[i]"Who says Spiders can't be stylish!?"[/i]

[indent]The definition of bubbly. 

Lisa is an approachable, energetic woman, an attribute she carried from childhood until adulthood! She is almost constantly bouncing, smiling, and talking, and some may consider her immature or annoying, but Lisa sees herself as Lisa. She is just one happy gal to be alive! Despite her love for all things spooky and macabre, there's an undeniable warmth and kindness about Lisa that draws people to her. Her wardrobe reflects her eclectic and eccentric personality, mixing whacky graphic tees with vintage skirts and combat boots. She has a habit of accessorizing with chunky jewelry and mismatched socks, adding a whimsical touch to her attire. 

One of Lisa's favorite pieces of clothing is a vintage-inspired dress adorned with spiderweb lace patterns, its flared skirt waving around her legs as she moves. Accessories are crucial in Lisa's wardrobe as the finishing touches that unite her outfits. She loves to accessorize with jewelry, favoring chunky rings and bracelets adorned with spider webs and other motifs. Her hair accessories collection is equally impressive, with an assortment of bows, clips, and headbands in all shapes and sizes, each adding a playful pop of color to her curly black hair.

Footwear is another area where Lisa's personality shines through. She's often seen sporting combat boots adorned with quirky charms or platform sneakers in bold, eye-catching colors. And when the occasion calls for something more formal, she'll swap her boots for a pair of vintage-inspired Mary Janes.

The first thing that people notice about Lisa is that she is [i]short[/i], extremely short. She stands at an intimidating and horrifying... four-nine. Yeah, she needs help reaching the things on the higher shelves, and she always felt like she would get taller but never did. Her height was never an issue for the gal, as she considers herself "fun-sized." The girl always struggled with her weight despite her lightning-fast metabolism; she just always had difficulty getting up and going to the gym or for a run. Despite looking skinny from a distance, she has a bit of a flabby gut and is embarrassed about it. The girl isn't very chesty otherwise (she has a little booty tho).

Lisa is African-American with very dark skin and deep dark hair. However, her hair is messy and not all that styled or well-maintained. Sometimes, it's styled; sometimes, it's a mess; and sometimes, it's not styled! A keen eye can sometimes notice a spider or two crawling across her (her outfit, hair, or skin) like it's nothing. 

If you see it; don't worry about it.[/indent]

[sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub]
[i]"A survivor, a warrior, and a friend."[/i]

[INDENT][color=764820][b]MAIN GOAL  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's current goal is to get back to Adora by any means necessary. The next goal is finally getting her revenge on Emily G. Reed for making her life hell.

[color=764820][b]PHILOSOPHY  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's whole philosophy is that every individual possesses a unique attribute (or "magic") within them that needs to be explored! She believes true strength comes from embracing the differences between one another and celebrating the quirks that make everyone unique! To Lisa, life is an adventure filled with [i]infinite possibilities[/i], and it's up to everyone to embrace and explore their "magic." She believes in the power of kindness, empathy, and acceptance, seeing beauty in the diversity of the human soul. For Lisa, every challenge or obstacle is an opportunity for growth, and every setback is a chance to learn and evolve into something more significant (or stranger). She approaches life with a sense of wonder and curiosity, eager to explore the mysteries of the universe and unlock the secrets of the soul. With a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be tamed, Lisa embraces life with open arms, knowing that anything is possible with some magic.

[color=764820][b]SECRETS  ⫻[/b][/color] The one secret that Lisa kept to herself is that she's a stalker... She started stalking Adora during the brief dissolution of their friendship and followed her everywhere. However, once she was brought into the Old Coven, she began stalking other people that she was interested in. Mainly Greta Faust, Britney Williams, Jade West, Luca Olivera, Olivia Ruiz, Evelynn Serenelight, Kari Wilson, the "Magical Girls," and others. She would observe their habits and "borrow" something from them, typically something... [i]"intimate"[/i] for her to keep in her private collection. Lisa keeps it a secret but doesn't fully understand that this behavior is just a[i] little[/i] unhinged... The other thing that she keeps a secret (more internalized) is her obsession with Emily G. Reed, the woman who bullied her so heavily that she considered ending her own life. She wishes to kill Emily and devises several [i]brutal[/i] spells to inflict the worst suffering possible on Emily.

