[/color][/b][/color]: // A girl, slightly short, standing straight as if with pride or determination. Her blue eyes shining, her long blond hair swaying wherever she goes. On the top of her hair she has bound two straps of long pigtails while letting overly much of the straps hang free, adding a great sense of girlishness over her image. Her clothing looks like just what you’d expect of a girly mage in a game or something. A short black skirt, combined with a red sleeveless regal-looking shirt (or whatever that is) with a long white collar with golden edges adding to her sense of shining. On her hands black gloves are positioned, as if to protect her hands from something. Black stocking from shoes cover her legs all the way up above her knees, leaving a nicely short absolute area before the skirt starts. On her sides two red pieces of cloth hang as if to defend her hips from looks. Her sleeveless arms are outfitted with thin white straps with no obvious purpose. On her shoulders, as well as on her forehead and on her left cheek is something truly remarkable, for what appears to be tattoos color her giving the otherwise straight and righteous posture a wild look. Her skin is so clear, it almost looks white and the currently passive expression on her face is serene, as if it has never been disturbed before. But don’t worry. She’ll smile before long…

[/color][/b][/color]: // “Tsk, what a troublesome little girl.”
“Wait, she wasn’t a doll?”
“I can’t believe that silent thing turned out to be a…”
“AAARRRGGHHH!!! SOMEONE, GET THIS STALKER OF ME!!!”

An entity standing by the side most of the time, on would believe she’s a submissive one that does nothing but follow orders. Almost like a colorful puppet, the little being stands on the side as if inactive. Is there a soul somewhere behind those blue eyes of hers, or is she really a doll? It is not possible to see it directly, until she’s allowed to interact. Then, however…

She’ll turn completely different. When something caught her interest, she hunts it constantly. Ellinda when allowed to speak freely can come up with hundreds of lines about information you’d normally never think of, because it interested her. Questions arrive, revealing an insatiable curiosity one needs to deal with. An honest smile and a truly childish determination to find information springs up. This happens when she’s away from what she considers boring, and she’s encountered something interesting. How else would she react then to hunt it? A clear determination to be free to hunt whatever she is interested in, it will not end.

If someone attempts to control this little cheeky girl while in that condition, they’ll be rejected. Showing a fiery character that otherwise is left unseen, she will do anything in her power to be let out of the grip of order. At times like that, it can appear as if she’s rejecting anything anyone says just for the sole purpose of rejecting. Also, she cannot attempt to believe something cannot be changed. How others view the world cannot be the end of it. That sort of thinking has led her into trouble in the past.

Also, as she’s been trained to be a magus this whole time, she is capable of not showing mercy. While she has never killed anyone before, she knows the true nature of many magi in the world, and there is no doubt in her mind about their true nature. As such, she is ready to defend herself. Having been fooled a multitude of times throughout her life, including by the very reason she was born, Ellinda is distrustful to the claim of others unless there is a good reason to trust them. A girl also loyal to her friends, she can be an eyesore for anyone wishing to give her orders because she might find something that is more interesting than the orders.

• Silent
  
  • There are few things that Ellinda thinks are worthy of more than the appropriate number of words. She has no reason to say anything else. Unless confronted, she needs not say more than she wants, if she wants to say anything at all. If someone finds themselves spoken to repeatedly by her, they are most likely subject to the next trait on the list.
  
  
• Curious
  
  • If the blond girl Ellinda sees something that interests her, then she’ll target it and never let it get away. She’ll ask questions, target weak spots and try out different things in order to satisfy her curiosity. Some people more than others are capable of attracting her attention. Also, she may do things others would not, merely to see what happened. Those repeatedly targeted by this trait will often get a taste of the next one…
  
  
• Mischievous
  
  • If this girl decides to try out something to see what happens, she’ll do it. Even if it is completely immoral or puts someone in a very awkward situation. The little smile that arises when she succeeds with something like that… is almost creepy. Also, making up stories for why she does things is always a favorite pastime. Think you can escape it? Well, you can always confront her about it and ask. After all, she’s…
  
  
• Honest
  
  • Few lies leave these lips. What others might not want to admit, Ellinda can confirm at once. Her nods do not change no matter how the situation looks. If you ask her a question, she’ll answer without properly wondering why she should not. That is simply the way she does things, and it will soon get her into trouble. Very soon.
  
  
• Stubborn
  
  • If she has decided on doing something, she’s not backing out. Whatever order you give her, the only things that can stop her is her own sense of danger. It is during these times her fiery temperament is as most visible, and one can hear her rejecting others on a increased rate just for the sake of rejecting. Really, she can be difficult to handle.
  
