Crone

Crones wield the power of Demons by absorbing their attributes.

Crones imbue themselves with the powers of demons. Once they have absorbed a demon's traits, they can transform into a demon of their own design.

## History

Crone joined the power pact approximately 900 years ago. Its users were considered mysterious, but this is mostly because they die so much. It is extremely rare to see a Crone who isn't only a few years in practice, but its prominent users always seem to gain reputations quickly with big personalities and leadership qualities. Crones, like other members of their Coven, were not seen in high-ranking oppositions until the appearance of Grem and Godhand Tyrael, and recently, the chief herself. In the past, Crones were not seen in any significant leadership positions.

Relations with this particular animastic are difficult because of their use of demonic abilities. But Crones are resilient and normally highly social, so it is much easier for them to branch into other flock groups or lead their own. Crones are only allowed to be seen in demonic transformations when they are training because their presence can shed a particular type of arcana which can affect weaknesses in nearby entities. It isn't lethal to most, but can slow some recovery and attract unwanted attention from wild arcanic creatures and even those who share your coven curse, so so it is polite to stand about five feet away.

## Earning Your Power

Crones are taught by other Crones or Demons, although the latter method is highly dangerous because demons don't care about your mortality. Enticing a demon to share their presence with you is very similar to the Evoker's method of enslaving their first demon. Demons can have their own masters, though unmastered demons can be found in the Blood Coven's Heriak Pit.

Demonic is an otherworldly language, but in place of this language we will use Françalgo. Françalgo can be created by tying your dialogue into this translation program, then copying your translation into this zalgo program with "mini" and "middle" selected. If you cannot use this language in your emote's dialogue, simply include something like "\_\_ speaks demonic." in place of your character's speech. Language Barrier is a pain in the ass to deal with for your character, likewise the same for you!
  Cancelling Language Barrier
When Language Barrier is placed on a target, it is considered an active effect. Although it cannot be removed under normal circumstances, active effects can be removed by use of certain Mind Manipulation abilities.

Your first emote must include beginning to grow the horns. Your fourth emote may include the finished appearance of your horns. You may move while casting, but cannot perform abilities which require dedicated threads, channeled threads, or cast times until **Incantation; Demon Horn**'s cast is complete on the 4th emote.
  Dedicated Threads
10 Threads are dedicated to this transformation. You cannot replenish or use dedicated threads until you dismiss this ability. You will automatically gain these threads back when Demon Horns is dismissed.
  Creation & Use
Demon Horns are part of your Demon Form. This ability summons the horns from this form. To create a Demon Form, use the guide here. Demon Horns activate an effect that eliminates all cast times, but this effect will cancel if one of the horns is broken. Because of this, it is advantageous to create horns that are thick, secured, and stable.
 Passive Effect & IC Explanation

Each emote you make while using Overgrowth will deduct 10 threads from your power pool. This will take effect any time horn is being grown or twisted.
 Use
Overgrowth allows you to grow your horns out from their original size up to infinite lengths. Unfortunately, this ability does not regrow broken horn, rather, it simply extends horn length from its base. The horn can also twist as it grows, allowing you to entangle it around objects. Although demon horns are incredibly strong, they may still break under excess torque.

5 Threads are dedicated to this transformation. You cannot replenish or use dedicated threads until you dismiss this ability. You will automatically gain these threads back when Demon Horns is dismissed.
 Creation & Use
Demon Tails are part of your Demon Form. This ability summons the tail or tails from this form. To create a Demon Form, use the guide here. Demon Tail activates an effect that replenishes 5 threads each time an incoming attack misses you. This applies only to attacks you were intentionally targeted by, and this effect will cancel if the tail is severed. Demon Tails will transform any existing tail if the ability is activated multiple times, but if you choose to use it on one of multiple tails, the excess tails will simply disappear until the ability is deactivated. Demon Tail will also transform amputated tails, however, without a tail tip, its effect cannot activate.
 IC Explanations
Since the points system does not exist within the RP, the effects of **Incantation; Demon Tail** are attributed to luck or speed, although some theorize that the tails have a direct impact on the trajectory of nearby magic.

This is a charged attack. Your first emote must include beginning the cast. Your second emote may include the attack. You may also choose to hang onto the orb, which will float in stasis at the tip of your tail until used.
  Damage Type
This is Arcana which is channeled into a type of fire attack. Although it isn't particularly hot, its damage is similar to chemical burns caused by Elements like Acid, but will primarily leave a raw patch on the surface of the skin. Demon Bolts will not catch other objects on fire, but will burn anything it touches for a limited period of time before fizzling itself out.

## ***DISCIPLE***

Dedicated Threads
5 Threads are dedicated to this transformation. You cannot replenish or use dedicated threads until you dismiss this ability. You will automatically gain these threads back when Demon Skin is dismissed.

Creation & Use
Demon Skin is part of your Demon Form. This ability summons the skin from this form. To create a Demon Form, use the guide here. Demon skin can change the color and pattern of your fur to practically any design. It can also add glowing markings, spikes, textured skin types, etc. This ability can also alter the and tongue color. Although this will change the color and texture of your Grimyte, keep in mind that this can't change body parts. It may alter the length and color of a hairstyle, but cannot change things like ear type, height, hooves, etc. No matter how the skin is changed, it will become tough enough to withstand more damage, similar to wearing leather armor. It will lessen the deepness of cuts, but is not immune from injury. The skin itself is protected from foreign substances, but this won't guarantee your protection from them.
 Passive Effect & IC Explanations

5 Threads are dedicated to this transformation. You cannot replenish or use dedicated threads until you dismiss this ability. You will automatically gain these threads back when Demon Fang is dismissed.
 Creation & Use
Demon Fang is part of your Demon Form. This ability summons the frontal face transformation from this form. To create a Demon Form, use the guide here. Demon Fang can change your character's original face to a more demonic design. This exceeds Grimyte facial limits, allowing you to create any face type. With this ability, you may change the face shape, including the tongue and teeth. Demon Fang does not include color changes, so it is recommended that you pair it with Demon Skin to preserve the face's markings, eye color, tongue color, etc. This ability only allows you to alter the face. It cannot alter anything above the hairline, including the ears, neck, and back of the head.

5 Threads are dedicated to this transformation. You cannot replenish or use dedicated threads until you dismiss this ability. You will automatically gain these threads back when Demon Paw is dismissed.
 Creation & Use
Demon Paw is part of your Demon Form. This ability summons the arm and hand transformation from this form. To create a Demon Form, use the guide here. Demon Paw can change your character's frontal limbs to a more demonic design. Demon Paws are characteristically larger and thicker than average and filled with long claws. This ability transforms one arm; You may need to stack this ability to achieve transformation on other limbs. Demon Paw cannot be used to transform legs or feet.
