Well we have 1 to 2 more master slots open still (accounting for 1 from you), I can bring in Murderpriest from the last game if we need another, I'd rather not be controlling 3 masters though if I can help it, so if you're up to taking up the last one or if Dolly can join that would be awesome.

[Gallagher]

suze, dead just agreed to join.

she's probably going to play a master, but is sort of thinking of archer ideas. either way, one less slot.

[Gallagher]

we accidentally came up with a good archer after all, sooo unless someone has an objection, we'll probably move forward with it

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Oh I am so very happy to hear. Can't wait to see who it is.

[Poggio]

Name: Mary Reid

Strength: C (B)
Endurance: B (A)
Agility: C (B)
Mana: C (B)
Magic Resistance: B (A)
Luck: A (EX)

Casual Appearance: (._. I don’t think Mary gets a casual appearance)

If Mary is sane enough to get a casual mode she would dress in black leathers, boots, pants and a mid rise jacket. Her shirt is a simple wife beater and she wears a backwards baseball cap.

Battle Appearance:

Mary stands at 5’7 and has sun burnt mocha colored skin. She usually appears wearing battle worn attire befitting a buccaneer complete with chest bindings to make her appear as though she is a young man. Crowning the top of a head full of black curls, sits a brown leather tri-pointed hat. Hoisted to her waist is a metal flask. Nesting within belted holsters are her weapons, a cutlass and a pistol.

Skill`s:

Collector: B

( according to the wiki)
is the "talent" to collect high quality goods -- a "luck" that draws rare items into the possession of the Servant. However, the Servant's Master derives no benefit from this personal skill.

(According to Suze:
I suppose what it would do at lower levels is basically give your character access to various magical items or weapons that could help in battles and such. The higher the rank, the more she'd have and the stronger they'd likely be. )

Madness Enhancement: B

Swag: B

( The ability to jack your shit and hide it. )
This skill is of particular note to those in history bearing the ideals known as Pirates. This skill allows the servant to take what is commonly known as ‘treasure’, swag or booty and hide it. Servants with a lower rank (Ranks E-D) of this skill produce maps that are decipherable by their enemies. Pirates with Ranks C-B, produce maps that are decipherable in conjunction with the enemies level of mana. Pirate servants with a mastery in this skill rarely return their treasure. Although they produce a map, a servant will likely die before the map is obtained by their enemy. Their enemies mana rank must then be sufficient (higher than the servant) to decode their map and find their treasure.

Swag is commonly taken by a pirate either through raids or by personal attacks. During a physical attack the swag will be grabbed. In its place a map will appear in the pirates hand. In the case of Mary, she is able to sometimes use her collectors skill or luck to procure rarer swag.

Noble Phantasm:
Rum Fog: EX

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”

The Rum Fog affects masters, servants as well as civilians or anyone that happens to get in the general pathway of the Rum Fog. Due to the toxicity of the Rum, the fog lowers the cognitive responses (Strength and Agility -1) of those who breathe in its fumes clouding judgement releasing one's inhibitions towards debauchery. For those with no mana resistance, the Rum fog will likely cause liver failure or extreme inebriation to the point of severe vomiting (esophagus erosion) within seconds of breathing in the poisonous alcoholic gas.

For those with mana resistance: Each moment becomes a perilous race to neurological illusionment, in a domino effect that trickles upwards the ranks the longer the noble phantasm is in play. Once the Rum Fog is gone, the effects still linger on a master/servant until they are sober.

If the battle persist for longer than five minutes while the Rum fog is still in effect:
Those with a Mana resistance of D or lower have likely perished or succumb to permanent drunken madness.

Battles longer than 10 -15minutes: Those with a mana resistance of C-B are affected by drunken madness.

After 20 minutes even those with A-Ex can not resist falling into drunken madness, although with high luck they may be able to break out of their self deprecating stupor in varying moments. (Endurance or Luck ranks A or higher )

Drunken Madness:

A depressive state that traps a person inside their minds eye. While their bodies are able to physically function in reality, their minds are trapped within illusion of reality conjured up by their subconsciousness

Soooo, Galla and I did this thing together. The Servant will be jointly played by us both.