  

LIKES

[/color]: // Interesting people, interesting views, interesting situations, interesting foods, interesting things in general… and happy endings. Salt. Art.
DISLIKES[/color]: // Anything uninteresting. Family-disputes. Loss. Tragedy. The Wechseln-family. Being unable to pursue what interests her.
STRENGTHS[/color]: // She’s a magus. Trained mostly to fight if needed, Ellinda has been made sure to stay physically fit in case of danger. While not martially capable, Ellinda has an endurance to make sure she does not get tired when the situation is as most dangerous.
WEAKNESSES[/color]: // She’s a young girl, and her weaknesses are all those that comes with that. No matter how she’s trained, she won’t be as physically capable as some others. Also, she lacks experience in the actual field due to her age, and as such may be prone to being surprised or making bad decisions on the fly. Also, her curiosity can get the better of her, leading her to dangerous situations.
[/ul][/size][/blockquote]

MY FAMILY LINE

[/color]: // Ellinda was born a part of the Mitchell family, which is really too bad for her. The Mitchell family is a very young, but somewhat resourceful family. The family started rather recently when its founder managed to charm a magus into telling him about the dwindling circuits that had survived in his line for generations. Being taught by the magus to save the dwindling circuits, the man and the magus created an entirely new magi family over the cause of a few years and the man started working on his own Thaumaturgical Crest, developing it from nothing to give to the heir he created with his wife. The newly made head of the family, primarily a CEO for an oil-and-other-minerals mining company, immediately started investing in developing his magecraft abilities with the aid of the magus, who was actually merely having fun seeing if it would actually work to create a magi family like this. The magus told him all about the Mage’s Association and magecraft, and taught the man about the wonders for a time. The man had been made prepared to make his mark on the magic history.

However, despite all his success on the resource-part in the unmagical world, the man could never overcome the breach that kept him from becoming a true magus. As he had become interested in magecraft, his family passed more and more from being a company family to being a magecraft family. That, however, was not a progression that favored the family. They were far more successful as a large mining company pouring in lots of funds than they were as a very young magi family with no history or research. When coming to the Clock Tower to join, they were looked down on and laughed at first. Even today, the family has only existed in roughly 160 years bound to the Mage’s Association as it was founded in 1867, through four generations though the first one died early so it can really only count as three. While they have gained a name for themselves due to their involvement in the mining industry, they are more famous for that than anything else.

Because of their mining operations, the head thought it appropriate to impress others with his mining and oil power, so he tried to make magic out of it. A family with a clear earth – water element combination, the Mitchell family also possesses limited control of what could be called “oil-elemental” magecraft. Generation of the sticky flammable substance and control of it was long a dream. However, the young family would need a higher amount of circuits to perfect it.

The average Mitchell member holds 10 circuits and a 1.5 PrC, leading to a 15 maximum prana.

The family that Ellinda now carries the last name of is the Wechseln family. It is a much older family, stretching 900 years into the past and been in contact with the Mage’s Association and the Clock Tower the entire time. For the longest of time, their castles and bases has resided underground due to their die-hard trust to the Earth-element. Many have been trapped trying to infiltrate their bases, as traps are a true forte of theirs. Training themselves in the techniques of minerals and marrying through others of earth-element, this family has mastered what themselves consider “trap” magecraft. The Wechseln are members at the Mage’s Association, and they do visit from time to time and interact in business and such as any other family, because they could never have their children marry strong magical blood otherwise. Having such an old crest and still leading largely secluded lives, the pale members of the Wechseln are greedy and high-stung, often the worst of discriminators against other families and the proudest of their heritage. They are incurable.

The average Wechseln member holds 14 circuits with 22 PrC, leading to a 308 maximum prana.

MY HISTORY[/color]: // A day, sometime before the fifth war, the high and mighty Wechseln family desired to enter the Holy Grail War. They had been told of its existence by a contact among the lords of the Mage’s Association, and they were raring to go. They had the magi they needed, they had all the permission they could ever have wanted. However, in order to secure the victory, they needed a powerful hero. To get that, they needed a catalyst to summon said hero. However, being the underground hermits they were, the Wechseln family found themselves incapable of collecting any such…

However, the Mitchell family was not. In fact, the Mitchell family already had a catalyst, collected by one of their mining operations. Unfortunately, they didn’t know what the artifact was good for, so they merely hung it on display in their main mansion. The Wechseln heard about this, and came to the Mitchell family to collect the artifact. The oil businessman quite clearly recognized a business opportunity, and spared no time taking full advantage at the terms of an exchange. Noticing the advantage the Mitchell suddenly was on, the Wechseln decided to allow something drastic to get the very meaningful artifact.

The Mitchell family had some really impressive magecraft for a family that young. However, their magi were too weak to use anything serious. In fact, the Mitchell family didn’t even have the number of circuits to perform their own signature magecraft. If, on the other hand, they could get their hands on a person from an older family to marry their heir, that would spice things up a bit. The terms of the exchange was laid down. The Wechseln family gained a catalyst with which they could summon a hero with which they could win the war, and the Mitchell family received a non-heir daughter of the Wechseln family to boost their number of crests. If any of them broke the vow of secrecy they would be forced to give up what they had gained from the deal. That was the deal.

