Magic Name: Heaven’s Chosen
Magic Type: Ancient ((Solitary)) -- +50% to Spell damage
Description: The origins of this magic lay within the lore of a war, a war between two gods about the fate of Earthland. These gods, remaining unnamed, each wished for the opposite end; the female Goddess of War and Wisdom sought to protect Earthland and nurture it, while the male God of Death wished to destroy and recreate it. Each backed by their own armies they fought; the Goddess of War and Wisdom bestowed power upon humanity, allowing a select few to harness the power of the stars if they managed to awaken to their sixth sense and fuel their attacks and bodies with the energy of the cosmos. The God of Death called forth an army of former sinners, immortals at first, but later merely immortal souls within human vessels. Each wielding the power of the stars, but one side held the light, the other darkness. Whereas the God of Death’s army rose at full power and was endless, the Goddess of War and Wisdom’s army had to be trained up, generation after generation passing down their armors reflecting their guardian constellation. Each had their rank, with those guarding the Zodiac being the pinnacle, wielding armors of gold neigh-penetrable by even their enhanced fists, which could otherwise shatter mountains with a single punch. The first war ended in a draw; the Goddess of War and Wisdom doomed to reincarnate as a human every 200 years, whereas the God of Death, whom’s body had been mortally wounded, locked it back into the underworld and every 200 years took the purest and innocent human child as his vessel to destroy Earthland. This Holy War happens every 200-ish years, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes without the world realising what’s at stake, unknowing of the battle being waged for its fate.
Albafica, having been laid in the vicinity of their headquarters after fate had left him orphaned, was taken in by one of the masters of the Zodiac, whom call themselves Gold Saints, and raised as his own and next successor. He grew up learning the Way of Pisces, which was an awfully poisonous and cruel one, yet having become one of the last young saints-in-training, received training from all other Gold Saints in order to preserve their power were they to perish. Through it he learnt to harness the light of the stars, its fire, water, the winds, its solid earthen core, and the actual energy that made up all these elements. He was capable of wielding all said elements, using them as if they were the real deal, yet not holding their true core. He could erect barriers of flames burning his opponents, yet they would not have any burns upon their body, despite having felt like being on fire. Attacking their nervous systems their bodies believed it to be as such, where it actually wasn’t. On non-magical objects he could manipulate the energy as such to make it act like the real deal; using the particles within the energy to combust a tree, liquidize the ethernano to make the energy like water,... . Through this, he was hailed a prodigy, yet he never got to ascend to become a true Saint. The headquarters of the Saints were attacked by the God of Death’s troops, called Spectres, and nearly all were eradicated. Albafica survived, having been forced to hide by his masters while they combated the Spectres to the death. The youth could do only one thing, paralysed by fear; observe. His mind unconsciously learnt the basics and elements the spectres used, allowing the young Saint to wield that one element he was never supposed to wield; darkness. Through it his body couldn't uphold the mastery of all those elements; only after strengthening his body will he be able to use all of them freely again.
A year passed, and Albafica decided to leave the ruined Sanctuary behind, carrying the hopes, dreams and will of his masters and fallen comrades. Growing stronger within a world he did not know. His body adapted to the dents in his magical power, and overtime started channelling his masters’s Will into their spells and techniques; even going as far as to have them manifest into his own body, transforming temporarily to properly harness the magic taught by their respective Saint.

Name:
Prosperous Celebration
Description & Appearance:
In the past, there had been a small town in the northeast part of Midi that had fallen on hard times, mostly so because of the brutal lord that ruled over them. The Lord had taken everything leaving the town with little, leaving many dead or starving through the lack of food. This happened for many years, and over that time many attempts had been made on the Lord's life, naturally, all failing, those committing these acts of despair turned into an example for the others. They had no idea how to make their existence even slightly better. A young girl, however, had noticed a pattern of a forest nearby which, to her, hadn't been there before. Taking a little food and some incense, she left home on the night of a full moon, knowing even at her age that her actions were dangerous. Still, she pushed forward with her small bag, following the path. It was almost like she was being guided to what would be her final destination, laying eyes on many scary things from the corners of her eyes, but remaining brave, closing them as she moved on, believing the gods would protect her.
After what she perceived as months and months of walking she came to a rundown temple in the centre of the forest. She was was already hungry from what the Lord had been doing to her town, but had refused to eat what she was carrying, feeling that her motive was more important. Placing the small offering on the alter she prayed, pleading for what was happening to those she knew would come to an end, that they were good people who worked hard. Tears had been falling from her eyes as she prayed, hoping the divines would hear her prayer and take pity on her and the town. After she had finished she went back the way she came and again, after what had seemed like months, exited the forest, learning that in reality, only an hour had passed from when she left her house to when she entered it once more. While she was asleep, she was visited by a strange dream about a celebration that should be held, imploring her to forget about the darkness and sorrow within their little world.
In the morning, she ran to the elder of the town's home and explained everything, from entering the forest, the journey, the prayer and the dream. The elderly man took it as a sign from the gods and made preparations for the festival to take place on the day of the next full moon. It had taken months of doing so, given the hardships the Lord placed on them. Still, the town managed it finally. On the day of the festival, decorations were placed everywhere, schools and businesses closed for the day and everyone celebrated what they had forgotten along with the worries that would come at the end of it. Ever since then it was rumoured that the town prospered, as no matter how much was taken from them there was always enough to keep everyone happy and healthy. Through these circumstances, over the years, the town even had become a tourist attraction. As for the lord that had caused so much sorrow ... well, no one really knows.
Abilities:
Prosperity of the Gods: The gods are said to look down upon those on the mortal plains and on occasion share their own good fortunes upon them. This ability allows the one blessed by them not only double jewel from jobs they finish but also a 20% discount when buying items from an NPC shop. The discount only applies to items bought for the account that wields this lineage. If items are bought for another player or traded to another player in the future the full price of the item must be paid.
Knowledge of the Gods: The gods occasionally gift divine knowledge to the ones who they deem worthy of such a thing. This ability gifts the one who wields it 5 additional spells slots to be used in one of their magics (One of each rank up to S, classed as lineage spells, independent from the spell slot maximums). These spells are classed as spells belonging to magic with Solitary Lost benefit and thus get an increased duration of up to 3 posts, but also cost 25% more MP to cast. In addition to that, the wielder also gains a signature spell for each magic that ranks with them up to A (is not independent of the magic). All spells follow the same rules and guidelines as other spells and still are to be graded as normal.
Bountiful Sharing: The wielder understands how blessed they are and so decides that they want to share the gifts they have received. This ability allows them to share 25% of any of their own buffs to their allies so longs they are within their rank burst range (passives/spells/abilities from magic/armor/weapons/items. Any buff or ability cast on the user is not shared in this way). The wielder themselves also gain a 50% MP cost reduction for spells cast.
Protection of the Gods: The gods give their protections to those who are willing to stand against the tests of life. This ability grants the bearer of the lineage a 50% increase to both magical and physical damage resistance.
Strength of the Gods: Strength comes in many ways and even the divines know this, the blessing of this ability is that they may never buff their physical strength, and their physical strength will never increase beyond that of a D rank wizard. Their spells, however, gain an additional 10 HP of damage at D rank which slowly increases by 10 additional damage for every rank thereafter up to S, totalling at 50 HP.
Concealment of the Divine: Every now and then being forgotten or going unnoticed is the best way to go. This blessing grants the ability to hide one's true self. This grants the user the ability to create illusions that can give them new appearances, mask their magic and spiritual signatures and even give them a different blood type. This ability is toggled and as it is not classed as magic, and thus can be used in magical dead zones.