Askr & Embla
Archer

Askr
Strength: A
Endurance: B
Agility: A
Mana: C
Magic Resistance: D
Luck: D

Casual Appearance:
Askr has rich red hair, kept just past his shoulders, with a modest beard. His skin sports the slightest of tans, and his eyes a dark brown. He wears a long shirt covered in large giraffe spots, with a low swooping collar and a plain brown leather belt at his waist. Under it, he wears tight brown pants tucked into long black boots.

Battle Appearance:
He wears a thick green shirt covered in chainmail and a leather breastplate. While one arm is missing its sleeves almost entirely, the other has both a leather bracer and single pauldron. He has fur lined boots over dark brown pants, and a short cape of matching dark fur. He wields a bow made of elm, decorated with intricately carved leaves and vines.

Embla
Strength: A
Endurance: C
Agility: A
Mana: D
Magic Resistance: B
Luck: C

Casual Appearance:

Elbow length white blond hair that has just a hint of wave. Pinned away from her face, but left mostly down and loose. Her eyes are a dark blue, and her skin looks untouched by the sun, only the slightest hint of color touches her cheeks. A form fitting, leopard print, pencil skirt that cuts just above her knees. A simple pair of black ballet style flats, paired with a modestly cut black long sleeve shirt complete the look.

Battle Appearance:

Hair is pulled back into twin braids, decorated with thin strips of dark leather. A thick leather breastplate, gifted to her by her gods, covers a long shirt of heavy blue cotton, the sleeves capped by dark leather gauntlets that match the breastplate. Dark brown pants, the same heavy cotton as the shirt, are tucked into fur lined black boots. She carries a single spear made of the wood of an Ash tree.


SKILLS

Independent Action - C
The Servant is capable of acting without its Master's mana supply for a period of time. C = 1 day

Bonded Souls - A

When both Askr and Embla are still alive, this skill increases the rank of all parameters by 1 and allows Hoddmímis Holt to be used. If either of them is killed, all bonuses will fade within ten minutes of the death and allows Call of Garmr to be used.

Shared Perception - D

Allows Askr and Embla to share sensorial inputs (sight, hearing, etc.) with one another from a distance as if a Shared Perception spell was used.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Götterdämmerung

Rank: EX
Effect:

Hoddmímis Holt

May only be used when both Askr and Embla are alive. When activated, their weapons are combined into one and a Bounded Field is created. Should Askr and Embla attack within this field, a torrent will be called forth to batter and drown the enemy, while they themselves are shielded by the branches of Yggdrasill and invulnerable until their attack is completed.

Call of Garmr

May only be used when either Askr or Embla is dead. Activation of this Noble Phantasm will strike their foe with natural disasters such as earthquakes, lightning strikes, and crashing meteors. Unlike Hoddmímis Holt, the damage caused by this attack is not contained within a Bounded Field, and no protection is given to the surviving Servant, leaving them vulnerable if their enemy can overcome the attack.

Signature Spells:

Uzhegh Tend: By reversing the healing intent of the Bloodstone this curse is used on a specific target. Initially the curse presents itself as a high fever, uncomfortable but not deadly. Prolonged exposure changes the target’s symptoms to those more akin with Hyperthermia: unconsciousness, organ failure and eventual death. Due to the mana and proximity requirements of this curse, death is easily avoidable.

Lodernden Schutz: A spell that combines both fire and wind elements to form a tornado like spire around the target. It is intended as a shielding spell and should only be used in short bursts as the visibility of the target lowers to near zero for the duration of the spell. With more focus it could become a short range attack spell, though the targeting ability is not very accurate.

Hölle Kröte: Despite being very visually impressive, this spell is largely illusionary. Fire and Earth are combined to create a 7 foot tall toad that looks to be made of liquid lava. While the toad can be effective as an independant offensive opponent it is not particularly strong, it is generally used as a diversion and to look impressive.

Plamya Lechit': With the use of a prepared Citrine, basic flame centered healing magic is amplified. The healing magic can be used for any physical wounds, but it is especially useful for ridding one of poisons as Citrine does not require cleansing.

Biography

Ell was born the eldest of, eventually, two children. She and her sister were close, if not in age. Though her parents were not anti-magic in any sense neither one really had the passion for magecraft, despite this each still contributed to the family crest out of obligation more than true interest. Ell showed an early interest in Elementalism and was tutored in this fashion rather than attending a specialized school. Her parents hoped that it might be just a phase. Her sister eventually joined her passion with an interest in Alchemy.