On the other hand, the very proud Wechseln family could hardly face the shame of marrying off their daughter to such a miscreant little family. As such, the deal took place behind locked doors, away from the view of outsiders. None should be allowed to know the Wechseln gave their daughter to those oil-crazy little punks. In fact, after the Wechseln had won the Holy Grail War they might as well take her back. They could hardly refuse the victorious ones, could they? And so, the family prepared for war while the heir of the Mitchell family received his beautiful pale wife…

But the Grail never chose the Wechseln family to enter. Because of the chock, the family became largely inactive for a while, even deciding to uphold the deal with the Mitchell family for a while. Time went on, and as things turned out in Fuyuki city the Wechseln family could conclude it might have been for the best they did not enter. Soon, the Mitchell heir had made his wife pregnant, and the Wechseln gave up on her.

The child, Ellinda Arianna Mitchell, was given birth. A little girl with the most magic circuits that the Mitchell family had ever produced, all thanks to the Wechseln mother. The girl grew up as virtually any magus heir would, being prepared to receive the crest from her actually pretty old father and continue bringing glory to the now empowered Mitchell family. Upon receiving the crest at a rather young age, Ellinda made her way to the Mage’s Association. It was a natural part of her life. All little magi go there sooner or later to prove themselves. And the little Mitchell… proved herself.

Since the operation with the Wechseln was kept secret, none knew what had transpired. The little Mitchell was far stronger than they would have expected her to, far surpassing the age of the actual family. Knowing nothing, the girl could simply feel good about herself as people stared in chock at her. Such mysteries often have answers, as some people in the Mage’s Association knew. So they went and did their research on the Mitchell family and the little girl. And when they did that, they uncovered what was never to be uncovered. It chocked them, because never could they have imagined that family to have agreed to such. The little girl’s mother was a daughter of a Wechseln.

This didn’t matter to the Wechseln. After all, they could simply deny the possibility, and as long as the Mitchell upheld the agreement of silence it would be no trouble. That, on the other hand, was not the thoughts of a certain Marcel Wechseln, a man in the family. Wishing ill towards the Mitchell family, he hired a professional to see a Mitchell in a bar. During a drunk roar, the Mitchell was made to boost loudly over the little Ellinda. And then… he said things he should not have said. After that, the truth was out, heard by several who reported it to their higher ups. Then, it was time to ask the Wechseln once again.

This time around, there was no faking it. The man of the Mitchell had boastfully publicized the truth. This was a clear breach against the contract that the Wechseln and the Mitchell had upheld for so long. They’d never have admitted this deal on their own, but now the shame of the deal was already overwhelming them. As the Mitchell’s had clearly gone against the rules of the contract, the Wechseln proceeded with doing what they knew would harm the Mitchell family the most for their crime. Since the artifact turned out to be useless, it only seemed fitting.

They called the daughter back. Since they did not hold up their part of the deal, it would only strike as fitting that they took her back. They had already been shamed with the truth anyway. With the contract void, the Wechseln family called for what they had claim of. That being their daughter, and anything that the Mitchell family had gained from their union. Of course, the greatest gain the family had received from the union… was the girl, Ellinda. The Mitchell family was forced to give up their two most valuable females, against the will of both individuals. As such, Ellinda’s last name was changed from Ellinda Mitchell to Ellinda Wechseln. The girl was 14 at the time.

At 14 years of age with crest and all, Ellinda was taken from a family where she was the best to where she was a disgrace to them all. Ellinda had been adopted forcefully, and neither part was happy with the arrangement. The girl had brought with her the Mitchell family crest, rendering the younger family devoid of their research. Since she was now supposed to be a Wechseln, she was put under tutelage of Marcel to learn the magecraft of the family the hard way, to show that she was now a Wechseln. That is what she’s been trained for the last three years. However, Ellinda was able to use the Mitchell magecraft as well. She held the possession of her skill and crest, and she could secretly practice anytime. Ellinda continued her life, refusing to change her purpose in life in any direction for the sake of her new “family”. But she could not go against them, she knew. But yet, there was the will to do so.

