❅ Blizzard Magic || Apusineq ❅
Secondary Magic: --
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Blizzard magic has many different origins, but the one that Althea practices originates in northern tundras and mountains. It was used to dispel potentially dangerous snow storms and protect villages by surrounding the settlement with harsh weather while the village itself had clear weather. The magic slowly evolved to include battle capabilities for self defence purposes and hunting. Blizzard magic didn’t spread very far from where it originated in the North, but the creators don’t mind teaching it to anyone who comes their way. It is a rather versatile type of casting magic that gives the caster the ability to manipulate the snow around them, as well as create their own and summon up powerful gales. Besides creating snow, the caster can also impact the temperature of the world around them along with the weather. It can be used defensively, offensively, or even decoratively and can be used in long or short ranged combat. Snow can be made to lightly cloak objects or pack together into a mass that has the ability to be as hard as steel. It can be made to affect a large or a precise area. Blizzard magic can also grant a resistance to cold, and even the mastery over ice if the user’s level is high enough.
Althea learned such magic from her deceased older sister who enjoyed traveling abroad and passed away due to catching an infectious disease on such a trip. Althea uses it completely for offensive purposes and more of less ignores defensive properties of her magic. But, she needs to make physical contact with snow before manipulating it unless it’s coming straight from her. A quirk of Blizzard magic is that the more advanced you are, the colder your body becomes. It also goes hand to hand with Althea’s passion and focus, meaning that her magic becomes stronger along with the weight of the task at hand and her concentration, although the opposite may also occur.
Strengths:
❅ A spell affecting a large area can be cast for an extended amount of time.
❅ Can be used for attacking one solitary person or a large army
❅ Spells can be cast very quickly if enough work is put into it
❅ Spells cost less in areas where snow is already present
Weaknesses:
❅ Spells covering large areas do not only leave enemies affected, but allies too
❅ If heart is not in it, spells won’t have much effect
❅ Snow not coming directly from the caster must be touched to manipulate
❅ Blizzard wizards typically have a low tolerance to the heat
❅ Slayers could consume snow or wind for a power up
- Lineage:
- Chaos Eye:
Description: A demon made a deal with a man that had lost vision in his left eye. The man was to become the demon’s vessel in return the eye would be restored to its full capabilities. As the demon’s usage of the vessel was no longer needed, the man settled down and had children. His children however unlike the man had one red eye that could predict a chaotic event.
Ability: The user can see a glimpse of the future for a brief minute, but causes great strain on the user’s body. Upon activation, the user of this lineages gains the foresight needed to predict enemy attacks and thus gains an increased chance to avoid them. It takes the appearance of ghostly echoes in their vision. Can be thwarted by the very skilled who react to your own reactions, or by others with similar ability.
Passively they can get visions of the future for plot reasons. They are occasionally plagued by nightmares of their own death.
Usage: Passive for plot purposes / Active for battle purposes. Active lasts for 1 post with a 10 post cooldown and even though the user knows the next move this does not mean they can dodge everything that post and the attacker can simply outmaneuver them if able.
- Unique Abilities:
- ❅ Fervor || Uummat - If Althea feels greatly invested in a situation and feels a great passion due to it, she will receive a 10% buff to Spell Damage and Speed for 3 posts, with a 5% increase for every rank-up (until A-Class). But, if Althea doesn’t care much for the situation the opposite will occur.
❅ Chill Resistance || Nillertoq - Because her magic is so focused on the cold, Althea has grown accustomed to it. Therefore, ice and snow attacks deal 15% less physical damage than usual, while fire ones deal 15% more. Althea can also see perfectly in any magical storm of her rank or lower.
❅ Spear Proficiency || Kulugiak - Before learning how to use magic, Althea was taught how to use a spear and many variants of it. Whenever she picks one up, her physical strength increases by 40%.
