Frostlight Arsenal - The core of everything magical that Rolan employs, and the most refined group of spells he has, the Frostlight Arsenal is an ever expanding collection of spells, mixing various combinations of Primal and Arcane domains under his command in new forms to allow him broader and harder to predict options in a battle. Originally a novel experimentation in forming Primal forces into weapons, and from there applying Manifestation and Illusion to provide results that no individual part could obtain. From dazzling flintlocks made of light, capable of being fired and discarded faster than even their real world counterpart, to sweeping greatblades made of ice, contained in a field and given the illusion of form, Rolan takes great pride in the variety of options at his disposal. Theoretically Rolan could create and loan the less disposable options in the Frostblade Arsenal to other people, assuming they were capable of handling them, though this is not something that has seen much more than theorizing. Some of the better known examples that fall under this collection of spells include:

• Light Flintlocks - An early experimentation with using illusions to give the magic actual form, Rolan uses a mixture of manifestation and light magic to fire compact spheres of light at targets, using the illusion of a flintlock to, practically, provide an intuitive way to aim and, aesthetically, make a spectacle of an otherwise mundane form of attack. Each sphere detonates on impact, releasing both the arcane energy holding the sphere together and the contained light in one moment, causing both damage and disorientation. He has a variation of this that uses frost magic, though it lacks the reach and speed that the light magic version has, but makes up for in the heavier impact of a block of ice striking and shattering alongside the manifested sphere holding the "shot" together.
• Frost Swords - A loose collection of Frost magic blades, illusion magic used to give them more identifiable variations between them and used for varying purposes. Daggers, knives, and other short blades make for quick to summon, throw, or sweep weapons of reaction. Arming swords, curved sabers, and other one handed and hand and a half weapons are a jack of all trades option, striking harder and further than the smaller knives and the like while moving faster and more deftly than the larger two handed blades. Lastly, the two handed swords, ranging from bastard swords to a zweihander in one instance of well earned wrath, are wielded with none of the grace a dedicated master might show, but carry the weight of the Frost magic that forms them, as well as the Manifested field that acts as an augmentation to add force behind each swing. All the swords can also be prepared with Light magic, though this trades the power and sapping nature of his frost magic for speed and dazzling displays that can disorientate an enemy.
• Light Bow - Continuing to experiment and take advantage of the properties of his Light magic, Rolan has learned how to use a manifested field and illusion shrouded arch of light to change up how he can strike from afar. Lacking the speed of the flintlocks, as he does not have to even draw a new one from a brace and can simply aim as one forms, the Bow has significantly more force behind each arrow. Preferring arrows made of light, bound in a manifested field in the shape of an arrow, they fly true and can be masked using other illusions and distractions, or even prepared to detonate without striking. This causes them to cast a bright light across the battlefield, illuminating and bringing attention from afar. Rolan has made no efforts in integrating Frost magic into this particular armament, the exact reasoning and use of the Light made bow not requiring or particularly using frost magic's advantages.
• Frost Axes - Varying from small, balanced hatchets to great bearded axes that would be more suitable to a powerful warrior than a lean magic user, Rolan has found a need for an incredible amount of weight and force focused onto a small point, something axes work well at doing in his experience. Typically used in an overhead, downward manner, each Axe is not intended to last for longer than a strike or two, punching through defenses before shattering into shards of ice and frigid mist. There is no Light magic equivalent, given the need for mass behind the manifested field that augments the cutting edge of the frost axe, though it is certainly possible in theory.
• Barricades - A catchall term for the various barriers, shields, walls, and other forms Rolan's domains can be coaxed into, this acts as his main defense when all else fails. Smaller, lighter forms are quick to create, though lack the durability to fully stop attacks and are better suited to deflecting attacks and causing recoil effects to attackers. The larger the barrier effect, the slower it is to conjure but also enjoys a higher durability in the face of offensive force, the most durable of which resembling a pavise shield that he can safely kneel behind if given the chance to prepare it ahead of time. Light barricades shatter when destroyed, blinding and dazzling anyone reliant on sight, while Frost barricades are far more durable but have little other effect. Manifestation can reinforce both, though it does reduce the effect of the light magic flash when broken by a notable degree.

