Description:
Gardens of Eden, a magical world outside of Earthland that was created in the early age of magic. It is a realm of nature, filled with rich fauna and flora, a beauty which cannot ever be forgotten once witnessed. All life present is overflowing with ether, the elementary component of magic, giving all that comes from the Gardens a unique look. Even all of the creatures within this world are heavily imbued with magic from the moment they are born. Because of this, humans have sought to harness the power of this place several times throughout history. However, no one has ever managed to fully control the power the Gardens provide, and those who have grasped at least that small bit have corrupted the fragile purity of the magical otherworld. Such is the result of humanity touching the gardens with a hand of greed.
Only those born in the Gardens are capable of wielding their powers without giving a gnawing corruption in return. The primary aspect of such magic is near-absolute control over nature. In all manner of manifestations, Flora is how this aspect exists - utilizing vines, roots, and trees as the core of most spells. Of course, this is a fraction of the seemingly limitless power such a mysterious place offers, especially once one enlists the aid of the other curious spirits that inhabit the Gardens.
Unique Abilities
Child of Magic:
That which was born in the Gardens is always intrinsically linked to it. A world overflowing with the purest form of magic, a convergence point of leylines - it naturally brings an abundance of energy to those with such a strong bond. The invisible tether secures a steady stream of mana at all times, and the Gardens prove a secondary container from which to draw all this power.
• Gives the user 5% MP recovery per post
• Increases the user’s total MP storage by 60%
Celestial Origin:
Magic that allows the user to summon celestial spirits is quite special, even among other summoning-type magics. These spirits can be a powerful aid in battle and a nice company when one feels lonely. However, it might not always be appropriate to call forth these creatures. For this reason, mages created an alternative that is often called ‘Star Dress’. Celestial Origin is Leila’s version of this ability.
• Allows the user to obtain the spirits’ abilities and gain their HP as a shield and melee damage as a boost to their own damage by sacrificing their physical form when activating the summoning spell
• Leila does not need to use Celestial keys to summon her spirits (flavor)
Eroding Might:
Parts of Leila's body are covered in rough gray skin that is not unlike the surface of a tree in texture. A reflection of the partial corruption inflicted upon the Gardens by individuals who had tried to forcefully take the realm's power in the past, poisoning it in the process. Thankfully, Leila had learned how to effectively counter the negative aspects of this and even figured out how to make this affliction work in her favor - by intentionally feeding these spots magical energy, she can extend them to any part of her body and increase her constitution and physical prowess as a result.
• Health Points are increased by 60%
• Strength is increased by 60%

