Seiryūken
Magic Name: Seiryūken (Fist of the Sacred Dragon)
Magic Type: Ancient Magic (Solitary Benefit: + 50% to Strength)
Description: While many consider this to be more of a martial art style than a form of magic, it can be easily described as magic, as it, like any other magical power, can only be learned by a mage. It is an ancient fighting style, which is believed to have been developed and used in the ancient lands that are known today as Midi, long before the Samurai rose and the Eastern Empire established the nation. It is believed that this form of combat seeks to transform the body to a useful weapon, and rely less on weapons which can be disarmed.
A practitioner of the Seiryūken utilizes lightning fast speed, brute strength and spiritual energy (usually referred to as “chi”) to overwhelm opponents in combat. Most of their attacks are physical close quarter combat, so they must rely on evasion or tanking attacks while bridging the gap between their opponents and themselves. Chi is therefore used offensively and defensively. It empowers attacks, enables superhuman feats of movement, and can even manifest physically in what appears to be a brightly colored flame (it is anything but fire, mind you) to form solid constructs or augment offensive power, and heal personal injuries. Although it is unnecessary to execute the technique, Seiryūken practitioners tend to mention the move they execute, as force of habit.
Having learned the Seiryūken from a previous mentor, Levinia is improving her prowess as a practitioner of the Seiryūken. At the height of her skill, she can use this ancient power to lift and toss gigantic objects that even strong folk would be hard pressed to move, deliver attacks that can send even larger-than-life opponents flying many meters, perform inhuman acrobatic maneuvers, fire energy blasts to obliterate her opponents, and construct physical weapons from chi with which she can contend with an armed opponent. The weapons she can form are as ornate or detailed as her mind wishes them to be, but they can only be close quarter weapons. Like her weapons, the energy blasts can take up almost any color or form. Please note that no matter how physical the attacks look, as a magic form, unless otherwise stated, they deal normal magic damage.
Levinia’s combat form, although more fluid than rigid, favors acrobatic kicks, swift powerful punches, grapples and throws. She can also use weapons (preferably light weight weapons) to make flurried, deadly attacks.
Unique Abilities:
- Kasai no Tamashī (Soul of Fire):
The Seiryūken practitioner, through ardent training, unlock the power of a Calm Soul. They become more in tune with the energy that flows within their bodies, and can thus manipulate it with greater ease than the average Jane or Joe. This power enables Levinia to perform insane and unnatural aerobatic techniques, such as running on walls, jumping incredible distances (about 7 meters vertical height), kicking off the air to improve her jump heights, execute dizzying somersaults without feeling dizzy, and defy gravity for short periods to perform unnatural attacks with uncanny accuracy. Being in tune with her chi grants her a 5% Magic Power regeneration per post. - Kashiwa no Karada(Body of Oak):
The Seiryūken practitioner, through further training, discovers the balance between the physical body and spiritual energy. Levinia’s chi permits her tissues to regenerate constantly, giving her a much hardier physical form when compared to others on her level. She has the ability to ignore pain (but will still feel it fully, though), although this does not protect her from being knocked out or succumbing to fatal injuries and dying. She can receive an arrow to the leg, for instance, but still sprint at top speed, or take a stab to the side and keep fighting, and can ignore inclement natural environments (as long as such environments are not generated by magic). This improved body grants her a 5% regeneration to HP per post, whenever she receives damage.
RP Mechanics: Levinia can regenerate lost tissues and limbs from injuries naturally and almost instantaneously, in a couple of seconds. Of course, the heavier the injury, the longer it takes to regenerate. She tends to be much more energetic than the average person, and wakes from being unconscious faster than the normal Jane or Joe. - Unlocked at S Rank:

Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst
Damage: 80 HP
Range: 50 meters
Speed: 50 meters per second
Duration: 6 posts
Description: This technique was designed mainly to knock away persistent pursuers, or free oneself of bonds. Bright orange chi basically explodes out of Levinia, damaging any enemies caught in its blast and thrusting them backwards violently. When this happens, an orange halo sticks to the victim(s), draining them of 5% of their MP per post, over the period of the technique.

Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Multitarget
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 150 meters
Speed: 110 meters per second
Duration: 6 posts
Description: Levinia takes a stance and swirls her arms in a somewhat circular motion, as glowing, blue-white spheres of chi coalesce around her. She then gestures, and the projectiles fly towards their targets, leaving a trail that makes them resemble comets. Targets successfully struck by these projectiles suffer a debuff of 60% to their speed.

Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target

Duration: 6 posts
Downside: 50% decreased range for 25% increased damage
Description: A bright copious amount of chi, vaguely resembling fire, and of any color of Levinia’s choice, wreathes any limb of her choice. The limb she chooses to attack with determines the name she will call out when staging the attack: Ryūseiken for an arm attack and Ryūseikyaku for a kick attack. With the limb empowered by her chi, she delivers an explosive attack against her opponent. The chi further damages the opponent after the initial attack, visible as colored flames sticking to the victim’s body and burning away 5% of their HP over the period the spell is active.
Name: Kitaero: Tenrai (Forge: Tenrai)
Rank: B
Type: Weapon Requip (Single target)
Requip Damage: 21 HP
Range: 50 meters
Speed: 50 meters per second
Duration: 6 posts
Description: Levinia gives the command, and holds out her hands, palms facing outwards. Chi coalesces and forms a nunchaku with ornate designs of dragons etched into its baton shafts (dowels) and the end of each dowel resembles a beautifully carved dragon head. Each dowel is 1 foot (30 cm) long, and the connecting chain is 10 cm in length. The nunchaku has a pale glow, and is fiery orange in color. Although made purely of spiritual energy, it is just as solid as any physical weapon, and will persist even if it is disarmed, until its duration expires or Levinia wills it away. It can be used as a weapon, as expected.
Abilities:- Name: Kamu no Ryu (Dragon’s Bite)
Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 80 HP
Range: Melee/Self

