:[ POWERS ]: ~ Ancient Elemental Pae'il

[Guardian_Iris]

__________________________ Pae'il are creatures born of magic, so it's in their nature to be able to harness that magic within them.

In the past, Pae'il believed that their powers were a gift from the Guardians. Special scrolls were once delivered blessing the pae'il with their unique abilities, then not too long ago, powers were given via potions brewed by Telrunya's postion master, Kalandandra. Most recently, powers were obtained via relics, items or rituals, depending on the power that those the Pae'il.

__________________________ The truth has been uncovered. The power has always been inside each Pae'il, just waiting for the trigger to unleash it.

Ancient Elemental Pae'il

_____Ancient Elemental Pae'il are those born of the five primordial elements: Water, Earth, Void, Air and Fire. Their very essence embodies the element which gave them life. Naiad are aquatic, Faun are connected to trees and nature.

The same elements that gave them life, also give them powers.

Role-play Notes:

• Elemental Pae'il get their powers from their corresponding elements.
  
• The element is the source of energy which means Naiads are most powerful when in the water, and Faun are most powerful when among nature.
  
• The longer they are disconnected from their element, the less energy they will have for using their magic. Prolonged absence will also start affecting their physical strength and health. Naiads are particularly sensitive to this, as they should not allow themselves to dry-out.
  
• Taint acts as a blocker, effectively creating a barrier to an Elemental Pae's energy source and power. Prolonged exposure will eventually block all powers and energy completely, creating irreversible side-effects. (Elementals only-because they are weaker to Taint than other Pae)
  
• All Elemental Pae from this point forward must stick to their element when choosing a power (if it's not mental or physical). Previous Elemental Pae'il can keep their powers if they are related to another element, but only if it was previously approved.

Racial Abilities:

• Child:
  • Elemental Shield - the element depends on the breed (Naiad=water,etc) and it will provide minor protection.
• Teenager:
  • Elemental Shield - stronger, disperses with one hit from opponent. Replaces Child's Elemental Shield.
    
  • Elemental Bolt - small, concentrated mass of element that can be thrown at an opponent for mild damage if it lands. CANNOT KILL.
• Adult:
  • Elemental Shield - stronger still, able to absorb up to 3 hits from an oponent (physical or magic). Replaces Teenager's Shadow Shield
    
  • Elemental Bomb - concentrated mass of element that will explode upon impact, effecting anything within 10 yards. CANNOT KILL but each element will affect differently. (fire=lingering burn, water=drench, can in turn be frozen, air=shockwave, void=stun, earth=rock shrapnel)
    
  • Elemental Boost - When in their native element, they will have greater maneuverability, they will be resistant to their native element (fire cannot hurt fire). [cost=none, this is a natural boost Ancients get when they become adults]
• Hallowed Adult:
  • All Adult spells, with no change
    
  • Elemental Heal - When in their native element, there is no energy cost, and they will be naturally healed, slowly. It is in the best interest of opponents to not battle an elemental pae'il on their home turf.
• Luminary:
  • Powers will depend on successful completion of the Quest. All prior powers are kept.

Second Generation Ancient Elemental Pae'il Powers

Due to the nature of the primordial elements, second generation elemental Pae'il will inherit modified and/or mixed versions of their parents powers. If two different element Pae'il breed, the elements can combine to create secondary elemental powers. For example, Water+Earth will create minerals. Water+Air will create ice or mist. Have to experiment to find out more.

_____The elements influence the Light's powers.

When an elemental Pae breeds with a Blood Pae (Angel or Demon) it is up to the player to choose a mix of the parent's powers Or select a new via the Light Faction method.
Special elemental considerations:

• Angel + Naiad = prisms (or illumination), life
  
• Angel + Faun = moon, gems
  
• Demon + Naiad = fear, blind
  
• Demon + Faun = gravity, bone

_____Faerie magic enhances the elements.

If an elemental Pae breeds with a Faerie, the Faerie's magic will enhance the elemental power, giving the offspring two elemental-based powers: one similar to each parent.

All next-generation Pae'il with at least one Elemental Pae'il parent have to choose either the Light or the Elemental faction if they want a power. Once chosen, they cannot go to the other side without being labeled a traitor, and getting stripped of their power, title and position (if any) by their former faction leader.

:[ Code ]:

Post this code, and include any other items required per individual element.

Code for Next Generation Elemental Pae'il ONLY (all other gens except First):

Second Generation Pae'il do not need to roll, becuase their power is a combination of their Parents. For a category, it must be one of the parents' categories.

Water Powers Process

_________Elemental Pae'il powers are chosen for them by the elemental spirits that guide their lives. Rituals are conducted to prepare the Pae'il, and ask the spirit for a special blessing. It's a community event when an Elemental Pae'il is chosen for their power.

:[ Water ]:

Teenage Naiads can make an offering to the Water Spirit for their power. They must search the lakebed for a special pearl (this will vary per Naiad, and they will know when they've found their special pearl) and inscribe their name on it. Once inscribed, the pearl must be given over to the Water Spirit, by pushing it into the giant water globe in the Queen's courtroom.

