**Aya Grephin**, or Code Phantasm, is one of the six Lances that represent Dicathen. She is one of the three Lances that represent the Kingdom of Elenoir.

## Appearance

**Webcomic Appearance:** Aya has black hair, black eyes and a skin colour that can only be described as snow-white.

## Personality

Aya was described by Arthur as "one of the deadliest lance" due to her pretentious seductiveness. She also uses a sadistic way of torturing her victims with her illusions.

## Background

At some point prior to the story, Aya was chosen to become one of the 2 Lances of the Eralith Family together with Alea Triscan. From then on, she protected this family from the shadows until the creation of the Council of Dicathen. Afterwards, the Council publicly revealed the existence of the Lances to the rest of the continent.

## Relationships

Lances: The Lances at first only shared a simple colleague relationship with each other. But as the war progresses in the story, they become true comrades. This can be seen by the fact that Aya willingly sacrificed herself to protect the remaining Lances from Taci. As a result, the remaining Lances mourned her death.

## Abilities & Skills

As a white core mage and a Lance, Aya is one of the strongest mages in Dicathen.

**Wind Magic:** Aya is a wind conjurer who can create various shapes, weapons, and projectiles with wind magic.

* **Air Cresents:** She can conjure compressed blades of air.
* **Air Spear:** She can conjure a whirlwind of air concentrated into a spear-like point around her arm.
* **Breathing Control:** She eventually developed a spell that allowed her to control the air inside another person's lungs. This was previously thought impossible as it was widely held that in order to control air in another person required hours and hours of mediation. However, she used this technique to kill Lance Olfred, when it was revealed that he was a traitor. In order for this spell to work, she needs to attach thin, hair-like strands of mana to the opponent. She uses those thin strands of mana, that connected from the opponent to the tips of her fingers, as a medium in order to use this spell. In other words, she establishes a link to directly manipulate someone’s body using mana.

**Sound Magic:** Aya is a sound deviant who can use Sound Magic.

* **Illusion Magic:** Aya uses her illusion Magic Spell to torture her enemies and foes, making it a useful AOE (Area of effect) skill, allowing her to defeat countless enemy soldiers at the same time. Aya’s spell worked much like the mist present in the Forest of Elshire, except it also served as an anchor for her to freely and near-instantly traverse.

**Presence Concealment:** She also uses her Wind and Sound magic to conceal her presence, to the extent that even Arthur could not sense or detect her presence, hence her code name 'Phantasm'.

**Flight:** She is capable of flying.

## Quotes

* (To Arthur): “We’ve seen each other before, but I’ve never given you the pleasure of introducing myself,” she smiled coyly, tucking her wavy black hair behind her ear as she dangled a hand for him to accept. “My name is Aya Grephin.”
* (To Aldir): “Did you destroy my home? I felt it...your power...”

## Notes & Trivia

* Aya purposely uses her deviant magic to make herself sound more alluring.
* She is stronger than Olfred Warend, but no match for an Asura like Taci.
