『Optimistic Pragmatist』

Oly moly. I finally dipped back into this lovely corner. Survived pandemic and all. Also, I wish I can convert my $21,969 from the forum. May 5, 2023

        true. I drop all the time, and I pick up again most likely later. Although given the current trend of things, I may have to drop a lot of things forever lol

        I live near the Alabang area. The quake here wasn't that strong but it's a bit worrisome that it even reached here in the first place. I heard it reached Makati. Shucks, medyo nakaka kaba.

    Rend: Melee attack. Using naturally occurring ignis to make a strong, heavy strike against the enemy. Adds additional Bleed damage.
    Ankle Biter: Area of effect. For 9 seconds, within a circumference of 8 yards from the caster, ignis is used to slow down enemies. Witnessing this attack can sometimes cause panic due to the fact that the ignis clinging to the ground tend to look like grotesque children biting at the feet of its targets.
    Ignis Volley: Range attack. Manipulating naturally occurring ignis to form into arrowheads that can be shot into a deluge of attacks. An instant cast allows for three arrowheads. If given more time, more can be formed. Can be used in tandem with Imbue Weapon.

    Plague Bringer: Uses souls to spread a plague among the living. It can range from a single person to a whole village. Also, effects may vary from treatable to fatal. This skill is highly dependant on how much influence the fae heritage takes root. [Ignis cost: N/A]
    Imbue Weapon: Unlearned skill. [Ignis cost:--]
    Esurient Soul: When an enemy dies within 20 yards, the active skill, Hungry Spirit, doubles in effect
    Illusionist: When you take more than 15% of your maximum Life in damage within 1 second, the cooldowns on active skill sets are reset.
    Birthright: When in the presence of a burial ground, all active skill effects double and you regenerate 1% of your maximum Life per second
    Jurōjin's(寿老人) Blessing: Gain 3.0% Life tokens per second while stationary, stacking up to 3 times. Reset 5 seconds after movement.
    Touch of Empathy: By being highly sensitive to mana and ignis, one has gained the ability to gauge a person's emotional stability.
    Lay of the Land: Due to high sensitivity to ignis, it is highly unlikely for one to get lost. Finding items may also be an easier task. Conditions apply.
    Mana's Boon: Due to high sensitivity to mana, it is easier to 'read' a spell being cast before casting time is finished. Finding items, persons, or places that are heavily reliant on elemental assistance may also be an easier task. Conditions apply.
    Harmonic Resonance: Mana+ignis amplification effect. Allows for a seamless and smooth interaction between the two types of energy.
    • Mirrored Presence Skill: Allows you to make your presence seem just like its near a place, while hiding your true location.
    • Sundering Strength (passive?): A refinement technique which makes the user's muscles and posture reach a superior level of compatibility with a weapon, allowing him/her to wield a heavier and stronger form of that weapon, expanding its reach and power. (Player may choose between Bow or one Throwing weapon)
    • Powersurge: Stores up the body's energy, then releasing it in a burst, Greatly strengthening the targeted parts of the user's for a short moment in all aspects. However, it leaves most users open for a brief moment as a short rest is needed to recover from the expenditure of energy.
    • Mercenary God's Teachings (passive?): The Mercenary God Teaches his followers how to survive on the battlefield and how to strengthen yourself - Teaching #3: Never stay on inns, cause inns cost money while the forest is free {(Big) Stamina up.}
    • Toad Leap: Assume the stance of a toad, to gather energy into the body's core, before releasing it. Allow the user to maneuver, whether run or jump great distances, and the user can use his energy to create more devasting attacks. However, after it is used it leaves the user open for a brief moment as it can be rather draining to the user.
    • Summon Nature Protector Spell: Summons a random nature creature to protect you, anything from a cute flower to a spriggan! It consumes Energy for as long as it's summoned.
    • One with the Earth Skill: Absolute defense for a short duration. When used, one cannot move from their position.
    • Fallen Blossoms Magic: Makes Cherry Petals fall from the air, creating a magical field that disrupts outerplanar beings. It also strengthens nearby undeads for unknown reasons.
    • Cold Spirit: Using the power of your soul you can generate a cold spiritual aura which will affect those around you. The spiritual coldness will hinder other beings movements and make their magic slower.

    Unknown. The only pertinent details Levana knew about these daggers was that it was given to her by her father and that he had mentioned that she was still too weak to properly use it. In fact, she seemed to recall that, instead of daggers, Fangs of Surma was actually twin, bone-white swords. The memory was shady and felt like a dream. So much so that Levana was doubting her memories. In the end, her father handed them to her and explained that he had sealed it temporarily. The more she grew stronger and the more ignis she can master, then Fangs of Surma will then show it's true power.

    Until then, all was just speculation. Especially in regards to its true appearance.
    Elven Throwing Knives (consumable x225)
    Incredible good throwing knives, maybe because of an enchantment or the material used, but they are really difficult to notice even after being thrown
    Shakujou
    [​IMG]
    A customized weapon that greatly minimizes casting time. In the owner's hands, it is a strong and powerful tool but on others, a useless trinket.
    Flint of Oya: Fire element; when installed into right Fang of Surma, Burn effect takes place.
    Xolotl's Bark: Lightning element; when installed into right Fang of Surma, Paralysis effect takes place.
    Futen no Shōkan: Wind element; when installed into right Fang of Surma, Slow effect takes place.
    Consists of breastplate, arm guards, thigh and knee protectors, shin guards, and boots. A set given to her by her father. As yet, Levana has no inkling if it has any special properties. Since it was from her father, however, it is more than likely that it has something she has yet to discover.
    • Kumihimo Charm - Given by an Adventurer as thanks for saving his party's life, this kumihimo charm helps with restoring one's energy. To be precise, it's a mana channeller. It converts mana into stamina so you don't get tired easily.
    • Ronin Kimono - Made from silk strong enough to weather the elements and prevent basic wear and tear, and can even reduce the damage of attacks towards it by a good amount.
