Masteries

These are rare, high level abilities that characters obtain by influencing the world and the people within it in a way that justifies a power boost. This is not intermediate magic (poison, bone, magma, sand, etc), which can be taught in-game or learned with consistent play. This tier of power has higher quality expectations and is seen as a reward for exceptional actions. This might mean a well written in-game journal, or an approved application in the ability section of the forums.

Characters with a hidden spell are less likely to progress beyond that point unless they show exceptional proactive storytelling.

Intermediate

Wild Boar Style - Armed

A berserker-like style.

Patient Blade - Armed

The Patient Blade style is said to channel the flow of time through the user's weapon.

Gentle Blade - Armed

The Gentle Blade technique was designed to blunt the weapon and prevent blows that might have otherwise been fatal, by warding the metal in a controlled measure of holy magic. Also known as the Burning Edge and the Sword of Light. There are two known users, the Radiant Exarch Soleis, and his student, Sophie Duran.

Inferno Style - Unarmed

By generating heat beneath the opponent's skin on contact, the Inferno Style generates fire magic with each crack of the knuckles, bubbling and boiling their target's internals.

Assassin Fist - Unarmed

The Assassin Fist is focused around the illusionary arts and deadly blows that target the opponent's vital areas.

Spiral Bomb - Energy

Rather than release energy projectiles like the magic is known for, the Spiral Bomb focuses the mana at a single point and keeps it connected during to the palm, continuing to control and empower the sphere until they release it in a close-ranged strike.

Withcraft - Occult

An eternal contract with the netherworld. An ancient pact with demons.

Druid - Nature

A druid can be noted as a person with fae-like features, often having pointed ears and soft traits. It is a metamorphis of sorts as the nature mage 'becomes one' with the woodlands themselves. They're said to be long-lived.

Master

Primordial Flame - Fire

The very essence of fire, pure and unrefined. (Aura)