Soon enough, the Holy Grail War came again. This time, the Wechseln family stood ready, with their heir ready to accept the invitation of the Holy Grail…

Obviously, it chose Ellinda. She had spent three years with her new family, and disliked every second of it. This annoyed, greedy piece of pure hatred for her new family was a lot more interesting. When this occurred most of the Wechseln just plainly gave up, as they never considered Ellinda a Wechseln. Giving Ellinda the power to do whatever she wanted until her departure for Lucca, even allowing her to use their money and import a barrel of crude oil for her use, the Wechseln gave her what she’d need for highest possible chance to win and then turned a blind eye to whatever happened next in Lucca, all of them expecting Ellinda to die horribly in the events that would transpire next…

The girl now moves to Lucca, command seals hidden under her gloves, with the innocent purpose of joining the Accademia di Belle Arti. She’s actually been interested in paintings for art for a long time, and a small gesture from the Wechseln family allowed her to be enrolled for the single purpose of hiding her status. It is more difficult to locate someone who noticeably does something else than one that appears to do nothing but roam the streets looking like that. Well, as a young girl chosen to be a Master, her mission now starts in a new direction…

MY GOALS[/color]: // Ellinda’s goals are to win the war, bring down the Wechseln family and get herself back to the Mitchell family. With the gain of the command seals, she’s already gotten far away from the hands of her family…
[/size][/blockquote]

[/color][/b][/color]: // Her clothes.

A certain little colorful amulet she keeps by her stomach. It is a little something that the Wechseln family gives their members for the sake of defense. Being trap-masters the lot of them, it would be bad if they could not sense their own traps. Sensor included, this little thing will give a signal to its wielder about the nature of something filled with prana nearby if the wearer missed it. The signal is a slight rumble reacting to nearby concentrations of prana, a more powerful rumble the more powerful the concentration. Ellinda can turn it off by a slight use of power, and will have to in order to be normal out on the streets as the artifact while active obviously also uses prana that was supplied it from Ellinda.

Inside her small pockets on either side of her waist (yes, those are pockets) she stores a number of small items. This includes a wallet with a large amount of money from her family as well as passports and the like, a few match-boxes, pointy metal shards and salt.

Underneath her clothing she has gathered an amount of oil inside special pockets in her clothes. Roughly three cubic decimeters of oil are stored in a thin layer all over underneath her clothes, making her look just a tiny bit broader than she actually is. Also, she holds a fair bit stored inside her gloves should the situation demand it.

With her on her journey, she brought a single barrel of oil for use. It is heavy, she barely got it up to her hotel room, it will be exceedingly difficult to bring to a fight. However, it is the oil she got for thus war. Taking the oil from the barrel, it better be enough to get through this war.

RANK[/color]: // 4th Rank (?)
ELEMENT[/color]: // Earth and Water
EXPERTISE[/color]: // Having trained herself solely and only to be a magus, she never had the time to become anything else. Although, her expertise in oil-magecraft is possibly the only one in existence.
MAGIC CIRCUITS[/color]: // Ellinda contains only 8 magic circuits due to her young family, but her quality is boosted to a whopping 22 by the Wechseln genes. In addition to this, her crest contains 10 circuits with a low Mitchell quality of 1.7, resulting in the equation 8 * 22 + 10 * 1.7 = 193 Maximum Prana.

SPELLS[/color]: //
Schwarz Schleuder (Earth/Water)
Rank: E
Cost: 5 Pr/spell
Range: 0.5 m / 7 m
Effect: A small amount of oil, approximately to a maximum of 0.2 kg, is launched with a single velocity in one direction. After being launched, all laws of nature are applied. The oil will most likely scatter. The spell is a single-action one. The caster of the spell can take additional amounts of oil by adding one line per 0.1 kg, and an additional 5 pr for it. For each the effective range will decrease by one meter. The rank of the spell will increase accordingly. This spell can be used in tandem with Harte Schlamm, hardening and launching at the same time. This increases the total level to C, prana consumption to 20 pr/0.2 kg and making the spell casting require one verse plus a line per 0.1 kg over 0.2 used.

Usually, Mitchell members were only capable of using the first stage of this spell. With the addition of Ellinda’s superior prana, more could be added, up to a maximum of 4 and 0.6 kg for the cost of 25 pr, but theoretically it could go higher. The unification of the two spells was impossible for the Mitchell family until Ellinda came around.

Harte Schlamm (Earth/Water)
Rank: D
Cost: 5 Pr/0.2 liter
Range: 2 m
Effect: Focusing the prana inside the oil, the magus can make a limited reinforcement to the oil when it is within the range of two meters. The oil can be hardened to the state where a person could pick it up. The hardening is as hardening a body (loads of organic substance), except this spell is specifically for oil. Lasts roughly ten minutes. Things that is located in the oil while it is being hardened will get stuck. Casting of the spell is made by two lines. This spell can be used in tandem with Harte Schlamm, then increasing the total level to C, prana consumption 20 pr/0.2 kg and and making the spell a one verse plus a line per 0.1 kg over 0.2 used.