D-rank Spells
Name: One with Nature
Category: Passive
Type: Passive
Range | Speed: N/a | N/a
Duration: Passive
Cost: N/a
Effect: The direct connection to the Gardens of Eden that Leila possesses connects her to the fauna and flora of other worlds as well. This allows her to communicate with animals in a small range around her as if they spoke human language. Similarly, she can commute with flowers to extract limited information from them, such as whether another individual made direct physical contact with them or not.
Name: Wings
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Burst
Range | Speed: Self | N/a
Duration: 3 posts
Cost: 20 MP
Effect: Nature is not bound to the earth we walk on, and neither is Leila. With the use of this spell, she can sprout wings from her back, made entirely out of branches and leaves. Despite this seemingly fragile and impractical structure, they allow for unrestricted flight.
C-rank Spells
Name: Fruit Bomb
Category: Offensive
Type: AoE ; DoT
Range | Speed: 60m | 30m/s
Duration: 5 posts
Cost: 30 MP
Damage: 15 * 5
Effect: Summons a small plant that bears a round fruit, shining with brilliant blue light. Once grown, anyone can take the fruit and throw it. The fruit will explode on impact, dealing small initial damage to anyone who was caught in the blast and then dealing that damage again per post until the spell’s duration expires. Those affected will also be covered in a blue slime from the fruit, limiting their range of motion and thus decreasing their strength by 50%.
Name: Crawling Vines
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst
Range | Speed: 30m | 60m/s
Duration: 5 posts
Cost: 30 MP
Damage: 60
Effect: Mobility is warrior's greatest weapon in many cases. This is why this spell seeks to remove it by creating numerous small vines on the ground all around Leila, which will move as if they were living creatures, attempting to coil around the legs of those who move on top of them, slowing them down by 50% while also damaging them.
B-rank Spells
Name: Ferality
Category: Passive
Type: Passive
Range | Speed: Self | N/a
Duration: Passive
Cost: N/a
Effect: One can exhibit the ferocity of a feral predator even while keeping the visage of a civilized individual. In Leila's case, the feral aspect is quite literally imprinted onto her body via magic, increasing her speed by 50%
Name: Brutality
Category: Passive
Type: Passive
Range | Speed: Self | N/a
Duration: Passive
Cost: N/a
Effect: It would be foolish to underestimate the force of a forest. With the help of magic, trees can coil around one's body like a serpent, ready to constrict and crush, leaving behind nothing but a mangled mess. Gardens of Eden especially can give the woods the power to rival things normally considered far superior. Leila's spell damage is increased by 50%
Name: Spread
Category: Passive
Type: Passive
Range | Speed: Self | N/a
Duration: Passive
Cost: N/a
Effect: Nature is far-reaching and everpresent. One would struggle to find a place where none can be found, even in the most inhospitable places Earthland can offer. Leila's magic, similarly, extends the range of all of its spells by 50%
Name: Overgrowth
Category: Passive
Type: Passive
Range | Speed: Self | N/a
Duration: Passive
Cost: N/a
Effect: Unseen, the roots of trees move just beneath the surface. Plants will grow before you can even notice. Feeding on magic and circulating it with great efficiency, the Gardens have achieved this with ease, extending the speed at which Leila's spells travel by 50%
A-rank Spells
Name: Impaling root
Category: Offensive
Type: Single-target
Range | Speed: 300m | 300m/s
Duration: 1 posts
Cost: 50 MP
Damage: 100 | 50
Effect: A rather simplistic, yet very effective spell. When activated, it will grow several smaller roots beneath the ground that quickly travel to the target location and, once there, shoot up while coiling around one another to create a giant stake of sorts. With its sheer force, the spell will boost its own damage by 65%. If the enemy has any active barriers, the spell will also pierce, though the base damage of the spell will be reduced by 50%.
Name: Eden’s Dominion
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst
Range | Speed: 75m | 150m/s
Duration: 7 posts
Cost: 50 MP
Damage: 100
Effect: A power to turn one’s environment itself into a weapon. At any moment, Leila can send out a wave of energy into the area around her and infuse all non-magical objects with her magic, bending it to her will. Like this, she can do anything from creating weapons out of mud to forming golems of stone. All creations of this kind will be able to deal spell damage per recast, but otherwise deal Leila’s basic melee damage and cannot move further away from the girl than the spell range.
S-rank Spells
Name: Sea of Stars
Category: Auxiliary
Type: AoE
Range | Speed: 200m | 100m/s
Duration: 10 posts
Cost: 60 MP
Effect: The sea of stars is a strange body of water within the Gardens of Eden and a place of the Goddess’ rebirth. Calling the sea forth into the real world will partially bend the space around the user, transforming the spell’s range into a completely flat plane with the sea's surface to walk on. All spirits that make contact with the sea’s surface will have their HP increased by 70% and gain the ability to cast the spells of their summoner, though the appropriate MP still has to be consumed. In the same way, spells of the spirits can originate from the summoner, but this cannot be used to duplicate the spirit’s abilities by casting them twice in one post.
Name: Tree of Life
Category: Supportive
Type: Burst
Range | Speed: 100m | 100m/s
Duration: 10 posts
Cost: 60 MP
Healing: 120
Effect: Growing an enormous tree in an instant, Leila can call down the power of life itself that resides within the Gardens. The moment this tree is grown, it pulses out a visible wave of pollen-like substance that heals all allies within the spell range and gives them a boon that will make all other healing spells on them 70% stronger. Furthermore, if any ally affected by the healing is under an immobilizing effect, that effect will be cleansed. The tree fades away after the duration expires.
Name: Radiant Dawn
Category: Defensive
Type: Active ; Burst
Range | Speed: 100m | 100m/s
Duration: 10 posts
Cost: 60 MP
Durability: 240
Effect: Stars are a source of radiance, and with this spell, Leila can acquire such brilliance as well. Upon activation, she will become surrounded by the golden aura of a star to shield her. During this time, all defensive spells within range will have their durability increased by 70% as well.

