased bodies. However, this is no different from regular art of necromancy. This magic’s true power lies within the ritual known as ‘Awakening’.

   If a corpse is awakened, the soul that once belonged to it is dragged back inside of the flesh and bones from afterlife or even oblivion, while at the same time its freedom becomes completely restricted. In other words, the ritual allows to created an undead which can act and think for itself, though its will completely belongs to the Bakeneko. Once awakened, the undead cannot disobey its master unless given an explicit permission to do so. This is why the curse is seen as forbidden almost everywhere and all Bakeneko who practice this type of magic are hunted down and slain when possible, sealed away when not.

   Kuro herself is not fully aware of this magic’s history, though she has no problem actually using it. In addition, she has learned how to manipulate the raw life force that flows through those awakened or even risen by this necrotic arts. Paired with sub-spacial magic of forgotten mists, she can summon her undead army at any point and to pretty much anywhere. And although she controls such powerful magical arts, she has so far been unable to truly reach its darkest depths because of her own physical shortcomings, as the girl is magically talented, but very frail in her yōkai body.

Necromancer’s Ward
   Mages which rely on summoned creatures are often quite weak themselves. This is especially true with Kuro, as the girl is especially physically weak, both her total health and physical damage permanently decreased by 75%. However, she is extremely talented in ways of magic, especially summoning and defensive spells.

   Not only are all of her defensive spells 40% more durable, but she also obtains a permanent ward that can by default block up to 2 spells of her rank (80HP). However, if this defense is destroyed, the ward will start using HP of any currently active summons of Kuro to block any further attacks until no more summons are present. Only then will the girl be actually susceptible to attacks.

Description: While the awakening ritual is a powerful ability that can permanently bind a deceased creature to a necromancer. However, this ritual takes a lot of time and energy, making it not very viable in combat. This is why the Bakeneko devised a lesser version which can awaken a deceased being temporarily. A corpse awakened though this power will scale to the spell’s rank and retain a single ability it had when alive. This ability cannot change until the summon is re-made and will always deal one type of damage along with one buff/debuff dependent on the acquired ability. If the corpse had no specific abilities, it will obtain a generic necromancer-based one. The scaling is as follows:

Single-target    60 Damage | 120 Meters | 120 m/s | 55% Effect | 5 posts

In this state, the Bakeneko will be able to clearly see life energy of living beings, even through solid objects.

    Mages which rely on summoned creatures are often quite weak themselves. This is especially true with Kuro, as the girl is especially physically weak, both her total health and physical damage permanently decreased by 75%. However, she is extremely talented in ways of magic, especially summoning and defensive spells.

    Not only are all of her defensive spells 50% more durable, but she also obtains a permanent ward that can by default block up to 2 spells of her rank (160HP). However, if this defense is destroyed, the ward will start using HP of any currently active summons of Kuro to block any further attacks until no more summons are present. Only then will the girl be actually susceptible to attacks. Sheilds are considered 'Active' abilities and therefore this ability requires a duration, you also need to state that if destroyed the shield cannot be restored within the same post but the post after.

Queen of Undeath
    As someone who is mastering the arts of resurrection and darkness, Kurome has become even more of a special existence than she already is. A new power swirls inside of her that allows her to use spells of all creatures she had summoned and are currently present on the field. However, doing so will count as the creature itself using the spell and thus it will still enter cooldown.

    Another effect of this new power appears to be an ability to self-resurrect. Though this takes a lot out of Kuro and cannot be done very often, she is capable of surviving lethal strikes. Her body will simply regenerate even the most brutal of wounds and the girl will awake once more. (Plot only, requires OOC permission from those in a thread where the ability is used.)

Effect: Necromancy revolves around concepts of life force quite a great deal. Corpses simply cannot move without it, rendering the arts useless. And while not directly tied to the art of necromancy, Kuro had learned how to make herself far more sensitive to this energy. Upon activation, her eyes will glow crimson and veins of blood red magical energy will pulsate on her cheeks. In this state, the Bakeneko will be able to clearly see life energy of living beings, even through solid objects.

Effect: Kuro can already warp her awakened to her location when needed, but she had learned how to utilise the sub-spacial forgotten mists for herself as well. Once per post, she can warp herself to anywhere up to 15 meters away. She also can use this power to warp her undead as well, though only by switching spots between two of her undead or an undead with herself.