This is the most advanced spell the Mitchell managed to make in their fanatic struggle to make magecraft out of oil. Simply a reinforcement spell that only affects oil. Other magi would look at this with pity. Ellinda has been able to bring the spell to a better potential, doing it on a slight range and with larger amounts as well as combining it with the other spell of the family.

Malen Potenzial (Earth or Water, depending on what it is used on)
Rank: E
Cost: 5 Pr
Range: 1 m
Effect: Inviting the inner properties of a material and adding a few own, the magus can affect minor properties in a material. Mainly, the color. Actually, only the color. This is a spell that can be used to change the color of materials, mainly those around the user. The color will not turn back when the spell ends, the change is permanent. While capable of being used on a meters distance, for best result one should hold one’s hand less than a decimeter from the object one wants to paint. If used well, the magus can create an image exactly as s/he desires it to look on the surface ahead. The use of this magecraft is employed by a single line, and it stays for about twenty minutes before the spell ends. It doesn’t take much prana to maintain. Ellinda herself is much more proficient at coloring oils than anything else, so one might see her coloring a painting in a single color and yet it is a whole spectrum in the image she's painting...

A spell someone decided to teach her when she expressed interest in the paintings that was hanging in a certain room in the Mage’s Association. While she is trained to be a magus first and foremost, Ellinda sometimes sneaks away from work to make a childish portrait somewhere near…


Kurz-Falle (Earth)
Rank: D
Cost: 30 pr
Range: 3 m
Effect: This spell is cast by one verse. The magus delays a spell cast by someone inside a magecraft trap created from the spell. It can be cast by the magus herself or anyone, though it may not have a rank above C. When the effect is delayed, the prana will simply not do what it was intending to for a time while the magus leaves a “mark” nearby that the spell links to. After a set time, from whatever time the caster set to full 72 hours if the spell is weak, or until the mark senses enough prana to be satisfied, the little invisible to the eye mark of prana will unleash the spell a bit late. Sensor distance is roughly when a person with open magic circuits threads within a meter or two, depending on the persons prana-level. Then, the spell will be released at that spot. Several can be in place at once.

A favored spell among the Wechseln, it allows the members to put up traps to lay in the way of their enemies. A somewhat new person to this spell, Ellinda is not able to use the spell to its full potential. The true Wechseln heir can hold A rank spells, hold weaker spells indefinitely and have these in position without prana-maintenance. Ellinda cannot. For her, a C rank can only be held roughly 30 seconds, a D rank roughly 45 minutes, but an E rank up to 72 hours.

Welt Verändern (Earth)
Rank: D
Cost: 22 pr
Range: 5 m
Effect: With two lines, somewhere within five meters of the magus a single piece of material will be shaped to the magus wishes. Depending on what the magus wishes, the floor might give way, a wall may stab out and attack. However, it is highly limited as shaping. The magus has very limited control of the shape that is taken, it will most likely be very malformed, and it can only be one movement per line and 22 pr. The largest movement possible would most likely be forming a two meter stalagmite with an average radius of 2 dm of the material in the floor/roof/wall or bending a square of a single square meter with a decimeter thickness up or down to defend someone, block a path or make someone fall through the floor.

Ellinda cannot use this to the same degree that a true Wechseln could, but she has still been taught its use. A true Wechseln could manipulate far more material at once at far higher a rank. Ellinda would be forced to remain with mere standard manipulation around, but she’s still somewhat capable, probably thanks to her skill in magecraft. This spell is a favorite to be combined with Kurz-Falle due to the traps that could potentially be created.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

There. I think that covers it.

It is my first character. Be gentle with me.

[Herakles]

Family history:

Problem begins here with dwindling crests. You see, crests never dwindle or decay. Crests survive in families for hundreds or thousands of years. They get stronger as they are added to with knowledge and circuits. This is why old families are such a big deal. They have an insane amount of power from that crest in comparison to others. What decays are the natural circuits they are born with. When they decay in number or quality it is not the crest that does so.

So the founder goes off the deep end and gives up all his business in favor of pursuing magecraft. Although what baffles me is what aid he COULD invest in to do so. Who/what exactly is being mentioned in this line?

Need exact time of founding. I am iffy on the oil element as I mentioned in ccbox. Y'see while water is involved in combinations, flows, and cycles, oil would not be a sub element of it. Oil and water don't mix. Sub elements like ice are something you could naturally get out of water. If anything this would be a sub element of earth if allowed. I'll get back to you on this.

So what I really want to know is what family she is from now? Mitchell or Mr. Welchensens? You'd carry the name of whatever family you succeed. If its the Mitchell's, since you have their crest, it should reflect that.

Need an average prana per circuit for both families.

Personals:

So....how did the Mitch find out about the holy grail war? Being new on the block, little knowledge in the ways of the magi, etc. The grail war is rather hush hush at this point and hard to find info on. While after the 5th war it is still quiet, it is less so since total info blockage is not possible when Fuyuki is a crater. Before that I need a concrete reason. For that matter, I'd like to know the same for the dirty hermits. How do they know when they aren't active enough to get a catalyst?