[color=764820][b]SEXUALITY  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa has no clue what she is, as she never got the opportunity to explore her sexuality and experience things before her death. She has found herself attracted to many different people in the Old Coven but is oblivious to what it means or what to do with these feelings. Primarily, Lisa had feelings for her friend, Adora.

[color=764820][b]FEARS  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's experiences of being bullied and isolated from her peers have left her with a fear of rejection and abandonment. She worries that if people were to discover her true self, they would reject her or treat her differently, leaving her feeling vulnerable and alone once again. Lisa deeply treasures her friendships and relationships but fears being betrayed or deceived by those she trusts. She struggles with feelings of insecurity and doubt, constantly second-guessing the intentions of others and fearing that she will be hurt or let down once again. As someone who thrives on knowledge and understanding, Lisa struggles with a fear of the unknown and uncertainty. She worries about what lies beyond the boundaries of her knowledge, whether in the realm of magic or the mysteries of life itself, leading to anxiety and apprehension.

[color=764820][b]REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa had a bit of a shaky reputation in the Old Coven. While she [i]was[/i] accommodating at times, she was seen as annoying, strange, and overbearing. She often didn't pay attention and got called out for putting others on the line. However, she had a bubbly, positive attitude that uplifted the Coven through their darkest hour.

[color=764820][b]ROLE IN THE BATTLE WITH THE STYGIAN SNAKE  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa was not an up-front fighter like the others, but she did support them. Lisa was a multiple-roled fighter who went back and forth between being a scout and healer, supplying spider minions to collide with the Stygian Snakes, and pulling people out of the fire. Lisa also helped Greta Faust gather supplies using her Spider-Minions, so she saved many lives by allowing Greta to create more potions.

[color=764820][b]FLAWS  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's social skills have [i]always[/i] been lacking. The girl doesn't have great social skills and is oblivious that she is annoying or overbearing sometimes. She isn't very confident either and has a hard time sticking up for herself without the help of others to back her up. Due to her past experiences of betrayal and rejection, Lisa struggles with trusting others and opening up emotionally. She puts people at arm's length and puts up walls to protect herself, which prevents her from forming meaningful connections with others. Lisa strives for perfection in [i]everything[/i] she does, and this leads to some unrealistic expectations. She is overly critical of herself or others when things are unplanned. Lisa is her own harshest critic, constantly second-guessing herself and dwelling on her shortcomings. She sets impossibly high standards for herself and feels shame when she falls short of her expectations. Emily G. Reed is a walking source of trauma; the woman almost drove Lisa to suicide. The mere [i]mention[/i] of Emily is triggering for her, and Lisa holds a deep-rooted obsession with Emily. She wants to see her fail, wants to see her [i]fall,[/i] and most important of all, she wants to see Emily [i]die.[/i] In fact, Lisa has devised some spells to inflict the most horrifying death possible on Emily.

Not that Emily wouldn't deserve it. 
[/INDENT]

[sub][b][color=764820] Backstory[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup][/sub]
[i]"There's always a light waiting to guide us home!"[/i]

[indent]Born on a dark, stormy night in St. Portwell. Lisa had two loving parents who dreamed of starting a family and welcomed her into the world with open arms. However, as she developed, there seemed to be something off about the girl... Her social skills were honestly lacking, and she created some weird fascinations. While a curious and imaginative soul, Lisa was solitary - an outcast, often retreating into her world of books and daydreams when the other children shunned her. While her classmates played tag and traded Pokémon cards, Lisa could explore the woods, collecting spiders and insects in jars and sketching their patterns in her notebook. Her bedroom walls were adorned with posters of creepy creatures, and her bookshelves overflowed with tomes on the occult and supernatural.