At fifteen, while rescuing her sister from drowning, Ell sustained extensive ocular damage to her left eye that left her completely blind on that side. While it is well within the capabilities of some healers to fix she decided to keep it as it was, despite her parent’s insistence. She was, and still very much is, insistent that magic shouldn’t be used to fix all of life’s imperfections.

This philosophy was applied without fault to most of her life, until her greatest tragedy. Her young sister, attempting a complicated spell well above her means, managed to destroy herself beyond fixing. There was nothing to heal. Nothing to work Necromancy on.

It had been initially thought that the crest would be given to the younger sister. When that was no longer a possibility the family magic was past to the living child with no complications.

Ell’s only hope is that the Grail can bring back the sister she lost.

SKILLS


Item Construction C

Item Construction: The Servant is able to create magical items. These items range in nature depending on the Servant, but have a power level consistent to their rank and can be overcome by attacks or defenses of a higher rank.

Territory Creation A

Territory Creation: The Servant is able to create a Bounded Field that amplifies their own abilities and the abilities of their Master while they are within it. Rank D provides abundant mana that can be shaped to any element by either the Servant or the Master. Rank C increases the Servant's Mana and the Master's Mana Affinity by 1 rank. Rank B decreases the enemy Servant's Mana and the enemy Servant's Mana Affinity by 1 rank. Rank A increases the Servant's Noble Phantasm by 1 Rank and the Master's Aether Affinity by 1 Rank. Rank EX provides both the Master and the Servant with infinite mana while inside the Bounded Field. The size of the Bounded Field is as follows: D = 100 ft., C = 500 ft., B = 1,000 ft., A = 5,000 ft., EX = 25,000 ft.

Omnipresence (C) - Rasputin is able to quickly manifest from his spirit form to his physical form in any location inside his Territory.

Presence Concealment EX

Presence Concealment: The Servant is able to hide their presence from enemy Servants. Rank D masks the Servant's class identity, this is broken if the Servant attempts to attack. Rank C masks the Servant's spiritual presence as a Servant, this is broken if the Servant attempts to attack. Rank B masks the Servants presence completely, this ability is broken if the Servant attempts to attack. Rank A allows the Servant to disappear completely even in mid-battle. Rank EX allows the Servant to attack even while concealed without breaking their stealth.

Familiar D

Rasputin possesses a familiar that he may communicate with as well as from. While capable of observing and reporting information, the familiar itself is physically harmless and possesses no other magical capabilities.

NOBLE PHANTASMS

Raspad Magiya A

Rasputin cuts directly in to the mana flow between a master and their servant from the shadows. After achieving the connection, he drains power from the servant in to his own reservoir, greatly weakening and all but dematerializing the servant.The excess power raises his Item Creation skill to EX for a short time, allowing him to forge a magical version of one of the weapons used to end his life. This weapon is then unleashed upon the weakened target, directly severing their soul from their body.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

And our final Servant joins the fray, keep in mind before you flip any tables that she is the overseer of the Grail War. If she has to fight at any point, something has gone very, very wrong.

I give you... Girl-lin.

Merlin knows the identity and statistics of each Heroic Spirit called forth in the Holy Grail War, as well as the precise nature of their Noble Phantasms.

Elementalism A

Merlin is a master of elemental magic and can evoke spells far beyond human ability with her magic.

Shapeshifting A

Merlin can assume any form she wishes, even that of other Servants, gaining the physical parameters of the form taken.

Natural Incarnation EX

Clairvoyance EX

Merlin has true sight in all things, being able to see infinitely far into the past and future, and into the innermost thoughts of any soul.

Command Seals EX

Merlin has been given 14 Command Seals by the Grail, which she may dole out to the competitors as rewards as she sees fit. She also has ability to revoke Command Seals from a Master, if they are found to be in violation of the rules of the Grail War.

Noblesse Oblige
Rank: A ~ EX+
Effect: Merlin is able to call upon the Noble Phantasms of the other Arthurian figures: Arthur's Excalibur, Lancelot's Arondight, Gawain's Galatine, and Mordred's Clarent. It is also possible, in truly dire circumstances in which a Grail War has descended into complete anarchy, for Merlin to use these Noble Phantasms to summon the Heroic Spirits themselves, acting as their Master and using her own Command Seals to control and power them.