So this next part strikes me as more than a little crazy. This deal was made under great pains to remain secret. From a rich(?) oil baron family to a old, secretive hermit family. There is no real evidence to link the two at this point. So why is the finger auto pointing at the Pigsty collective? Why do they go and CONFIRM this by recalling the daughter and child? Especially when they want to keep it quiet??? If they just shut up and denied it they would be fine. Its only baseless rumors after all and the Mitchells would keep silent to avoid exactly this backlash.

And before you ask, the oil magnates would win that one. They SHOULD have some proof of the deal going down. By terms of mage contract or something among the like. They show that in a court? Even if it is the MA they would slide away laughing. Girl should be Mitchell. And the family SHOULD fight with all of their might since their entire family is on the line when she has the crest. Fix this before anything else.

Equip:

So is this a jewel similar to the Edefelts or Tohsakas then? Since thats pretty much how jewels work. You store power in them then release it later. This is pulling mana from the atmosphere, filling the jewel, and then releasing it. Rin did this by taking prana infused blood out by needle every day and putting it into the jewel. This would be a single time use deal and whatever prana you gained in it through a short time would be negligible in terms of a boost.

Exactly how much oil is under her clothes and how does she store it? Also is this being kept solid at all times? If so you will not be holding that for long. At all. Something that occurs over time requires a rate of pr expended per amount of time. Mages will detect your constant use of prana to boot if so. I would suggest trying to make this a mystic code which would be somewhat more forgiving in maintaining. Otherwise try small amounts in micro capsules stitched into the clothes to be broken on use. Ruins the clothes and is a one shot thing but better than walking around all the time trying to do so.

Going to ignore how you got the barrel through customs but..."appear" stronger? So it does not actually make her stronger?

Expertise:

You can list magecraft here as an expertise. Especially oil magecraft since I guess who else does it?

Spells:

All of your spells need a casting time listed. Single action, single line, multiple lines, verses (3 lines is a single verse). Also rank is determined by how difficult it is to recreate something. Making a lightning bolt come down from the sky would not be ranked the same as one shot horizontally, etc. Direction of spells in range is optional but appreciated.

Chip off the block:

Not telekinesis which is not simple at all. It would be a psychic ability to begin with and most are too weak to do much of anything. Canonically strongest is our dear sister Fuji-non (In this war too~!) which no one is going to be allowed to come close to. Remove the mentions of it. You might be able to move earth or metals with this (if you had metal element on the last) but not anything else. Redo or scrap this.

ZCement:

Auras do nothing and have no part in magecraft. Loosening something to wet cement would be more than just slightly. Humans are solid and the term seditary lifestyle was created for a reason. I suggest just saying "Does not work on organic materials" to make things simpler. Might not remain based on how family plays out but do-able with some work. Will need more pr expended in consideration of the range.

Wicker Schwartzwald:

Rank should never be variable based on trying. Recall earlier how I said difficulty in recreation is the determining factor. Will refrain on commenting until verdict is reached on oil element.

Da Branch:

I'm not really sure where to start on this one. I'm conflicted on the rank since oil occurs naturally but this DOES speed up the process by thousands of years into the space of several hours. So I gues the rank is appropriate which brings me to the next issue. This should not be something that can be achieved in only 160 years by a fledgling family. I would be impressed with this coming from a 700 year family. Other concerns are impractical due to time constraints, cost, and prana res making this nothing more than a use for creating more oil.

Also what happens if a E rank fireball hits any of your oil spells? Food for thought. Feel free to contact me in pm, box, ccbox, etc if you need help or have questions. I'll be happy to work with you on anything and everything. This is a good first effort and while it may seem like alot, don't get discouraged.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

Dwindling crests should obviously be dwindling circuits. My mistake.

Added contacts for investing in magecraft. Contacts make the world go round~ Also, contact with Mage's Association established. Done.

1867, time of founding. Oil has been around that long! And oil element is now... um... whatever I've written.

She is succeeding the Mitchell, but... um... well... she's not with them anymore. She's been forcibly adopted. Unless you tell me there are magi rules against that now.

Prana for each family added.

Alright, so now the Wechseln learned it from some contact among the lords in a meeting, in some similar way that Kayneth learned, we think. Maybe the Wechseln were supposed to have the spot taken by Shirou, but didn't get it. Heh. Who knows~ Also, the Mitchell never knew about the war now. They just found the artifact and noticed how much the Wechseln wanted it~

OK, evidence added. In the shape of a loud-mouthed Mitchell that talked about things he should not. Good enough? That would make the Mitchell having been the ones to have broken the contract and the Wechseln would be free to act as they pleased in order to even the field. Like that.

