Tao Shelong/Abilities & Powers

Apart from what her usual small frame might suggest, Tao is both a powerful combatant and capable magic castor. She is what the guild collectively refers to as a jack-of-all-traits combatant. Her mastery of both Physical and Spiritual Chi allows her to summon effigies of her dragon form that can either launch physical attacks or unleash devastating spells. She herself can cast spells as well, and is strong enough to lift and carry over five hundred pounds with a single hand. Her Miko class allows her to specialize in lightning magic, which she can likewise use to augment her physical attacks as well. Being a dragonoid, she is also able to take dragon form. In this form she becomes physically stronger, taking a more aggressive fighting style and utilizing a pair of swords to attack. This form however, allows her to utilize her powerful Dragon’s Breath attack to engage enemies at long range. In all this makes her a powerful opponent at any distance, and will require a great deal of skill to defeat.