Despite her bubbly and kind-hearted nature, Lisa's love for spiders became a source of ridicule, and she was taunted and harassed to no end. Pranks were constantly pulled on her, and everyone pushed her around as she didn't have the confidence or backbone to strike back. Lisa was bullied into becoming an introverted recluse, one who would have to work herself up to order some pizza on the phone. High school was when Lisa got it the worst. Her main bully was Emily G. Reed, a high school senior who was a monster. Lisa couldn't go a few hours without Emily harassing her, beating her up, humiliating her, or pouring something on her clothing, and the school district was a lot more sympathetic to Emily than Lisa.

Lisa dreaded even going to school as she would damn near suffer an anxiety attack at the mere [i]thought[/i] of seeing her tormentors. Even going out wasn't safe as people like Emily would sometimes catch her when she was going to the mall, so it felt like [i]nowhere[/i] was safe. She became withdrawn and quiet, retreating into her little fantasy world of books and spiders to escape how horrible life was. Regardless of what she did, she couldn't find any relief as her family was no help, and the school district didn't care. 

Eventually, her bullies succeeded, and Lisa was finally pushed to the edge and contemplating suicide to escape her miserable and lonely life. It was enough to trigger her Kindling-Event, but Lisa was not in the frame of mind to care about or consider the world of magic. Lisa stopped going to school as she got the strength to write her suicide note. 

Then, Adora entered her life. 

Adora was an acquaintance at best, but Lisa never thought she cared about her, and soon Adora became that friend. Listening to Lisa's problems and getting her bullies off her back - even getting physical! Adora was Lisa's hero, eventually helping her gain the courage to return to school. Adora was a wonderful person and began to occupy the same headspace as spiders did to Lisa! Whenever Adora was around Lisa and talking to her, she felt a feeling in her chest that could only be a growing affection. She kept these feelings to herself and instead devoted her attention to magic!

After some testing, she developed some spells - related to spiders, of course - and just had to show Adora! One day, Lisa invited Adora to her house and showed her the beautiful things she could do... and made the girl haul ass into the night. Lisa tried to reach out, but Adora was avoiding her, sending her back into the dark places - but she refused to go back there. She wanted Adora, and she knew that Adora wouldn't have liked it, and there was [i]something[/i] wrong with her actions, but she used her abstraction to tail Adora. She followed Adora wherever she went; if she wasn't there, a spider minion was in her place. Eventually, Adora came to her senses to apologize... Lisa saw this beforehand and gave Adora the cold shoulder. However, she (eventually) accepted Adora's apology.

Then, they got attacked by the Stygian Snake. Lisa had no clue what in the world it was, but knew it had to be magic... but it had destroyed her house, and Adora attempted to sacrifice herself so Lisa could escape. In tears, Lisa fled and knew it was the last time they would see each other. That was when the Sycamore Tree Coven came and drove the Stygian Snake off. Adora was healed, and they were recruited into the Sycamore Tree Coven against the Stygian Snake. 

Lisa was a helpful part of the Old Coven and developed new spells to create Spider Minions to assist the group and travel. She was neither a front-line fighter like Adora nor a healer like Jade and Sully, but she found her Niche in the Coven as a flex support scout. With the help of Adora, she came out of her shell and made herself friends with [i]many[/i] members of the Old Coven. She uplifted the group with her positive and bubbly attitude and was close friends with Greta Faust and a "Magical Girls" member alongside Ella, Saskia, and Kari. However, many group members found her quirks to be off-putting and annoying - worst of all, she had to work with [i]Emily G. Reed.[/i] To say the least, just hearing that monster's [i]name[/i] was triggering.

Despite the deaths of Ella and Saskia, Lisa attempted to see it as an adventure and remained by Adora's side - despite her confidence not being super high. However, the day of the Eclipse happened, and the final battle had begun, and Lisa was sure that she would avenge her friends. However, Lisa remained on the sidelines, observing and calling out objectives on her spider... then Adora and her Trinity were launched out of position, exposing Lisa. The Stygian Snake [i]brutally[/i] killed her in front of Adora and left the poor gal with heaps of PTSD.

