Description:
It is said that magic is the extension of one's will, the physical manifestation of the power of one's soul, though in the end a tool created to achieve one's own goal, designed to overpower the will of others, carrying with it inherent selfishness. Still, magic is not a fundamental law of nature, but yet another weapon of war, another device created. The author of this lineage scroll, however, claims that magic is not the pinnacle of power, but quite the opposite. It is written that there are things that easily surpass the limitations set by magical abilities. Magic, like many things among men, is but an artificial concept, and, as the author of this strange, almost cryptic lineage scroll claims, something objectively inferior to the abilities granted by the depths of the cosmos ... and what elder horrors reside within those depths, of course.

Abilities:

Sovereign of Nothingness:
The user of this lineage is granted insight into the inner workings of the cosmos, the very fundament of reality itself, by trading something of theirs to higher powers, in one way or another, in exchange for power that is unreachable for those relying on magic to reach their goals. The user gains access to a new magic type called "Cosmic" and is able to use this magic type to create magics. Cosmic Magic in itself is not magic per se, but rather the manipulation of cosmic energies by the user, similar in effect to casting "Caster" type spells. The benefit levels for Cosmic Magic are specified below (These benefits apply only to the "Cosmic" type magic in question, not the character itself, excluding the MP increase):

• Solitary: +3 posts to max spell durations, +50% MP cost reduction, +25% to MP
  
• Primary: +2 posts to max spell durations, +50% MP cost reduction, +15% to MP
  
• Auxiliary: +1 posts to max spell durations, +50% MP cost reduction, +10% to MP
  

Imperator of Dust:
The user of this lineage, while granted the knowledge to manipulate and utilize cosmic energies, is also indirectly granted superior knowledge over the nature and flow of Magic and Ethernano. The wielder can apply this knowledge to directly influence the magic of another, though it is not unlimited. This allows the user to, once per thread, negate a spell within their user-rank burst range for free, provided the spell is of H rank or lower. This negation is not affected by counter-effects and cannot be negated itself. The spell being negated seems to lose color, turning grey before fading away into dust, scattering into nothing. After the spell is negated, the user absorbs its magical power for their own use, gaining the MP it took to produce the spell that was negated through this lineage effect originally.

Regent of the Void:
The user of this lineage, after studying the scroll containing details of the horrors from beyond, has gained an innate understanding of the fabric that makes up reality itself, and, in a small way, is granted the ability to manipulate this very fabric, altering the manifestation of their will to give them an advantage. The user gains a base increase to their MP depending on their rank (Increases follow the chart below). The base increase is factored in before all buffs apply. Further, the user also gains access to a 5% MP regen per post which is independent from their regular MP regen maximum, meaning the combined total MP regen, including this ability, can reach 10% per post max.

• D rank: +25 base MP
  
• C rank: +50 base MP
  
• B rank: +75 base MP
  
• A rank: +100 base MP
  
• S rank: +125 base MP
  
• H rank and above: +150 base MP
  

Monarch of Emptiness:
Cosmic energy, in effect, interacts with its environment similarly to magic, though is, at its core, vastly more powerful, flexible, and possesses a higher potential for manipulation than magic itself. Still, Cosmic Magic requires great intellect, intuition, and skill to wield effectively, though, through the insight granted by this scroll, that shouldn't be a problem for the user. The user, as a consequence, gains 2 additional Signature Spell slots to be used on a single one of their "Cosmic" type magics, one additional Advanced Spell slot that ranks up with the user (Up to S+) to be used on a single one of their "Cosmic" type magics, and an additional H+ rank Advanced Spell slot (Unlocked at H rank) to be used on a single one their "Cosmic" type magics. Further, the user has the option to give up their H rank spell slot within one of their "Cosmic" magics to gain an additional H+ rank Advanced Spell slot (Unlocked at H rank) within the same magic, though this spell is limited to a single user per thread and costs double the regular base MP to cast.

Ruler of All:
While the user's understanding of reality extends to the control of magic and magical power, it is not exclusively limited to it. The user, through the secrets revealed to them by this scroll, has obtained the ability to shape reality itself. This grants them a 200% buff to spell damage while also granting the following effect: Within their user-rank advanced Multi Target range, the user can freely shape the world around themselves according to their liking. This includes changing the physical state of materials, their shape, density, temperature, and all other attributes they possess. This further enables the user to manipulate all aspects of their selves, including voice, appearance, blood type et cetera. If players, player-owned NPCs, Event NPCs or player-owned equipment are manipulated in any way using this ability the user must seek OOC permission before. Attacks with a manipulated element always possess user-rank advanced Multi Target range and move at user-rank advanced Multi Target speed, dealing user-rank advanced Multi Target damage (capped at H+ rank). This ability can also be used to generate a single shield per post, which is always set at 2x rank advanced durability, though only the attack or the defense can be used in a single post, not both.