Description
Easily the single most important spirit in the Gardens of Eden after Aurora and Leila themselves. Yuki belongs not only to the first generation of Eden spirits, but she is also, in fact, the very first and thus oldest among the Gardens residents. Despite that, she had retained a child-like appearance due to the restrictions on her power. However, her personality is far from one of an actual child.
As the first spirit, Yuki is considered the strongest spirit in Eden, right after Aurora and Leila. However, some of her power remains sealed away, forcing on the child-like body and placing her in the same ranks as the rest of Eden's elite spirits. As one could guess from her title and name, her powers revolve around the manipulation of ice and frost. She is mostly a mobile, close-range fighter who delivers powerful blows faster than the enemy can defend and heal.
Not using any weapons, she uses her own limbs as deadly weapons. Her outfit does not provide much in the way of protection either but allows for great flexibility. Usually dressed in nothing more than a white-colored short yukata and black thigh-highs, she does not even ever wear any footwear or hand protection. Though with her powers, she never feels cold anyway.
Her personality is yet another thing that greatly clashes with the girl's looks, as she wears a completely expressionless poker face almost all the time, never allowing anyone to guess what she might be thinking accurately. Her comments can be very sharp and harsh to anyone who is not from the Gardens of Eden, and it is extremely difficult to get on her good side, even with the help of Leila herself. But she is loyal beyond belief and will never abandon her master's side.

Description
Anna is a bit of a strange spirit, as she does not possess any abilities that could be naturally used for combat. Instead, she is a split image of Aurora and her childish side. This can be observed in many aspects of Anna, a girl who always carries a small doll with her wherever she goes. Above all, she calls herself Eden’s princess, as she is the leader of an entire kingdom of pumpkins.
As far as her appearance goes, she appears as a very young girl with blonde hair, deep green eyes, and fair skin. She always wears dresses that are almost always in a color scheme that uses red and pink. Even when summoned to the battlefield, she refuses to wear anything else and insists that royalty has to be visually above the rest of society. That said, she is not exactly a combat-oriented spirit in the first place. A fact that is somewhat unusual for one of the very first spirits. Even after the ascension of the Gardens, Anna’s power has not increased in any way, shape, or form.
Her bossy nature and self-proclaimed royal title cause other spirits to generally avoid the spoiled little Anna, though there are some capable of tolerating her and existing alongside her when summoned. She does not possess any weapons but always carries with her a stuffed doll that she might use to defend herself with if absolutely necessary. She also has no defined fighting strategy and desperately tries to flee whenever danger draws close. If she is somehow forced to engage an enemy, she will always start flailing madly in hopes of somehow coming out of the struggle alive.

Downside: Can only be used outside of combat and pvp threads
The entire world is Anna’s kingdom! Or at least she wishes it would be, but it really isn’t. Still, she is very much capable of teleporting Leila and her allies to any desired location. However, the process takes a post of preparation and cannot be performed during combat at all. If, somehow, Anna is hurt or otherwise interrupted during the preparation, the spell will also fail.
Pumpkin Surprise

As long as Anna is summoned, random carved pumpkins will spawn within the spell's range. Two pumpkins will be summoned per post and they’re capable of talking in an annoying, high-pitched voice. They’re incapable of attacking anything or anyone, but they can explode at will, leaving a stack of randomly colored smoke that looks very pretty. If they’re attacked, the same will happen automatically. The explosions deal no damage, nor does the smoke really obstruct vision.