That should have been the end of Lisa's story. 

However, the Hound resurrected her, Ella, and Saskia for some mission, making them his "Agents of Death." Lisa didn't trust the Hound as far as she could throw it, but she needed to get back to Adora, so she had to follow the Hound's orders.

So she could get Adora to forgive herself for what had happened.[/indent]

[i]"Magical Girl Archne is back in action!"[/i]

[indent][color=764820][b]TYPE  ⫻[/b][/color] Adept.

[color=764820][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] [i]Green & Gold Lux.[/i] Channeler: Necklace of Orb Weaver Spider in Amber.

[color=764820][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION  ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's obsession with spiders and her headfirst dive into the macabre have allowed Lisa to develop three "pathways" for her spells. One path focuses on creating spider minions to assist her in various tasks, another alters her body to adopt traits from spiders, and a third path that she keeps her socially unacceptable spells. With these three "pathways," Lisa is a versatile and dangerous combatant with some extra spells.

[indent][color=764820][b]THE SPIDER QUEEN ⫻[/b][/color] The Spider Queen is the "path" that harnesses the power of Gold Lux the most, but she channels the Green Lux in some of her spells. The Spider Queen "path" is the one path group that Lisa is the most proficient in and is thus her primary spell group.

[indent][indent][color=764820][b]Command ⫻[/b][/color] is the most crucial spell in Lisa's Spider-Queen path. She channels her Golden Lux (with a dash of Green Lux) to exert her will over the spiders, overriding their instincts. She can command [i]any[/i] Spider—possibly even Abominable, provided they do not have an Emotional Field!

[color=764820][b]The Arachnid Horde ⫻[/b][/color] With a flick of her wrist, Lisa utilizes her Golden Lux to summon minions to aid her. They can either crawl out of the shadows or the unseen crevices of a location, or they can burst out of the ground, walls, or ceiling (Which takes more effort). These spiders can vary in size and species, from tiny jumping to massive tarantulas. Lisa can pick and choose what spiders she summons; otherwise, it will summon a random assortment by default, and she can summon [i]thousands[/i]. Utilizing the vital Command Spell, the Arachnid Horde is beneficial as a weapon and a tool.

[color=764820][b]Infestation ⫻[/b][/color] A particular spell that Lisa made to torment Olivia Ruiz for grabbing her titty that time. Unlike the Arachnid Horde and Spider-Vomit spells, it’s a long-ranged usage of Golden-Lux. If Lisa has been to a location or touched someone recently, she can summon thousands of spiders to that location, like the Arachnid-Horde. The Spiders quickly make themselves at home by weaving hundreds of different webs. This spell is purely a psychological tool, as the spiders are typically out of range of her other Spider-Queen spells.

[color=764820][b]Vomit ⫻[/b][/color] The first version of the Arachnid-Horde spell that she developed before other Gold Lux users taught her more... efficient ways to cast this spell (They just wanted her to stop vomiting Spiders). Simply put, she spews a [i]flood[/i] of random Spiders from her mouth, alongside some bodily fluids (mainly saliva, some stomach acid, and a little blood!). Even though the Spell had mainly been retired, Lisa had updated it to act more like a projectile weapon as she could expel a flood of spiders on an opponent. She can spray these spiders up to five meters away - not super far, but enough to catch someone off guard.

[color=764820][b]Enlarge ⫻[/b][/color] One of Lisa's more "famous" spells in the Old Coven. Focusing her Green-Lux on a spider, she wraps it in a cocoon of magical webs. This process takes a few moments, but once it's done, the Spider could be up to the size of a sedan. Lisa primarily used this spell to create a mount that she rode on, typically a Jumping Spider, as they were the fastest (and cutest).

