Skill	Description
Tier 0

Tier 1
Arcanist	You’ve taken the most natural next step as a magical being and deepened your understanding of aether. Even if you have no education in the field, you have an instinctive knowledge of how magic works.
	Energy Absorption: Narratively you can slowly seep power out of any energy source or living creature. You can do this to restore your reserves and slowly drain or even kill targets. It’s not meant to be used in battle, but you could use it as a defensive mechanism, albeit a very inefficient one. Cost: low/med/med-high Damage: - Effect: On a target with no armor, can instead absorb one Med worth of reserves from them. Can be successfully used once per opponent per battle. Against ki or magical attacks, reduce damage taken by 50/100/250. Tags: - Cooldown: 5
	Enhanced Telekinesis: You can now expend aether to lift large objects and people. You can exert a crushing force on things within your grasp, allowing you to crumple cars or turn the weak into mush. Cost: low/med/med-high Damage: 35/65/150 Effect: Meditation vs Strength + 100, you may use one of an opponent’s weapons to attack. In this case, add the weapon damage bonus to this attack. Tags: Stat Check Cooldown: 5
	Premeditated Defenses: While ki users and other mages might throw up a physical barrier, you can protect yourself, others, and even entire areas using rituals and incantations. An example of this would be walking into a battle with a magical shield already applied to your body. Cost: low/med/med-high/high Damage: - Effect: You may cast this for no action on your first post in a battle. Adds 40/80/200/400 to your armor. Can be cast as many times as you want. Tags: Premeditated Cooldown: -
Mystic	Arcanists take the practical route while you took the studious route. You’ve learned how magical glyphs work and can use this knowledge to do things that others cannot.
	Mystic Sense: You are innately aware of the magical abilities of those with less meditation than you and can even guesstimate the stat distribution of these individuals. You can also tell if there are any magical effects around you (with exceptions). Likewise you can conceal your mystic might from others with less meditation.
	Scrying: You can form a connection with people for a constant passive drain on your reserves. Until this connection is severed you get a general feel for where these people are and can get glimpses into their life.
	Magical Artifacts: These artifacts are a class of item that allow you to cast predetermined spells. The difference from other crafted items is that these can have complexity to them that others cannot. A scroll that shoots a fireball is simple, whereas one that can be activated by thought is not, for example.
Otherworldly Connection	You’ve somehow made a connection to an otherworldly force or place, or perhaps you were just born this way. You know these strange powers are not natural in the slightest.
	Emotional Reading: You can get a cursory feeling of the emotions of those around you. For a cost you can get an idea of what kinds of things trigger certain emotions.

	Demonic Realm Connection: You have a permanent connection to the demon realm. You can tell what’s going on there as if you’re listening to a radio broadcast of local events. You can also send messages in this way. This can be tuned out. Cost: low Damage: - Effect: Sends a message to anyone in the demon realm with this ability. Tags: - Cooldown: -
Tier 2
Biomancy	You have worked hard just to accomplish what some namekians are born able to do. Still, you have managed to tap into life itself and can command plants and animals around you.
	Healing: mid tier healing ability. Cost: med/med-high/high Damage: - Effect: Restores 150/300/600/800 health to self or 200/400/700/900 to someone else. Usable once per person. Tags: - Cooldown: 5
	Race Changes: if someone wants to change their race, they need your services. You can even try hybridizing some races, but the effects are usually short lived.
	Plant Control: You can bind to, create, and control plants kind of like a druid can. There are some wacky plants out there in the universe that can be developed and used. Cost: med Damage: 80 Effect: Reduces dodge chances by 10% for 2 rounds. Tags: Entangle Cooldown: 2
	Animal Control: You can control animals around you to do your bidding, or to leave you alone. Cost: med/med-high/high Damage: 45/95/245 Effect: Causes animal(s) to attack a target. Unusable on desolate planets. Tags: - Cooldown: 5

Elemancy	You’ve learned how to use your aether to become one with the world around you. This is the most flexible type of magic there is due to its nearly limitless possibilities.
	Elemental Manifestation: You can create fire, air, water and earth in exchange for your energy reserves. This is often used in conjunction with elemental control if a certain element isn’t nearby. You can create elements anywhere you can see, allowing you to set people ablaze, etc. Cost: Med Damage: - Effect: Creates a bountiful supply of elements to be used with other spells. Tags: Actionless Cooldown: -
	Elemental Attack: You can manipulate fire, air, water and earth.

