Description:
It is said that magic is the extension of one's will, the physical manifestation of the power of one's soul, though, in the end, no more than a tool created to achieve one's own goal, designed to overpower the will of others, carrying with it inherent selfishness. Still, magic is not a fundamental law of nature, but yet another weapon of war, another device created. The author of this lineage scroll, however, claims that magic is not the pinnacle of power, but quite the opposite. It is written that there are things that easily surpass the limitations set by magical abilities. Magic, like many things among men, is but an artificial concept, and, as the author of this strange, almost cryptic lineage scroll claims, something objectively inferior to the abilities granted by the depths of the cosmos... and what eldritch horrors reside within those depths, of course.
Abilities:
Sovereign of Nothingness:
The user of this lineage is granted insight into the inner workings of the cosmos, the very fundament of reality itself, by trading something of their being to higher powers in one way or another, in exchange for power that is unreachable for those relying on magic to reach their goals, though this may come at a price. The user gains access to a new magic type called "Cosmic" and is able to use this magic type to create magics. Cosmic Magic in itself is strange magic, relying on the manipulation of cosmic energies by the user, similar in effect to "Caster" type spells. The user can also freely designate all spells in magics utilizing the "Cosmic" magic benefit as Blood Spells at their own desire. The benefit levels for Cosmic Magic are specified below (These benefits apply only to the "Cosmic" type magic in question, not the character itself, excluding the MP increase):
- Solitary: +3 posts to max spell durations, +25% Spell Cost Reduction, +75% to MP
- Primary: +2 posts to max spell durations, +25% Spell Cost Reduction, +50% to MP
- Auxiliary: +1 posts to max spell durations, +25% Spell Cost Reduction, +25% to MP
Imperator of Dust:
The user of this lineage, while granted the knowledge to manipulate and utilize cosmic energies, is also indirectly granted superior knowledge over the nature and flow of Magic and Ethernano. The wielder can apply this knowledge to directly influence the powers of another, though it is not unlimited. This allows the user to, once per thread, negate a spell, technique, or ability within their user-rank burst range (Up to H) for free. The user is not limited in the rank of spell, technique, or ability that can be negated via this ability. All other rules regarding negatin effects apply. The spell being negated seems to lose color, turning grey before fading away into dust, scattering into nothing. After the spell is negated, the user absorbs its magical power for their own use, immediately regaining MP equal to the original MP/SP/HP cost of the spell or ability being negated through this lineage effect.
Regent of the Void:
The user of this lineage, after studying the scroll containing details of the horrors from beyond, has gained an innate understanding of the fabric that makes up reality itself, and, in a small way, is granted the ability to manipulate this very fabric, altering the manifestation of their will to give them an advantage. The user gains a 100% base increase to their MP as well as a 50% base increase to their Spell Damage, Spell Range, and Spell Speed. Further, the user also gains access to a 5% MP regen per post which is independent from their regular MP regeneration maximum.
Monarch of Emptiness:
Cosmic energy, in effect, interacts with its environment similarly to magic, though is, at its core, vastly more powerful, flexible, and possesses a higher potential for manipulation than magic itself. Still, Cosmic Magic requires great intellect, intuition, and skill to wield effectively, though, through the insight granted by this scroll, that shouldn't be a problem for the user. The user, as a consequence, gains 2 additional Signature Spells in all of their magics including the "Cosmic" magic type, as well as 2 additional Advanced Spells for every magic including the "Cosmic" magic type, one of them ranking up with the user to S+ rank and one of them up to H+ rank. Further, the user has the option to give up their H rank spell slot within a single one of their "Cosmic" magics to gain an additional H+ rank Advanced Spell slot (Unlocked at H rank) within the same magic.
Ruler of All:
While the user's understanding of reality extends to the control of magic and magical power, it is not exclusively limited to it. The user, through the secrets revealed to them by this scroll, has obtained the ability to shape reality itself. This grants them a 200% buff to Spell Damage while also granting the following effect: Within their user-rank advanced Multi Target range (Up to H+), the user can freely shape the world around themselves according to their liking. This includes changing the physical state of materials, their shape, density, temperature, and all other attributes they possess. This further enables the user to manipulate all aspects of their selves, including voice, appearance, blood type et cetera. If players, player-owned NPCs, Event NPCs or player-owned equipment are manipulated in any way using this ability the user must seek OOC permission before. Attacks with a manipulated element always possess user-rank advanced Multi Target range (Up to H+) and move at user-rank advanced Multi Target speed (Up to H+), dealing user-rank advanced Multi Target damage multiplied by 2x (up to H+). The user is not limited in the number of strikes that can be peformed with this ability in any given post, but can only attack a target with a single instance of this attack at a given time. This ability can also be used to generate a single shield per post, which is always set at 2x user rank advanced durability (Up to H+) and possesses an anti-piercing effect.
