## Abilities

### Passive Ability. Arcane Fragments

Kyros has a unique resource to gain and spend in combat called Arcane Fragments. Kyros can gain Arcane Fragments by using Siphon Radiant on enemies, as well as landing combo finishers, which are most likely a type of weapon attack. Kyros automatically spends Arcane Fragments to grant extra charages of Savage Rake. The Arcane Fragments appear as a small floating purple orb that orbits around Kyros at waist height.

### Savage Rake

Kyros sweeps across the front of him with an oustretched hand, before violent purple energy rakes the ground in front of him, dealing damage in a line in front of him. If the ability is recast in quick succession, Kyros uses the opposite hand for the animation, and the ground is clawed the other way. Kyros can consume Arcane Fragments to cast this at no cost.

### Siphon Radiant

Kyros throws his arms into the air, releasing a blast of arcane energy that deals damage in a wide radius around him. He then brings his arms back in, siphoning the life from enemies hit by the initial damage, which absorbs arcane power, reduces his cooldowns, and grants an Arcane Fragment.

### Arcane Focus

Kyros briefly leaps into the air and marks the ground in front of him with an arcane sigil, marking any enemies. When a marked enemy takes damage, the mark builds up in power. The mark detonates once it reaches max power or whenever it expires, dealing damage equivalent to how much power it stored.

### Shockwave

Kyros leaps into the air and conjures shock and awe from the skies, forming a purple whirlwind over the area in front of him. He then summons a massive spectral hand to crash down, dealing massive damage in a large area.

## Backstory

There is a place known as the Kingdom of Ashes. Bones are scattered across beaches of black sand, and charred remnants of crystal spires still reach toward the sky. This has been a shunned ruin for thousands of years, but Kyros still remembers it as it once was, a glorious civilization whose achievements dwarfed those of the Avar Imperium or the Maze. He remembers studying the nature of reality itself, and even learning how to transcend his own flesh to become a being of pure mystical energy, bound to a skeleton of arcstone and crystal. While he possesses devastating power, Kyros is first and foremost a scientist. He is determined to stop the Gloom; he will not watch another civilization be destroyed. But he believes the key to defeating the Gloom is to understand it.

Kyros is a deadly warmage and a brilliant researcher. But he has been lost in the void for countless centuries, and there’s much he has forgotten or never knew. What became of his people? How did his wondrous nation become the Kingdom of Ashes… and did he have something to do with it? The answers must be out there, waiting to be found.