Namekian Heritage	You were born lean mean and green. Your heritage affords you two paths in life, and you’ve happened to be the one that isn’t so great at fighting.

	Unlock Potential: You are able to unlock the potential of others by lifting limiters within their own mind. This requires a roleplay thread and only lasts a season and cannot be performed mid battle. Still, it is a significant buff.
	Dragonball Sense: You have an innate sense for where each and every dragonball is located. This ability alone has caused many of your kind to be kidnapped.
Demon Magic	Technically, most every otherworldly being originates from the demon realm, but only a subset of that magic is actually referred to as ‘demonic.’ This is the kind of magic that is feared by mortals and makes you a target for those who wish to smite you.
	Hellfire: You can manifest and control flames from hell itself. It’s a very brutish and inflexible type of magic, but it’s better than nothing and it’s often the main offensive attack for most demons. Cost: low/med Damage: 50/100 Effect: - Tags: - Cooldown: -
	Petrification: You can turn the weak willed to stone, at least temporarily. Cost: med high Damage: 50/100 Effect: Meditation vs Toughness + 200. If successful, petrify the target. Tags: Stat Check, Petrify Cooldown: Thread

Tier 3
Paragon	You have likely spent years training among the elements, preferring the company of mud and lightning more than other people.
	Mixed Elements: You can now mix the base elements together to make things such as ice and lightning. Each mixed element has their own properties.
	Elemental Conversion: You can now convert base elements into other base elements. You could turn a lake into a basin of fire, or convert metal into air. Attacking you with conventional weaponry is kind of a moot point.
	Elemental Immunity: Metal doesn’t scratch your skin and you do not burn. You cannot drown and you find your lungs incapable of being deprived oxygen. You are still quite vulnerable to blunt trauma and ki, but elemental and weapon based attacks are generally useless against you.
Chronomancy	A natural step up from manipulating gravity. You’ve found that time is something that can be played with as well. Few of you ever seem to exist at any given time, probably because you have a good chance of getting lost in an alternate reality.
	Time acceleration / Deceleration: You can speed or slow time in a bubble. Attacking through the bounds of the bubble doesn’t really do anything because the time distortion messes with reality. That being said, there’s a lot you can accomplish.
	Pocket Dimension: You can tear open a hole in reality into your own little pocket dimension. It’s small, just the size of a room, but it grows the more powerful you are as a mage. Your time manipulation powers are much more potent in your own dimension, allowing you to rest up mid fight if you need to.
	Reality Warping: You can warp reality to some degree but the effects are always random and usually purely cosmetic.
Namekian Sage	You’re probably ancient or incredibly gifted. With any luck you’ve been able to hide your gifts from the wrong sort of people who would hunt you down.
	Dragonballs: You have the ability to craft your own dragonballs. They’re weak, but they allow you to narratively uses dragon wishes once per season to achieve small scale objectives.
	Limited Free Travel: Your connection to Namek and the Demon Realm allows you to travel to either and back instantaneously as often as you like.
	Revive: You can bring people back to life
	Formation of bodyguards: An elite squadron of namekians serve to protect you at all times.
Tier 4
Soulmancy	A godlike state of being. You give up all ties to organizations and alliances to be a being truly awakened by magic. You are not technically immortal, but you rarely participate in conflict anyways, and you’ll probably never die of natural causes.
	Race Hybridization: You can make your own races now and even change the races of entire areas, with mod approval.
	Sever: You can effectively cut away Skills from yourself and others. This can be either temporary, like in a fight, or permanent with consent. Permanent severance effectively turns you into a reset mechanic, because people could come to you to redo their build.
Demon Lord	Hades, the Devil, there are many names for your kind. There’s usually only one of you in the universe because you probably killed the last guy to take the crown.
	Control over demons: Your supreme authority is greater than a simple political position. You are able to compel any and all demons to follow your will. You cannot command them to do stupid things, like kill themselves, but goals like ‘we need to take over Earth’ will cause demons to swarm it.
	Formation of demonic soldiers: In case your control over every demon wasn’t enough, you have a personal army of demons that will listen to any command you give. Not because they have to, but because they want to.
