I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED IT! That took so much longer than I thought it would. [@Jones Sparrow] Let me know what edits you'd like me to make. I was trying to come up with an interesting magic, but if you don't like it I can always change it to where she only uses the sword. Just let me know!

This only works if she can maintain skin-to-skin contact with her victim while casting and the spell is broken when the enemy breaks away. This spell can [b]NEVER[/b] kill an opponent, only drain their energy reserves. [b]Astral Transfer[/b] – Calliope can transfer her own magical energy to an ally through continuous physical contact. She doesn’t use this spell often because she doesn’t like to feel helpless. This spell can [b]NEVER[/b] kill Calliope, only drain her energy reserves. [color=7bcdc8][b]Bio:[/b][/color] Calliope was born one bright, sunny day in summer and was then promptly discarded into the nearest alley way. Fortunately for her, said alley was adjacent to the home of Caister’s best blacksmith and it did not take long for Atlas Cross to hear the tiny babe's caterwauling and for him to have mercy on the little one. Atlas adopted the little girl and raised her as his own. The blacksmith was a bachelor, so Calliope had no mother, but that was fine by her. She spent afternoons helping her father in the shop, fawning over the local mage’s magical weapons whenever they stopped by. She was enamored with all things magical and began to dream of one day joining a guild herself. Atlas, hoping to distract the girl from this dream, gave the girl her first non-enchanted sword on her fourteenth birthday. As she cradled the sword in her hands, Calliope knew she had found her calling. After that, Calliope spent all of her spare time practicing. She grew stronger, but still envied the magic items of the guild members. Then one day, when Calliope was eighteen, someone sold her father a magic sword. The teenager begged her father to let her have it and Atlas finally relented, even though he wasn’t sure his adopted daughter would even have the magical ability to wield it. She did, but just barely. The sword drained what little magic energy she had very quickly, so she worked with it every day to build her tolerance. When she turned nineteen, Calliope finally told her father that she was going to join The Silver Trident. Atlas tried to talk her out of it, knowing firsthand how dangerous a mage’s life could be, but she was determined. The night before she left, Atlas sat Calliope down and told her about the astral transfer magic that had been passed down in his family for generations and how he wanted to give it to her. He reached out and held her at the inside of her left forearm. There was a bright flash of light and it was finished, the blacksmith had permanently transferred all of his magic to his daughter, leaving him powerless. When he removed his hand, their family magic rune had been tattooed on her arm in red. Calliope left home the next day and began the process of joining the Silver Trident. She still visits her father regularly. [color=7bcdc8][b]Personality:[/b] [/color]Calliope has an adventurous spirit, thrives on action, and loves anything that gets her adrenaline up. This of course makes her a bit of a risk taker, which often gets her into sticky situations. It also means that she can get bored easily if she feels like she isn't doing something productive. She also [b]loves[/b] to spar. She doesn't feel like swinging swords at a practice dummy improves her skill at all, so anytime someone offers to train with her, she jumps on it. [color=7bcdc8][b]Relationship:[/b][/color] Just her father for now, though she wants to make new friends. [color=7bcdc8][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] [b]Dawnstar Sword[/b] – An old Kanata style sword, it uses flame magic during the day and ice magic at night. Constantly drains magic from the user and slowly losses power until becomes just a regular sword once its owner’s reserves are fully depleted. [color=7bcdc8][b]Extra:[/b][/color] [hider=Magic Rune Tattoo] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0b/f1/20/0bf1200fd9f92a19a7b40a3e93d01add.jpg[/img] [/hider] Calliope is just getting the hang of her astral drain/transfer magic, so she often asks fellow guild members to let her practice it on them. [/hider] Yes, I named her sword after a town in Skyrim. :P Also, do we live in dorms in the guild hall, or do we have our own separate places in the city?
