Magic

Name: Naki-dōji the Oni Spirit

Element: Arcane

Category: Single

Quantity: Limited

Description: Oni are terrifying mythical beings that hold a notorious reputation for possessing great power and haunting the locals in their territory for entertainment. In ancient times, deals would be struck between Warrior and Oni looking to receive their powers for a fight ahead, many would fall prey to the allure of this strength with minimum cost. Naki-dōji is one such example of a more benevolent Oni who betrays their original purpose as a vessel of death, to observe the beauty of life by offering its services with the request to experience the highest and lowest points humanity has to offer. As a representative of death, they are represented by their inescapable naginata capable of cutting down any that oppose the wielder and their mask which depicts the certain doom of those that come across them. While unmistakeably a powerful offering to receive, Naki-dōji is fundamentally very fickle and will not hesitate to kill their host if they grow bored of them to find another more entertaining prospective individual.

Drawback: Upon acquiring Demon Soul: Naki-dōji the Oni Spirit, the user is effectively on a ticking clock until Naki-dōji desires to relinquish the powers received and end their life in the process. Only being able to extend this time by doing risky feats, the user will start thrusting themselves into life-threatening adventurers and act without forethought on the outcomes that might fall upon them as a result.

Skills

Naki-dōji's Naginata: The user may withdraw their Naginata from nothingness allowing them to get weapon mastery with their magic without the holder magic enhancement. If they already possess a melee weapon then that weapon will take on the appearance and apply the effects and drawbacks of the Naginata on top of their current weapon.
Breath of Life - Revival: Upon being knocked out, the user may revive themselves with their base durability being restored to 2x S-Rank while retaining any limb-based damage they might have received. In this state, they can not be healed, however any debuff or active negative effects will apply to the user's targets as long as they are within spell range for them to apply.
Mibu Breathing Technique: The user's debuff spells will double in range with single target spells becoming Area of Effect.

Details

Description: A weapon that is said to be the representation of death incarnate, it can not be truly wielded by anyone besides the Oni themselves with only a portion of its power being available to the user. Absent of any ornamentation save for that which previous wielders placed upon it, the naginata is rather plain to see upon first inspection, however its terrible bite more than makes up for it.

Drawback:

Heavy Conscious: When wielding Naki-dōji's Naginata, it will always be considered a two-handed weapon preventing the user from using their off-hand slot.

Effects

Painful Affiliction: When striking with the Naki-dōji's Naginata, any strikes that are inflicted will leave a lasting impression causing the target to receive damage equal to one rank lower than the damage dealt each turn for three turns, additional strikes on the same limb will not cause the effect to stack in duration but reset instead.

Minor Arcane Resistance: The user receives a Minor Resistance versus Arcane. The resistance is replaced by Moderate Resistance during the transformation.