Description: A black hound with glowing red eyes, this beast has been revived by Kuro as her servant despite her intense dislike of such creates. While this might mean she will not directly interact with it, she will still no have problem unleashing it at her unfortunate victim and have it devour them whole.

Damage: 30
Effect: Cloak of Woe is a peculiar spell that covers the user in pure necrotic energy that will corrode anything that gets close enough. Due to the difference in small range and high speed, it becomes extremely difficult to deal with for those who wish to attack from close range. Not only that, the very same energy will coat any attacks of the user, increasing their damage by 55% Is this Spell or Melee damage?

Damage: 90
Effect: Gathering as much necrotic magic inside of her as she possibly can, Kuro will release this attack and create a rather devastating explosion that will not only errode the bodies of those affected, but also forcibly tear out their souls. This effect counts as a stun as the souless bodies will be unable to move and the souls can return into them after one post. Those affected by this effect cannot be affected by it and other immobilization until at least one more post elapses.

† B-rank †

Name: Conjoined Terror - Divine Reaper
Rank: B
Type: Summoning
Health | Damage: 300 | 28
Attack Range | Speed: Melee | 50
Duration: 6 posts
Balance: Is limited to close-range attacks only ; 50% stronger melee damage / Has to be summoned alongside "Divine Prayer" ; The two summons share a single HP pool that consists of their life force combined.
Description: Divine Reaper is what many would describe as the image of terror itself. Appearing as a hulking mass of skeletons mashed into a single vaguely humanoid form helt together with visible green magical energy. Easily towering over 7 feet, the beast shambles from place to place and uses the blade of a scythe that is in place of it's right forearm. One thing that sets this summon as even more unique is the fact that it has to be summoned alongisde another undead, the Divine Prayer. For the two are the coinjoined terror and cannot be separated by any means.

Abilities:

Name: Conjoined Terror - Divine Prayer
Rank: B
Type: Summoning
Health | Damage: 300 | 0
Attack Range | Speed: 0 | 0
Duration: 6 posts
Balance: Cannot perform any melee attacks whatsoever / Prayer cannot move by itself / Has to be summoned alongside "Divine Reaper" ; The two summons share a single HP pool that consists of their life force combined
Description: Unlike it's counterpart, the Prayer takes on a form of fragile and small skeletal torso and skull with it's hands permanently stuck in a praying motion. In this form, the prayer is attached to the Reaper's back and reamins there completely immobile. It naturally also cannot perform any physical attacks or defend itself in any way. However, this is compensated for by possessing spells which are naturall stronger than those of its conjoined sibling.

Abilities:

Name: Ward Reinforcement
Rank: B
Type: Passive ; Burst
Range | Speed: N/a
Duration: Passive
Damage: N/a
Effect: The stronger opponents Kuro has to face, the more she has to rely on her protective ward. Her frail body is simply too weak to be able to take any hits and survive, that is the reality of things. For this very reason, the bakeneko had spent a long time ensuring that the ward is as powerful as possible, increasing it's durability by aditional 50%.

Name: Ashen Knight, Artemis
Rank: B+
Type: Advanced ; Summoning
Health | Damage: 225 | 43
Attack Range | Speed: 37 | 75
Duration: 8 posts
Balance: 50% smaller melee range ; 50% stronger melee damage Just 50% reduced range isn't enough to trade-off for 50% more base damage. You can either lower speed by 50% as well, or drop damage to 25% instead.
Description: Not your average corpse, the creatures of Ash are not of this world. Even Kuro herself doesn’t quite know where they came from, or what purpose they serve. All she knows that she had been given this corpse as a ‘gift’ when she left for Fiore. Finally powerful enough to perform the accursed rite of awakening, Artemis is bound to her will. Appearing as a floating torso of a reaper-styled knight with a scythe, Artemis will usually stick close to, if not right behind Kuro to aid her with melee attacks to anyone who gets far too close.

Abilities:

Description: A summoning spell that many might mistake for a Re-quip one instead. Upon casting, this ability will bring forth a flying greatsword, the blade made out of cold ash-colored iron and longer than the girl’s own body. It’s hilt covered in bandage wrapping, with part of the bandage moved revealing a peering eye, a yōkai that had possessed the weapon a long time ago. Not entirely alive, nor dead, Kuro was able to perform the accursed rite of awakening on the living sword and bind it to her own will.
