Lila is now the Aspect of the Maiden after Britney's failed attempt at sealing The Maiden away.  As such, as an Agent Lila now has access to the full power of The Maiden, however, the power she has access to is corruptive.

She no longer needs to offer them gifts or even verbalize her command, she simply needs to think it so and they will do it.  They do like their gifts still, and Lila will get a stronger reaction out of them if she gives them a little something for their struggles.   She can use the crows in three different ways.

From going for the easy spots like a throat or eyes, to completely enveloping a target in an angry swarm, Lila has a few easy ways to hurt someone.  In a fight, she can use her crows to do more complex attacks.  She can have her crows fly together in a tight stream, flowing over and attacking her target as a massive swarm.  Each one will strike with its claws.

In this form, the crows will often fly circles around her in either a loose or tight shell.  The crows will take the brunt of an attack, whether physical or magical, and replenish the shell as needed with fresh bodies.  This shell will also lash out at targets that get too close.

She still can’t understand them, and they can’t communicate with her, however she’s gained the ability to glean information from them.  This is useful when she sends the murder out to scout and or look for something.  She’ll never get the complete picture but she gains something from them all the same.[/list]

She has already begun to develop talons, and feathered arms.  As time goes on she’ll eventually sport the wings, and a more feathered body on her legs, arms, and face.  The maiden has also begin to influence Lila on an emotional level, forcing her own feelings and thoughts into Lila’s mind to push her to let more of The Maiden out.

This has started with the black eyes and the feathered arms and claws of The Maiden appearing on her body.  This augmentation brings with it terrifyingly sharp claws that cut through flesh and armor alike with ease.  As well, she’ll gain strength that pushes her towards peak human strength.  The black eyes also bring with it enhanced vision.   Eventually the maiden will bring further gifts, the extent of them remain to be seen.  Eventually, these gifts will become permanent if Lila uses them too much.

As well, The Maiden knows what Lila should be feeling.  As time goes on, The Maiden’s influence will grow stronger and stronger.  As The Maiden gains influence, she will begin to pull Lila away from the present world and into the realm of The Maiden.

While they are not functional in the sense that she can not fly (she can glide), they bring with it added defenses and a terrifying hex that can turn her enemies into the very crows she controls.  The wings come in two forms, active and inert.  The inert wings are jet black and offer limited applications outside of a shield that Lila can use in a fight.  In their active form they have an enchanting green glow that seems to come from every feather.  This green glow is a curse that compels those that fall under its allure to move towards the wings.  This can achieve a few different things.  Either it will leave the victim open to attacks with get claws and her crows, or she’ll let them get close to grab one of the cursed feathers.  If they pull one from the wing they will have a curse mark burned onto their hands, and will be forced to turn into a crow within the next day[/list][/indent]

This still creates a massive and conspicuous mass of birds that anyone can identify, making stealth [i]very[/i] difficult. The crows are weak against pyromancy, aeromancy, pyromancy, etc., and any other magic area-of-effect magic that can take out a large chunk of them at a time. Because she is more connected to the crows, every time one of them dies or is injured, she [i]feels[/i] their pain and receives a psychic backlash. This psychic backlash is a brief but [i]intense[/i] headache and the more crows are killed at once, the longer and more intense this backlash is - with a large amount of her murder dying at once being enough to knock her unconscious.

However, using the Maiden's abstraction allows the Crow Maiden to be in her mind, and by overusing it, she will allow the Maiden to influence her mind. Eventually, allowing the Maiden to temporarily (or maybe [i]permanently[/i]) take over her body.[/indent][/quote]

Jasper can pull his paintings from canvas and bring them to life with specific purposes.  He needs to paint the figure or object first and channel his intention for it as he does.  If he wanted to create a figure to attack something he would need to channel that attack into his brush as he paints, and if he wanted to create a barrier unit he would need to also channel that defensive intention.  While he can still pull paintings from the canvas without this specific intention, they would be much weaker and melt faster than ones with a specific intention.  Jasper can enhance these constructs by using color.  

Ever since Luca and Jasper came under the constant assault of Skelly, Jasper has learned that even at his fastest his constructs still take too long.  As such, he’s expanded his skill set into creating easy-to-make weaponry and has begun to explore this application of his power further.

[/b] Jasper can pull his paintings from the canvas and bring them to life.  The first step in the creation of any of these constructs is painting the Canvas black.  While he can instead outline the construct with the brush, the spell works best when the entire canvas serves as the channeling surface.  If he chooses to go forward with the outline instead the construct will be weaker and may melt into a puddle of acrylic or oil within a few minutes.  During the process, he must constantly make his intention known and channel it into the paint itself.  By using his channeling power, the oil or acrylic paint will dry instantly and be ready for the next part and he uses the other end of the paintbrush to channel this effect.

Detail is incredibly important in this step.  Any mistake he makes, such as a leg being shorter or disproportional, will make its way into the summoned construct.  The more detail he adds will also make the construct more powerful.  Depending on the situation he can spend three minutes on creating a basic construct that would serve for its intended function, or ten minutes to make an incredibly skilled and powerful construct.  He has practiced the creation of three basic constructs to a near-machine level efficiency and can now get them out in three minutes.  The knight, the paladin, and the ranger.  The knight is modeled after the typical knight in armor with a long two-handed sword.  The Paladin has a large shield and nothing else while having a bulkier armor style than the knight.  The ranger has a longbow and is devoid of any armor. Much like painting the canvas black, he can quickly use his Lux to dry the painting allowing a rapid application of the next layer.

