The Inscription Aspect - The Depiction of Inscription

**The Depiction of Inscription - The Mystic Scribe Claire**

This aspect of Claire is discovered when entering a simple world

along the Sea of Probability, where technological advances were never made,

as a result of an overabundance of energies not found in baseline realities.

The organisms have, over dozens of generations, adapted to utilize these energies

to express unique abilities and defenses.

It is through studying and cataloguing these forces and their effects upon living organisms,

that granted Inscriber Claire the ability to manipulate them in the same ways.

Her greatest tool is a special drone capable of detecting energies as they are gathered by organic beings,

lock onto their unique signature, and copy the shockwave of the effect,

replicating the effect itself using a small amount of focus and innate natural energies.

As this drone is uniquely tuned to her own senses, it will not function with other Claires,

possibly even overwhelming their natural born senses even if a link were possible.

This allows some degree of precognition, allowing Claire to use her disciplined training to prepare and weaken the effects

of enemies abilities. This same skill allows her, with a period of preparation, to instill a command of

booming, echoing, or focusing of the last used ability to make it her own, tweaking the effects to her of needs.

As such, the basic elements of reality no longer hold any mysteries from the inscriber,

able to expend her own mana and convert it into an elemental eruption towards a specific target.

**Connections**

The Vampire Hunter, Abraham - Having both come from a world occupied by strange and mythical creatures, both the Inscriber and the Witch Hunter had spent their youth learning how to deal with and survive alongside, these unusual beings. Though while Abraham's vampiric origins filled him with a frightening level of distrust for these beings, the Inscriber had an opposing, though equally strong, sense of curious optimism. Having both spent a lifetime devoted to the study of these creatures, their habits, strengths, and ultimately, their weaknesses, the two shared a kinship in discussing and exchanging the tools of their trade.

While developing a connection with the Inscriber allowed the Hunter to, through sharing of her blood, the ability to tune into her drone, just long enough to apply it's sensation of a targets weaknesses to his own uniquely amplified senses, Claire learned to tap into his rage and bloodlust to temporarily boom and price targets with her energies. An ability she further amplified by learning some of the glyphs the Hunter came across in his research, despite his disappointment at his half-blood heritage making him unable to tune to the energies of the earth enough to utilize them himself.

She softened his hate somewhat, by introducing him to the variety of beings she has allied with in her own travels, eventually helping him regain enough of his humanity to be able to face the sunlight, even taking away some of his susceptibilities to holy energy in the process.

While it is uncertain if their feelings towards each other will grow beyond a close kinship and a bonding over sharing similar origins, the witch hunter is forever thankful for the tolerance and humanity he has regained by being alongside the inscriber.

**The Tools of the Scribe - Innate**

**Analyze** - By taking a full action to observe an enemy, Claire can form a connection with them and sense their physical and innate power, becoming aware of their strengths and weaknesses, until finally she is able to home in on the target without the use of her senses, effectively eliminating any chance they have of dodging.

**Master of Magic/Energies** - Through sharing some of the worlds powers, she is able to split the cost of her abilities, while ensuring their accuracy is second to none, and finally elevating all her abilities to the next level through taping into the echoes of energies cast around her. This was developed further with the help of the dryad, whose own connection is ever present to the world.

**Elemental Magic** - By focusing on the energy of the world and understanding the elements are all simply sides of a single vital source, she learns how to be an extremely effective conduit of Nature. Once drawn inside of her, Claire is then able to exploit the volatile nature of this base energy, it's desire to take shape, and direct it into forming booming Lightning, roaring Flames, or Numbing Frost Flurries.

**Arcane Glyphs** - Claire can, as a free offhand action, bring to mind one of a complex arrangement of runes she has discovered during her studies of her worlds mythologies. As a psychological construct, this free action functions as a lense through which to direct her magical energies, giving them a specific type or flavor. She can shape them through either a concussive booming, a sharp piercing, or an all encompassing echoing rune, through which the inscriber changes the base properties of of that energy to achieve useful additional functions. As her focus grows further, she can retain the shape of a rune in her mind across a larger number of spells, though she can still change the object of her focus at any time to suit her next spell.

**Wizzar Drone** - Through the sensory connection shared with her unique scriber drone, the inscriber is able to lock onto the unique energy signatures left by foes when their abilities draw energies prior to deployment, whether that energy comes from within or without, her drone will lock onto that same source for a brief duration and copy it's resulting effect. Initially using her own energies to start the connection, by adding a solar powered battery to her drone, she is able to form connections to enemies energy sources with no expenditures of her own powers. The exception is abilities which call upon a foes own unique energies, as those require a willing target, her drone cannot lock onto innate class skills or abilities.

**Learned Abilities**

**Dark Arts** - By studying the Witches drawing, and use, of living and spiritual energies, Claire learns to effectively take them from another lifeform. She is able to channel more mana into her abilities than her own psyche alone is capable of. although her own nature prevents her from using anyone life force but her own, suffering some pain, as it's her own energies drawn she is able to make maximum use of the vitality and replenish her own mana in the process. Over time she has become disciplined enough to leverage the emotional strain and pain of this ability into the fabric of the spell itself, causing a proportionate increase in harm when they are used to destroy foes.

**Entomb** - By learning of the Egyptians practices of building tombs and intering the dead, she has learned to channel the Earth, along with its energy, out of the ground in order to engulf a foe. This delays and greatly reduces the agility of a foe until they can crawl free of the earth.

**Fireblast** - By studying Zane's unique affinity with a singular element, Clair earns a greater understanding of the role of flames as the unmaker of everything organic. This understanding that destruction is a part of life removes some of her reservations about destructive forces and allows her to char the entire battlefield , engulfing every foe, though the stress of the area affect limits the amount of focus she can muster by about 33%.

**Graves Call** - The Necromancer shows the inscriber how to tap into the void that is death and only absorbs, rather than granting, energy. By locking onto a foes escaping life forces, she is able to leverage a larger and larger pull of the void, hastening their demise. If ever a foe lost all of their vitality, their soul would be entirely negated, preventing any hope of recovery. They are now incapable of resurrection no matter how innate such an ability is to the species or powerful the mana or technology used.
