Okay, so, I'm frankly kinda confused. I'm interested in a fantasy RP at the moment since I want to practice writing with magic, but I'm not 100% in the know about Fairy Tale and how everything works, so I'm going to throw out a few questions and the rough idea I have for a character to see how things would work.

1: The Fairy Tale wiki barely mentions anything about mage ranks or what kind of power they would have aside from "A lot." Could someone please clarify what exactly the standards are for this thread?

2: Would this work?

The character I'm planning would be a "leader" type character. If you've played Dungeons and Dragons, think of the Warlord. [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/02/1f/aa/021faa230e4508c89a7aaa1c63f300dd.jpg]Here's her image.[/url]

The main thing I'd be thinking would be something along the lines of "shouts of power" or something akin to that. Like in the original Dawn of War where, if you upgrade a squad with a sergeant and use his "Rally Squad" ability, he can shout several things like "You will stand your ground!" and "Rally Squad!" among other things. [url=https://youtu.be/hqFcGhQ1V4A]See here.[/url] and [url=https://youtu.be/nb6cSEI1FLk]here[/url] for examples.

I don't really know if this kind of magic would work in the Fairy Tale world. I was going to have the "shouts of power" be caster magic, though disguised as holder magic, specifically the gemstone in the pommel of her sword. The other thing would be a sort of "Repair" magic, which would keep her equipment in good shape and allow her to heal faster. 

Would that work? The Wiki and watching a few episodes doesn't really bring a lot of clarity to what you can and cannot do.

I’m not a member of the RP, yet, but I believe I can help you.

 Rank is a relative term, really. If you haven’t seen much of the anime its hard to describe. For example, Gajeel in Phantom Lord is the equivalent of their S rank, but in Fairy Tail, he would be considered A rank.

But generally 

C = Barely competent, one trick pony. Think small fireballs and low MP

B = Most mages. Your run of the mill mage would be found here. Actual power varies widely. Think large fireballs and medium MP

A = Very strong, magic power easily equal to a small army (20+ Men) Think Powerful Fire and High MP

S is weird, power is a strong factor, but mostly it has to do with trust and personal ability. Judgment, skill, trustworthyness ect. Only given to a few mages.

Magic, caster or holder, tends to have a theme, and everything they can do stems from that theme. So, design your magic accordingly. Fire Dragon Slayer, Ice Make, Requip ect. In the Fairy Tail universe, buffing and healing magics are extremely rare. (And not slayer “rare”, I’m talking we know [i]one[/i] canon character with similar abilities. And her healing and buffing abilities are very limited.) But its up to the GM’s discretion on that.