[/b]  If the situation calls for it, Jasper can spend more time on each painting and can add different effects to each one.  The two colors that he focuses on are red and yellow.  The red color is an offensive-focused one.  When he paints the knight's sword, the paladin's shield, or the ranger's arrow if he paints them in a red color he can channel his Lux to give his constructs a fire effect.  The knight's sword is engulfed in flames, the paladin's shield radiates intense heat, and the ranger's arrow explodes in a firey spray. As well, if he paints the Paladin with a yellow hue, or adds yellow to the knight's sword, it makes the construct more durable in those locations.  He can only work with red and yellow paint for this purpose, and he can not combine the colors to combine their properties.

[/b] When he finishes the painting, he can use his paintbrush to pull the construct from the canvas and into the real world.  As they are pulled, they grow in size at a rate of three to one.  Thus, a painting that is two feet by one foot will become a construct that is six feet by three feet.  It is here where any imperfections will be truly highlighted.  The more complex constructs, like the knight, paladin, and ranger, can last five minutes on average, meanwhile, a quick outline without doing the full spell may last a minute at most.

He only uses it to create his constructs and for no other painting.  It, when combined with his lux, ensures that not a drop of paint is left on the bristles after use.  As well, the bristles themselves remain as new as the day he picked it up.  [/list]

[/b] Jasper can take the lessons he has learned in creating his powerful soldiers to create short-lived, but powerful, weaponry for himself and his friends.  These weapons all draw power from his innate connection with his red lux and typically exhibit a powerful fiery effect.  These are not artifacts, and much like his constructs, these will only last for a specific duration before they are turned back into the ink, oil, or paint used to create them.  These weapons follow many of the same rules as his constructs.  He can only have one canvas worth active at any given time, whether that is one or three weapons, they require a high attention to detail, and require Jasper to channel his intention into the weapon.  Colors become even more important for this aspect of his craft, as a plain white hammer will be a plain hammer.t.

 [/b] The first tool that Jasper created with this new focus was a hammer much alike the sledgehammer he bought to defend both himself and Luca.  This hammer is a vivid red color, matching the color of the sun as it descends across the horizon.  It is embellished with fine details with a yellow vine wrapping around most of the handle save for the designated area for his hands.  This hammer is a powerful tool with its enhancements, and any blow that Jasper connects with will create a small but powerful explosion at the point of impact.  The harder he swings the hammer the more powerful the explosion will be.  It is protected with a weak barrier spell from its heat, though this does not mean it will not break down in time.  Indeed, Jasper has tested it to be able to hit a target five times before the barrier breaks and one time more before the hammer is ruined by the heat.   Jasper can paint two such hammers at once, summoning both at the same time.  He can use both however he is not strong enough to truly wield them together.  As such, he will gift the second one to another fighter.

It is a pure defensive instrument that can withstand an enormous amount of punishment.  The shield itself finds detail on the front surface, facing outward from the user. It has numerous decals most resembling his paintbrush, and other tools used in his art and these add a layer of protection for the shield.  While he has been unable to test it against any form of magic, he suspects that it would be at least twice as strong as his paladin’s and able to withstand blows from even the strongest monster for a hit or two at most.  The shield itself draws power from his yellow lux, and if needed he can add in a splash of red to enhance it with a radiating heat that can singe anyone who dares get close.

It is a large, bolt-action-styled rifle-looking weapon that is a combination of colors in both the gun and the painted bullets it fires.  The barrel itself appears to be twisted together, with three noticeable groves that snake down the barrel.  It is a vivid yellow color much like the sun on a hot summer day at noon.  These twists and Yellow lux fuel its stability and durability which allows for the barrel itself to withstand the heat and power of the shots it fires.  The gun is very much his first attempt at creating a weapon like this through his art and there are many unknowns with it.  As such, Jasper opted for the bolt-action style to limit the number of shots he could send before failure, and to test if his magical barriers were even strong enough to withstand the power of the weapon.  The bullets are all colored red, and the spell behind them is designed to help them penetrate a target before exploding inside a moment later. He can only create one of these at a time due to the space needed to get the details right.[/list][/indent]

[b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b] Jasper’s spells have an elemental weakness in the form of water and heat. Water will instantly destroy his constructs and cause them to wash away. Heat will cause them to dry up, lose their mobility, and become more frail until they cannot move. By bringing his art to life, he puts a little of himself into it... As in his life force. By doing so, he will make himself weak, and pushing himself too far can cause organ failure. Drawing requires focus and leaves him vulnerable and open to attack, so it's [i]not[/i] advised he draws while being attacked.

[indent][b]ARISITAN ARSENAL   ⫻[/b] Same weaknesses as his regular constructs.

[b]ARTISIAN’S FURY   ⫻[/b] The hammer's explosion is enough to cause a sort of "recoil" that could knock Jasper over or off balance. Jasper is alson't impervious to the heat generated by the hammer, and it will eventually begin to burn him.

[b]THE BULWARK   ⫻[/b] While the shield can block attacks, it cannot fully stop impact, and specific strong attacks will be enough to break Jasper's arms or send him flying.

[b]MAGNUM OPUS   ⫻[/b] Much like regular rifles, the Magnum Opus has a recoil, and its enough to throw Jasper off balance with each shot.[/indent][/quote]
