"So, what spells does Her Highness know best?"
"Let's see.... Judging from this yearly grade report...."
InitiateThe Initiate has begun their venture into the dark secrets of Demise, and has gained a minor resistance to Hylia magic.
Light Snuff
Causes the shadows to reach out and extinguish a small natural light source. Must be strengthened in order to snuff out stronger light sources. Does not affect Hylia light sources.
Shadow Grab
Cause a part of your shadow to independently move and manipulate small items within reach.
Unnerving Pull
At the behest of the caster, pulls a small object from a distance of ten feet.
Novice
The Novice is “blessed” by their patron, granting them a cat-like sight in the darkness. While not as clear as Shadow Eyes, this effect happens naturally without expending energy.
Dark Orb
The caster is able to summon orbs imbued with darkness, and fire them at their opposition. Can be charged for more power.
Impish Trickery
This spell will allow the caster to turn a single, inanimate object invisible to all but the user. This effect is indefinite but will feed on the user's energy until it is cancelled. A neat party trick, or a way to hide something from inquiring minds.
Leech Energy
The user pulls vitality or energy out of living creatures on a small scale to replenish themselves.
Apprentice
The Apprentice begins to harbor a shadow to their expression as a consequence of their study. They project an unsettling aura to those around them.
Dark Blast
A launched Dark Orb explodes to create a series of smaller dark orbs to launch within a short range. The trajectory and method is up to the user. May be charged for more power, but doing so will increase the speed at which the orbs travel. Requires Dark Orb.
Dark Lance
The caster manifests dark energy into a singular point in the palm, compressing it to create a lance composed of physical darkness, which can be hurled or used to parry.
Devilish Trickery
Allows the caster to harness illusions, causing an opponent to hallucinate. While this can be held indefinitely, it will drain the user’s energy pool. Once it has been used and stopped, it cannot be used again without rest.
Adept
This passive ability allows the user to see further in the dark and becomes more sensitive to the light of Hylia users. Their strength is increased significantly, and the darkness that resides in them becomes stronger.
Reach of the Wallmaster
The caster summons a shadowy, disembodied hand the size of their own hand to perform one action. May be used to pull objects closer for use, strike, or choke something, to name a few ideas. If the user is strong enough, they may pull a human-sized target towards themselves.
Blade of Evil’s Boon
The user summons a physical weapon made of pure malice in any shape desired by its caster. The weapon’s weight is based on its size and density.
Veil of Shadows
The user afflicts blindness to a target by veiling their vision in shadow. Subject to a five turn cooldown. Has no effect on something already blinded.
Expert
The Expert has gained the trust of the shadows, allowing them to speak and communicate with the darkness and hear their whispers. Powerful monsters carry reverence for your power before they face you in desperate combat.
Shadow Veil
The user blends into the shadows making stealth much easier. Lasts for three rounds, and needs another three rounds of cooldown once it expires. Spell is cancelled if the user takes damage. Requires Impish Trickery.
Fist of the Wallmaster
The user conjures a larger shadowy disembodied hand to attack their target for a turn. May be used to pull larger objects closer for use, strike, or crush something, to name a few ideas. The Wallmaster can drag around weightier objects or individuals that are three times the user’s own weight. Requires Reach of the Wallmaster.
Shroud of Shadows
The user emits a shroud of shadow that blankets a field of battle in darkness for about 30 ft. Those who have sight in darkness can still see others trapped within. The shroud lasts five turns before dissipating. Requires Veil of Shadows.
"Hoh. Pretty neat spells."
