This meant that if he was going to train them in earnest, the first thing he had to do was prepare his body through stretching. It was only now that this was completed that he could begin the process of utilizing his magic. Jove would start with the first thing that he would need to do in order to even use the magic, something taught to him by Lucifer. "Superbia." With that, Jove's body immediately glowed a bright red and transformed. He had fused with Lucifer, and had thus taken on some of the demons characteristics. Yet in doing so, he could now utilize the magic in order to create his spells.
- Spells Used:
- Name: Lucifer Takeover: Superbia
Rank: D-Z (Scales with rank)
Mana Cost: N/A
Requirements: Lucifer Takeover
Type: Transformation
Element: Fire
Range: Self
Cooldown: 1 Post
Duration: Sustain
Effect: This spell is activated by Jove uttering the word "Superbia". Instantly, Jove and Lucifer's essences merge. This causes Jove's hair to grow down his back, two horns to sprout from the front of his skull, and red wings to sprout from his back. These wings do not allow for flight without the use of a spell. This buffs Jove's intelligence with a buff equivalent to his rank. The user receives Minor Resistance to Fire when transformed. The user receives 1 post cooldown reduction at B-Rank, and 2 post cooldown reduction at S-Rank.

Rather than sustaining the spell, Jove immediately let it dissipate. Moving from his spot in a dash backwards, he would tap his foot down in order to stop his backwards momentum. As he slid back, the same ball of plasma exploded from his body in all directions. This time he would continue to supply it with mana, and even he himself felt its effects. It was an immediate addition of exhaustion to his muscles. It wasn't that it reduced his stamina, yet he could actually feel and understand that he had just become physically weaker. His breathing had immediately picked up, and the ragged breaths were a clear sign that his spell had worked.

- Name: Sinful Indulgence
Rank: A
Mana Cost: 200
Requirements: Takeover: Lucifer
Type: AoE Debuff
Element: Fire
Range: Self
Cooldown: 4 Posts
Duration: Sustain
Effect: Jove taps his foot upon the ground, via either the motion of one tapping their feet or through a stomp. This create a magic circle below his feet that is pitch black, about eight meters in diameter. Once done, a plasma like fire erupts from his core. This plasma extends in all directions, offering a moderate heat that can be described as uncomfortable at best. The plasma is of a transparent burnt orange color. The heat seeps into the body of anyone within range. The individuals within an four meter range of Jove suffer A rank debuff to their strength while the spell is sustained. The AoE itself does not move after used, but the debuff stays in effect on the users so long as they are within effective range of Jove. This includes Jove. Individuals who are under the effect of this spell who exceed 20 meters from Jove are no longer under the effect, and would have to re-enter the 4m range of the spell in order to fall under its effects once more.

So as he released the debuff he had just used, he turned and began to dash through the trees. He moved quickly, dodging between the thick trunks before leaping and spinning his body. As he faced backwards he clenched his fist, and as his momentum spun him around he opened his fist and slammed his open palm into the thickest tree in the surrounding area. His strength, paired with the explosion of fire from his palm, made any resistance from the tree disappear entirely. He felt as if his hand had blown through Styrofoam, and as the bulky tree fell he continued to sprint through the forest.
Further away he moved from the opening in which he had begun his training, and as he moved he continued with a series of the attack he just used and the debuffs, tapping either foot on the ground while he moved in the form of the very steps he was taking to move. This sort of training was one that had begun quickly exhausting him, but this wasn't combat. The rules that would normally dictate how he moved and carried himself did not apply here. Instead, he would continued this practice for a short while until he was prepared to sprinkle in the next spell.

Effect: Jove clenches his hand, which ignites a red flame around his hand, and creates a two meter magic circle above the back of his fist which is black. He then opens his fist, his hand now glowing with this red fire. Upon his next impact with an opponent, the red fire spikes forward.

He sighed deeply, conflicted with what to do. On one hand, if he stayed out here he would likely be put into a dangerous situation for which he did not have the energy to tackle. On the other, he had come out here specifically in order to train his spells. Was he really going to go back now when the perfect opportunity for him to learn and grow likely existed in the emptiness before him?
Instead, Jove decide that he was going to embrace this head on. Sprinting forward, and reaching full gait in a matter of seconds, he was propelling himself away from the city faster than some merchants mounts. He continued like this for several minutes, his breathing and heartrate accelerating, but soon hitting a stride that would allow him to continue on like this for quite a while without too much issue. He would maintain this full sprint through the woods for a total of five minutes before finally reaching an area that he felt would satisfy what he was looking for in the woods. Coming to a halt once more, he began to walk slowly and catch his breath. It was now just a matter of time before the circumstance arose that he would be able to train himself.
During this time, Jove continued to work on circulating his mana. He was in takeover form, and the creatures of the woods very well may not have identified him as human. What sort of human had they seen with horns and wings? Perhaps they had encountered demons out here before, but then it all depended on the quality of demon. That would determine what would happen from this point out. Would the creatures of the woods avoid him as a dangerous predator, or come to him as an unknown, yet weak, prey?
As he continued forward, he seemed that he wouldn't have to wait long to get his answer. He had made his way to a spot that was a bit denser than the rest, surrounding him on all sides by bush and tree and all sorts of growth in between. He had made it here before he froze and listened intently, straining his still humanlike hearing in order to verify his suspicions. It was during this time that he realized he needed to come up with ways to better his sensory abilities, but that would have to wait.
What he heard was a roaring silence. The bugs had grown silent, the birds had stopped their singing, and the occasional rustling of leaves and snapping of branches had disappeared entirely. This meant one of two things. Either Jove was identified as a dangerous predator and forced the forest to grow silent in anticipation, or the dangerous predator had entered the area and the animals grew silent as to not draw its ire. If that was the case, then the only one who had been making noise was Jove, and that meant that he was soon going to be targeted.

