Lightning Magic

Lightning magic is associated with *electricity, energy, efficiency,* and *speed*. Lightning magic is temperamental, demanding precision from its practitioner, often at a pace that might be just a little too fast for the budding lightning-bug. Nonetheless, it is a powerful ally to master, offering boosts to speed and the harnessing of energy.

Lightning magic is part of the hybrid class. Pegasi/peryton and horses/deer can have this magic as their affinity.

## Available Talents

### Lightning Manipulation

* **Level 1**: You can create static at will, and impose small shocks on other objects or beings. You can sense electricity in the air easily and with great effort, redirect electric currents.
* **Level 2**: You can create arcs of strong electricity, utilizing it for practical means or to subdue opponents. You can even utilize it as a form of weaponry, such as whips or swords (lightsabers, anyone?)
* **Level 3**: You can ‘surf’ on solid ground or objects (railing, cables, etc) by riding a wave of electricity. You are likewise capable of storing electric energy in your body and releasing it as a blast that stuns and burns.

### Force Fields

* **Level 1**: You can generate an enormous amount of static within your body that gives a nasty shock to anyone or anything unfortunate enough to touch you. With effort, you can place this static onto small objects, imbuing them with a painful shock of their own.
* **Level 2**: You are now able to manifest an electric field around yourself or another person / object. It is incapable of blocking projectiles, but will fry anyone or anything trying to get through.
* **Level 3**: Your force field can now be big enough to shield a large number of people, and is capable of deflecting projectiles and other objects. You can hold an anchored forcefield for hours, but mobile force fields drain energy quickly, and can only be maintained for a few minutes at a time.

### Quicksilver

* **Level 1**: For short bursts, you are able to move at a speed beyond your normal capabilities - 1/2 times faster than you could move before.
* **Level 2**: You are now able to maintain an even more substantial speed with your movements, nearly twice as fast as you used to be. Magic seems to affect your body as well: you are less affected by wind resistance and friction.
* **Level 3**: You can now maintain a speed up to three times your normal capabilities. You are capable of temporarily condensing your body into pure electric energy and zipping forward at the speed of a true lightning strike.

Death Ward

A Blood Sworn Rank within Visage

Death Wards are the fighters within Visage. While many take swords and daggers as their preferred fighting style, its not uncommon to see some with crossbows, whips, and low grade guns. While Death Wards mostly commonly work on a ship in a crew, it is not uncommon to see them working within the main city Korove and The Scurvy as hire-able protection. They are a needed rank within the faction to ensure some sort of structure and life within Visage. The fraction is ruthless, but not ruleless.

It’s not hard to become a Death Ward. Many train under a fellow Death Ward until they gain enough skill to be fully recognized. When recognized, their mentor often gives them a specialized weapon to symbolize the completion of their training. It can take a few years to be fully trained, but well worth it for the coin the ensues from this job

**Ideas on what your Death Ward Can Do**

* Go along with missions with your Pirate Lord
* Help protect Korove and the Scruvy
* Fight monsters and other crew members
* Able to set off like Maurders with others to explore the desert without a Pirate Lord
* Train Scabs to follow in their footsteps

Military

Despite having never officially been at war with any other faction, Tasnal maintains a standing military. Any Citizen is eligible to apply for military positions, and they are expected to be able to keep up with the physical demands of the job.

There are two main routes for military personnel to take; City Watch and Naval Officer. The City Watch are tasked with maintaining peace and lawfulness in both the Citizen and Markless districts. Naval Officers have a slightly more diverse job, and it typically requires them to leave the main isles of Tasnal. Below the islands is a large dock that has been built to rest on the ocean, and houses Tasnal’s naval fleet. This fleet is commonly used to patrol the waters around Tasnal, as well as occasionally escort emissaries, agents, assassins, and various cargo to other factions. Officers are also expected to routinely patrol the docks in order to catch any possible stowaways; both coming to and leaving Tasnal.
