Description:
Spectral Vampire is the collective name given to all of Raziel's non-physical capabilities attained through his second rebirth, as well as all the vampiric abilities he attained before it. Spectral Vampire is also the title he himself carries, as it is the only thing left of him, what he is. This is the secret to his immortality and the curse he placed upon himself. Once a human condemned to a life of vampirism, as he lied on his death bed Raziel used the knowledge he had attained of divinity and eternity to craft a magical miracle that defies the cycle of death and rebirth by anchoring his "essece" or "soul" to the material realm. He extracted it from himself and channelled it into a magical system which filters the vampiric life force and vitality and cycles it through a conceptual 'law' which does not allow the soul to move on and return to the nothingness it once came from. The thing about vampire longevity is that unlike humans, their body and soul are perfectly harmonised to a point where they are almost one and the same, so by binding his soul to the world of the living, he bound his mind and will to it as well. While his body did perish and fade, the fact that his soul was forced to dwell amongst the living bound it by the same rules as them, meaning that if it is to interact with that world, it has to have a material form. Raziel knew that when he created the phenomenon, even more so he relied on that, for he knew that if the world demands a physical form from something which lives in it, it would provide one for the creature in the sense that it would assist it in forming one for itself. That is how birth works, a soul is sent to the material realm and forced to take on a self-made body, which it forms according to the traits and parameters it carries within itself. In that sense, Raziel's curse isn't so much as "immortality" as it is a false cycle of death and rebirth. He is by definition dead and non-existent, but he can will himself into life because what he truly is, in his current true form, is a simple soul which is formed out of unchannelled life force. Thus he is considered a self-created magical phenomenon which exists on both a spectral and material plane at once, capable of interaction with either one at will, but not with both at the same time and he has to exist in one or the other at any given time if he is to keep his soul anchored to his magical system.
Strengths:
- Great proficiency with melee combat, as he is a creature whose existence not only relies on such prowess, but also one who lived long enough to train such skills to perfection.
- Capable of manipulating spectral and spiritual energies.
- Capable of partially shifting into the spectral realm at any given time, thus making it incredibly difficult to detect him.
- Capable of completely leaving the material realm and going into the spectral one during specific circumstances. (explained below)
- Due to being a vampire, Raziel has greatly increased physical capabilities, meaning that his speed and strength are around three times as great as those of a human of his rank and potential. He is also very agile as a result.
- Due to the features of his body (claws, physical abilities) Raziel is capable of scaling terrain with amazing efficiency to a point where he surpasses the abilities of a normal human being by a lot, even if it is a trained one.
- He is capable of using other being's blood or spiritual energy as sustenance, restoring himself upon consumption of such substances.
Weaknesses: (What are the weaknesses of it)
- Raziel is limited to magical powers of Spiritual and Spectral nature only, as well as vampiric capabilities. He can not use magic of other elements.
- Magic that works on the principle of exorcism or by desecrating souls would be highly effective against him, as he is a special kind of specter himself.
- Water magic is 50% more effective against him, due to his original vampiric weakness being not sunlight, but water.
- Magical energy-stealing would be quite effective against him, as his magical power is, to a large extent, his life force as well, considering he sustains his physical body with it.
- His vampiric abilities do not hold magical elemental affinities, thus they do not benefit from their strengths.
- His Health is reduced by 40%
- If Raziel has not fed for 20 posts or more in a single thread, he gains the Corrosive Hunger debuff, increasing all spell cool-downs by 1 post.

- If Raziel has not fed for 20 posts or more in a single thread, he gains the Corrosive Hunger debuff, increasing all spell cool-downs by 1 post.
Abilities/Powers:
- Spectral Presence:
- If he so desires, Raziel can conceal his presence by fading his body and dissolving it into a very thing mist, practically making him almost completely invisible, but making him incapable of physical interaction of any form, though he can still be hit with spells. He, in this form, can not use spells himself and can not concentrate sufficiently to invoke Spectral Presence while he is in combat, limiting this highly efficient stealthening ability to non-combat scenarios only. (Note that he is so hard to detect that you'd need VERY keen magical senses and you must actually be looking for him in order to detect his presence. Mages of equal rank must be hella lucky and looking for him in order to spot him, mages of one rank above might be able to sense his presence should they be close enough to him and mages of two or more ranks above him -will- sense him if he enters their magical senses' range. Mages of lower rank than Raziel can not detect him without the use of strong detection magecraft. Magically augmented eyes may be able to spot his almost completely transparent body if they are close enough. This ability can be accessed in both Vampiric and Spectral form.)
- Wayward Soul:
- Raziel has two forms he could inhabit, his Vampiric and his Spectral one. He can switch between the two at will, needing only a moment to invoke the change. This only changes his visual appearance. (Check Character app for more information)
- Dark Flight:
- Due to the fact that Raziel's entire existence is simply magic concentrated through his willpower to form his own body, he is capable of also forming his wings as he already had them before becoming what he is, meaning that they are a genuine part of him and thus can also be formed in the manner he forms his body. Maximal flight speed is 50 kmph.
