SPELLS KNOWN
Kinetic Transmutation
Frej imbues a target object with mana, then transmutes the mana energy into kinetic energy. He can only transmute his own mana, and contact makes this easier to carry out. This new kinetic energy allows Frej to make objects explode (or implode), or augment his own speed and strength, though the latter taxes him heavily.
Mana Absorption
If in contact with mana, Frej can absorb small amounts at a time. This can be used to replenish his own mana reserve, or to lessen an attack made by pure mana.
Mana Shield
Mana solidifies into a solid state and creates a shield that can block both physical and magical attacks. Frej can expand this shield to cover a large area, or bring it close to his body to form armor.
Mending
By weaving threads of mana through flesh and bone, Frej can sew closed open wounds and rejoin broken bones. This technique exhausts him quickly, as it requires him to constantly "see" beneath skin and often blood with a steady stream of mana.
Biography:
As formidable a mage as he could have become with proper training, Frej von Straußheim, born into the Straußheim bloodline of powerful Alchemy mages, would much rather inanely (according to his parents) chase after a Photography major.
Doted on as the newest prodigy of the clan, Frej grew up sheltered and spending very little time outside the household. As a result of devoting most of his childhood to training in the family's arts, he started school rather late, at the age of eight, and was frequently homeschooled for months at a time. Friends weren't a common occurrence, but they opened up a window into the outside, non-mage world for Frej.
Finishing up the eighth grade at the age of seventeen, Frej had grown utterly tired of the constant coaching, disappearing for hours on end after classes to explore the city either by himself or with a few classmates, causing his mother to worry to no end, and his father to turn his attention to his two younger sisters, Carina and Sigi, who were both also quite adept at Alchemy.
Now in his third year at college and still quite a ways from obtaining a degree of any sort, Frej mostly spends his time distancing himself from his mage heritage and abilities, instead opting to tote around a backpack full of photography equipment and wander through the city taking pictures of whatever catches his attention. He does, however, occasionally attempt to teach himself some healing magic, figuring it to be actually useful compared to what he had learned from his parents. The Straußheim family reluctantly funds his collegiate adventures, in the hopes that he'll eventually graduate (or grow tired of it) and return home to his alchemical studies.