Hall of Mirrors - A mixture of light and illusion magic that Rolan is fond of, he utilizes his magical grasp on Light to bend it, removing him from immediate view while, at the same time, creating a number of false clones of himself. While they lack substance and can be dispelled in a single blow, shattering one of these mirrors is often accompanied by a flash of light that can leave unaware foes blinded, and even those ready for it dazzled and struggling to see briefly. More effective against singular targets, and notably ineffective against those that do not rely on sight. If he doesn't want to rely on Light, he can use Frost magic instead to cause the mirror image to burst in a cloud of frigid cold, sapping energy and stamina from those caught in the burst for as long as they stay in it, or until it fades.

Whiteout - Manifesting a field of frigid Frost and dotting it with orbs of Light, Rolan creates a field that is nigh impossible to see in, the Frost sapping the stamina and energy of those trapped in it, while the motes of Light that circle within the storm make it more disorientating and difficult to escape. While Rolan himself cannot enter the manifested storm safely, it creates good cover for escapes, maneuvering, or simply softening up a target before it escapes or the spell expires on its own. Rolan could maintain the spell for longer than the initial burst requires, however such a thing would prove increasingly taxing over time.

Harrier Fence - Primarily a defensive spell, Rolan uses one of his domains to create one of several configurations of spikes, illusion magic usually being used to make them appear as spears. The most common being a cluster that juts out from the ground in front of him, creating an instant deterrent towards anyone trying to charge him down, being especially effective against mounted foes committed to the charge. He can also create a series of spikes that erupt forward in front of him, splitting up the immediate area in front of him between left and right, useful for helping allies disengage or sow discord in enemy ranks. More recently, he has found a third use for this technique, specifically sending two thinner bands of spikes out at equal angles from him, hemming in either a single or select few targets to isolate them. The spikes could face either inward, to dissuade escape, or outwards, to dissuade intrusion, with this third method which is continuing to see experimentation.

Lantern's Lure - A purely utilitarian spell, Rolan can manifest a number of orbs of Light, anchoring each of them over the shoulders of himself and a number of other people. These orbs let off soft light in most directions, but a beam of stronger light in the direction that the person looks at any given time. Rolan developed the spell purely because he got tired of having to keep a torch or lantern handy at any given time and would rather simply have a light source that tracked where he looked at any given time. The fact that it was trivial to expand the number to include allies was mostly coincidental.

Spellcasting Resilience - A great deal of Rolan's training has gone towards preparing himself for large amounts of casting over extended periods of time. Using a combination of aforementioned training, potions, as well as the odd trinket and bauble, Rolan has developed an impressive capacity for utilizing all his domains as effectively as he is able to. While this style of training has not granted him the sheer power that some methods might, if he can outlast and weather the higher force of an opponent he can generally outlast them as far as casting stamina goes, wearing them down through attrition and steady application of magical force in just the right locations.

An Eye for Knowledge - Rolan cannot, despite his efforts, profess to know everything there is to know, fortunately for him. However, all his time spent gleaning everything he can from sometimes fragmented and especially under duress or other less than ideal circumstances makes him a natural at picking out details. Be it a faulty piece of construction, an old wound that could be targeted on a foe, or even a rare material easily overlooked, Rolan has a naturally high perception and awareness of his surroundings, making it difficult to ever catch him off guard or conceal things from him.

Methodical - Both a flaw and a boon, Rolan has a very particular, and measured approach to all things. Fights with him, by his own dictate, are measured and steady, moving at particular paces. Exploration, down time, all things have a very measured, controlled, and steady pattern to them. When in his element, Rolan is naturally more capable at what he puts his mind to, however being forced out of this by circumstance can be off putting and leave him on the back foot should he not adapt to this new pace or circumstance.

