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.

Blood is by far the most personal, magically dense substance a person has on hand, and that's why it is a common choice; it also shows that the druid is willing to sacrifice in return for the act.

An augmented art derived from the cosmos above, Celestial Ascension calls the user to channel their connection with their star in a strong, yet dangerous way. The caster would overcharge their mana circuits to the point of overflowing it with cosmic power, causing the excess to protrude behind the user, creating two glittering wings.