[indent][color=764820][b]Shrink ⫻[/b][/color]  Lisa channels her Green-Lux to reverse the effects of her previous spells that enlarged spiders under her control. As she focused her will, a wave of Green Lux would wash over the Spiders, causing them to shrink back to their standard size with a series of unsettling pops and crackles.[/indent]

[color=764820][b]Hybridization ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa delves into body modification using Green Lux, splicing together the physical forms of spiders and other insects to create grotesque hybrid creatures. Like her Enlarge Spell, she surrounds her spiders in a cocoon of magic webs for a few moments, and then they burst out as monstrous amalgamations of chitin. From the fierce mandibles of beetles to the aerial prowess of dragonflies, Lisa has the power to create an endless array of hybrid creatures, each more formidable and terrifying than the last. Legs elongate and split into segmented sections, wings sprout from backs, and exoskeletons shimmer with an otherworldly sheen as the spiders undergo their grotesque transformation.

[color=764820][b]Renewal ⫻[/b][/color] A Spell that Lisa devised before the Healing-Spider spell ironically (and got a lot of shit for it). With a gentle touch, Lisa can channel her Green Lux to restore her spider minions while she uses this spell; a glowing web-like pattern briefly appears over the affected area. In moments, chitin will be bent back into place, wounds will be closed, and any other injuries will be restored until the Spider is as good as new! 

[color=764820][b]Acid-Burst ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa imbues her spider minions with a volatile mixture of corrosive acids, transforming them into corrosive bombs. The spiders grow horrific growths that glow with yellowish-orange liquid as they bulge with pent-up pressure—ready to pop. They will detonate with a blast of acid and chitin shrapnel either on command or if they are impacted enough, as they will be fragile. With horrifying efficiency, they unleash an acidic liquid that eats away at flesh and bone but is less effective on metal materials.

[color=764820][b]Healing-Spiders ⫻[/b][/color] Annoyed into learning a healing spell by the Old-Coven, as her Green-Lux was an [i]asset[/i] in the fight against the Stygian Snake, Lisa developed a healing Spell. Jade West initially taught her a healing touch but struggled until she spruced it up with a macabre flair. Some minuscule, harmless-looking spiders will come from the pores in Lisa's flesh, and she can command them to "attack" another person. They will [i]burrow[/i] underneath their flesh, disappearing to release a soothing, revitalizing energy that courses through the target's body, accelerating natural healing processes and repairing damaged tissues from within. Stimulating regeneration, closing wounds, and alleviating pain. Once the process is done, the spiders vanish without a trace.

[color=764820][b]Dispel ⫻[/b][/color] A simple spell in which, once Lisa no longer requires her Spider-Minions, she sends them away. They quickly scurry into the same depths they emerged from and disappear into thin air.[/indent][/indent]

[color=764820][b]THE INNER-SPIDER ⫻[/b][/color] The Inner-Spider is a path in which Lisa alters her own body to adopt the traits of different Spiders. This "Path" exclusively harnesses Green-Lux as she applies different spells to herself and embraces her affinity's "primal" aspect. Lisa is not as proficient in this spell group as her Spider-Queen. However, she is very formidable with these spells.

[indent][indent][color=764820][b]Spider-Limbs ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa channels her Green-Lux to sprout eight spider-like legs from her back. These legs are sleek, black-colored, and chitinous; each tipped with razor-sharp claws capable of supporting her weight and immense agility. With her newfound appendages, Lisa can move with the grace and speed of a spider, scaling walls and ceilings with ease.

[color=764820][b]Eyes of the Spider ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa conjures forth additional eyes that sprout from her forehead, temples, and cheeks, granting her a panoramic view of her surroundings and a heightened awareness. These eyes can detect even the slightest movement; she can see in the dark, and her depth perception is enhanced to inhuman levels. 

[color=764820][b]Webweaver ⫻[/b][/color] While Lisa cannot launch webs a la Spider-Man, she can spin webs the good old-fashioned way. Given enough time, she can weave intricate and layered webs and often makes art with her webs... however, she only really uses this spell to help her minions weave webs if the situation calls for it.