Lore of the World - Having spent his entire time in game towards the purpose of learning about the world he is in, Rolan has a near photographic memory for anything that happens to catch his eye when exploring, fighting, or otherwise spending his time in Pariah Online. He is also proud to state that he actually understands the world that existed before the existence of the players in it better than nearly anyone else who isn't a part of the world itself, instinctively treating the people of the world appropriate to who they are as people rather than just as NPCs in a game.

Xantha has not had long within the game, and thus has few abilities considered 'signature' to her at this time. This list will grow.

Zephyrric Convokation - This is Xantha's initial skill, the defining concept behind her skillset selection in the game's tutorial. The primordial aspects of Wind channeled into the calculus of Convoking Arcane; there is much room to grow in this, but her defining ability of unique merit is this uncanny capability to blend the two aspects of magic into one elemental 'pet summoning' ability. Her Wind based convokations will be superior to her other attempts for the time being. In short, the go-to will be birds or other creatures modified with aspects of Wind, but her gaming history has shown the 'pet-controller' to be a playstyle defined by its utility and versatility tools in a party and this guides her mindset as she begins the game.

As with the spells and abilities, Xantha is new to the game and thus has not had the time to define herself within Pariah's meta-strata. However, playstyles and mentalities from old gaming habits do transfer quite well into the new environment.

Treadmiller
Xantha is tireless in the pursuit of more. When it comes to the mundane aspects of 'farming' or 'crafting', there will be few who can truly call themselves her peer; when this unwavering endurance for banality and repetition turns itself towards the study of more active skills and combat related talents, its dividends will show with time. Things may be slow to start for Xantha, but once the machine of Xantha's efforts begins to chug into motion the distances it will go with time will be incredible.

No Stone Unturned
The natural repercussion of her 'Treadmiller' title, Xantha will be an unceasingly curious player defined by her dedication in the search for secrets and the collection of crafting supplies. Knocking on walls, climbing trees, looking under carpet, and turning up loose floorboards are all things that simply must be done in the search for useful things.

Veteran Janitor : Hecate has been around the block, has seen just about every dungeon and raid encounter Pariah Online has to offer, and could probably explain the mechanics of most bosses with the accuracy of reciting her social security card number. She won’t, but she could. She’s not a great teacher; she can’t always tell you the right way to do something, but she sure as shit can tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong.

Who Asked : Hecate doesn’t talk about herself too much. Maybe one or two people in Pariah know her real name, and that she finished college early, but the information train usually stops there. It’s not that she’s paranoid, or wouldn't care to learn about others, it just hasn’t occurred to her. When your online career consists mostly of pugging with strangers, there’s not a lot of reason to get buddy-buddy.

I Want My Mummy : For as acrimonious as her interactions can be, Hecate is rarely short on invitations. Being a healer gets you invited to groups, being a really good healer gets you invited back even when you call the raid leader a skin toilet. Hecate has been kicked from a fair few groups, but she’s been reinvited to many more, and has garnered a small celebrity status for her capabilities. As long as you don’t mind getting your mistakes called out in less-than-delicate ways, you probably won’t have to worry about wiping to healing.

Brainy : By design, Hecate’s role in Pariah shares some overlap with her real life trajectory. While she’s no savant, Albie Klein has an unbreakable work ethic and a knack for learning. She’s good at problem-solving on the fly, and has eagerly implemented much of her medical knowledge into her kit. While ethics are paramount in medicine, she's glad she doesn't need malpractice insurance in Pariah.

Star Shimmer Shield
The most basic part of Sol's kit, and the first spell she ever mastered. A defensive ability that manifests as a solid wall of glittering light that radiates out from a single bright point. Just as light moves swiftly, its casting time is ridiculously fast. The shield's size and strength increases proportional to the energy used to cast it, and interconnected constellations of lights can form a massive AOE shield around entire teams. As arguably Sol's most important skill, she is able to "debt cast" it if her mana is too low by burning off her maximum mana amount.