SIGNATURE SPELLS

Cellular Suggestion

Hemlock passes his mana through the cells and structures of small living and non living organisms, taking control of them. From here he uses the spell to either move the cells from their host to another location (Him or another target), or to alter and grow them.

Expulsion

Disguised as a violent cough, Expulsion moves a chosen contagion through Hemlock's mouth, essentially turning it in to a ranged breath weapon. With a mix of Wind and Fire, the contagion attempts to take hold and fester at an extremely accelerated rate. With enough power, this spell can fill the air around Hemlock to make a large but hardly perceived cloud of disease and plague.


Terminal

Isaac takes time to take hold of a larger organic structure, attempting to control an entire organ of his target. Once taking hold, he alters or completely shuts down the organ, rendering it unable to be controlled by the host body.

Transfer

Hemlock weaves the very life force from one living being to another. This allows him to restore life to a dying creature at the expense of another living one. The process is time consuming and requires an incredible amount of focus, and therefore is impossible to perform during combat.

Suspension

Hemlock manipulates every cell in an organism's body, slowing them to a near complete standstill. This prevents all active effects or dying for the target body, and the body stays in this state until the spell is suspended. Hemlock can use this spell upon himself, but he would essentially be dead since he would have no way to end it.

Biography:

Isaac Darby Hemlock was born in Sunderland, England. From an early age he was conscripted by his father to help in the family veterinary practice. With guidance from him, Isaac grew to become a skilled practitioner of the healing arts, both in animals and people. This was attributed to his study under his father, but the actual reason was his passing on the gift of magics to a young Isaac. His magical talents manifested in the form of manipulation of the very cells of a body, allowing him to remove diseases from his patients. He quickly outgrew his father's talents and advanced in the medical field, mostly due to his supernatural understanding of how the body and organisms functioned. Instead of becoming a famous surgeon or specialist, he decided to remain in the countryside as a village physician, making house calls and visiting the more remote locales.

Isaac's life took a turn for the darker side when The Troubles spilled over in to England. He lost his father to the violence, and enlisted in the Royal Army Medical Corps to help aid and heal those affected. His military time took him from sporadic relief efforts with the The Troubles to the Dhofar Rebellion in Oman to the notorious Falkland War. Always passing up promotion to stay in the field, Isaac had a "knack" for bringing back fellow soldiers alive, saving many a life under fire. He had a habit of refusing both commendation and attention, wanting to keep his abilities and exploits in the obscurity where they belonged.

During operations in Oman, Isaac was responsible for evacuating several wounded civilians. One of his rescued was a grievously injured mage, delirious and on the brink of death. With many wounded and unable to save them all, Hemlock was forced to let the wizard perish. In his final minutes, the mage told Isaac of the coming war over the Grail, and where it was to take place. Isaac took the man's babbling as mere reaction to trauma, but his words stuck with him, and as the year of the fabled war drew closer, Isaac's mind has begun to slowly turn to the matter.

In retirement, Hemlock has taken up his old practices of visiting rural communities as a physician and veterinarian. His time in the military, as well as the tragic loss of his father, has darkened his outlook on life. What appears to be a deceptively aged man as the picture of perfect health conceals a darker reality. His body houses the diseases and afflictions of those he has healed, and is a cesspool of contagion. His lungs are riddled with cancer from his constant smoking, held inert by his own magic. The mass of pain and disease he has seen, as well as his age, have left him bitter towards others. In the last few months he has vacationed to France. Specifically Avignon, continuing his practices as a small-time doctor on the side but secretly watching for those who would participate in such a foolish war. If the Grail is real, and its power is true, then Hemlock would like to see one more war through, even if it means taking the life of those involved.

SERVANT STAT MODIFIERS: +1 Luck/-1 Magic Resistance

SPELLS KNOWN:

[Selfish Sanguinis]One of the Gabriel Family's signature spells, using the principles of fire and water, Mr. Kite can drain an enemy's blood and use it as a catalyst to amplify and accelerate his own natural healing. For this to work, both drainer and drained must have an open wound for the blood to transfer from. Depending on the amount of blood syphoned, Mr. Kite can do anything from healing minor cuts and bruises to mend broken bones and repair damaged organs. The more blood he drains from his opponent the stronger the healing becomes, effectively meaning that the more damage he does, the more he heals himself.
Mr. Kite, given the time, can also imbue a weapon with this spell, allowing the wielder to heal from their attacks as he would, again, given that they have an open wound for the blood to transfer through.
The spell can also be used, to a lesser extent, to transfer information, given that it’s rooted deep enough in the subject that the knowledge is part of their blood.