The water globe swirls with magical energy inside as it protects the Water Element. It is unknown what the protective globe itself is made of, as it is solid, yet pliable. It takes a great deal of dedication, heart and genuine desire to push the pearl through the protective substance into the magical waters without breaking either.

Once the spirits accept the offering, the pearl will transform into a special water quintessence. The quintessence will have a visible form in the shape of a small, blue, translucent, glowing fish. Only the Queen has the power to remove these from the globe. When she notices the quintessence in the magical waters, she'll coax it out and into a ritual cup.

Once the quintessence has been secured, a temple prep team will arrange the ceremony. The Queen's Court will induct the Naiad into the Elemental Faction, and provide details as to their chain of command, teachers and duties among the Naiad society.

:[ Hallowed ]:

When a Naiad has become Hallowed, they are powered up. What this means is they have grown stronger as a Pae'il, and stronger in their powers, and the Element opens a new path for them to chose an additional power. The chart above shows the available paths per category.

_________Elemental Pae'il powers are chosen for them by the elemental spirits that guide their lives. Rituals are conducted to prepare the Pae'il, and ask the spirit for a special blessing. It's a community event when an Elemental Pae'il is chosen for their power.

:[ Earth ]:

Teenage Fauns can make an offering to the Earth Spirit for their power. They must search the ground for a fallen branch of Laisidhiel, (or the tree of their clan) and carve their name in to it. The branch must be sacrificed on the ceremonial fire pit, and the ashes recovered. Earthmother, Vanya or Rais will sprinkle the ashes in the pool of Laisidhiel’s dew. The ashes will slowly start to come together to create Earth quintessence, and become a light green, translucent seed shape within the dew. Once formed, Rais will collect the quintessence in a ceremonial wooden bowl handcrafted by Takis, the Tree Shaper, and the ritual will be scheduled to include the Faun community.

The Inner Circle will be present for the ritual, in order to facilitate and induct the Faun into the fold, providing the necessary guidance and information required to become a Defender of Laisidhiel, Faun and the Earth element.

:[ Special Fauny-only Abilities ]:

Faunies were born in a strange land, connected to a foreign magical source. Because of this, First Generation Faunies have different abilities based on their "type". This special racial ability is a power in addition to an Earth-based power they may receive should they join Rais and the Faun in the Elemental Faction.
• Earth Fauny - Green Thumb: They can grow anything. They don't have to be farmers, but if they choose to be, they won't fail at it. They can grow even difficult-to-grow vegetation
  
• Unicorn Fauny - Levitate: they can use magic in their horn to levitate small items less than, or equal to HALF their body weight.
  
• Pegasus Fauny - Cloud Control: They can push small clouds around, effectively altering the weather in very small areas.

Weaknesses, Costs, and Sources

______________ "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" - Isaac Newton

______________ "You can't create something out of nothing. Magic must have not only a source, but a cost."

On Telrunya, there are multiple sources for magic, powers and abilities.
Most Pae'il (Angels and Demons) will get their power from Aika. This can be separated into Ai (Light) and Ka (Dark) magics, which balances the magic.

Before Aika, there were the raw, primeval elemental magics of Telrunya. They include water, earth, air, fire, and void(aether). Each represents a power source for the Pae that were created from their respective elements. (e.g. Naiad from water)

True Magic - this is the power The Creator used, and is actually the product of combining all the raw elements. This power is represented by a pale blue, almost white glow.
The Guardians have tapped in to this power and were able to manipulate it as a result of their ascendence to Guardian status. The new power was called Aika. It has a golden glow.
Dark Power - also known as Taint this power source has nothing to do with The Creator, the Guardians, or the Ancients. It seeps out from the Volcano, and Strafe has found a way to harness and use this power to control Pae'il and bring them to the dark side. Dark Power has a purple glow.
Elemental Power - Water, earth, air and fire are self explanatory. Void is the essence of life and death, mind and body. It can be said Void is key to Magic, bringing the supernatural to the natural elements. Water has a sea-green glow, earth is green, air is cyan, fire is orange, and void is black.

Every ability, power and special skill requires a cost, weakness and a source.
Cost - this is what is given up, in order to perform the ability. Most common, the cost will be Aika for regular pae, and Elemental energy for ancients. It takes effort, stamina and energy to focus and direct magic. Even with magic, you can't make something from nothing. Some abilities will require a sacrifice or an item.
AIKA & ENERGY ARE NOT UNLIMITED! Simple things might not cost as much energy as bigger things.
Weakness - There always has to be a drawback to an ability. You can't shoot random fireballs without them hitting something. Healers and Restorers are the ONLY Pae'il allowed to use "energy cost" as their weakness.
A general rule of thumb for weaknesses is to keep this quote in mind: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".
Source - This should be easy to decide. It's either Aika or Elemental Energy.


**Cost is subjective, depending on the ability. Some abilities can't be "turned on" so they will obviously not have a cost.
