Name of Ability?
Vörðr (1000)

Ability Effects:
Summon (300)
Positive Modifier: Triggered - Upon severe harm directed towards Amalia (50)
Negative Modifier: Limited - Can only be summoned via trigger (-50), Finite (-50)

Protection 5 (500)
Positive Modifier: Self/Other (125), Ongoing (0)
Negative Modifier: Weakness - Can only protect those with dead loved ones (-125)

Concealment 1 - Sight (100)
Positive Modifier: Ongoing (0)
Negative Modifier:

Flying 1 (200)
Positive Modifier: Ongoing (0)
Negative Modifier: Limited - Can only hover a few feet off the ground (-50)

Descriptor: Vörðr resides within Amalia’s heart. It is one of the few spirits that she cannot intentionally manifest. Instead it manifests itself when Amalia is in the path of significant harm. It is naturally invisible, but those able to see supernatural entities would see a golden disc surrounded by a halo of light. If one looked closely they would be able to see a multitude of ever-changing faces on the disc’s surface. Once manifested it acts as a protector, using its own body as a shield for Amalia and occasionally her allies. It remains silent unless it is protecting someone. It will try to comfort whoever it is protecting by speaking in the voice of a dead loved one. Whether this is truly a loved one speaking from the grave or simply a facsimile created by Vörðr is unknown. After several minutes the spirit dissipates and returns to Amalia's heart, unable to manifest again for several days.

Essence Cost: 1000

For your Summon Effect - Your Limited modifier cannot be the same as your Triggered modifier. In order to qualify as a Limited modifier, an Effect must lose half of its effectiveness. That is not the case here, as the ability still works exactly as intended.

For your Protection modifier - Your Weakness modifier would work better as a Limited modifier, as it only works under certain circumstances.

In addition, if this can protect both Amalia and her friends -at the same time-, you will need to replace Self/Other with Affects Multiple. Otherwise, leave it as it is.

Name of Ability?
Devour

Ability Effects:
Healing Rank 5 (1000)
-Affects Multiple (250)
-Ongoing (500)
-Ranged (250)
-Concentration (-250)
-Activation (-250)
-Indiscriminate (-250)
-Limited to Corpses (-250)

Descriptor: Beatrix revels in death, absorbing the lingering energy of all nearby corpses and sapping the life energy from everyone around her. This ability restores her health, vitality, and endurance. Beatrix must focus for ten seconds upon which her eyes flare up with bright red energy. The very light around her begins to warp and bend. After the ability is activated it is possible to watch as life energy is consumed from everything around her. She can move and fight while concentrating, but any sort of big disruption to her psyche cancels the effect.

Essence Cost: 1000

STAFF EDIT: This no longer sounds like it is Limited if it “only works on corpses” but also saps the life energy of all others in the area who are presumably still alive.

Dissolve Arcana

Ability Effects:
Protection 7 (700)
- Limited: Spellwork (-350)
- Self/Other (175)
- Ranged (350)
- Finite (-350)

Debuff 7 (700)
- Limited: Spellwork (-350)
- Ranged (350)
- Finite (-350)

Descriptor: Elise fixes her gaze on a source of magic or an ongoing magical effect within her line of sight, and makes a slashing motion with her hand while invoking the incantation 'Kan Sehr'! Assuming that the power of this anti-magic spell is stronger than that of the targeted spell, that spell will fizzle and die before it can resolve. Elise can even shut down an enemy's spell before they fully shape it, but her timing must be perfect. Likewise, her reflexes may not always be quick enough to intercept a fireball mid-flight, for example.

This magic can also end temporarily interrupt ongoing magical effects, or end them early depending on the type of spell. Any ability interrupted by Dissolve Arcana must be actively cast or an explicitly magical effect. Like her other spellwork, Elise can only use this spell four times before taking four hours to re-attune her magical energy.

Essence Cost: 875

Medical: Rank 5 250

Phortea's Fulgoric Dispute

Ability Effects:
Damage Rank 4 (400)
Indirect (400) Chaotic (-250) Weakness (-100)

Move Object 2 (200)
Chaotic (-100)

Descriptor: A spell borne of annoyance, and hatred. Often used when Izaneus becomes too particularly angry in conversation, which, although rare, has happened in a few immature fits of rage. In which this spell was used as the end of said dispute.

A blast of lightning emanates from the users hand from which they need only touch their target for it to take full effect. If the target is touching something which the lightning can conduct through, such as metal, or some other surface. The lightning courses through it, and thus strikes it's target.

After the electricity finds its mark, the target is blasted backwards 15 feet.