[Selfless Sanguinis]The other side of Selfish Sanguinis’s coin, this spell uses the same principles but reverses them. Mr. Kite can use his own blood to heal others the same way he heals himself, as always given that both he and his target have an open wound to facilitate the transfer. Unfortunately, he cannot cast both spells simultaneously, meaning that he must rely on his own blood to heal his friends. Once he has replenished his own blood through either Selfish Sanguinis or medical treatment, he can use the spell again, but he must take care not to drain himself completely before he gets the chance.

[Cruor Hastam Assault]Mr. Kite’s only long range offensive spell, this technique involves coagulating any blood available (his own or any lying around during a battle) to form razor sharp spears that he can fire at enemies with deadly precision. Depending on the amount of blood used to make them, the spear can be only dense enough to pierce flesh or strong enough to fire through stone.

[Irrefragabiles Juggernaut Coagulation]A more defensive spell which requires a substantial amount of blood to perform. Mr. Kite can manipulate the iron in a large amount of blood, typically that of himself or a heavily wounded allie, to create a dense layer of coagulated blood armor around the target. The armor is durable and conforms to the recipient’s form, allowing for excellent protection without hindering movement.
The density is comparable to iron plate armor and may be broken with enough force, but when formed, closes all wounds on its wearer.

[Sanguinis Fluxum Patiebatur Trump Card]The final and most powerful spell passed down only to the heads of the Gabriel line. Mr. Kite can, as a last resort, inject 75% of his blood into an opponent through their wounds with a particularly dense Cruor Hastam Assault. The spell has no immediately apparent effects, but once his blood has sufficiently intermingled with that of his foe, Mr. Kite can forcibly coagulate all blood in their system and force it to erupt from within them in the form of numerous razor sharp spikes.
Due to the heavy toll it takes to perform, Mr. Kite has never used it, but always has it in his back pocket for the day death finally gets close enough to force his hand. If the target isn’t killed by this spell, Mr. Kite is essentially defeated as with only 25% of his blood left, he’s unable to use his other spells and can barely remain conscious.

Biography:

Benji Gabriel is the first born son and heir to Canada’s most infamous family line of Magi: The Gabriels. The Gabriels were outcasts and pariahs of The Mage Association and The Church due to their unique specialty, “Sanguinem Alchimia” or Blood Alchemy. Mistrust and rumors had circulated about the Gabriel Line for generations, leading many to believe they were at best debased psychopathes and at worst Dead Apostles. The Gabriels did not pay the rumors any mind, almost grateful that their notoriety allowed them the piece and quiet to practice and hone their techniques. Had they been less apathetic, perhaps they could have been better prepared for what was coming.
When Benji was but 5 years of age, the Gabriel Manor was assault by a joint coalition of Inquisitors and Wizard Marshalls. Upon realizing that there was almost no chance of him making it out alive, Benji’s father, Alexander Gabriel, rushed his son to the estate’s basement. While his family was slaughtered upstairs, Alexander frantically performed a rushed version of the ritual to transfer the family’s Crest to his son. He’d only barely finished when the door was smashed down and he was executed on the spot.
Luckily, Benji had escaped through an old service tunnel with Alexander’s brother in law. Benji would be raised by his “Uncle Theo” in Toronto until the man drank himself to death when Benji was 16.
Theo had never told Benji about his family’s history or the world of magi, but the young man had always been drawn to the occult and supernatural. He’d been planning to study mythology and occultism in college, but his uncle's death forced him out of high school and into the workforce.
Benji was able to get by with unskilled part time labor and various odd jobs. He hated Toronto, especially the closed door politics and under the table dealings the city’s government had become known for. Even so, he had nowhere to go and no one to turn to, so he was forced to grin and bare it.
Upon his 18th birthday, which he celebrated with one of his only friends, Christian Pepper, and box of wine, Benji Gabriel received a package from his late father. Inside was a journal Alexander had kept and ensured would find it’s way to his son in the event he could not give it to him himself. Inside was five centuries worth of the Gabriel’s knowledge and techniques.
Upon discovering that he was, in fact, a magus, a smirk spread across Benji’s face. When his very drunk friend asked why he was so happy, Benji responded, “Because now I can do something about everything that’s wrong with this city.”
Benji Gabriel decided to use his newly discovered talents to help make the city he’d grown up in somewhere more interesting and safer for the lower class. So, while he honed his skills, he and Christian established The Lonely Hearts Club; a gang of outcasts and upstarts that took it upon themselves to bring vigilante justice to the corrupt capital of Ontario. The name was the result of a running joke between the two friends based on Christian's last name and as such they thought it only fitting to re-christen themselves “Sargent Pepper”and “Mister Kite,” in keeping with the theme of the group’s namesake.
Sgt. Pepper lead the organization while Mr. Kite advised and studied behind the scenes. The group started by targeting and attacking police officers notorious for abusing their power and moved on to robbing small banks and city officials. Eventually, the city became a war zone between the local law enforcement and this modern day band of Merry Men. After three years of conflict, the balance of power shifted in The Lonely Hearts Club’s favor, thanks in no part to Mr. Kite’s “otherworldly vampiric abilities,” and both sides came to an unspoken truce.
It was in this time of relative peace when Mr. Kite discovered the existence of The Holy Grail War and learned that one was fast approaching. Now modestly well off with the ill gotten loot of various public officials and bank branches, he was able to afford a plane ticket and a small apartment in the French city the Holy Grail was to appear in.
As such, he left the group in the capable hands of Sgt. Pepper and left the city he’d fought to change in the hopes of returning with the Holy Grail in hand to finally wipe corruption and systematic oppression off the face of the Earth.