Description
One of the first spirits born in the Gardens, Stella is the one Leila has closest to an older sister. Always the one who will care for her summoner's well-being both in and outside of combat, this mysterious beauty is the one who will always be around when the young girl needs a shoulder to lean on. And the fact that she has been around from the very beginning of Leila’s history as a summoner only deepens this bond.
Stella is the only spirit in Eden that has a permanent disability that actually affects her daily life - she is completely blind. Her eyes are dyed in a beautiful sky blue and reflect the life that is within her, but they can no longer tell her what is around her. Despite this disadvantage, the girl had learned how to properly function in her day-to-day life and in combat when she is helping her summoner or the other spirits.
But this disability does play a large part in the girl's behavior. Due to her inability to see anything at all, she constantly feels that she needs to outperform the rest to show that she can take care of herself and others. No matter how kindly one offers their help, she will always try to refuse and do everything by herself, even if it takes more time or consumes more energy. This is often to a fault, and when anyone forces themselves to help her, it will usually result in the girl's mood dropping drastically.
Generally, she has her dirty blond hair loose and adorned with a small blue ribbon. Despite being a spirit that can be summoned for battle, she wears a white and matching blue dress that tightly embraces her slender body. Thankfully, her fighting style usually does not require her to move too nimbly anyway. This is enforced by the fact that her weapon of choice is a magical bow she uses to damage enemies from a distance whenever she can. Despite being blind, she can still locate her targets through her other senses and her ability to sense magic.

Stella’s simple bow is reminiscent of an old treasure from the Gardens. Only Leila herself was ever capable of using the actual Bow of Fated Moon. But its blessing can be bestowed on anyone who roams the Gardens. With a quiet prayer, Stella will raise her weapon to the skies as a faint outline of the moon will appear above her, regardless of the time of day. Its light will bless her weapon and make it glow silver, enhancing its properties. Taking aim, several roots and vines will emerge from whichever platform Stella is standing on, holding her in place for a single moment as she charges up the shot. Several magical circles will appear in front of the arrow before it’s finally fired, speeding it up greatly. Residual energy from this shot is left behind, giving Anna a 100% speed boost for the spell duration.

The blessing of the fated moon is always with Stella. However, she can extend this blessing to those around her as well. When she does so, allies within range will obtain augmentation to their offensive abilities, as all their attacks will also summon vines that will immobilize any target they hit. (Can affect the same enemy only once every other post) Not only that, those affected will also receive a 100% boost to their non-spell attacks.

Description
An unusual form, an evolution of something that is already there. Normally, all spirits from the Gardens of Eden have a set role that they happily fulfill; their beings are almost designed for it. In the same vein of existence, these spirits do not age and are already born looking like adults, never truly changing their physical appearance in the slightest unless it is the will of the one who rules the Paradise-like realm.
This is why Yuki is truly a special case. Already important in her own right as the first spirit, she is also the only one capable of changing her form, effectively moving her own clock forward and backward as needed. This does not only affect her actual physical appearance, but even her abilities themselves grow stronger, the girl’s arsenal expanding ever so slightly.
Upon being summoned in her Empress form, Yuki will appear as if she had aged quite a bit, no longer having the form of a little child but a young adult instead. The blue horns atop her hair will be a bit longer but still not exceeding the length of the animal ears which are right behind the horns. Other than these, all notable features are still mostly identical to their younger version.
That said, as one could expect, the girl’s physique is quite different. No longer stuck in the body of a young girl, Yuki is now considerably taller at roughly Leila’s height. Naturally, she will also have a new attire that consists of a dark leotard on top of a skin-tight and semi-transparent suit mostly visible on her legs. Over this simple and non-restrictive gear is also a pure black coat and a pair of equally black boots.
As far as her personality goes, it remains pretty much completely unchanged. After all, the dragon is not actually growing up and merely lifting the seal keeping her powers in check. Though she will have much bolder tendencies due to her increased power and matured body. Unfortunately, she will still wear her usual unamused poker face wherever she goes.

With enhanced power, Yuki can incorporate the powers of Ice molding into her move set much more effectively. Unleashing an aura of frost, the spirit will greatly enhance her non-spell attacks by increasing their damage by 65%. Enemies who take direct damage from Yuki via her normal attacks or other spells will become immobilized for 1 post - this can be triggered on any one opponent once every other post and only if they take direct damage from the spirit. Finally, those within the spell's range will have their life and energy sapped by the unrelenting frost, draining 5% of HP and MP if the spell's range and speed catches them.

Releasing a wave of cold energy like an explosion, Yuki will damage enemies around her and cover everything in range in biting frost.

Additionally their spell damage will also be reduced by 25%.
