Secondary Magic: N/A
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description:
Fallen Trickster's Magic is the leftover remnants of a Trickster God's power. It uses rule bending to accomplish pranks and tricks that that can be anything from small and harmless to large and potentially fatal. This magic's abilities are many and varied but always based on manipulation and subterfuge.All spells within its purview are cast in the same manner, by focusing on the user's intent and drawing from the reserve of magic that each and every mage holds within them to bend the laws of reality.

Aoki uses his magic in a far more efficient and calculating way then most tricksters in an effort to get the most bang for his buck.Having said that, he is a former trickster god and if he feels someone is being too uptight or annoying then he won't hesitate to try to mess with them.This sometimes causes Aoki to use up his magical power frivolously and has been the cause of more than one setback on his part.
Innate Abilities:
-Trickster's Grace:Users of this type of magic are blessed with great charisma and agility.
-Trickster's Sight:Users of this magic can see in total darkness and through illusions, smoke, and fog. <<< Remember that this only applies to the stuff of your own rank. And magic-based illusions that directly affect your mind in some way or form, will not be able to be seen through. Can't have ya countering an Illusion Mage with one simple ability. But you could e.g. see through clones and all of that
-Tracker's Bane:A trickster leaves no tracks, even in snow, and can change their scent at will.
Aura Type:
N/A
Strengths:
-Capable of Quick Travel:Users are capable of long range Teleportation via portals.
-Superb Support Capability:Illusion and Teleportation are both quite handy for supporting a group.
-Quick Cast Times:This type of magic requires no fancy words or gestures as it is the expression of the user's will. This makes casting as simple as focusing on their intent and supplying the energy.
Weaknesses:
-Weak Against God Slayers:As it draws its power from the same source as a full trickster deity, god slayers can overcome this magic easier than normal.
-High Mp Costs:To a mortal creature the magical cost for using a even a little trickster spell is usually half again whatever a spell of that rank costs. <<< While I think that this is an extremely valid weakness, I believe that it is a bit too dominant. You can say that you need to pay an additional:
1/2/3/4/5/6 % MP for spells of D/C/B/A/S/H rank. That would suffice and balance up into the ranks. And if you apply that on sig spells, making them have a small cost, that would mean you could get away with some pretty strong stuff. But that's in the future. You can change it to my list for now, or to some other idea you have.
-Alerting Bigger Fish: Because of it's similarity to other deities magics, users might draw the attention of local spirits or minor gods if the magic is regularly employed in a given thread.(At least 30% Mp used) <<< What is the point of this weakness? How does this affect the user?
-Friendly Doubt: Some people find it hard to trust someone who uses this brand of magic once they have seen them work.
Lineage:
Commander Aura:
Description: There was once a great general who served for the king of Fiore. He was a great tactician and his mere presence boosted the morale of his men. With him in the front lines, Fiore had won many battles against invading nearby countries. Eventually peace was achieved so his services were no longer needed. So the general settled down and got married. Some of his pro genies became very good commanders, but that is entirely a different story.
Ability: The user gains two abilities. Commanders Presence and The strategist. Commanders Presence increases the morale and fighting spirit of his allies while The strategist boosts the user ability to make sound and well devised tactics.
Usage: Commanders presence can be activated twice per thread and lasts for 3 posts and has a cool-down of 5 posts. The strategist is an active ability that lets the user make sharp and accurate decisions that will benefit his allies(2 dice rolls per attack). Same cool-down and can only be used twice per thread as well. (Both works only when in a team)
