Primary Magic: Crimson Thorns
Secondary Magic: None yet
Caster or Holder:Caster/Holder
Description:
Strengths: Flexible magic which can be used to slow enemies and sometimes heal oneself or allies. Particularly effective in close combat, but also useful in range battles. On higher levels defensive potentials are maximized and offensive capabilities also increases.
Weaknesses: Weak against fire based magic and some ice based magic with frost effect. Some spells have requirements that must be met and some spells only work only outdoors. Some spells also require blood so the user is weakened for a brief period and needs to stay put, needless to say an easy target for powerful range attacks. Not very good in battles that lasts long, as spells uses casters endurance.
Abilities/Powers:

Description:
It was once said that a master of Crimson thorns magic can summon hordes of plant like apparitions at his disposal, that it can decimate armies in days, and that it sometimes can heal the dying back to life...Of course those were just myths since it is a magic lost in time, until now.
The tales aren't far from the truth, but it is a bit exaggerated.Crimson Thorns is a lost nature magic that controls fauna and turns it into weapon or defensive shield according to the users wish. And like all Lost magic it is like a double-edged sword. The reason why practitioners of magic shunned it was because most spells caused pain to the caster when cast.There are also prerequisites to be met to be able to cast some spells, like presence or raw earth or dirt, natural terrain, or the part that most fear, the drawing of blood.
If mastered, pain wouldn't bother the caster much, and its an extremely powerful defensive and offensive magic.Also, its less painful spells are favored once by hunters and thieves for its effectiveness in weakening and capturing target, or its ability to hinder or make one's tracks disappear, which is crucial in making an escape. The summoned vines are also laced with toxins that the caster is immune too, and even poison, that causes a variety of effects on enemies. Effects can vary, depending on the casters level, effects also vary when used on the user or his allies. Although, some spells tend to back fire, specially on the casters allies.
