Saevatorium

## Users

Yaegar

The experience of pain instils the user with magically enhancing powers which increases the user's physical performance beyond its normal boundaries.

## Overview

This magic is the byproduct of a curse which was placed on the user by a Black Mage. This curse manifests as a entity within the user that is known as **Saeva**.

*Power at the cost of pain. That was the bargain. Little did he know that the entity brought forth by the Curse would not stop craving the raw sensation of hurt and agony. Pain was the source of energy that **Saeva** fed on. Energy which in part was released through Yaeger's veins like acid: driving him insane until giving into a blind rage and meeting further pain head-on with utter desperation; ever unsatisfied. Saeva ever torments him whenever he thinks he found a moment of peace and forces Yaegar to hurt those who he grows close to. Even the pain of wanting to kill himself gives Saeva enough power to physically stop him from committing the crime as Saeva needs to keep Yaegar alive to feed off more of his pain. Her ultimate reason is to accumulate increasingly greater amounts of energy. That is why she forces Yaegar through trials of increasing levels of agony and excruciating pain, which makes him stronger and capable of performing even more torturous feats which in turn bestow Saeva with more and more power. The goal behind this accumulation of energy is for Saeva to fully and completely take over Yaegar's mind and body; erasing Yaegar's existence and claiming every last one of his cells for herself to create herself a powerful avatar.*

## Properties

When directly receiving damage, whether physical or magical, there is a reduction in terms of the damage taken by the user. Although this does nothing to diminish the physical/magical attack in question, it does diminish the amount of resulting damage translated onto the user by 50%. The User's physical Stats increase by the same amount. Meaning that if the user just tanked a fireball from a opponent with 10 points in magic, he only takes effective damage for 5 points of magic's worth while his physical stats (Strength, Dexterity, Durability) are boosted by 5 points of magic. The physical stat increasing effects of this power-up last until the end of the user's next turn. The highest increase always takes effect and boosts do not stack. **Saevatorium** **only works against spells that inflict pain (Damage) on the user.**

Saevatorium's Stamina cost equals 50% of the conveyed physical stats boost value mentioned in the previous paragraph. (If physical stats are increased by 5, the stamina cost is 2.5.)

The User's pain limit increases the more that this magic is used, forcing the user to seek out heightened levels of pain. Even from a starting level, just a few scratches or a small bruise won't cut it: proper punches, cuts, and being hit by magic all are far more likely to be painful enough to trigger and/or maintain Saevatorium.

Saeva's power and influence grows along with the user's Magic Attribute. The user is forced to allocate a minimum of 10% of all gained stat points to the Magic Attribute (Directly towards Saevatorium.) starting with a minimum of 10 points upon Character Creation. Once the user's Magic Attribute reaches 45, Saeva assumes full domination of the user's lifeform and claims the user's body as an Avatar of herself seeking to reunite with the Black Mage in order to bolster his powers. Seeing as the entity of Saeva is a product/manifestation of a portion of the Black Mage's will, she has no free choice in her destiny regardless of her personality.