Dark Quasar
A conjured point of light that swiftly implodes and creates a black hole effect which draws targets toward its center. The swirling dark mass has a pull powerful enough to suck in several enemies at once, so long as they aren't too large. Unlike a real black hole the spell itself has no other effect besides the pull. It is very effective at grouping troublesome enemies together for herself or someone else to take care of. Although it can be cast at range, the spell is called "quasar" because Sol usually casts it on top of herself to pull enemies towards her, functioning as the luminescence at the center.

Burst of Starlight
An empowering effect that can be cast on herself or others. It is a straightforward increase to the target's stats; not just their defense but their attack, speed, and other capabilities. Like Star Shimmer Shield, the effect increases proportional to the energy used to cast it. Sol mainly uses it on herself when she is not acting as main tank, or on a DPS partner when she is. The indication of her Starlit buff can vary from person to person, but for Sol her hair glows golden and grows longer depending on the strength of the buff.

Umbral Obsession
A single target debuff normally reserved for dungeon bosses or other highly dangerous foes. When the spell takes effect, it looks as though a shadowy shroud has fallen over the eyes of the target it was cast on. From the target's point of view, a very specific kind of tunnel vision is enforced. Looking anywhere other than at Sol makes their eyesight dark and fuzzy - thereby obscuring her allies and making it harder to focus on or hit them, while Sol herself remains perfectly clear in order to hold the enemy's attention.

Shooting Comets
A somewhat weak ranged attack, though it can be cast manifold, rapidly, or both. Bright little stars form in the air around Sol, then shoot toward a target as a projectile of light. The projectile itself is fast, but the spell has an obvious tell in that fact that the stars must form first before firing. For the most part Sol uses it to ping distant enemies or quickly deal with very low level ones hen she's in the area doing something else.

Purest Shadow
Sol raises her hand and summons a ring of darkness, which can then be placed on the ground to create a circular field of flickering shadows. It has a medium duration, but while active any allies that stand in the field are dispelled of their debuffs, Sol included. It does not happen instantly, as the darkness "consumes" each debuff one by one, but it works very well when fighting in a small area.

Simple but Stylish
Some people seek out rare magic spells, exotic weaponry, or complex artifacts. Others practice like crazy to perfect long, intricate combos or enchantments. And then there's Sol, who ditched the physical shield that came with her starter weapon because it was easier that way. Sol is good with a sword, and her swordplay is a wonderful blend of elegant and aggressive. She makes attacking and defending with it seem almost effortless. The simple, polished movements easily show off her skill, and when paired with her pretty spellwork she cuts quite the dashing figure in combat.

Eye for Detail
Sol is always the one that notices the treasure chest obscured in the corner, the faint glow of that forage-able item, the haircut or the little accessory her teammate recently got, the anxious fan or newbie assassin hiding behind the wall, the shooting star at night out of the corner of her eye. And she looks out for people just as much. Spending all that time looking for "The One" means she hardly misses a thing.

Pillar of the Community
For Sol, being a strong player and a kind stranger wasn't enough. A real prince charming was truly helpful. Sol has been a large presence throughout Toraenis at community events, Wayfarer run shop openings, player projects such as charities, fashion shows, and much more. It wasn't an exaggeration to say her name was well known throughout her starter city-state, and word of mouth had carried it beyond. She's collected many titles and nicknames due to this; The Stellar Idol, Toraenis' Wayfarer Prince, Lord Sollune, and of course her personal favorite, The Starry Knight.

Your North Star
Everyone that stands under Sol's starlight is under her protection, in more ways than one. She embodies her unwavering ideal, inspiring others with it. She takes charge in parties and lends her guidance to others. She emulates the best person she knew so that people feel that they could rely on her. And she is more than happy to give her opinion, asked for or otherwise.