[color=764820][b]Toxic Pheromones ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa releases a noxious cloud of toxic pheromones out of her body that permeates the air around her. The pheromones are a potent cocktail of magical chemicals that induce nausea, disorientation, and fear in those who breathe them in. And it [i]stinks.[/i] Its scent overpowers the senses of those unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity. Those who inhale the toxic fumes are overcome with dizziness and vertigo, their vision swimming as their stomach churns with nausea. In addition to inducing physical discomfort, they attract swarms of insects and other creatures to Lisa's location. Drawn by the scent of the pheromones, these creatures descend upon the environment. 

[color=764820][b]Regenerative-Cocoon ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa envelops herself in a cocoon of silk spun from her own body, imbued with Green-Lux, which accelerates her natural healing abilities. Within the cocoon, cuts knit themselves back together, bone is reformed, and all other wounds are healed. She can recover from being critically injured in under twenty minutes - at the cost of being a sitting duck and far more accessible to kill. Once it's done, Lisa emerges renewed and ready for action. 

[color=764820][b]Wallcrawling ⫻[/b][/color] A Spell that Lisa has devised for the hell of it. Her Spider-Limbs spell is technically more powerful, but this Spell is faster and more [i]subtle[/i]. At will, Lisa's fingertips become covered in tiny, invisible spider hairs. When pressed against any surface, these hairs stick to it, allowing Lisa to scale walls and cling to ceilings. 

[color=764820][b]Revert ⫻[/b][/color] A simple spell in which Lisa undoes any transformation she has done to her body with spells from the Inner-Spider Path.[/indent][/indent]

[color=764820][b]THE MACABRE ARTS ⫻[/b][/color] A path that harnesses Green-Lux primarily... and a pathway that Lisa keeps a secret as her alternate name for this personal discipline is the "Forebidden Spellbook". The Macabre Arts is a series of three spells Lisa has developed to inflict the most painful death on her object of obsession, Emily G. Reed, possibly. It's a pathway that Lisa has only dabbled in, doesn't actively use it, and would [i]only[/i] use it on the worst of the worst. However, these spells are socially unacceptable, even among the Paranormal, so Lisa keeps it a secret.

[indent][indent][color=764820][b]The Wretched Web ⫻[/b][/color] An "Ultimate" Spell that Lisa has developed (specifically designed to use on Emily), one that is incredibly potent but one she also knew a majority of the Old Coven wouldn't appreciate. She sticks her hand out and creates a net of webs... not out of silk, however, but [i]human flesh[/i]. It is a thick, pulsating mass that binds itself to the flesh of anyone caught in it. These fleshy webs will transform them into massive egg-sacks - and they'll explode with [i]millions[/i] of Spiders she can command. This Spell is the one Spell that Lisa has an issue using, and they will only use it on the worst of the worst. 

[color=764820][b]Metamorphis ⫻[/b][/color] This is another Spell that Lisa devised specifically to inflict a fate worse than death on her tormentor, Emily G. Reed. Lisa considers this a "forbidden" spell, as it's beyond the pale, not even in the war against the Stygian Snake. She experimented with this during the darkest hour against the Stygian Snake and, unfortunately, didn't get a chance to finish it. Using her Green Lux in a manner only supervillains would utilize it, Lisa can forcibly transform a subject into a grotesque hybrid of human and arachnid. The process is [i]excruciatingly[/i] painful as the victim's body twists and bends into the shape of a spider, sprouting multiple extra limbs, fangs, and an exoskeleton. The result? Permanent disfigurement that could only be undone via magic - and Lisa did [i]not[/i] find a way to revert a person to usual as, if she was going to use this spell on someone, it was going to be used on the scum of the Earth (I.E Emily). Lisa only tested this on animals - she never had the guts to test it on a person - however, she never considered that she needed to penetrate Emotional-Fields to work on Emily...

