==Summary==
Lilith was one of the first humans created by God, and the original wife of Adam, said to have predated the more well-known Eve, and left the Garden of Eden long before the latter's creation. Her origins stem from an apparent divise in the Judeo-Christian Creation Myth, in which Genesis 1:22 describes God creating the first man and woman before Genesis 2:22, which properly describes the birth of Eve. Under a strictly chronological interpretation of events, it is often believed in Jewish Folklore that the woman mentioned in the first chapter is Lilith, who was cast out of the earthly paradise at some point, with all different theories that attempt to ascertain a reason for that nonetheless noting her unfaithfulness to her husband.
However, the name "Lilith" has also been associated with a female night demon from Mesopotamian Mythology, said to have been a bearer of disease, illness, and death, with some also pinpointing her figure to have originated as part of a broader class of storm demons, known as the "Lilitu," her association with Judeo-Christian Folklore being nothing but a product of future syncretism between mythologies.

Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.
* Luster Candy: Increases all statistics of an entire party (Strength, speed and durability) by one rank.
* Dekaja: Removes all buffs from all foes.
* Dekunda: Removes all debuffs from herself and all allies.
