Ikaris/Secondary Sparks

This is a list of all the skills that Ikaris possess arranged in order of their creation or acquisition.

## Descriptions

* **Self-Healing skill:** this is the very first spell that Ikaris had cast upon arriving at the Forsaken Lands, albeit unconsciously. When Ikaris arrived, he was covered in blisters and badly healed burns, and a gaping wound large enough for a dagger lay a few inches below his heart, bleeding profusely. Unaware of the significance of the Spark that he kept seeing, and the rules of Magic, Ikaris instinctively wished for his wounds to heal. During this time, his only recurring thought and desire had been to mute the head-wrenching pain inflicted on him by his untreated wounds. He felt a sense of inexplicable urgency, as if, if he didn't heal very soon, it would be too late. Ikaris then felt an indescribable weakness creep over him, as well as a ravenous hunger as if he hadn't eaten in several days, unaware that he had cast a spell in exchange for stamina. Initially he panicked, but when he noticed that his wounds were almost painless, he felt a surge of joy that almost brought tears to his eyes. Remembering what had happened when he had passed out before his capture, a flicker of realization dawned on his face. However, Ikaris did not associate this phenomenon with magic, only assuming that the mysterious Spark was somehow responsible for it. Ikaris would only come to realize later that magic was possible in this world when he witnessed Grallu performing a language spell that enable them to instantly learn the native language of the Forsaken Lands.
* **Black Veil:** is the first spell that Ikaris had cast after learning about magic. Black Veil is a very simple spell according to Grallu. Its' goal is very simple. To cast it, a person would simply wish to replace what the target of their choice sees with black, as if they had placed a blindfold on their eyes. Experience has proven that this is a spell that costs next to no stamina and is relatively safe. Ikaris' first Black Veil lasted for half a second, causing Grallu to lose her sight, as if a thick blindfold had been tied over her eyes. Ikaris' second Black Veil, however, lasted twice as long as the first, translating to a 100% improvement. This was an abnormality, as pure human sorcerers usually only had a 1% to 2% improvement. Even the Confederation's prodigies only had a 5% increase despite all the trainings they underwent.
* **See-Through Vision:** this is a spell that Ikaris subconsciously created simultaneously with **Heart-Puncturing**.  As the name suggests, See-Through Vision allows Ikaris to have an unobstructed vision. This spell functions well with Heart-Puncturing to deliver instant kills against weaker enemies.
* **Heart-Puncturing:** is a spell that Ikaris created in conjunction with **See-Through Vision**. After killing a goblin inside the jungle using Black Veil, Ikaris was left exhausted. However, to his horror, a second goblin had appeared. Completely exhausted, he started to give up, accepting his second death. But Ikaris ultimately refused to die again, remembering the fact that he was now in a world of magic. Thus, he turned his head with difficulty towards the goblin and with bloodshot eyes he pictured a heart beating fiercely in the rib cage of the rabid creature. He imagined the atria, the ventricles, the aorta and other blood vessels, then without missing a beat he drilled a hole, as if he had just stuck a fine needle through.
* **System:** is a spell that Ikaris made to assist him in his first step as a sorcerer on his way to the peak. But before he could take that first step, he had to know which path he wanted to pursue. And to know which path to take and how long it would take him, he needed to know where he was starting from and where he was on that path at any given time. Not only would this give him a better understanding of himself, but it would also allow him to clearly assess the impact of each new change. This was his scientific mind talking. If he didn't have all the parameters under control, he would become anxious. And to know all the parameters, he couldn't think of anything better than a System. The System Spell he intended to attempt, would be initially an **Appraisal Skill** cast on himself, but in time he intended to expand it and broaden its scope to other targets. If it was as he understood it, he could first visualize a very simple interface, and then through constant practice, make his spell more complex and add more functions as casting the System Spell became easier. In the long run, this System would become something permanent and intuitive, completely part of him. For this System to have any meaning at all I need it to notify Ikaris in real time of the status of each of his Sparks, but also of his physical condition. Hence, he tried to remember what these interfaces looked like in some of his favorite video games, but in the end it was the simple and uncluttered interface of his workplace computer that lingered in his mind. White letters on a black background. It couldn't be more basic, but the advantage was that it was extremely easy to visualize.
* **Appraisal:** a spell created at the same time as his Sytem spell, this spell allows Ikaris to see the name, attributes, skills, and other information of his targets.
* **I Am Me:**
* **Stealth:**
* **Enhanced Strength:**
* **Assimilation:**
