NUMB ANGEL
Magic Name: Numb Angel
Magic Type: Slayer - 1st Gen
Description:
Equality is the utmost paradigm of grace. Tess yearns to use her magic to bring about total happiness to all of Fiore. Numb Angel is a magic designed to fulfill her goal. Removing all pain and suffering from the world, one target at a time, Tess' intentions are made clear through her style of magical combat. With high mobility combined with single target damage, this approach takes advantage of paralyzing effects to knock out her opponent as quickly as possible to prevent them from experiencing any further suffering. Unfortunately, this magic is not as good in a skirmish or any situation involving more than simply herself and a single opponent. This weakness is compounded by Tess' inability to focus on more than one target a time, if that.
Stealth and quick endings are a vital part of Numb Angel, so the longer battles go, the worse events tend to transpire for Tess. Extended fights are disadvantageous. Additionally, most of her 'weaponry' attacks are formed out of Magic Power, or MP, with the benefit of being invisible to an enemy and visually undetectable except through specific spells. As a result, usage of this magic drains a lot of MP through the creation of these weapons, which require a large upfront cost in order to create. Furthermore, Tess is a mid to close range fighter. Her attacks are mostly counterable with Sensory, as one can pick up on her presence and figure out the placement of her aura. For PvP, all spells are visible to opponents and detectable.
Tess has three goals when using Numb Angel. First, either paralyze her opponent or knock them out, if they have not yet been injured. Alternatively, she also prefers to dodge long enough to find an opening to flee, if fighting is not unavoidable. The final scenario, though Tess has a habit of jumping to this one, is to do as much damage in as short of a span as possible in order to kill the target. This damage done is very useful when Tess is attempting to "fix" people and remove their pain and suffering. Before she fully commits to a fight, she will spend a lot of time dodging and attempting to avoid fighting, if someone else who is not hurt initiates combat. This does not apply if she is the one attacking on account of their pain or a similar situation. She usually saves serious offensive spells for targets that are already hurt in some way or have committed a crime in her eyes, such as acting on sadist tendencies and torturing people.
Numb Angel is Tess' take on Ice Devil Slaying Magic, also known as Ice Demon Slayer Magic. All of her spells utilise the ice element in combination with a holy aspect, which renders them extra effective against darkness or fallen enemies such as undead. Slayer rules and benefits can be viewed here.
Unique Abilities:
❅ Magic Breeze: Tess' magic contains qualities of the empyrean winds, high in the sky and nearly colder than the glaciers themselves. As a passive effect, she benefits from 50% more magic power, ranking up to S. Her body and magic are consequently blessed with an iciness that occasionally transfers to her magic. Natural weather events such as snow, hail, and freezing winds can occur in her vicinity up to a few kilometers of range. In PvP, this is a plot ability. Tess cannot influence the environment without others' agreement if they are present. To further her goals, this mysterious wind also passively grants her 5% magic power regeneration per post.
- MP Regen: By stacking abilities from passives, weapons, spells, lineages, abilities, and anything else on a character, MP regen per post can only max out at 5% per post.
❅ Unconditionally Freeing herself from society's values, Tess may teleport once per post within 50m. With the consent of the other party, she may teleport freely out of combat and bring along any additional player. When she casts abilities, they cost 50% less magic power as a passive benefit of Unconditionally. If she touches another player to activate Unconditionally and wills them to take on her magic, they receive the magic power cost reduction buff for 6 posts, while she loses that power during the period. That would require player consent for it to work. While Unconditionally is working for another character, nothing has necessarily outwardly changed. An affected character may feel more energized, or they could experience no effects aside from acquisition of the associated temporary ability.
- OTHER ABILITIES:
- Plot Effects:
❅ Pity Angel: Tess aims to end things quickly whenever she is fighting a wounded opponent. On account of this, the more damaged the enemy is, the more damage she passively deals. Depending on the amount of HP the target struck has, she causes increasingly severe injuries. If the target falls under roughly half HP, this effect kicks in to a greater extent, enabling her to do finishing damage. It should be noted that this execution damage is non-calculable and purely for purposes of plot only. In order to persuade others to accept her wishes, Tess can also influence them using her aura or killing intent to intimidate or soothe. Naturally, this requires permission to use with other roleplayers.
