the day they meet the fox, they think her a god — the earth splits open like petals on a violet and the dawn fog is pierced by gleaming golden eyes. the creature balances lightly on the tops of rocks barely peeking out from beneath the still lake surface, its fur dark and shimmering with silver threads. it does not breathe. they do not breathe. their knuckles are red and skinned and their palms rubbed raw from the handle of a sword; there’s a warsong in their bones, a hunger bellowing deep in the marrow. then the fox whispers her name, and so it is sated.[break][break]

'xihe', as jiayi calls her now, is a fox of ashen colouring, her fur long and luxurious in varying shades of ink and silver. her eyes shine a luminous gold and her smile is bone-bright. most distinctive, however, is the intricate gold half-sun marking encircling her right eye. [break][break]

she stands taller than even a horse in her natural form, reaching approximately 9ft at her shoulder. under sundial’s size restrictions, however, xihe shrinks down to a more diminuitive 50cm at the shoulder, the size of an average red fox.[break][break]

strict and no-nonsense, she holds herself like royalty and is similar to her witch in many aspects, save for his dedication to honour: the fox is ruthless and opportunistic, hungry for any chance to further jiayi’s goals without care for the manner in which she executes his plan. she shares his unwavering love for the lin family, and would not hesitate to sacrifice herself to protect 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!

this technique traps targets into a self-repairing dome of earth. the range of the dome and the number of targets that can be trapped depend on the skill and experience of the witch. this dome can be broken out of with the application of sufficient force.

a hand composed of stone rises up from the earth, grabbing (or punching, should the situation call for it) at opponents. while fledgelings will only be able to create a single, human-sized hand, the size and quantity increases with experience and rank. novices and above can control the hands' motions with delicate precision.

Affinity 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!

a basic spell that creates a magical shield that deflects spell damage. its strength, size, and duration depends on the strength and skill of the caster, as well as the nature of the spells it is defending against. protego can be overcome by a barrage of spells, and/or spells cast by more powerful witches - it is also weaker against physical damage as opposed to mana-based attacks.

this jinx induces coughing in its victim. be careful, for the timing of this one could prove very dangerous.

This spell is a highly focused variant of the latter "Spatial Scrollbook" volumes. It essentially makes a wine cork sized plug which can stop up small openings. This allows the witch to plug up a target's sense of smell or hearing with mana, or to stop a leak in a barrel while something more physical is being found to repair it.

Once your character reaches novice rank, you can pick out a second affinity for them. Once it is listed in their inventory, they can buy affinity scrolls for it in the shop, and may earn affinity scrolls of the secondary affinity in missions and events.
