The Chocobo Champion
Combat Rules
1. All fights must have their outcome decided beforehand.
2. The rule of cool is what matters, but it should still be realistic. This isn’t Naruto.
3. Don’t auto-hit, power-play, or any of that annoying shit.
4. If you can’t decide on an outcome I’ll decide myself.

Magic
When a human is born, they begin their lives with a set amount of natural magic power. This amount never changes as they grow. However, they can learn to use the amount they’re born with more efficiently, allowing even those born with very little magic to become mages. However, most mages must focus their efforts into learning one branch of their desired magic.
The way to gauge the power of magic is relatively simple. The longer it takes to cast a spell, the more powerful it is. However, casting a spell requires deep concentration, which can easily be interrupted.
When choose what you want your character to specialize in, you have a few options in how you do it. You can either choose one branch of magic to have access to advanced spells in, or you can choose two branches, but only begin with basic and intermediate spells for both branches. Either way, you will have opportunities to increase your characters knowledge of magic throughout the rp.
Branches of Magic
Black Magic:
Fire - Fire magic is all about destroying things. Mages that wan’t to see a big boom use fire magic. Advanced Fire magic allows for use of lightning spells.
Water - Water magic has more uses than pure destruction. But can be just as dangerous as fire magic. Advanced water magic can be used to cast ice spells.
Wind - Wind magic isn’t as powerful as the other types of magic in terms of raw strength, but it’s ability to be casted so quickly and precisely is what makes it so excellent. Advanced wind magic consists of spells that show the hidden destructive might of wind magic.
Dark - Mages who practice dark magic aren’t generally looked upon fondly. Dark magic is rare, and difficult to master. This type of magic rarely deals direct damage to its targets, but inflicts them with harmful effects instead. Advanced dark magic consists of 'life-stealing' and terrible curses.
White Magic:
Healing - The most valued magic in Lunacresta. Being able to repair the bodies of others and oneself is invaluable. Almost any wound can be healed if the mage is skilled enough. Advanced healing magic consists of wide area healing and bringing the dead back to life. Some deaths, however, cannot be reversed.
Enhancement - The most variable branch of magic. Enhancement magic allows the mage to strengthen either an allies body, or an allies equipment. A sword can be given an elemental increase in power, or a shield can be made sturdier. Advanced enhancement magic allows one to enhance the abilities or equipment of a group of individuals. All enhancement spells have to be actively maintained by the caster. This magic is what allows you to pull of that anime shit.
Light - This form of magic is considered Holy in the West. It can purge individuals of sickness and magical inflictions, as well as form defensive barriers to protect others or themselves. Advanced light magic allows for the purging of undead.

Styles of Magic
Each kingdom possess their own style of magic. Each has their own pros and cons. The three styles of magic are listed below.
Tomes: Used by the Rivienne Kingdom, tomes are an excellent way to use magic. Tomes themselves often have varying amounts of magic within them, allowing for the user to make their spells more powerful that they could otherwise. The drawbacks are that using spells from a tome takes a longer time than the other styles. Tomes often times contain unique spells of their own, and can prove to be very powerful.
Paper Tags: Used by the Clans of Feurey, paper tags are a swift way to cast spells. Each tag has a spell on it, and by using the tag, one can quickly cast a spell. However, increasing the amount of tags used at once will create a more powerful spell at the cost of some speed. Overall tags are a fast method to use magic, but aren’t quite as potent. Nonetheless, an adept tag user will always be ready to cast a spell without delay and no need for page flipping or weaving.
Weaving: In the Kingdom of Ventin, mages weave their spells. They can weave it into the air, they can weave it into the ground, or they could weave it into one’s body. Each spell has their own symbol, and the stronger spells always take larger and more elaborate symbols to cast. What makes these symbols so great is that once written out, the user can transfer the symbols onto a surface to be used later. Doing this permanently takes a portion of ones magic until the spell is cast. To activate one of these spells, the conditions usually vary. Some symbols are meant to be traps, and will activate by touch. Others may require external magic to activate. Overall, weaving is the most versatile form of magic, but it is the most inefficient.