Description: Once per post, the Tenrai nunchaku can release a pulse of power from the striking dowel to damage a single opponent for burst damage. - Name: Makiryu (Coiling dragon)
Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 80 HP
Range: 200 meters
Speed: 200 meters per second
Duration: 6 posts
Description: Levinia flings Tenrai at an opponent. While airborne, the weapon suddenly and swiftly changes form a bit slightly: the dowels become shorter and thicker, while the chain grows very long (5 meters in length). Looking a lot more like a meteor hammer now, the main objective of the Tenrai is to snag its target, with the chain wrapping round them to immobilize them, while the dowels crash into them and cause damage. It is used to pin down an opponent, to permit a more powerful attack, but after a post, the chain comes loose and the opponent is freed. Levinia can convert it back to a nunchaku, or keep it in the Makiryu form (but the latter implies that her fighting style must change to utilize the meteor hammer).
Name: Taiyō no Tate (Shield of the Sun)
Rank: B
Category: Defensive
Type: Single Target (Self)
Durability: 240 HP
Range: 50 meters
Speed: 50 meters per second
Duration: 6 posts
Description: A golden glow emanates from Levinia’s body, making her seem to be somewhat aflame. This aura is actually a powerful personal shield that covers her form and moves with her wherever she goes. Taiyō no Tate was designed to protect the user from damage, while ensuring the user could still be mobile enough to cover the distance between them and their opponent, in order to deal damage.
Name: Senkinomi (Sage Berry)
Rank: B

Range: 100 meters (50% decrease)
Speed: 300 meters per second (50% increase)
Duration: 6 posts
Downside: 50% decrease to range for 50% more speed
Description: Levinia brings her open hands close to each other, and a blue-white ball of chi materializes between them. As she thrusts her hands towards her target, the ball flies forward and unfurls, vaguely resembling an opening flower that slowly rotates on its horizontal axis. Usually, by the time it is close to the target, it has attained the size of a large beach ball, the “petals” have bent away from the target and are pointing backwards, transforming into a beautiful flux of energy. Within the flux, closest to the part facing the opponent, is a glowing yellowish sphere, the core of the Senkinomi. It explodes on contact, dealing damage and reducing the target’s ability to resist magical damage by 50% for the duration of the spell. Please note that the Senkinomi is just as effective in every stage of its ‘life’.
Name: Kagerō (Heat Haze)
Rank: B
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 80 HP
Range: 200 meters
Speed: 200 meters per second
Duration: Instantaneous
Description: Levinia stamps, punches the ground or even points at it. Whatever she chooses to do creates a massive spiraling shockwave of chi that starts at her feet and travels along the ground towards her opponent. If it connects, it causes damage and sends the opponent to the top of the spiraling vortex of energy, leaving them incapacitated and open to further attack at that point. This powerful technique can be utilized once every other post.- Name: Kamu no Ryu (Dragon’s Bite)

Name: Kakushō (Nuclear Palm)
Rank: B+
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst
Damage: 120 HP
Range: 75 meters
Speed: 75 meters per second
Duration: 8 posts
Description: Levinia recoils, drawing her arms backwards, then thrusts them forward, palms open, towards her target area. A massive spiraling sphere of brilliant blue-white energy expands from her hands to engulf the designated area (75 meters in diameter). If she executes this technique with her hands extended to either side of her, the Kakushō forms with her in the center of the sphere. If she is airborne when she performs the attack, she usually remains suspended in mid-air until the technique is complete. The Kakushō also reduces the ability of enemies caught in its blast to move (speed debuff) by 90% for the duration of this technique. It is worthy of note that any allies exposed to this chi attack will only experience a tingling of their skin, but will suffer no damage or ill effects.

Damage: 90 HP
Range: 90 meters (50% decrease)

Duration: 6 posts
Downside: 50% less range for 50% more speed
Description: Levinia jumps into the air and spins very fast (like a drill), as she plows into her opponent with both feet. In essence, she performs a double kick, while spinning like a drill and flying horizontally through the air. The force with which she impacts the target is usually capable of bringing her to an instant halt and transferring the spiraling motion to the target, which is flung away from her. Targets struck by this powerful kick suffer an 85% debuff to physical strength for the duration of the technique.

Speed: 200 meters per second
Duration: Instantaneous
Downside: 50% decreased range for 25% increased damage
Description: Levinia rushes towards her opponent, and executes a high powered uppercut with so much force that it lifts her into the air to a vertical height of about 10 meters, and also launches the victim of her attack even higher. Her punching arm is wreathed in thick ribbons of radiant chi that swirl around her body as she attacks. She may twist through the air (like a drill) or not; it all depends on how she feels.
