[@Vec] for Melantha
[hider]
In general I think you would do well to put more weight behind the concept of 'darkness of the soul and darkness within beings' rather than just the physical lack of light. Your sheet does hint at this in a few places, though. What if you added this to your Sphere? Right now all your Sphere does is color inside the lines with a black crayon. Sure it's fitting that your Sphere can claim to be the source of darkness between the stars, but could you think of an effect more meaningful? As things are, Galbar would literally be the exact same if your Sphere didn't even exist, so you're not using it to its potential.

On to Portfolio, then--darkness is good and it makes sense, but I'll reiterate my suggestion that you focus more on the subtler emotional meanings of the word. Concerning abilities, the one that you call Darkness Mimicry definitely constitutes a new form, but it's not overpowered and so it'd only cost 1MP, which gets discounted to 0MP because of your Portfolio. So you can start with this additional form for free, but just note that it [i]is[/i] a separate form and is subject to the rules concerning separate forms, namely that it takes time to switch and that you can't instantly shapeshift in combat. Absolute Darkness is great; it's what I expect from a Darkness Portfolio. Darkness Attacks is [i]not[/i] good. We think it's too vague and broad. BBeast had a good line, " From the Power Wiki entry, it is normal attack magic painted black. Just like Vestec's chaos magic was normal attack magic painted all the colours at once. It rubs me wrong because it really has nothing at all to do with darkness...Melantha would of course have the power to manipulate Darkness in more mundane ways, but darkness is immaterial and incorporeal so should be useless for physical attacks."

Though this might not go on your sheet, I would also like you to think about things that you'll have Melantha do early on. In the Age of Creation, how will she "spread darkness" to further her ambition? There's certainly potential, but I just want you to have a few ideas ready so that you aren't stuck twiddling your thumbs on the first few turns.

Sheet rejected for now, but consider it accepted upon removal (or significant change) of the Darkness Attacks part. We'd also really like to see some more stuff for your Sphere and perhaps a slightly different angle on the Darkness Portfolio.
