Lunar Guardian

Magic

   Magic Name: Lunar Guardian
   Magic Type: Caster
   Training Thread: Rise of the Lunar Guardian
   Description: This magic was gifted to Diana by Selene, a goddess of the moon. It was granted to her after Diana was ambushed by a mysterious hit squad outside Silent Cemetery and carried into the cemetery by her would-be killers, then was left to feed the zombies. Selene came to Diana's rescue and destroyed the zombies, then healed the wounded mage and restored her to life. In return for this great boon Selene made Diana a Lunar Guardian, an agent charged with hunting and destroying darkness no matter what form it took.

Lunar Guardian is a magic that allows Diana to gain powerful benefits to fighting at night or in dark places so that evil will find no refuge in shadowy caves or dark, abandoned houses. It grants her numerous offensive spells, all of which can harm supernatural entities in addition to mundane enemies; some of the lower-level spells allow Diana to fight without a weapon. Many of the higher-level spells are good for crowd control, enabling her to hold her own against multiple adversaries. Rounding out the spells of Lunar Guardian are a few defensive and healing spells to keep Diana and her allies on their feet.


   Unique Abilities:
   

• Ability 1: Bane Of The Undead: The undead are abominations in Selene's sight and her chosen guardians are empowered to destroy them with greater ease than the average mage. Diana gets a 60% boost to damage against ghosts, zombies, vampires, and other types of undead creatures no matter what region they hail from. This UA works at all times of day and also works indoors and outdoors.
     
  
• Ability 2: Guardian's Reach: Lunar Guardians have a long reach and can strike enemies who think themselves beyond a guardian's reach. When night falls or Diana enters a dark place, Diana gains a 30% boost to both Spell Range and Spell Speed. It works both indoors and outdoors.
     
  
• Ability 3: Selene's Protection: Selene has blessed Diana with the fortitude necessary to travel into dens of evil and fear no darkness. When night falls or Diana enters a dark place, she gains a 30% boost to both Physical and Magical Defense. It works both indoors and outdoors.
     
  

Divine Empowerment (Plot Ability):

Divine Empowerment- Diana has been granted the power to empower normal weapons with divine power. Diana can empower any mundane weapon (sword, knife, club, warhammer, firearm, etc.) and grant it the ability to harm the supernatural. This Plot Ability does not grant additional damage to the weapon; it only allows normal weapons to harm enemies that they otherwise could not hurt. If she empowers a firearm, the effect ends once the weapon's current magazine is emptied.

Hunter's Trail (Plot Ability):

Hunter's Trail- Very little can hide from a Lunar Guardian. Once Diana has made eye contact with a target, if it leaves her line of sight, she can follow it via a small silver trail that is left on the ground or in the air that only she can see. OOC permission is required to use this Plot Ability on a PC or Event NPC.

Guardian's Sight (Plot Ability):

Guardian's Sight- Any supernatural entity attempting to change its form with illusion magic will have a tough time evading Diana. Guardian's Sight allows Diana to see through illusion magic to identify supernatural entities (vampires, kitsunes, ghosts, etc.) trying to pass as normal humans or hide among the surroundings. OOC permission is required to use this Plot Ability on a PC or Event NPC.