- Devour Life:
- Due to Raziel's nature of being a vampire both physically and spiritually, he is capable of consuming blood or souls/spectral/spiritual energy to restore his own vitality. He can only consume on or the other and that depends on which form he is in, but regardless of what he is devouring, the effect is the same. The amount of health he restores from this depends on time spent consuming (12% per post) whereas the amount of magical energy regained depends on the amount. (Check the magic power rules' slayer magic power recovery chart for more information)
If Raziel is to suffer any impact during consumption of blood/souls/energy, the process is interrupted. Also note that the target who is being drained suffers heavy and instant fatigue while being drained and can only break free if they roll two attack dice and both show a "Hit". If only one shows a hit, the target's struggle is futile for that post. The one being drained loses the same amount Raziel regains, but the HP they lose is halved, so while Raziel gains 12% HP per post, the target only loses 6%. If the target loses 30% or more HP from a single drain, they can lie completely powerless for the first 2 posts after being released from the drain. Lastly, once he stops or gets interrupted, Raziel can not attempt to drain the same target again for the next 5 posts. The Vampire needs to be in imminent proximity in order to be able to Devour Life.
- Simple Telekinesis:
- One of Raziel's Dark Gifts is Telekinesis which he can use at will, though not frequently. However, simple and basic Telekinesis such as manipulating objects without physically touching them is something he is capable of doing freely without limitation, though lifting anything heavier than 25 kilograms requires the use of a hand and anything above 70kg - the use of both hands and a great deal of concentration. The heavier it is, the more straining manipulating that object would prove.
Spells:
- Dark Gift - Teleportation:
- Name: Teleportation
Rank: D
Type: Dark Gift
Description: One of the abilities Raziel holds as a Vampire is to power of short to mid distance teleportation as a derivative to his Telekinesis. In order to access this gift, he has to simply close his eyes and focus for a moment. As he does so, the vampire will fade in a small burst of darkness and he'll appear where he chose his destination to be as he opens his eyes. The entire process takes less than half a second to complete.
Strengths:
- A very quick method of repositioning.
- Can not be intercepted, as he does not travel. He simply appears somewhere he was not.
- It can be used up to two times before going on cool-down.
Weaknesses:
- Has a rather limited range of 17 metres.
- He needs to be able to concentrate in order to Teleport.
Duration: None/Instant.
Cool-down: 2 posts.
- Spectral Power - Phase:
- Name: Phase
Rank: D
Type: Spectral Power
Description: Using his abilities as a Specter, Raziel, shifts to the Spectral Ream, disappearing from the normal world, also known as Material Realm, for a brief time. Once he returns to the Material Realm, Raziel breaks free from any crippling effects that may have been on him.
Strengths:
- Great for evading attacks and repositioning, as he simply stops existing in the normal world.
- Due to the fact that the Spectral Realm is a distorted reflection of the Material one, it is possible to move while within it and thus appear elsewhere when you return to the normal world.
- Can be cast up to two times before going on Cool-Down
Weaknesses:
- Raziel is limited by time, thus he can not remain in the Spectral Realm for more than 3 seconds.
- Due to his time limitation, the distance he can travel within the Spectral world is also limited.
- Because it is a distorted reflection of the normal world, while within it Raziel might find unexpected challenges such as having his way blocked by a tower of stairs, which in the normal world is a simple staircase. Another example is having a door being placed in the roof of a structure within the Spectral Realm, since the walls are distorted and the door's location is altered as a result.
Duration: 3 seconds maximum per cast.
Cool-down: 3 posts.
- Dark Gift of Telekinesis - Push or Pull:
- Name: Telekinesis: Push/Pull
Rank: D
Type: Dark Gift
Description: Raziel can utilize his telekinetic powers to create a powerful shockwave which will either push away or pull in anything that stands in its way. The shockwave deals absolutely no direct damage whatsoever so the only thing that may hurt the ones affected is the impact with a surface of sorts. The shockwave has the shape of either a tube or a cone, depending on how precise Raziel wants to be, and at its maximal width it can affect everything in a 90 degree cone in front of him, though it is rarely used like that, considering how Raziel likes to be more precise.
Strengths:
- Can move objects that weigh up to 150 lb.
- Can be used frequently.
Weaknesses:
- Deals absolutely no direct damage.
- It affects everything in its path, even allies.
- Maximal range of this spell is 10 metres
Duration: None/Instant.
Cool-down: 1 post.
- Dark Gift - Curse of Leaking Blood:
- Name: Curse of Leaking Blood
Rank: D
Type: Dark Gift, Passive
Description: Through malicious intent, Raziel can magically cause every successful physical or magical attack to bleed the enemy, be that internally or externally. The bleeding lasts 2 posts dealing damage equal to a slash from his claws or weapon each post. If the enemy is struck again while bleeding, the duration of the bleed effect is refreshed and upon bleeding for 3 posts or more posts, they start losing a small amount of magical power each post they bleed, the amount equal to that which they'll spend for a single D-ranked spell cast. If the enemy has bled for at least 5 posts already, each subsequent post they spend bleeding heals Raziel for a D-ranked spell's amount.
Strengths:
- An effective Damage over Time ability which is always active, as long as Raziel wants it to be.
- Prolonged bleeding causes additional effects.
Weaknesses:
- If the bleeding is stopped for even a single post, all the effects the bleeding had been causing are lost, meaning they have to be invoked all over again.
- The bleeding has to last for a while for its effects to truly show, otherwise they are too weak to be of significant importance.
Duration: 2 posts for the bleeding.
Cool-down: None/Passive.