After the spell has begun, it cannot be stopped, and must find a target. The lightning does not work against lightning elementals.

Essence Cost: 650

STAFF EDIT: the way this spell is written, it does not seem as this ability utilizes chaotic. please re-submit either explaining the reasoning for the 'chaotic' modifier or removing it from the spell.

Finite (-100)

Descriptor: A spell borne of annoyance. Okften used when Izaneus becomes too particularly angry in conversation, which, although rare, has happened in a few immature fits of rage. In which this spell was used as the end of said dispute.

A blast of lightning emanates from the users hand from which they need only touch their target for it to take full effect.

After the electricity finds its mark, the target is blasted backwards 15 feet.

Izaneus can only use the spell 5 times before the power of the storm fades, and he needs to re-attune himself it's power. The lightning does not work against lightning elementals.

Essence Cost: 650

STAFF EDIT: For your Damage Rank 4 Effect, Finite only subtracts -200E from the total ability cost. So, this ability only costs 600E total. Other than that, approved.

Cast-iron Stomach

Ability Effects:
Adaptation: disease (50)
limited: only food-borne (-0)
Adaptation: Chemical or Toxic environments (50)
Limited: only food-based (-0)

Descriptor: While Chara's mother is an incredible cook and she has somewhat adapted to Cevanti life, Chara's life among monsters was problematic - she is used to eating Hamburgers made with glue and sequins, Steaks made entirely out of cardboard, or hot dogs made out of water sausages. let alone had to feed one. Thus, her own digestive system has adapted to a society in which a pack of instant noodles is the pinnacle of fine dining, letting her eat actual garbage with basically no negative effects. which she has also done. This does leave Chara immune to most gastronomical issues, including actual poison, though things that affect the blood, through breathing, or basically any other source still render her as helpless as the average human. It also makes her gross.

Name of Ability?
Determination

Ability Effects:
Protection 3 (300)
Ongoing (+300)
-Limited: slowly reaches potential with damage (-150)
-weakness: Never available when Emotionally compromised. (-75)
-Concentration (-150)

Descriptor: Chara's soul is that of determination, allowing her to impose on reality with nothing but sheer force of will. this determination frequently needs a kickstart, however, especially when her particular brand of determination tends not to wake up until forced...
As Chara gets more injured, this protection slowly goes into effect, causing damage to be lessened or simply not happen as things strike her. It often appears inexplicable, as though an energy blast simply winks out, or as if damage that was there one second disappears in another, as though it didn't happen.

This ability can be a pain to actually use, however. As stated, it takes significant damage already inflicted on Chara for this ability to go into effect, as well as a reasonable amount of focus and willpower on not taking damage. This requires Chara to be mentally on-tempo as well - if she's driven by rage, entirely too complacent, depressed, or just generally distracted, this ability won't work even if Chara actively tries to access it.

Essence Cost: 225

Upgraded Ambition Severers

Ability Effects:
Ability Effects:
Damage 4 (400)
Ranged (+200)
Affects Multiple 1(+200)

Descriptor: Descriptor: Chara summons a row of red magical knives behind her back that accelerate towards a target at high speeds, blanketing an area with a shower of blades made of crimson magic. these bursts of magic cannot be picked up and quickly fade once they've struck their target, but cut sharper than any ordinary knife would. Chara used to be restricted to not moving while summoning these blades, but as time has gone on and certain traumatic situations have occurred, she's learned to fire on the go.

Name of Ability?
Beastly Scent

Ability Effects:
Debuff Rank 5 (500E)
—Ongoing (Specialized, +0E)
—Affects Multiple I (+250E)
—Indiscriminate (-250E)
—Limited (Only works against organic beings, -250E)
Total Cost: 250E

Descriptor: "The reek of blood. That intolerable scent. It sickens me."

A foul stench of beasts and blood seems to cling to Gascoigne, evoking an instinctive sense of revulsion and fear in others. In addition to his immense stature and general air of "don't fuck with me," this hunter is regarded with a cold fear by allies and foes alike, usually within a 10ft radius. One noted benefit is that this effect makes enemies less willing to engage him directly, encouraging them to cower away or ‘freeze up’ when coming into contact with him. This effect only seems to impair the perception of organic beings, not robotic, artificial or spectral/intangible targets.

Descriptor: Snake-like shadow energies burst from the ground below the target, aiming to wrap into the victim's feet. If successful, the target is temporarily held to the ground until he/she could shake off the coil.

Essence Cost: 1200

STAFF EDIT: Indirect is actually 100E per rank of Effect, so the total cost of this ability would be 1500E. Please resubmit if you want to make adjustments to this ability.
