Elemental Conversion is a transmutation magic that Kaden has been working on. At its core, the magic utilizes the mage’s ability to - as the name implies - convert an element into another element. Generally speaking this has mostly been applied in combat situations, deflecting an element being used against the mage and redirecting it back at the original caster in a different form. Given the core nature of the magic, the mage utilizing it needs to have experience in both the element’s starting form and the ending form. [b][color=OrangeRed]Spells:[/color][/b] [hider=List][color=OrangeRed]- (Sucking/Expelling) Vortex:[/color] Sucking Vortex: The user summons up a tornado with them at the center. The wind is strong enough to pull things that aren’t secured in from up to twenty feet away and can be maintained with concentration. Expelling Vortex is the inverse of Sucking Vortex. User creates a tornado of wind that pushes out from their palm. Lasts for only a few moments but has enough force to launch someone a few dozen feet into the air or just sending them tumbling backwards. Mostly useful for quickly knocking someone away from user. [color=OrangeRed]- Aeria Dome:[/color] The user creates a dome, lowering the oxygen within the affected area and as a result, suffocating all inside due to the lack of oxygen in the environment; as the pressure has been altered inside the dome, those within it experience a sharp pain in their ears. [color=OrangeRed]- Calamitous Lightning:[/color] The user rushes at the target and releases a large burst of lightning from their fist as they strike, sending the energy into the target at point blank range. [color=OrangeRed]- Lightning Strike:[/color] The user raises their hand over their head and summons up a large ball of electricity. The user then directs the electricity with the hand they had raised, effectively turning the ball of electricity into a highly charged bolt of lightning. [color=OrangeRed]- Razor Bolts:[/color] The user crosses their arms over their chest and summons up lightning around their body. Uncrossing their arms shoots dozens of bolts of lightning out from them, striking anything in their path that can cut or pierce objects as if the bolts of hot energy were hot blades. [color=OrangeRed]- Firestorm[/color]: User summons up fire and heat around them. The fire starts spinning into a whirlwind as it builds into the sky. Clouds will start to form overhead, resonating with thunder and streaks of lightning. Upon calling out the spell’s name, the whirlwind of flames and heat will expand from around the user up to 100 feet away from them at the center. Bolts of lightning will rain down from the clouds. The tornado of flames can be powerful enough and hot enough to caution others from approaching, but does not prevent it. The spell is a taxing combination of the three elements; users advised to use sparingly, and cannot use other spells while this is charging. [color=OrangeRed]- Flame Cannon:[/color] User generates balls of fire in both their hands then brings them together, aimed in a direction they wish to shoot the flames. The flames shoot out with such force as to knock the target back with great force and injure them from both the impact of the attack and the heat of the flames. [color=OrangeRed]- Burning Fist:[/color] User summons fire around their fist, and uses it to punch the target with great force. [color=OrangeRed]- Flame Tornado:[/color] By spreading their arms and summoning up fire in front of them, the user then pushes their arms outward in front of them and launches a swirling vortex of hot air at their target. This tornado can toss lightweight debris into the air and light easily ignitable objects on fire; it can do a lot of damage both from the intense heat and sending the target into the sky, which will cause them to fall back to the ground when the tornado dissipates and create its own problems if the target cannot slow/stop their fall or cushion their landing. [color=OrangeRed]- Elemental Conversion: (element) to (element):[/color] Difficult to use, harder to master - this spell allows the user to redirect an element while converting it into another element. The further from the base element the attack is converted, the more difficult it is to do and the more magic it takes to convert it.

Can take a single heavy hit or a few milder hits before the item needs to recharge.) Knuckle Dusters - normal metal knuckle dusters to help him land a harder hit without magic [b][color=OrangeRed]Strengths:[/color][/b] [u][color=tomato][b]Determined:[/b][/color][/u] Whether it’s trying to learn a new magic, or trying to solve a problem, once he puts his mind to something, Kaden isn’t willing to let anything get in his way to accomplish it. He puts his whole self into any undertaking, and doesn’t let anyone stop him from achieving his goal. [u][color=tomato][b]High Endurance/Combat Training:[/b][/color][/u] A lot of magical prowess allows him to keep using magic and use stronger magic than others might expect from him, but it isn’t everything to a fight. Kaden has trained a lot to be able to continue fighting after he’s used up his magic. The training wasn’t just to be able to fight without his magic, but to take a hit and keep going. Oh, it hurts, but you gotta ignore the pain and keep going to get the job done - and that’s what he learned to do. [u][color=tomato][b]Creative:[/b][/color][/u] Whether it’s a matter of finding a solution to a problem, or just ways to kill time, Kaden doesn’t usually do things the way most people might approach a problem. He’s more apt to improvise in a fight than come up with a steadfast plan. But it’s not just combat. He secretly is quite fond of drawing and if there’s nothing happening there’s a chance he might be found hanging out in a garden or park drawing or painting instead of trying to pick up his next bedmate. [u][color=tomato][b]Helpful:[/b][/color][/u] It might not look like it, but he does like helping others out. As much as he loves to fight, if he realizes someone’s looking to get stronger, he’ll