Beast Spear Magic
Magic Name: Beast Spear
Magic Type: Holder Primary (+2 Abilities), Requip Auxiliary (2 Requips At Once)
Description: A unique form of magic which is utilized by Vance Saylor, which focuses primarily on the use of a handcrafted bone spear he designed himself. The spear in question is carved from the bones of an Alpha Vulcan, and possesses the ability to Takeover. This grants it the ability to, after taking over a target, shift into a form that accesses the target's abilities including physical parameters and magical or pseudo-magical abilities.
Vance uses this Spear in his Big Game hunting, and it represents his life's work, equal in value to a whole trophy vault or more! When he kills or disables particularly dangerous beasts, he'll take them over to gain access to a new form and add it to his collection. Because this is restricted to his equipment, however, it runs much more parallel to Requip Magic than it does to Takeover.
Holder Weapon
Vance's spear, Predator Apex, is a shapeshifting weapon linked to all Beast Spear form Requips, granting them additional basic damage, as well as all of its abilities.

Description: A spear crafted from the amalgamated bones of an Alpha Vulcan, possessing the signature ability to Takeover other creatures, yet limited to spearlike forms. This tool is also known as the 'Beast Spear' and is used by Vance Saylor in his primary magic of the same name. All pieces he used to assemble this spear were plentifully present in the Alpha Vulcan's corpse (extracted and cleaned properly, as well) and thusly if broken, he can repair it later. The important part is the Takeover memories stored in the lacrima caged within the multiple spearblades.- Imagine A Lacrima Encaged in the Blades:

Abilities:
Name: Takeover
Rank: User Ranked (Up To S)
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Single Target
Description: A statless ability which requires permission to use against qualifying players, player controlled NPCs or Pets, or Event NPCs. This ability represents the core function of the Beast Spear as a tool for Taking Over magical beasts. Once it draws blood from a beast it can temporarily transform into a spear form representing said beast, gaining access to an active ability based on the beast's listed capabilities or physiology, equal to this ability's rank or the beast's highest listed damage letter, whichever is lower. This uses a requip slot, as normal.
He can only use the gained active ability once before the spear loses its form. He can only permanently Takeover a beast by using a spell slot, depleting the beasts HP, and apping it properly; When he fells a beast, he can instead activate this ability on them to absorb their whole body into the spear, which allows him to use any available empty spell slots he has to do so.

Description: A peculiar feature of Predator Apex is its ability to seperate into additional spears which can also use takeover forms he has accumulated. Thanks to Synergy with Beast Spear magic's Auxiliary Requip, he can split it into two spears for free, for access to two different (or two of the same) forms at once (two of the same form are the same as only using that form, no self-stacking).
However, this ability is something different: He multiplies the spear into as many as he can manage, causing myriad spear forms to appear. They then fly around at odd angles and trajectories to try and strike multiple foes, each foe within range can be hit for one instance of this damage total per round (split between all the spears that tried to hit them). This counts as Melee Damage. When the spell's duration ends, they disappear by converging on the spear he is holding. He cannot use Chimera Drive while this is active, and vice-versa.

Description: The equal and opposite to Mitosis Drive, sort of like flipping a two-way switch the other direction, this spell causes multiple spear forms to amalgamate into one form. Thanks to synergy with Beast Spear magic's Auxiliary Requip he can have two different spear forms amalgamated into one form freely, combining their capabilities and benefits, using the higher one's base damage, otherwise functionally identical to having two weapon requips activated.
However, this Ability takes it to another level. By consolidating many forms together at once, Vance draws out the uncanny potential held within the spear. By activating this mode, shifting between Spear Forms loses any visual cues, and his Melee Damage is boosted by 75% at D Rank, 82% at C Rank, 90% at B Rank, and 97% at A Rank. Additionally, the unpredictable fluctuations of power surrounding the spear and himself will counter debuffs, reducing their effectiveness by 50% while this mode is active. He cannot use Mitosis Drive while this is active, and vice-versa.

Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: The Velocity Raptor is a bipedal feathered reptilian beast roughly the size of a large buck, which possesses incredible speed the likes of which confound many hunters. The trick is found in the airsacks of the beast which it uses to store air, and release it in powerful bursts of acceleration. After understanding this, Vance managed to pin down and takeover this beast with his spear. The resulting form has a slightly hooked beak-like spearhead, with a feathered airsack at the base of the spearhead, while the remaining haft is coated in smooth colorful scales.- ExSpeed:

Description: Vance's trick-ultimate move utilizing the Velocity Raptor Beast Spear. The airsack inhales a vast lungful of air to the point where it expands to four or five times its size. He then perform a lunging strike with all his might put behind it, expelling the air forward to dramatically enhance the power of the blow. This counts as Melee Damage for practical purposes.

Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: The Salamandrake, not to be confused with a Salamander, is a sentient wooden plant-based monster which accumulates chemicals in its body which, when combined, produce a powerful combustion reaction. Its greatest weakness was itself, however, as the fire-resistant sap it coated the flame spouting orifice with did not spread to the rest of its body. Vance took it over while it was trapped under a tree that had collapsed from its own flames. The resulting spear looks a good deal like a large gnarled tree branch one might use as a walking stick in two hands, which twists around itself and contains a translucent pair of baubles containing the chemicals.- Infernal Shriek:
Name: Infernal Shriek

Type: Area of Effect
Damage: 20HP, +10 Damage Per Round for 3 Rounds
Range: 30 Meters
Speed: 15 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Rounds
Downside: N/A
Description: A simple triggering of the Salamandrake's signature ability. By inducing the chemicals in the spear to combine, a gout of burning volatile fluid is expelled from the tip, allowing Vance to coat a wide area in front of him with flames. Twirling the spear overhead will cover the most effective range by firing outwards in a circle, even coating the ground. Anyone who enters this zone or who is hit by the initial attack will be ignited and take damage over time until the flames quell at the end of the duration.

Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Inciting the spear to grow, several gnarled branches extend and wind from the haft, seeking to ensnare nearby victims. If they successfully wrap around the targets they will be bound for one post, and be crushed constrictor-style. Can entangle three foes at any one time, and only once every other post. People have individual immobility cooldowns, meaning he can entangle different targets on the off-posts of others.

Downside: N/A
Description: Unicorns are a fairly well-known species of magical beast, known for the healing properties of their blood and the potency of their horns as a material for healing items and potions, which lead to their endangerment and vaunted rarity. Of course, there are ever the odd encounter with one for the men of the wilds, and the materials still find themselves on the black markets to this day. How Vance took one over? Don't think him some kind of cruel poacher. He was putting down a wounded unicorn who couldn't so much as move, and took this opportunity to get a morally questionable upgrade to his spear as well. The resulting spear form has a long thin helix shell-shaped spearhead, and with a smooth white haft and tufts of flowing golden fur at either base of the haft.- Life Injection:

Description: While running magic through the spear, Vance taps into the healing properties of the Unicorn, and can essentially stab life into people. It initially hurts still, but no wounds or lingering pain are left behind. Instead, wounds close and the body is filled with vigor, giving the patient the ability to keep fighting.

Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Titan Rex is a tyrannical reptilian beast of terrible power which had the magical ability to grow larger and larger when it felt threatened. An apex predator of unprecidented magnitude, it was poised to end the local ecosystems with the mere diet it might require. However, this legendary beast simply up and disappeared one day, as though it never existed. In truth, this is Vance's greatest work, ecologically speaking, though it was entirely tied to the dumb luck of finding the beast while it was sleeping. He took it over without much of a struggle, and got paid on time for supper. The resulting form could be likened to a length of roughly cylindrical unworked stone with a blade emerging from one end.- Mountain Buster:
Name: Mountain Buster
Rank: D+
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: The Titan Rex was a mighty beast which could eventually even crush mountains were it to be left unchecked. By increasing the size and dimensions of this spear to his will, Vance gains +75% melee damage.

MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 90 HP
Range: 90 Meters
Speed: 45 Meters Per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: Reduced Spell Speed 50% to increase damage 50%
Description: The spearhead transforms into the head of a Titan Rex, meanwhile the haft grows wider and extends like taffy, allowing the sentient head to hunt down and try to chomp on foes mightily with its titanic jaws. There is a degree of innate danger involved with this spell, since it's a sentient beast and it could easily try to attack his friends if he isn't careful. This attack counts as melee damage.