❅ Numbness: Passively, all of Tess' physical and magical attacks do not cause pain, unless specified in the attack description. This includes non-magical weapon attacks, as well as punches, kicks, etc. She may also extend numbness to other players' wounds, rendering their current pain null. Players this would work on have the option to disregard this and claim they felt pain from the attack(s), if it would better suit their RP, as their characters' feelings are their own. In regards to herself, Tess' own threshold for pain is extremely high, and she typically does not feel anything from attacks even if the damage is severe.
❅ Satisfaction: Tess aims to help others escape the misery of suffering by "fixing" them, and she is delighted when she is able to successfully complete her goals. Therefore, upon killing a target, Tess gains a rush of energy that begins to advance her natural healing and magical core regeneration. On stats, this has no effect whatsoever. She can transfer this energy to another player with their consent, through physical touch. As a pupil of the Ice Devil, her ability to withstand the cold is greatly increased. In addition, she is immune to the coldness and other effects of her own spells, provided an enemy did not cast it from a copy or reflection.
❅ Resonance: At any time, Tess' body may become one with the atmosphere, melting away into snowflakes. Equally, she may dissipate portions of her body into snowflakes without transforming the entirety of it. Naturally, this effect cannot take hold when fighting another character, unless an agreement is reached prior to its usage. Tess can also take advantage of Resonance to hover at the same speed she would be on the ground, her limbs or entire body lifted up as snowflakes.
❅ Ubiquity: The element of ice does not naturally occur in several environments, especially considering the temperature of the locations in question. Tess' magic has a universal quality where can create ordinary ice at will and is able to shape it into any reasonable form. Without the consensus of any parties involved, anything created in such a manner cannot be used in combat. Furthermore, Tess is able to enchant ordinary ice to become holy ice, blessed with purifying powers. On the reverse, she can extract holy or unholy tinges from ice and render it ordinary. Once again, this effect is not viable on players' ice without their acceptance.
❅ Pervasiveness: Typically, in temperatures higher than the freezing and melting point, ice eventually turns to water. Contrary to this presented circumstance, Tess' ice does not melt unless she directs it to with magic. She can also imbue ordinary ice or, with permission, the ice of players, to enchant it never to become liquid. Of course, this quality does not withstand player combat scenarios unless all involved roleplayers agree it may.
❅ Mystical: To a certain extent, Tess' body was forever changed by her encounters with the Ice Devil. Her melee attacks cannot deal physical damage, instead affecting their targets magically. Rather than take on physical visual characteristics of fighting, such as bruises or cuts, enemies damaged by Tess will usually show no sign of injury. Internally, however, their strength will slowly be sapped or numbed away by her abilities. The functionality of melee versus spell damage is unchanged, and spell damage buffs cannot apply to these "magical" attacks she may deal with melee strikes. In PvP, the transformative aspect of this ability may be forgone if another party involved finds it confusing.
- SPELLS & PASSIVES:
- B-Rank Passives:
❅ Winter's Chill: The slayer naturally emanates freezing power that brings the air around her down to a more comfortable temperature and can be beneficial for greater spell usage. Tess gains a passive buff to magic power of 50%.
❅ Influx of Ice: To prevent the heat of battle from affecting her performance, Tess regulates her influx of emotions. At will, she can deliberately shut off feelings such as rage, grief, and joy, in order to focus wholly on the task at hand. Passively, Tess' magic power is increased by 50%.- Icy Veins:

The target is inflicted by magical frostbite in the area, which seeps into their bones, giving them a chill. There is no pain associated with this ability, but they can feel that chill described by the magical frostbite. Visually, nothing should be out of the ordinary. However, as it deals damage, they may feel slightly weaker afterwards. It is up to the damaged unit and whether they are amicable to taking damage with a notable effect or not.

They resemble her in appearance, except for being made entirely from pale, blue ice. If the sculptures venture more than 135m away from Tess, they will dissipate into chunks of frozen water. Their speed is equal to Tess', as they are, in the end, replicas and share her physical limitations, however being magically enhanced their swiftness also has the speed of the spell.
