Familiar
[attr="class","scroll"]
[attr="class","item"]
a quiet soul for a creature so large, luci has no particular love for attention save for that of saskia's; she is almost constantly at the girl's side, painfully stubborn in her protectiveness. her mere presence seems enough to dwarf saskia, but for those who have the fortune of familiarity with the pair, they may find her even comforting. saskia most certainly does.[break][break]
the bear is roughly average-sized within her species, her pale coat bearing some strange quality about it that makes it glitter in the sunlight. 'the stars during the day,' as saskia would put it. for all the aggression one would associate with bears, luci makes a point of at least appearing to be docile, soft-spoken when approached, if she deigns to speak at all. her eyes glitter when strangers move too close to saskia -- beware, beware.[break][break]
luci's constant criticism is well-intentioned; saskia's optimism paints a sunny picture next to luci's own realism, but the familiar's claws are blunted when it comes to her own witch. one would think them guilty of indolence, passivity, or the like, with their love for puzzles and old books. don't tell luci; there is a bond between them forged strongly through early hardships; they are guided by stars, by brightness, and only brightness can undo or save them.

Elemental skills can be earned all the same ways that an elemental technique can be earned, but there aren't many of them, so it's quite rare to have one!
Light Techniques
[attr="class","item"]
Threads of Light
TECHNIQUE - LIGHT
this technique allows the user to 'stitch up' wounds using threads of light, most commonly and effectively used on lacerations. the witch should practice this technique until they possess a steady hand in sewing. the bright threads last best if there is light to maintain them - in the presence of darkness, they will begin to dissipate and fade - though the strength of the caster should be taken into account. in addition, this type of repair is only temporary and best used as a means of stopping blood flow without much care to actual healing.
[attr="class","item"]
Gates of Heaven
TECHNIQUE - LIGHT
this technique allows the user to summon a shower of light beams from the heavens, dispelling shadows and doing damage where they hit. the range, scope, intensity, and effectiveness of this technique depends on the skill and experience of the witch using it - a fledgling witch may only be able to summon a few weak beams of light that mildly singe and cut the target, while a master could 'open up the heavens' themselves with blinding light that leaves devastation in its wake.
[attr="class","item"]
Single Shot
TECHNIQUE - LIGHT
a simple thin beam of light is shot when his technique is used. it may be used to cut at an object or explode into a cluster of light, as according to the witch’s need.
[attr="class","item"]
Light Dragon Bullet
TECHNIQUE - LIGHT
a brilliant dragon is created from light and subsequently launched at a target at high speeds. the size of the dragon and the speed at which it travels is determined by a user's experience and rank. skilled practitioners will be able to control the movement of the dragon even after it has been launched. this technique is much less effective when light is dim, but when used in bright sunlight, it can glow brilliantly enough that it borders on blinding.

General Scrolls
[attr="class","item"]
SCROLL OF THE SWITCH
SCROLL - GENERAL
a very simple scroll that almost every witch possesses the knowledge of. its knowledge allows the witch and the familiar to switch places with its master at any time or distance from each other. however, sudden switches can leave an inexperienced witch dizzy or disoriented.
[attr="class","item"]
Unjinxer
SCROLL - GENERAL
this scroll allows the witch to remove effects of extremely basic enchantments and most general scrolls. it’s useful to know, but is quite situational. it applies the knowledge of both enchantment and purification in a more generalized manner but it can be assumed that beginners without either affinity may find it difficult to learn.
Augmentation Scrolls
[attr="class","item"]
THE BOON AND BANE OF AUGMENTATION
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION
a convoluted spell that allows augmentors to reverse enhance an object or attribute, thus retarding the strength or durability of a person or object. reverse augments are dangerous however, to both the practitioner and their subjects and can go haywire under some rather experienced witches as well.
[attr="class","item"]
AUGETE: AETHER
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION
one of the few surviving scrolls that were retrieved from the ruins of the coven that founded augmentation, this scroll dabbles in augmenting the regenerative ability of a person or creature. by casting this augment on a person, the natural regenerative ability they possess is enhanced to fasten the healing and clotting process. at the hands of a beginner, only minor wounds and bruises are healed, while more experienced witches can heal massive lacerations and reduce blood loss. only masters of this scroll can cast augments that can heal multiple, life-threatening wounds at a time.
