Straw Magic
Magic Name: Straw Magic
Magic Type: Lost
Description: A magic unique to the owner, Jacqueline Nickel, Straw Magic was created in an attempt to help her farm prosper when she was a child and although the farm proved to benefit from its usefulness, it was forbidden by her father. At first, it was to keep the corn safe by creating scarecrows, but then Jacqueline found other uses for it and practiced in secrecy. Her straw is not normal by any means as it is enhanced by magical properties. This means that while straw may not be the best material for fighting, her various uses of it may prove to be dangerous and efficient given the right opportunity. Scarecrows, dolls, traps, you name it! These are the properties of Jacqueline Nickel's spectacular Straw Magic and she's capable of much, much more!
Straw magic, while as unique it is, it has an equally unique way of being used and Jacqueline knows the in's and out's of this magic. Her techniques are derived from her farming skills which have been developed into a fighting style all on their own. Scarecrows are her specialty and she doesn't shy away from the theme too often...Crows are annoying creatures and humans scare just as easily! Her straw magic may also be used to restrain her opponents because nobody expects a scarecrow to come to life and attack someone they are great for surprise attacks! Another aspect of this magic is the sharpness of the straw, being used to threaten or attack opponents with their sharp ends.

Description: A clean escape, a perfect getaway, that's how Jacqueline pictured her escape from the farm being. It was anything from perfect and slick, it was messy and dramatic. Now, that's all Jacqueline does. She flees at the slightest sign of failure and she does it flawlessly! Forming a handle by weaving straw in her palm, she creates a traditional broomstick that can serve as a household cleaning object, but its main purpose is transportation!

Description: A farm is supposed to be bustling with workers, right? Well, in an attempt to scare off the crows and save her farms crops, Jacqueline made scarecrows to imitate people working in the fields. Mediocre attempts that were just straw and pumpkins tied to a post, but they soon became more, much more. Jacqueline soon was able to make scarecrows, look-alikes, imitations of real people. Even if you looked hard enough, you’d never be able to tell that the scarecrow in front of you was just that, a scarecrow. Their purpose is to trick and deceive, but when someone gets too close, they explode into splintering quills of straw.

Downside:- This actually counts as a redirecting spell, meaning Jacqueline must pay the cost of both this spell and the one she is protecting herself from.
Description: Everyone needs a safety blanket, something to protect them while they adventure this dangerous world. In Jacqueline’s case, it’s safety armor. Using her Straw Magic, Jacqueline creates armor for herself. Instead of a shiny breastplate and chainmail, it’s a prickly suit of armor. When an attack hits her while she’s in the armor, whether it be magical of physical, they will take the damage instead of her.
This actually counts as a redirecting spell, meaning Jacqueline must pay the cost of both this spell and the one she is protecting herself from. This can only be done once per post and on only works on D-Rank spells.

Description:
On the farm, Jacqueline hid from her father in a stack of hay when she practiced her magic. The stack itself was of her own creation. A hideout, something to protect her from the outside world and no one could look in with their judging eyes. Now, Jacqueline has reinforced this stack of hay to serve the same purpose, but with the mindset of shielding herself from attacks rather than hide in plain sight. The haystack protects her, as it did in the past, she can always rely on it.

Description: It wasn’t until those dastardly crows started attacking Jacqueline that she needed to fight for herself. By spinning straw in the palms of her hands, she can shoot strands of straw in every which way. Similar to the way a porcupine releases their quills when threatened. Jacqueline’s ‘arrows’ of straw are as sharp as needles and pierce just as well.- This actually counts as a redirecting spell, meaning Jacqueline must pay the cost of both this spell and the one she is protecting herself from.

Description: Singular strands aren’t always useless, but in the moments when they will do nothing against her opponent but blow away, she has this! Straw twists and weaves its way through the palms of her hands, forming a weapon, a scythe. Jacqueline slashes her target before the straw unravels.

Description: While Jacqueline specializes in defense, she has some powerful offensive spells in her arsenal and they just come naturally to her. She’s drawn to the danger! Covering her arm in straw, her arm soon becomes a gigantic claw with sharp talons. She slashes the arm forward in hopes of causing severe damage. This spell will either attack a single target or multiple, it can never do both at the same time.

Description: Every scarecrow needs something to hold them up, just like Jacqueline needs someone to boost her up in her darkest hours. Straw shoots up from the ground and creates a post in the shape of a ‘T’. The straw reaches out and wraps around her opponent's limbs, restraining them to the post like a scarecrow. And they are left at the mercy of Jacqueline. The restraint only lasts for one post, or for every other post during the duration of the spell.

Description: Sometimes it's better to push everyone away and instead of putting up walls, you create a tornado to get rid of anything that might cause you grief. Summoning up a storm of straw around her, the quills spin and gather, flying in all different directions, threatening to pierce eyes as they scratch all too close to them.
