## Abilities

### Magecraft

Said to be "the second coming of Tohsaka Rin", Canda is a natural talent, possessing a very high amount of inborn Circuits and an Average One. Instead of being gifted with a specific ability, she simply possesses everything a magus has on the highest level possible. She is expected to be very influential in the future, as she has been groomed to replace one of the Lord to expand the family influence even more.

As a very talented magus, Canda entered the Clock Tower on an early age by a letter of recommendation. She earned a seat in the El-Melloi Classroom and capable to take five department at once. By the time she graduated at 17 years old, she had been ranked Pride.

**Fossilcraft**

A form of Necromancy that draws the mystic aspect of animal corpses, usually their skeletal remains. Instead of a magecraft with a single cultural root, it draws from the very belief of fossils as proof of mythical phenomenons as its formula; such as the existence of dragons, the Biblical flood, and Gorgon's petrified victims. Simply put, a fossil magecraft that imitates mythologies. A school that gathers all into a single option.

As the very nature of their magecraft, they collect many fossils related to the mystics all around the world. Other than having influences on paleontological sites, they also collect wyverns and wyrms corpses all around England such as the dragons of Bignor Hill, New Forest, and West Somerset. Despite practically monopolizing high-quality materials, they are highly respected in the Association due to the fact their fast actions on seizing fossils play a role in keeping Mystery intact. Still, it's rumored that they are also gunning to acquire the Albion corpse in some way, but naturally, the Association will never give them permission.

Fossilcraft is deeply related to Mineralogy, Zoology and Botany faculty; as fossils are minerals formed from animals or plant remains. It is also related to Archaeology due to its relic nature. And because fossils are deeply tied with the scientific, the family started to consider diving in Modern Magecraft.

Similar to the Edelfelt's Jewelcraft, most of Fossilcraft utilize Mystic Code and can be said to be reliant on them. Unlike jewels, however, the higher quality fossils tend to be massive and hard to be carried around. To compensate for this, the backpack Canda uses everywhere is secretly a protoceratops skull concealed inside as it functions as a 'pocket space' for her to store the fossils.

Because humanity's texture grows weaker and weaker the more underground, fossils, in general, have a high quality of mystery.

Below are samples of her fossil Mystic Codes:

**Echinogerm:** Flying and homing-knives made from Echinodermata fossils. She hides the weapons as a necklace mystic code, and powerful enough to penetrate a car with enough momentum.

**Protogryphon:** The skull of a protoceratops used as a shield and backpack. It draws on the mythical griffin's role as a protector of gold treasures and divines. It functions as something similar to a pocket space for her to carry other fossils. However, it is simply a Bounded Field that allows her to compress all the fossils into the most compact form possible instead of a teleporting treasury like a certain King of Heroes.

* **Protogryphon - Nehoshet:** The Protogryphon shield has been infused with bronze allowing Canda to draw the dragon aspect of the dinosaur. It can be linked with a griffin as bronze can be found in griffin's protected treasures. Bronze serpent is often used as an amulet, allowing her to resist an enemy's magical attack.

**Dracorex:** The skull of a tyrannosaurus rex used as a flamethrower. It draws the mythical dragon role as a fire breathing terror widespread in Western mythology. Due to this, Dracorex can be evoked in almost every theropod. She can fire a pillar of flame from its mouth.

**Gigantopython:** The entire body of an ancient snake - Gigantophis, used as a whip spear. It draws much mythical lore of python snakes such as the legendary Python, strength symbolism in Vodun, and protector deity in Ghana. The final one, in particular, is evoked to keep the fossil solid like a log, while evoking the more typical snake deity roles allow it to be elastic. It has a very powerful crushing power in both forms.

**Dragon Blood:** A bank of dragon blood, a preserved relic of the Etherauletta family. Evoking the ancient belief of 'the best sword is quenched in dragon blood' such as the famed Damascus steel, it increases any of her mystic code's quality by 2 Rank.

**Aeprocnis:** An exoskeleton made from the fossil of an Elephant Bird. It draws the role of a mythical roc bird from Arabic mythology, said to be so powerful it can carry three elephants at once. It took the form of an exoskeleton armor that enhances all of her physical capabilities.

**Os Draconis:** A medicine made from vertebrate animals associated with dragons, based on long gu medicine from China.

**Dracophobia:** A poison made from a mix between the plant *euphorbia lactea* found in India and the saliva of komodo dragons. It evokes the image of a poisonous dragon with multiple heads like Hydra and Yamata no Orochi. Inhaling a moderate amount of the poison causes hallucination while being directly wounded with it can deliver intense pain.

**Homo Draconis:** Skeleton familiar that emulate "Dragon Tooth Soldier" used by the various legendary figures from Greek myth. It uses the fossils of Homo erectus, proto-humans whose fossils are mistaken for a dragon's. Canda mostly uses this familiar as a butler instead of a fighter.

**Akyast Seraph:** A humanoid dragon armor. It draws the role of Biblical Seraphim as a fiery serpent (dragon). It uses six wyverns' remains to build. Its full capability is unknown, as Canda will end the fight in a single, speed of light strike and knock her enemy out.

**Leviathan:** In ancient times, the discovery of marine fossils on lands that are high and far away from the ocean were often mistaken as proof of Noah's flood or any other flood myths. By invoking the legends to the marine fossils, she can freely manipulate them in high numbers as a high-pressure torrent of water that can force through anything. As one can see, it is a simple spell that relies on quantity more than quality, which Canda has plenty to spare.

* **Leviathan - Dracophobia:** What is more dangerous than a high-pressure torrent of water that can force through anything? A high-pressure torrent of liquid poison!