[attr="class","item"]
AUGETE: CLAUSTRA
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION
one of the few surviving scrolls that were retrieved from the ruins of the coven that founded augmentation, this scroll dabbles in reinforcing and barricading items or living beings. a practitioner can learn how to reinforce armor or themselves, thus increasing their pain threshold or reducing the frequency and extent of injuries inflicted upon them. as such, this technique is sometimes considered a healing technique of sorts which deals with precaution rather than cure. masters of the art can fortify themselves by several fold and make themselves impenetrable to attacks for short bursts of time.
[attr="class","item"]
AUGMENTATION FOR DUMMIES: SPEED
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION SYN Can synthesize as PERMANENT (ANY AFF) items
part of arkhanka themisis' 'witchcraft for dummies' series, this scroll caters to the basics of augmentation - the ability to manipulate the attribute of speed. upon being cast on another witch, or themselves, the subject will find their speed increasing several fold. while this boost isn't much for beginners, more experienced witches can cast augments that will increase their speed by thrice their actual ability.
[attr="class","item"]
THANE’S GRIMOIRE: ELEMENTAL SUPPLEMENTATION (LIGHT)
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION
thane dedicates a section of his grimoire to enhancing the potency of the elements. despite having a general common method, since different properties are enhanced for different elements (thickness and strength of darkness, heat and intensity of fire, intensity of light, etc), he went on to make different scrolls for each element. this one helps the augmenter enhance the element of light.
[attr="class","item"]
AUGETE: CRESCO
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION
one of the few surviving scrolls that were retrieved from the ruins of the coven that founded augmentation, this scroll dabbles in increasing the rate of growth of organic matter. it was created to originally quickly ripen ingredients for alchemy and this version of the scroll mainly deals with ripening herbs, force-growing trees or others.
[attr="class","item"]
THANE’S GRIMOIRE, THEORY C: FLUIDITY OF BODY
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION SYN Can synthesize as PERMANENT (ANY AFF) items
this scroll is applied throughout the body of any living creature, and grants it hyper flexibility. a beginner might be unable to accomplish more than intense gymnastics but a master would be able to achieve inhuman results.
[attr="class","item"]
WEAPON AUGMENTATION: KEEN EDGE
SCROLL - AUGMENTATION SYN Can synthesize as REUSABLE items
this spell augments the sharpness and durability of a blade to help it cut cleanly through stubborn materials. it can be cast in the heat of battle and maintained via continuous mana drain, or via a fairly long ritual to enhance a particular weapon permanently. the hardness of the material which the blade is able to cut depends on the strength of the witch which cast the augment.
[attr="class","item"]
SENSORY AUGMENT: VISION
Scroll - Augmentation SYN Can synthesize as PERMANENT (ANY AFF) items
A scroll which improves someone's sense of sight, whether it be through expanding their visible & tolerable range of colors or light intensity, or the image's crispness over long distances. The caster may decide which attributes to enhance at their own discretion.
Summoning Scrolls
[attr="class","item"]
MATERIAL SUMMONING: THE MERCIFUL SWORD
SCROLL - SUMMONING
this scroll allows the caster to summon a blade known as ‘the merciful sword’ - named as such for its ability to turn a killing blow into one that merely temporarily paralyses the opponent. the merciful sword is unable to directly kill, but any blows that would not be immediately lethal still function as normal most of the time - meaning that an opponent can still die from overall wounds or blood loss from cuts inflicted by the blade. a master of this sword, however, can channel mana through the sword such that its ‘mercy’ is increased - ‘wounds’ may simply paralyse the area afflicted. ‘merciful’ blows leave behind no wound, but are marked by a silver-white mark where the sword struck. a spell used popularly for training and sparring.
[attr="class","item"]
MATERIAL SUMMONING: ARMOR
SCROLL - SUMMONING
this scroll allows the caster to summon any wearable armor they can visualise - the more the summoner is familiar with the armor (not simply appearance, but also of balance, weight, material, etc), the more effective the summoning will be. this scroll is harder than it may seem due to the fact that summoners need to know how the armor works before they are able to summon it. many summoners circumvent this requirement by summoning single pieces of armor - such as a chestplate, or a chainmail shirt. fledgling summoners tend to find their armor is of low quality, and may break or vanish upon being hit. masters of this scroll can maintain and reinforce their armor with mana so that they can repair themselves after being damaged.
[attr="class","item"]
THE BLACKSMITH’S BOW
SCROLL - SUMMONING
a scroll that enables the caster to summon a bow -- upon holding a hand out, an arrow, too, will materialize. the more inexperienced, the longer the weapons take to materialize and the more rigid or brittle they are. an expert summoner can fiddle with the bow’s inner machinations and the properties of the arrow -- but this requires both power and smithy knowledge.
