Some adventurers, after reaching a personal goal in their adventuring careers, choose to retire or pursue other work in Aria. As a highly experienced Lightning Mage, Tasha chose to become an instructor for the Arcane Tower after attaining A Rank. She teaches the intricacies of advanced air magic to many of the Tower’s brightest students and future adventurers.

The dungeon relic that took her to arcana rank A is called Lightning Gear “Tantalus”. It’s a suit of skintight armor that provides excellent elemental and physical protection while also storing air aspected essence for later use. This allows it to, for a short time, enhance all of Tasha’s air magic to truly terrifying levels. It has the unfortunate side effect of destroying even the most hardy magical clothes and light armor in the process, so very often after a serious battle she would return wearing nothing but the suit. She’s able to remove it via an intensive, hour long meditation that causes it to unravel in spirals, but due to laziness she often goes for long periods of time without removing it.

She wishes she could get a stable boyfriend, but her combination of laziness over daily tasks and intensity over subjects she cares about make her too much of a roller-coaster for most suitors.

I just wanna give a shout-out to Spellcross as a manga to keep your eye on for a good read. Its rough animations are more than made up for by its excellent story. There’s a saying when creating a magic system “deeper, not wider.” Which ties with the phrase “As wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle.”

Spellcross is a shining example of how, if you put enough thought into your magic system you can make something truly spectacular.

The story is about an Alchemist who is terrified of fighting, but in order to hone his craft has to join a party and start clearing dungeons.

There’s a simple honesty to Spellcross and its themes that has me completely captivated right now. I give it a full, whole-hearted reccomendation for anyone who’s a fan of fantasy stories.

the quaint novelty of the fair had lost its appeal for the nomad. she had grown indifferent to the fragrant perfumes and twinkling lights that were once pleasant, having since blurred into a dull hum around her. it never took long for genevieve to grow antsy, and the fair proved that a mundane holiday hardly changed that. a smirk flitted across her lips when she spotted the witch from the forest. the other woman’s gumption had made an impression, just as her commitment to the rules had perplexed her. she could hardly reconcile freedom with their presence in the seelie realm, but that was of little consequence now as she noticed the space said witch was occupying. the charms stall – perfect. perhaps something there would provide her with a spark of ingenuity. flagrantly breaking the rules was no longer an option — xie had seen to that — so creativity would have to become her friend. ❛ let's say i wanted to hypothetically break the rules in a way that doesn’t involve desecrating your property, what charm would you recommend? ❜  she gestured to the items on the table. ❛ in the spirit of the holiday, of course. ❜

Daylight rings were a necessity in Young’s opinion and who better to ask than the resident witch. Warlocks could make them shouldn’t she be able to. There were a few here from what he had found out. So it wasn’t as if he had any shortage of options. Even if all the vampires here had them it was always best to have spares. He never knew who may turn up and in need of one. He had also heard the one of the resident newborns was lacking one and potentially doesn’t even know of their existence. Young had an interesting relationship with witches. Since he had been cursed to become the first vampire his initial opinion was very negative. As the years turned into decades, into centuries he started seeing the curse as a benefit. When he managed to befriend a witch that created the daylight ring for him his relationship with them had been mended for the better. Though he was always aware of their potential. He waited patiently for the witch to open the door, if she did. There was always a chance she wasn’t a fan of Vampires. He would find out soon enough. As she opened the door he smiled. She was cute. ❝Hey, I have a few requests of you and I was hoping you would hear them out,❞ he greeted. ❝I’ll pay well,❞ he added. Money was usually a good motivator.

The witch, Darcy, had been nice to him and she did say he could come to her if he needed a hand with something. What he was going to ask for might not exactly be what she pictured him asking for. However he had a feeling Matthew was not just tormenting him. He had no solid proof it was just a thought someone like him couldn’t be happy with tormenting just one person. He also wanted to make sure he confessed all his sins so he can take punishment for them. Kai would then get his own justice by draining him the same way he did. Blood for literal blood. Kai should really thank him for doing so. It allowed him to leave his pathetic weak self behind and finally able to act against him. He bet the man hardly knew what the word consequences meant. Well he planned to teach it to him. Kai also knew that those close to him would not want him to stay this way so would also be inclined to help. He knocked on Darcy’s door and put his hands back in his pockets.

Witches were magic casters too though different from warlocks. He needed to get a broader picture. He knew magic wasn’t just magic there were different kinds of magic. The interacted differently too. Alek mildly dreaded this one because a witch had managed to bind him previously. Darcy, however, was younger than the one that bound him. He was also here with death herself and he knew if she found out that she wouldn’t take well to that fact. He knocked on Darcy’s door someone had nicely pointed the way for him and waited for the young witch to answer.

Spellcross Character Design - “Rafflesia Princess” Ashlotte

Ashlotte is a Nature Mage, wielding Earth and Water equally to create and manipulate plant matter of all varieties. She is a successful adventurer whose only wish is to reign at the top, and her ambitions have taken her all the way to the top of A Rank. Many would be content with the riches and status that come from A Rank, but not her. She’s one of only a handful in the entire Dungeon Explorer’s Guild who seeks to gain AA Rank and head to the Abyss. Those who have partied with her often cracks jokes about her “thorny” personality, and feel pity for the AA rankers who may eventually be subjected to her demanding presence.

A large part of her success is thanks to a AA ranked relic called the Thorn Augur: an enchanted whip which can create thorn blades anywhere along its length at her command. It serves as equal parts disabling and damaging as enemies get wrapped in piercing thorns in seconds.

She’d heard whispers. Maybe she was imagining them but there was a certain pull leading Hannah through the Seelie realm. Her feet had learned where to go before she could think it through. Perhaps that was a benefit of actually finding her way through the woods and into the thick of it where others were gathered. There was a sense of chaos even in the quiet. Something was happening, something she wasn’t yet privy to. And that was likely for the best really. She’d not been here long enough to start meddling in the affairs of complete and total strangers. It was more important to get her bearings first. Even so, something in the woman she saw in front of her called out to her. “Hey! Excuse me?" she asked the woman. “I think I got a little turned around again. I’m looking for... I don’t know, actually,” she admitted as the realization struck.