be the one offering to train more with them. His bits of encouragement might not come off as...well...nice or encouraging, but sometimes it’s just because he knows more about how to be a dick than an actual nice person. [b][color=OrangeRed]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] [u][color=tomato][b]Egotistical/Overconfident:[/b][/color][/u] It isn’t enough that he is strong. He hasn’t met a task he hasn’t been 100% sure he could accomplish. It does happen to mean losses hurt more than they should when he fails, but it also means he’ll keep fighting even when better sense says not to. It’s what drives him in a fight, and most of why he’ll keep pushing himself until he can’t move any more. [u][color=tomato][b]Inattentive ADHD:[/b][/color][/u] Kaden’s attention is fleeting at best. When it comes to a fight he can stay focused, but when the excitement is low he has trouble staying on task. His mind drifts often, especially when it comes to complicated things. If someone expects him to be able to follow a plan, they’re better off expecting him to improvise his part and just calculate for what he might do instead; any plan that involves him following it will be abandoned after the first part. [u][color=tomato][b]Ruthless:[/b][/color][/u] He likes to think it takes a lot to ruffle his feathers, but that might just be because he expects people to not take his insults to heart and thus doesn’t take anything anyone else says to heart. The same cannot be said for actions. If someone tresspasses against him or his, he will seek retribution 100 fold. Getting on his bad side is a mistake people make only once. [u][color=tomato][b]Fearless:[/b][/color][/u] Some call it a good thing, but most that have seen someone that is truly fearless know it's not. Kaden doesn’t seem to have anything he’s afraid of, or at least doesn’t act like he does. He will run headfirst into a fight if no one has a better idea to start it, and is willing to throw himself in the way of a hit so someone else won’t take it. Deep down, it’s because he isn’t afraid of what might happen to him. It’s what might happen to someone else if it’s [i]not[/i] him that scares him. If he isn’t the one to die, it means someone else is - and that’s not acceptable. So he puts on the front and is willing to do the dirtiest stuff, take the worst blows, if it means nothing bad will happen to someone else. [b][color=OrangeRed]Personality:[/color][/b] First and foremost, he’s a cocky bastard. That’s not to say he’s not a nice guy or thoughtful, but he is arrogant when it comes to a lot of things, and most things turn into a competition for him. Most times he’s looking for something fun to do, which can typically involve flirting or picking fights or even both at the same time. He loves to socialize, but on his terms. He has a short attention span if something boring is going on and is prone to wandering off in search of something more interesting to do. Following that up, he’s a massive flirt, looking to chat it up with really any female; he’s not too picky when it comes to physical appearance and more looking for a challenge or someone with a sense of humor/fun edge to her. If you can get past the cocky exterior, he is a decent guy...some of the time. He does genuinely care about those in his guild, and doesn’t like to see harm come to anyone that either can’t handle it or doesn’t deserve it. On a mission, it means letting himself get distracted to keep some of the weaker fighters safe. Around the guild, it’s trying to play off that he’s an asshole instead of giving a damn about anyone on a personal level. If people knew he had a soft spot, it could be exploited - at least that’s what he wants to convince himself because it's what makes some of the more powerful Saints so dangerous. [b][color=OrangeRed]History/Bio:[/color][/b] Life was weird for him. He knew growing up that the people taking care of him were his aunt and uncle. He only saw his father when missions brought him that way. Which sparked a desire to learn when he was old enough to get licensed to practice magic. Every time his father stopped by, he’d insist on being able to train a bit more. Until he was ten and his father finally relented to the fact the kid had potential, and brought him to his home in Oshibana. There, he was able to get more training, and get better training. A lot of that training was just him harassing others into fighting him so he could get tougher, but he also started experimenting with magic. He started applying for Steel Hydra, to be in the guild with his dad, when he was 12. After months of the other mages teaching him just how unskilled he was - and him getting better at fighting and stronger at magic in the process - he finally got accepted at 14. He hadn’t thought twice about joining the guild. It was perfect for a stepping stone - two wizard saints, and plenty of missions to hone his skills. It was the fact he was always being compared to his father - not as strong, not as smart - that kept egging him on to take the tougher missions, to keep learning to be better. He transferred to the hall based in Crocus when he was 17, after being able to afford his own place and hoping to find his own niche that didn’t have him still in his father’s footsteps. That was where his Conversion magic came into play. After learning to merge elements - [i]Firestorm[/i] - he began to experiment in crossing them. It gave him some separation from his father’s skill but not enough for him to be happy. Then he heard about the nothing guild from Crocus that destroyed a dragon. A DRAGON! Something he hadn’t been allowed to take for a mission in Steel Hydra because he wasn’t a slayer. This “traditional guild” was going to be his ticket to being noticed. So he decided to resign from Steel Hydra to join up with this new guild and see what they had to offer. [b][color=OrangeRed]Extra:[/color][/b] He has a few scars that he likes to show off and tell people the stories of how he got it. He aspires to be a God of Ishgar - screw just being a Saint.[/center][/hider]
