Magician

An individual born with the gift of magic, passed down through an ancestral bloodline, and adept at using this gift, is known as a Magician. Being born with magic does not necessarily mean that you are immediately skilled with harnessing its power. It requires dedication, practice, and sometimes guidance to fully master the magical abilities bestowed upon you.Only those who dedicate themselves to mastering this ability can unlock its full potential and achieve remarkable feats, walking the path of the Magician. To these devoted individuals, magic holds unrivaled significance. Their motto echoes confidently, "If a task exists, there's a spell waiting to tackle it." Some people might argue that Magicians exploit this extraordinary ability, utilizing it in mundane ways, like fetching their tea from a distance of about 6 meters or holding a book for a friend instead of using their hands. However, a Magician may counter that they are simply honing their skills. The validity of this claim continues to be a puzzle for many.

Magicians, being known for their cleverness and versatility, dedicate themselves to mastering a diverse array of spells to handle any challenge that comes their way. Apart from their extensive spell repertoire, they possess the ability to master an Elemental Art, enhancing their already impressive skill set and making them invaluable allies in any adventure. Magic is a Magician's primary resource, their greatest ally, their primary tool, the one thing they can always count on. They are not strangers to the mystic arts, and are able to recognize magic, in any capacity, almost instantly. For Magicians, magic flows through their veins, guiding their every move and sparking their creativity in ways others can only dream of. Each flick of their wrist sets the stage for wonder and awe, as they weave spells that dance between reality and imagination with effortless grace. The power they wield is not just a skill; it is a part of who they are, shaping their very existence and connecting them to a world full of endless possibilities. For many individuals who choose to walk this particular path, anything that does not involve magic tends to lose its appeal. "Those who are unaware of the wonders of magic are, quite frankly, missing out." Among the various abilities that a Magician possesses, one of the most highly prized is their aptitude for reaching into an interdimensional storage space that is unique to them.

During your Perform Phase, you may spend 1 Aura Counter, and open a small portal that is 1 meter in diameter. Living things cannot pass through this portal. You may hold this portal open for as long as you maintain Concentration, and are stationary. During this time, you are able to freely put things into and pull things out of this storage. An item that cannot fit into the portal cannot be stored. This storage can hold up to 1 bag space worth of inventory.

Magician Talents

Spell Casting

Upon creation, you may choose any single Tier one spell from the Magician Spell list for your character to know, in additional to the “Flare” spell. This will be the spell your character used the most while learning how to be a Magician. From this point forward, you will learn spells very often. This frequency allows you to more easily test and replace spells, assembling your idea list.
Magicians use Spatial Magic to cast their spells. The easiest way to recover this spell power is by reading from a Spatial Magic spell book. Magicians learn spells according to the chart below. Unlike other spell casting classes, whenever you learn a new spell, you must learn one of the indicated Tier; not a lesser Tier. If the chart below says that you learn a Tier 3 spell, you must choose a Tier 3 spell from the Magician spell list.

Flare: Tier one
Physical: Attack: 3sp
Range = 20m | Resistance Check = N/A
Duration: Instant | Casting Time = 1 Phase
Increased Tier = Yes / 3sp / per 120 Mag
Focus your magic into your hand or staff, and fire it as a projectile at a single target you can see within range. A target hit by this spell will suffer 1d6 spatial magic damage per 3sp used to cast this spell. You may use an additional 3sp to cast this spell for every 120 points you have in your Magic stat. The Tier of this spell cannot exceed Tier 5; however, there is no limit to the number of die that can be rolled when determining the damage for this spell.