[color=764820][b]Parasitoid ⫻[/b][/color] Possibly the most sinister and subtle spell of the Macabre Arts, revealing Lisa's sadistic side beneath her bubbly attitude. With a whisper and a touch, Lisa implants a tiny, parasitic spider egg into the body of her victim. Initially undetectable, the egg slowly incubates within its host, feeding off its victim as it grows larger and larger. It begins as an itch, but the victim experiences increasing weakness, fatigue, and mysterious symptoms over time as the spider larva matures and consumes bodily fluids from within. As the parasitic spider grows more prominent and voracious, it exerts control over the host's nervous system, causing agonizing pain, and once it finishes, the victim dies. A giant spider is born into the world after bursting out of what's left of the victim. The whole process takes around a month, and at will, Lisa can kill the spider and end the pain.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

[color=764820][b]LIMITS  ⫻[/b][/color] 

[indent][color=764820][b]THE SPIDER QUEEN ⫻[/b][/color] The effectiveness of Lisa's spider-based spells may be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and terrain. Specific environments may be more conducive to the proliferation and activity of spiders, while others may hinder their mobility or effectiveness. Lisa can only command her spiders when she is in a range of around fifteen meters of them - if she is out of this range, they will do nothing until she gets close enough to command them. Lisa can summon thousands of Spiders at a time; the more spiders she summons, the more energy she consumes until she is completely drained of stamina. Otherwise, Lisa is not limited to how many spiders she can summon at a time and summon [i]trillions[/i] of spiders... then immediately pass out. She cannot summon spiders from places in view of a person; if they are, she'll have to expend more energy by having them burst out of a wall/ceiling/floor. Lisa can only have one infestation spell at a time and must dispel them to summon another. The Infestation spell has a limit of a day for her to cast it in any place or on any person she has encountered. Otherwise, there is no range limit, and she could, theoretically, use infestation on the opposite side of the planet (or even a different dimension!). 

Lisa could only cast Spider-Vomit once every few minutes and could not control what type of spider she spews. When using her Hybridization and Enlarge Spells, it takes a few moments for them to take effect, and these are a few moments that Lisa needs to focus on and concentrate on. This leaves her and the Spiders vulnerable for a few moments. Lisa can only Enlarge up to five spiders at a time, but that requires so much energy, and she prefers to stick to one. Lisa can Hybridize up to a hundred [i]regular[/i] spiders at a time but can only Hybridize a single Enlarged one. Lisa can only Hybridize her Spiders with one insect at a time. The acid created from Acid-Burst is more effective at dissolving flesh and bone than inorganic materials such as metal - thus, even the most basic armor is effective against it. The Spiders with Acid-Burst cast on them will explode automatically after a few moments, and anyone can cause a premature explosion with a ranged attack. She cannot undo the Acid Burst Spell, and they will [i]have[/i] to explode.

Lisa can only summon a finite number of Healing-Spiders at a time. Typically, she can command a swarm large enough to address several moderate injuries or one severe wound. Once all spiders have been deployed, she must wait for a cooldown of around twenty minutes before summoning them again. The Healing Spiders also do not work on her at all.

[color=764820][b]THE INNER-SPIDER ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa cannot instantly transform her body and requires a few moments to apply the changes - and in this state, she will be stationary and vulnerable to surprise attacks. Again, altering Lisa's body and maintaining it takes energy. Lisa can only retain her spider-like traits for a limited duration (around a few hours) before returning to her normal state. Once the duration expires, Lisa must wait for a cooldown before she can transform again. The more changes to her body that she has applied, the shorter the duration (up to thirty minutes). Lisa can only use the Regenerative Cocoon once a day.

[color=764820][b]MACABRE ARTS ⫻[/b][/color] Wretched Web has a relatively short range of around four meters. This Spell only works on organic beings, and she can only cast it once a day. In her obliviousness, Lisa never thought that her Metamorphosis Spell would need to penetrate Emotional-Fields. Thus, at the moment, it cannot work on the Paranormal until she finds some way to penetrate them. She cannot use this Spell in a fight, as she requires stamina, concentration, and constant physical contact to cast. The Spell could take [i]hours[/i] to fully transform a person, so she also needs to restrain or pacify them long enough. All in all, this spell is just impractical. The Parasitoid spell can only be cast in one person at a time, and Lisa has to touch them first - and it has to be skin-to-skin contact. Wherever Lisa touches them, that is where the Parasitoid is, and it cannot travel and will eventually be noticed by the host and could be killed.[/indent]

[color=764820][b]WEAKNESSES  ⫻[/b][/color] It's probably not a weakness. Still, most people would find Lisa's spellbook just a [i]little bit[/i] unnerving - especially the more macabre spells she has developed. 