Whether that meant this was just one of many that Jove would have to contest with, or whether that meant that this creature had others it had to protect and provide for, that meant that he was at a greater risk than if this was just a loan monster driven by hunger. Clicking his tongue in frustration, his action contrasted entirely with the grin that had spread to his face. It seemed that the threat excited him, though whether that was him or the influence of Lucifer was up for debate.
As he landed, his foot came into contact with the ground and a ball of plasma erupted from his core. The plasma quickly engulfed the troll as it had turned its focus to him again, and as it went to swing the club it immediately noticed that the attack became much sloppier. The club didn't swing nearly fast or strong enough, and so as it swung Jove twisted his body into it. His fist had closed tight, a second magic circle appearing, and as he propelled his hand forward his fist opened into a palm strike. His hand struck the club, and the explosion of fire blew the club backwards and out of the trolls weakened grasp. Since this threw the trolls arm back, the creatures entire balance was off. This was something Jove couldn't let slip by.
He had already reentered his martial stance, and due to that there was nearly no delay. Lifting his foot and sending a traditional taekwando kick to the creatures midsection, the weakened mage was not nearly strong enough to cause serious damage. However, the true goal was the next spell which he had used in conjunction with the kick. Since the kick landed directly on the troll, there was no room to block. The debuff exited his foot and immediately entered the massive frame of the beast. Rather than focusing on its strength, which had already been dealt with and was being sustained, this one attacked the creatures constitution. This was such a powerful spell due to the fact that while the troll would feel damage the same, due to its endurance remaining untouched, it would collapse much sooner than it would otherwise.
Also, unlike the area of effect spell he had used first which effected himself, this one was single target. Rather than both suffering the drop in constitution, it would only be the troll.
Due to the weakened state of his kick, however, the troll suffered minimum damage. It had taken a step back, but it had also sent a mighty underhand punch at Jove's midsection. This creatures fist was easily as big as his head, and so when the massive closed fist of the troll collided with his chest, Jove was lifted from his feet and flung back a meter. Landing and rolling backwards to minimize damage and quickly get back to his feet, he stood still and stared at the creature. He had suffered damage, but it was now in a weakened and vulnerable state. The fight would be settled soon, and with his final spell which he needed to train.

Effect: Jove activates this spell with a kick, a black magic circle forming behind his leg when he does so. This magic circle has a diameter of one meter. The spell travels outwards from Jove in an arc which is half a meter in diameter, and half a meter long. The spell, on impact, debuffs the users constitution. If it lands, Jove can sustain the spell so long as the enemy remains within range of him. Hells Toil originates from Jove's foot and travels out to its maximum possible range, or until it collides with an individual.

Still, back to the point, the troll was stronger. This meant it didn't feel the need to turn away from Jove and grab its weapon. Rather, due to the difference in strength, it'd be shameful to turn its back on an enemy in order to rush for its weapon. It was far more impressive to continue fighting like this, continue to brush off the strange techniques of the not so human humanoid, and to win the battle with its bare fists. This made complete sense to the troll, but would be its downfall.
As it moved forward on Jove, it grabbed at him in what appeared to be an attempted bear hug. Jove easily was able to shoot around the side of the troll, dodging the slow grab and utilizing the fact that the creature was much larger than he was. At this point, nearly point blank, Jove opened his jaw wide. A magic circle formed, and an orb also appeared in the middle of his mouth which was small, condensed, and bright red. Without any sort of delay, a massive two meter in diameter orb appeared in front of Jove, shooting outwards. It did so in a way that avoided contacting him at all, and yet formed with such speed that it must have grown as it moved away from his body in a nearly perfect 1:1 ratio, ensuring full size and the safety of its user.
This sphere collided with the troll and immediately blew a major hole in its side. It was a powerful creature, but it neither used magic nor possessed any resistance to fire. On the contrary, it seemed possible that it was actually more susceptible to the flames. Perhaps it was an elemental advantage?
The creature fell to its knees, then forward onto the ground. It looked back, over itself, at Jove standing above it. Its eyes were not sad, and through the pain it looked to have a sense of respect. This creature was, at the end of the day, a warrior. It respected the one who bested it in combat, and Jove knew the only way to honor it was by treating it as a warrior. He would nod towards it, and as the creature smiled, it drew its final breath. It died so that Jove may continue to grow, and for that, he would remember the troll.

Effect: Jove opens his mouth wide, revealing a small red orb at the center of his open mouth. This is also highlighted by the black magic circle which appears directly in front of his mouth, which is clearly visible yet transparent enough to still see through and into his mouth. The magic circle is around three centimeters in front of his mouth, and 2 meters in diameter. Instantly, the orb rockets out away from Jove's mouth, traveling in its condensed form at the enemy. The orb forms outside of Jove's face, ensuring no damage happens to him, utilizing the magic circle as its starting point.