SIGNATURE SKILLS

Earthly Bond – By making direct contact with a solid, natural material such as earth or stone, the Magus can draw out mana that isn’t readily available on the surface or in the air. This allows mana to be utilized from multiple sources at once without depleting the Magus’ own mana reserve.

Grounding – By making direct contact with a solid material such as earth or stone, the Magus can redirect and release mana into the surrounding environment that would have been dangerous to absorb themselves. This prevents damage to the Magus by limiting the number of magic circuits the mana passes through, and can potentially nullify or weaken curses meant to attack the Magus’ ability to perform magic.

Overgrowth – When activated, the environmental mana becomes attuned to the Magus. Effected mana will be as easy for the caster to use as if it were from their own reserve, while making it more difficult for others. Those with high mana affinity will be less affected, but elemental attunements will no longer apply until the effect wears off. When the Magus leaves the area or Overgrowth is deactivated, environmental mana will return to its normal attunement in a matter of hours.

God’s Hand – A general use healing spell, taught to Erik by his older brother.

Projection – The specialization of Erik’s family, he was taught how to create objects out of magical energy. This is limited by his understanding of the object in question and how vivid his mental picture of it is. As his lessons were incomplete, he can only make objects as strong as they would normally be, and they only last around an hour. Alternatively, Erik can create an illusion instead of fully crafting the object. An illusion will only be maintained for as long as Erik can focus on it, and will dissolve once the image is lost or mana is no longer supplied.


Biography
Erik was born the youngest of his family, a full year after the family's magical inheritance had passed to his eldest sibling. From a young age, he showed extraordinary potential for managing his mana, but no consideration for the dangers or consequences of spells. Because of this, neither his parents nor his siblings would teach him more than the safest spells and techniques, leaving his mage education much to be desired. Despite their concerns, none in his family treated him differently otherwise, giving him a normal, unremarkable childhood.

When Erik decided to enroll in University at the Clock Tower, his brother and sisters were already out of school and starting their own lives. It didn't take long for him to lose contact with his family completely as his studies overtook his life. As enthusiastic as he was, however, he did poorly in everything past the initial examinations. His sudden bursts of mana did him little favors with his professors, but earned him notice by the Mage Association itself. He was pulled from his courses and taught more efficient ways to gather an expend mana by participating in complex rituals as an additional supply to draw from, and for a time, acted as a temporary apprentice to other mages attending the school.

Erik, while as poor as ever at working Magecraft of his own, was dedicated to every task he was given. Through this, he earned his share of allies in the Association. Allies that, in a few short years, acquired the Magic Crest of a defunct mage line compatible enough to attempt transferring it to Erik.

It was only thanks to his talents controlling mana that the Crest wasn't rejected by his own magic circuits.