[indent][color=764820][b]THE SPIDER QUEEN ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa's primary weaknesses to her Spider-Queen are elemental magic (fire, ice, electricity, etc), or any magic that has an area of effect. Thermal-based elemental magic will make quick work of her Spider-Minions, and area-of-effect magic will flatten her hordes of spiders. Using Spider-Vomit, she loses body fluids and food and could either starve or dehydrate herself. While she uses the Enlarge and Hybridization spells, her Spiders are extra vulnerable in the cocoon and are far easier to kill. Hybridization comes with its own set of weaknesses depending on what she splices her spiders with. Her most common hybrid - a giant spider with wings - is incredibly loud and makes it [i]incredibly[/i] hard to hear (along with hurting her ears). The Acid-Burst Spell can affect friend and foe alike, and if Lisa isn't careful, the acid can kill her too! Also, thermal damage cancels the spell outright and destroys the acid.

[color=764820][b]THE INNER-SPIDER ⫻[/b][/color] Lisa will be stationary while she applies the changes with her Inner-Spider and could be ambushed. If she is interrupted in this state, she will be in a state of incomplete transformation and will have to revert to normal to restart the process. Transforming her physical appearance using spells from the "Inner-Spider" path can tax Lisa, especially if she maintains the transformation for an extended period. When she pushes herself too hard or relies too heavily on her spider-like enhancements, she experiences intense physical exhaustion and fatigue. Her muscles ache, and her joints ache with pain as the strain of maintaining her altered form takes its toll. In severe cases, she may even suffer from muscle cramps, spasms, or injuries due to overexertion. 

The enhanced senses and abilities granted by spells from the "Eyes of the Arachnid" spell can sometimes overwhelm Lisa, causing sensory overload and disorientation. They also leave her susceptible to sensory overload in situations of extreme stimuli. Bright lights can overwhelm her senses, causing disorientation, confusion, and even debilitating migraines. In these moments, Lisa may find it difficult to concentrate or make sense of her surroundings, leaving her vulnerable to attack by her enemies. Lisa is not immune to the effects of her toxic pheromones and may expose herself to their effects if she is not careful. Prolonged exposure to the fumes can cause dizziness, nausea, and disorientation, impairing her ability to concentrate and making her vulnerable. The toxic pheromones are susceptible to dispersion by wind or air currents, which can dilute their potency and reduce effectiveness. In outdoor environments or areas with strong air currents, the pheromones may be quickly dispersed over a wide area, diminishing their ability to affect specific targets. While it heals her remarkably fast, Lisa's Regenerative Cocoon leaves her as a sitting duck, and she is far more vulnerable in this state.

[color=764820][b]The MACABRE ARTS ⫻[/b][/color] The whole big point of the Macabre Arts is that they are spells that Lisa would not like people to know as they are the spooky, body-horror spells that are socially unacceptable. In many cases, Lisa would not use the spells, but if her friends found them out, then the fallout would not be pretty. People would have a hard time trusting Lisa from here on. While the Wretched Web is resistant to physical attacks, it is highly susceptible to fire. Exposure to flames causes the flesh to ignite and burn rapidly, weakening the structure of the web and causing it to collapse. While the Wretched Web effectively restrains enemies, it also sacrifices Lisa's mobility, as she must remain stationary to keep the web intact. This weakness leaves her vulnerable to attacks from enemies not trapped in the web, as she cannot move freely or evade incoming threats while concentrating on maintaining the spell. The Metamorphosis Spell is, unfortunately, very situational despite being capable of disfiguring someone permanently. Extreme temperatures, electricity, etc can easily kill the Parasitoid, and the host can stab the spider with a knife to kill it.[/indent][/INDENT]