[attr="class","item"]
SUMMONER’S SCROLLBOOK: HETEROCAST
Scroll - Summoning
This scroll enables the witch to create small terrestrial animals like snakes, rodents, rabbits, turtles, dogs, cats, etc out of thin air. The summons can fulfill minor directives and are capable of all the things their animals would be able to do, and are mostly under the witch’s control.

WITCH LICENSE
PERMIT - BASIC LICENSE
Your official, government approved permit that allows you to practice magic under a coven. Be careful not to get it lost or stolen.
[attr="class","item"]
INFINITE HOURGLASS
COVEN CREST - SILVERTONGUE FLEDGELING (UNUSED)
a magically enchanted, never-ending hourglass that fits in your palm. this object was given upon being accepted into silvertongue. though it seems like a simple keepsake, this item will serve as your character’s lifeline in the face of imminent peril. when the bearer’s mana reaches critical levels, all items made similarly will begin to glow as a mass signal is sent to witches of your coven, allowing them to come to your aid should anything happen. may be used once to escape death.
Reusable Items
[attr="class","item"]
SPELLDRINKER
REUSABLE ITEM - WEAPON
the blade of this shashka is especially conductive of enhancement and augment types of spells. when a temporary augment is cast on this sword, it takes a negligible amount of mana to maintain. furthermore, if it strikes a witch (or other organic creature) it will drain a fraction of their mana and temporarily transfer one buff (whether it be a temporary spell or a permanent) on the creature to its wielder. likewise, if an inorganic object is struck by this blade, one buff is temporarily transferred from the object to the sword itself. multiple strikes allows for multiple buffs to be transferred in this way.
Limited Use Items
[attr="class","item"]
THE CLOCKWORK LOTUS: YATAGARASU
LIMITED USE ITEM - NOVICE - 1 USE
a blueprint of a mechanical crow with prospects of being attached to an atheneum interface for live video casting. it also has razor sharp talons. the more skilled the crafter, the more fluid its movement will be and the better it will be for purposes of espionage and offense alike.
[attr="class","item"]
MERLO’S MISCELLANY #4: FERAL
LIMITED USE ITEM - NOVICE - 1 USE
a liquid of indeterminate colour -- it seems to change at every angle. when ingested, there is likely a brief period of pain, but allows the witch’s canines to sharpen considerably, and their hands to turn to feline-like claws. for inexperienced users, this is likely more disorientating than anything else, but advanced alchemists have been known to use it to get out of a tight situation.
[attr="class","item"]
SUMMONING SPIRITS: LIGHT SPRITE
LIMITED USE ITEM - ACOLYTE - 1 USE
Enclosed in the envelope is a summoning crystal that looks like it's made of crystallised light. Light sprites are perhaps the most attention-grabbing - and the most social - of sprites; they are playful and humorous and enjoy playing with other sentients, their summoner in particular. Being flashy and swift and bright, light sprites love playing distraction or helping to explore by lighting the way.
[attr="class","item"]
UMBRELLA RIBBON
LIMITED USE ITEM - NOVICE - 1 USE
repel and elemental threads have their place, but how can they be made more effective? the umbrella ribbon was one result of this line of thought. combining water elemental thread and repel thread, the weaver creates a ribbon that prevents whatever it is tied into from becoming damp or wet. useful for hair that gets destroyed by humidity!
[attr="class","item"]
RING OF BEAST WARDING
LIMITED USE ITEM - 3 USES
this ring is embedded with three gemstones, all emerald-green. when the spell contained in each of these gems is expelled, the color is lost, causing it to become as clear as glass. when this occurs, the wearer of the trinket will begin to ward away all nearby creatures and animals from them, especially if the creature is not consciously aware of the wearer's presence. wraiths, as well as creatures in a heightened emotional state (rage, terror, etc.) may not be affected by this item.

THREE STRIKES
PROGRESSION QUEST
this story starts quietly, with a fragile creature of sunflowers and sunshine, tracing light-drawn roses on her bedroom walls. she is quiet and subdued and hesitant, until she is not. it runs electric through her blood -- her brother holds infernos at his fingertips and forest fires in his eyes; the burovskis are born with hearts too large to be contained and tasting freedom in the ashen air, so she tells herself: i must get stronger.
