Magic Powers: 6/13
Name: Finger Guns
Rank: D
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: n/a
Description: Much like how village Children like to pretend to be characters from stage plays that Depict the way of life rumored to exist in so called "Western Nations," close your hand with exception to your pointer finger and thumb. This is a necessary form of Catalyst, required in order to use this power. This power launches either cylinder or ball shaped projectiles made of Metal from your fingertip. This power will deal a standard amount of damage equal to that of a common Firearm, unless you strike a weak point in which case damage is fatal. While this power works best with an empty hand. It is possible to use as long as you can hold out your pointer finger towards your target (will cost slightly more mana, and accuracy may suffer slightly)
Name: Metal Lance
Rank: C
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: Finger Guns
Description: Rather than releasing a small bullet-sized projectile with the release of a finger shot, the user creates a palm-sized sphere of liquid metal within their enclosed hand before projecting the sphere outwards into a huge railroad spike of forged steel towards the target within a range of sixty feet. This spike travels at nearly eighty miles per hour and pierces through up to D-rank armor when struck. The spike deals heavy damage and may be dulled to stun the opponent rather than wound (or potentially kill) them, should the user wish to do so.
Name: Metal Vulcan
Rank: B
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: Metal Lance
Description: Metal Vulcan is an advanced adaptation of the Finger Guns magic power however utilizing all five fingers rather than projecting ammunition from one single pointed finger shaped as a gun. The user releases a single metal cylinder or sphere from each finger in rapid succession, able to shoot ten projectiles each finger per post. This is a necessary form of Catalyst, required in order to use this power. Each projectile shot deals a standard amount of damage equal to that of a common Firearm, unless you strike a weak point in which case damage will be doubled.
Name: Metal Emperor
Rank: A
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: n/a
Description: The user invokes the concept of steel within their body and without, immersing themselves within several layers of armored steel almost as if the user were a statue crafted of castle-forged steel however they are not thwarted by the steel, with movement and actions as if without the hardened steel capsulating their body. The shell functions as armor of it's rank and is able to deter all C-rank magic powers while halting two B-rank magic powers or one A-rank magic power before the power is dispelled and armor is shattered.
Name: Metallic Avalanche
Rank: S
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: Metal Vulcan, Metal Emperor
Description: The user gathers liquid steel into a huge orb within the reach of both hands, then discharges the liquid steel into a crashing wave towards the target fifteen feet high by twenty feet wide. This wave may travel for as far as thirty feet before it smashes down upon the target in the form of many steel blades and implements of death. This more often than not ends with the death of the target, however should the target somehow survive the initial attack, the liquid metal will surround and harden, encasing them in a nigh-unbreakable coffin of steel.
Name: Metal Vessel
Rank: User
Affinity: Metal
Requirements: n/a
Description: The user gathers liquid steel into the grip of their hand, then projects it out from their hand in the form of a weapon before flash-hardening the steel into a temporary weapon of the same rank as the spell, of any variety of weapon the user wishes without needing application. Due to the techniques used in this power, weapons created this way will not last forever and cannot be carried out of the thread they were created within. This has a duration of four posts at E-rank and increases by two posts per rank thereafter (duration 12 posts).