No, the jewel was not similar to Tohsaka's. It was really something that was to make her capable of using more prana at once, as if to increase the size of her faucet. Seeing how that won't work, I made it exactly like Tohsaka's instead. Hey, she's an Earth magus. It works perfectly.

Alright, I made the oil she carries a little bit more... um... um... discreet. As in, less magic. Though...

Yes, she'll be stronger near the barrel.

Added expertise in oil.

Casting time listed.

Chip: Erased any mention of telekinesis and added wind-element to explain the movement.

Zement: Erased all mentions of auras. Increased cost in prana. Described more in detail.

Wickeln: Updated with what was mostly discussed. I think. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully. Hah.

Ölverbrauch: Removed. There is no way that spell could be made by the Mitchell. It is way too complicated. I liked the idea that maybe she'd become famous for making oil out of her victims, but... Hah.

Added two more spells after reading up on oil. One inspired by the fact that crude oil contains 80% carbon, the other is inspired by how paint is made out of oils. Also why I suddenly decided to make her interested in artistic things. Heh.

Also, added some appearance description... I think.

If someone launches fire at her, she'll make sure to get the oil either away from her, or into the fireball. She'll do her best not to be hit, obviously. That would turn real bad. But, she does not consider herself at a disadvantage. She's proud of her spells. Let me at them.

So, there. How'd I do now..?

[Herakles]

Family History:

Contacts such as tutors would not be available. I could let slide the magus you charmed taught you. I have trouble believing it but I could let it pass. Going out when you have no magic and babbling at magi to teach you would ordinarily get a normal like you mind wiped at best. Magi are secretive beings and hoard their knowledge ruthlessly. The association does not want magic to spread for fear of nations passing laws to regulate it. They have enforcers to make sure this does not get out and blabbermouth magi get executed. I suggest sticking to getting the magus to teach you.

The reclusive and never leaving the earth Wechselns make little sense having info on this. They are so stuck up they don't even leave their place? Is the image I am getting here. Make them slightly less reclusive please so they have some way to get info.

Problem with element I'll bring up early. You are a earth/water magus which is no problem so far. However your element is listed as earth/water and nothing else. This is a problem when your spells utilize wind. Since....you don't have that element. I guess you forgot to put it in. Scroll down to see what I mean. The problem here in history is....final spell uses wind....which mitchellsons don't actually have. So....what the heck?

Dirty hermits have mag circuit count a little too high...cut back on that a tad. Really should not have anything over base 300 pr in their bodies tbh but that is for chars in war. Try bringing in a magus snpc from this family and watch how fast their pr count drops.

Now the big problem....they spent 900 years underground. Away from light sources. So why haven't they become eyeless fish mole people by now? Pale is to be expected from all those gens underground but it would show as way more than that. Get them out in the sun more at least. They remind me of nosferatu from masquerade at the present draft.

Personals:

You see....they would still belong to the Mitchells. Since the daughter married OUT of the family and the daughter was born outside it. Just specify in the contract that it was recorded the daughter and any offspring would be returned to the Dirty Mole people if the contract was broken. Otherwise its just kind of odd...I mean they might get the mom back but not the daughter otherwise. Which is problematic for you.

The weakest in the Mole Men family could lolwtfpwnzr her in magecraft to use the leetnacular. That age gap isn't so easy to breach you know. Thats a major dorama point in universe for many.

Btw at what age did she go to the moles? Important for me figuring out your spells learned from them.

Equip:

Jewel: Would require a defined rank, accompanying spell slot, and some kind of expertise to use it above E rank...which it should be really. I mean your first and not alot in it...I'd say E rank spell would be released. Since jewels are basically stored spells and you have not put much of anything in it from the looks of it.

Element:

As mentioned...needs another here.

Spells:

Chips N dips:

Manipulating more than one object would probably take more pr and a higher rank. Range is 20m and should be in range section for projectiles. (Ex: Range: Touch for objects, 20m for affected objects.) Range might be a tad high for an E rank spell.

Problem is, you can't use spells outside of your element. Thats why elemental affinity is important here. Its why average ones are so special/amazing.

All the colors of the wind:

So is this actually changing the color of the object or is this an illusion making it appear as such? Since color is more or less colors and object does not absorb well and bounce off back into your eyes....will comment on this when I figure out which it is.
Needs casting time.

Coolstuff Verseachtchung:

See the problem with full body solid armors like these is you suffocate to death. Since this is all encompassing and entirely solid. So you can't breathe. More detail on what kind of force would break this is needed. Spell is a bit more powerful and needs more verses than what it's level indicates. Now we get to the big problem which is mostly on my end. How durable is carbon? I am not good with science (at all) but from what I see, there is nothing boasting of carbon being all that strong on it's own. Just how hard some things containing carbon are. Which vary from graphite to diamond.

