Magic Name: Frozen Armory
Magic Type: Primary: Requip / Auxiliary: Caster
Description: The armory is not so much a family heirloom as it is a curse, haunted by ancestral spirits and weapons with forgotten legacies. Some ancestor, long ago, was a king of a southern land. He was betrayed by his people and driven from his lands. The king had to strip every gem and scrap of gold from his armory just to ensure the safety of his family. Yet his people hunted him all the way to frozen wastelands far to the north.. The bearer of the armory dreams of this place. The dark. The cold. Only the pale, rolling aurora provides any comfort. These things are etched into his soul. It was in these lands that the king built a castle to protect his family. Its location, however, is lost to time and buried beneath snow and ice.. The weapons and the spirits of the king’s lineage now live through his descendants, as does the ice and the aurora itself.
Elias is heir to a legacy he does not understand. He was raised to be a courtier, always looking for a political upper hand. Elias ran away from that life and now the Aurora expects him to be a warrior. The Frozen Armory contains swords, spears, flails, armor, hammers, or any weapon a knight might wield. Ancestral memories of these ancient arms and armor flow through Elias every time he summons them. Each time he does so, he retains a little more. Only time will tell whether his memories are being supplemented or replaced.
Elias prefers honorable combat, just like the knights in fairy tales. The Aurora allows this up to a certain point, for battle is a messy affair. The only thing that matters is Elias’ victory - and survival. To that end, Elias is also capable of conjuring ice and the Aurora’s cold light as tricks and traps to supplement his martial skills.
- Prince of the Aurora: (Passive) (D-Rank) Every spell is laced with the Aurora’s enchanting pale light. While any spell or requip is active, its bearer is slightly more swift.
- The Ice is Eternal: (Passive) (B-Rank) The Aurora may be cold, but it protects its own like an armor over the soul. Bearers of the Frozen Armory can conjure auroric light to heal their wounds.
- Lineage:
- Description
Elias comes from one of the more influential families within Minstrel.When he was small he would hear the legends of knights from all over earthland and, just like any young boy, he wanted to become one himself. To be a knight and go on heroic quests. .
One of the first places he wanted to visit was the kingdom in the farthest point of the Silent Glaciers where it was said that the Aurorian Knights were said to have served and protected their kingdom. This was a dangerous journey as he would not only have the elements to deal with but the lords and ladies of snow, they were as deadly as they were beautiful as it was said that their entire race had been trained from birth to be information gatherers and assassins. After many months of travelling in the dangerous lands he finally made it and saw that it was in ruins though he couldn't tell just how long ago it had happened. Walking through the frozen destruction he finally came to the castle, it was clear that it had been attacked and so went inside seeing that the place had been looted for the most part but was in one piece.
Deeper and deeper he went until he found a bedroom sealed by runes as if it was being protected from the outside which caught him by surprise. With a little bit of force he managed to go through thanks to the fact it had worn down without someone there to keep the magic of the spell strong. It was clear that this was the room of a truly loved little boy and unlike anywhere else that he had seen this room had remained untouched. Something however caught his eye and that was a light that seemed to come from under the child's bed. Pulling it away carefully he rolled up the rug and found a hatch, within it was an ancient scroll written by the original Aurorian Knight and founder of the now ruined kingdom.Abilities- Knight's Protection: There were many secrets hidden within the scroll that Elias found After several months of proverbially banging his head against a wall, it seemed that whatever gods were watching over him decided to give him a break. Snow floated in through the open window on a knight where the aurora could still be clearly seen. It was then the truth was revealed, he was shown how to summon legendary Aurorian Knights of the past. It is because of this Elias gains five additional spells that are completely independent of his main magic. This one spell per rank capping at S rank and follow the magic rules. These spells must be summoning spells and are classed as solitary.
- Strength in Numbers: As he continued to read he found the secrets on how the knights could gain additional strength if they trained in certain unusual ways. Elias himself went through this training regime to see if it would work and, to his surprise, it did. Thanks to the months of continuous training Elias gains two additional signature spells for one magic which rank up with him that cap at S rank. He also gains two additional advance spells, one capping at S+ and the other at H+ for one magic. The additional spells must be graded like any other spell.
- Throes of Battle: Knights are known for their might both in striking and defending, Aurorian Knight's were known especially for these traits however it meant that if they were hurt they found it harder to heal themselves. Knights summoned by this lineage have significantly stronger physical and melee attacks, but they cannot be healed.
- Confident: Knights are known to have at least one confidant whom they can entrust everything to, the one they can trust their back to in every battle be it in war, a court room or a royal court; due to this Elias can have an additional companion. This companion gains one additional offensive ability which caps out at S-rank. It also has a stronger than average melee and spell damage.
