Magic Name: Legacy of Musashi
Magic Type: Requip - Solitary (Can have up to 4 requip spells active at once)
Lineage: Musashi's Descent. Ability: This ability grants the user great speed and lightning fast reflex. The user's speed is increased by a factor of 50%. Usage: Speed and lightning fast reflex is passive.
Description: Musashi was a legendary swordsman of the east who was also nicknamed the The Heaven and Earth Swordsman, a title given due to his spectacular sword attacks and combos that he performed with his two swords. Blessed with speed, lightning fast reflexes and unfathomable agility, he was swordsman without match on the battle ground. Eventually, Musashi retired from the battlefield. He had found a woman to take as his wife, and had children as a result. Musashi would tell them his great tales of his battles and powers, and the children held a strong desire to emulate their father.
The end result was that Musashi taught his children his fighting techniques and trained them ruthlessly to become exactly like him. This became a family tradition. A tradition that has survived to this day. Felix is one of the many people who have been descended from Musashi. However, some sects of his descendants seek to push the ability further. To master not only two specific swords, but as many as they can get their hands on. To become blessed with even greater speed and reflexes than the legendary warrior whom their teachings originate from. Thus, the Requip Magic known as the Legacy of Musashi was created.
Truthfully, the basis of Legacy of Musashi isn't particularly unique. It is quite simply, a style of Requip magic. However, its particular twist is what makes it unique. Unlike many other styles of Requip, Legacy of Musashi is designed around speed. It's users aim not only to emulate the man who left such a legacy, but surpass him.
That being said, the basis of Legacy of Musashi remains the same as the man's original teachings: Combat with two swords, emphasizing speed and flowing combinations of strikes. However, the users of this style do not simply stop at just mundane swords. These swords have all manner of abilities, and are inherently magical in nature, allowing for quite a bit of flexibility, even though they only use swords.

Description: A very simple longsword, Shadow of Musashi was the first sword that Felix was allowed to use upon finally unlocking his ability to use magic. It is a full sized, pitch black longsword, being around 106 centimeters in length. The weapon itself has no guard. However, the entire weapon has runes inlaid throughout itself, allowing it to hold abilities centric around the element of wind.- Ability 1:
Name: Musashi's Gale
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 40 HP
Range: 60 Meters
Speed: 60 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Description: For the most basic of swords, it only makes sense that it would have the most basic of abilities. Upon channeling a bit of Mana into the sword, the runes along the blade activate, gathering wind along the blade. And with a simple swing, a razor thin blade of gale force wind is sent flying from the weapon.
- Ability 2:
Name: Wrappings of Wind
Rank: D
Type: Passive
Description: While Shadow of Musashi is being used, the user faces far less air resistance as they move, granting them a passive 50% boost to speed for as long as the weapon is being held.

Downside: N/A
Description: One of the most stereotypical looking weapons in Felix's armory, Silverlight is the traditional European style longsword, with one exception. The sword itself is made of a metal that is quite literally pure white, and has trim of seemingly gold. The weapon is of similar length to any other longsword, being 106 centimeters in length, and balanced really well. However, it looks exceedingly normal, in spite of being an inherently magical weapon.- Ability 1:
Name: Musashi's Defending Light
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20
Category: Defensive
Type: Single Target
Durability: 120 HP
Range: 60 Meters
Speed: 60 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Description: With weapons attuned to light, the stereotype is healing or defensive abilities. Silverlight's first ability does indeed fall into one of these stereotypes, being a defensive ability. By channeling mana into the weapon, its wielder becomes coated in a thin veneer of light. However, this thinness does not mean that it is not strong. Since it is focused on the wielder of the weapon, this 'armor' is very powerful, for how average this weapon is.
- Ability 2:
Name: Musashi's Healing Light
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20
Category: Supportive
Type: Single Target
Healing: 40 HP
Range: 60 Meters
Speed: 60 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Description: The second ability of Silverlight, which also falls under a stereotype when it comes to light aligned abilities. This ability activates when the user raises the weapon over their head, channeling mana into it. In doing this, they heal themselves. However, raising it and pointing it in the direction of an ally will heal said ally instead.
Name: Last Words
Rank: D
Requip Type: Weapon
Grade: Normal
Requip Damage: 7 HP
Requip Durability: N/A
Range: 15 Meters
Speed: 15 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Compared to most of Felix's other weapons, Last Words is an odd duck. Whereas the majority of Felix's armory is comprised of longswords, Last Words is incredibly different, as it is similar in length and width to a greatsword, measuring in at 139 centimeters in length. And yet..the design of the weapon makes it possible for the weapon to be held in one hand and swung with great speed. While his other blades are solid in their construction, Last Words is made of a sturdy metal similar to Silverlight, allowing it to hold up in clashes even without being a single solid piece. It also comes in at a similar weight to all of his other weapons because of the design.- Ability 1:
Name: Musashi's Burst
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: AoE
Damage: 20 HP
Range: 30 Meters
Speed: 15 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Description: Each of Felix's swords holds some kind of magical power. The majority of them hold some kind of elemental ability. The same holds true for Last Words. And as should be fitting for such a large blade, it holds the elemental power of earth. To use Musashi's Burst, the sword must be stabbed into the ground. Once this is done, mana can be channeled through it, causing a large area to launch upwards into pillars of earth, dealing damage to everyone caught within the area.
- Ability 2:
Name: Step of Earth
Rank: D
Type: Passive
Description: While wielding this sword, the very earth beneath Felix's feet seems to assist in propelling him forward, granting a passive 50% boost to speed for as long as the weapon is being held.

Downside: N/A
Description: While most of Felix's armory is comprised of mix and match style blades, to claim that he does not own even a single pair of blades that is properly paired would be a lie. Smoke and Fire are blades that prove this point. Each blade is the length of a proper sword, clocking in at 106 centimeters in length each. Within the guards and handles of each blade, there are many small fire lacrima, allowing the blades to harness the power of flame to various powerful effects, giving Felix a weapon that has a bit more stopping power than his usual fare.- Ability 1:
Name: Heaven and Earth: Four Steps Slash
Rank: D
MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Multi-Target
Damage: 45 HP
Range: 68 Meters
Speed: 45 Meters Per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Description: Sometimes, two swords just aren't enough. Sometimes you need more blades. Unfortunately, Felix doesn't possess more than two arms. So instead, he relies on the Lacrima within Smoke and Fire. This ability emulates a supposed technique that Musashi had mastered. This technique caused his strikes to appear to be coming from four blades, rather than two, and was supposedly a technique that allowed the swordsman to stand his ground alone against even large groups of opponents. However, while Musashi was capable of this through sheer speed, Felix has a bit of a workaround. Channeling Mana into his blades, they suddenly become capable of leaving a trail of fire behind them as they are swung. In doing this, Felix can chain together multiple swings, recreating Musashi's trick as the speed at which he swings causes the 'trails' to take on the shape of each blade, effectively allowing him to strike multiple opponents at multiple angles 'simultaneously'.
- Ability 2:
Name: Heaven's Fire
Rank: D
MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 90 Meters
Speed: 90 Meters Per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Description: Sometimes, fancy tricks end up leading nowhere. Sometimes you just need a decisive blow. For Felix, Heaven's Fire is one of those techniques. Upon channeling mana into Smoke and Fire, Felix lays the two next to each other as flat as he can manage. As a result of this, the blades begin to resonate and take on a bright red glow before they suddenly let loose a torrent of fire several times wider than the blades themselves, engulfing a target with a veritable ocean of flame.