I spoke with a science friend. Things made of pure carbon are ash, graphite, and diamond. Diamond is right out for this spell. Pure elements would not be very flexible at all either. So It would be possible to get inflexible pencil lead plates of armor that might stop a blow or two. Nothing at the level you want though.


Volumen Hydragium oil version:

Right now the spell is outright denied. Volumen was created as the personal mystic code of a genius magus lord. While this is noticeably not at the same level in many aspects, I cannot let it slide. The spell requires a element none of your family have to work. This is from a non meta standpoint a complete waste of time the family should have no business continuing to research. Your family is struggling to get mastery over their element and get through the basics going into a completely new area of magecraft. The spell should not even be close to completion at your birth? The spell's pr useage and chant requirement are way too low for this. Putting that aside why should I let it slide even if the rest were acceptable? The mitchellsons don't have a track record in genius research or good sense. The opposite in the latter in fact.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

I was told that one needed not have the elemental affinity to use a spell, even though it helped. I was given the example of Touko, who apparently used a huge load of flame despite being off a wind-family.


Despite that I should have more spells than them, the older ones are more powerful than me in their spells by the single reason they have a higher maximum prana. And yet, I cannot have impressive spells despite my story saying I was born with somewhat high of a prana level. I don't understand. The ones of the Wechseln family that did not get crests should have to learn magecraft the most difficult was as if they were a first generation with loads of prana, and yet they overpower me. I hold a crest of three generations (little, I know) and a lot of prana (even if not their level) but I cannot have spells of particular power. I mean, they should be pretty much have first-generation spells with loads generation prana, right? Then, what can I have?

Kayneth uses his automatically and without limit. I can barely use it for moments without getting drained. I mean, if I attempt to use all my oil for five seconds... 5 * 5 * 3, that's 75 prana for five seconds. I need to react, know what to do, and probably spend way more than he ever needed. Plus, I'd be drained after thirteen seconds of use, meaning I'd have to ration constantly and not overuse or I'd be left dead-meat. And that is assuming I have not used any other spell. It is actually highly impractical, now when I consider it. ... Ah, well. A problem with years, I guess.


I was intending the color spell to be actually changing the color. No illusion. Actually change the color, so it stays like that.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

Added a strange magus with an interest to see how far a newly created family that the magus aided in the creation of could go. Personal desire, you see.

Wechseln do interact with the world. Sorry to make it seem otherwise. Added a few lines about interaction with the Mage's Association. Also, changed their specialty from "metal" to "traps", seeing how there already were a metal user somewhere in there.

900/50 should be 18 generations. It feels stupid to give them less circuits than they have generations... Also, I was suggested to make Ellinda's quality up in the twenties, and I went O.o and now it feels wrong to make the quality of them lower than mine. Finally settled for something.

The average Wechseln member holds 14 circuits with 22 PrC, leading to a 308 maximum prana.

"400-700 = 300 at most.
700-1000 = 500 at most."

Myum. Should be able to take more than 300...


Added a line in the contract. Like. Sigh.

She went to the moles at 14, and spent three years training in their arts. Too little?

Jewel would take spell-slot... *throws* Alright, it is now a prana-sensor I can turn on or off! Unless that is strictly forbidden, that is.

Added oil in her gloves. Seeing how oil everywhere wasn't that bad, why not...

Erased the Wind element, and edited all the spells using it.

Chip: Now only affects oil and things carried along the oil, thereby removing the wind element as water apparently is enough to move the oil. Increased the rank, reduced the range.

Malen: Yes, I recolor things. Is that alright?

Zement: Since you didn't mention this, I assume it is alright.

Kohlenstoff: Removed. I foolishly believed I could reinforce graphite or something into an unseen material in between that was not that hard but still hard... Magecraft, hah... Well, it is now replaced by...

Plötzliche Falle: If I can't have strong spells among the Mitchell, can I have it among the Wechseln? Since I remade the Wechseln from "metal"-users to "trap"-users, I thought of having this rather extraordinary little spell. Possible error might be that I have spent way to short a while in the Wechseln family to have learned it.

Wickeln Swarts: Have not done a thing. I know it is currently denied, but I didn't know what to do with it. Tell me what I can do.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

The profile is now ready for evaluation for the fourth time.

In addition to what I have not crossed over in the above post, I have somewhat remade the entire spell-area, except for the color spell. It is true that the first spell may resemble what I had earlier, but I pray it is not excessive and that I have this explained. Without further ado, I am once again in your mercy.

Also, it seems I have secured a Servant that will force me to depart to Secundus. But, that's for then.

[Ellinda Wechseln]

Ellinda has been transfered to Secundus.

Though, I'd like this thread to remain somewhere for nostalgia reasons. Heh-heh~