Lotus Petal Dance - Rengemai (蓮花舞)
Leveraging both her illusion and enhancement magics, Papiyon becomes as a phantom; as she dashes around enemies and strikes from unexpected angles, afterimages are left in her wake, causing no damage but confusing monsters and hostile players alike with the graceful movements; like dancing across a pond on water lilies on tiptoes.

Butterfly Haze - Chou-Moya (蝶靄)
With a sound like falling leaves, a cloud of phantasmal butterflies envelops the area around Papiyon as she melds into it. The rustling of a thousand tiny wings hides sound, and the flashing of countless colors distorts vision; and by the time you realize that she'd circled around behind you, it's already too late.

Butterfly Flurry - Chou-Sakkaku (蝶錯覚)
A mesmerizing purple gleam envelops Papiyon's nagamaki, and attempts to block it seem to land on thin air as its position wavers like water, slipping past guards and through cracks in armor. Using illusion magic, she is able to conceal the position of her sword, distracting the eye with an illusory feint.

Flittering Wing - Hirahira Tsubasa (ひらひら翼)
You may think you have Papiyon pinned down and a surefire killing blow. You may think that you've escaped her, put enough distance between the two of you that she could never close the distance. In both cases, you are very wrong. With no more than a breath's sigh and a flare of purple light, Papiyon can blink up to twenty or so feet in whatever direction she chooses She can't use it more than once or twice sequentially, but being able to blink through an attack and end up right at her enemy's throat is powerful nonetheless.

Painless Butterfly - Mutsuu-Chou (無痛蝶)
The most powerful spell in Papiyon's arsenal, Painless Butterfly sees her close her eyes and sheath her sword as pink energy builds within, crawling up the sheath like butterflies swirling through the sky. All sound becomes muted and distant to her, and the world slows to a crawl. Then, in one fluid motion and with a sound like lightning, she unleashes a single clean stroke from her sheath, trailing pink light and phantom butterflies as it rends through space and time. Finally, the blade is stowed once more; and with the deafening click of the guard on the sheath, destruction unfolds and time resumes.

Holly, Heather, Hydrangea
Just because she's off the clock doesn't mean she loves flowers any less. She keeps a small plot of land in Thorinn where she grows an assortment of flowers both magical and mundane and sells them as she wanders to alchemists, tailors, and other crafters with an eye for magic and beauty.

Whirling Sting
All of Papiyon's abilities to get close and empower her strikes are useless if the strikes themselves are weak. Luckily, not so; she's quite impressive with her nagamaki. Perhaps not as much as she would be if she were strictly martial; in any competition that completely excludes magic, she's certainly not winning. But with all of her powers and talents factored in, she does a lot of damage, either quickly or over time.

Open Mind, Open Heart
For as kind as Papiyon is, and as committed as she is to emotionally protecting those around her--what good is that if people are so distrustful that they won't even let her? While her natural tendency is to hide how she's feeling, she curbs that as much as she possibly can. A constant flow of honesty is infinitely important, and that flow NEEDS to be two-way. All that being said, her mind can be a bit...too open. Because of her sheltered upbringing and tendency to always think the best of people, she has a tendency to be a bit naive and easily manipulated by more canny individuals.

Always There
Still, even if she does alienate someone, she'll try her best to un-alienate them, regardless if there was any major fault to be had there. Running alongside the sweetness and kindness, Papiyon is nothing if not incredibly forgiving. Not infinitely so, of course, she has her limits just like everyone else does. But unless either you or her does something truly heinous, she'll find a way to make amends.

Guarding Wind - Wind + Protection - A mid-range protective ability that encases Pendragon and any allies within a spiraling protective wind barrier-like tornado. It guards them from most lower level damage but also acts as a minor offensive as it can simultaneously damage opponents who come in contact with it. It has a short timespan that is 100% dependent on just how much damage. Large scale attacks will likely dispel it but it will serve as a scapegoat and save the user/benefactor of it, but it can only work once before a recharge timer is placed on the one who cast it.

Divine Veil - Light + Protection - Pendragon conjures up a semi-transparent veil of light that can defend against most levels of damage. It works in two way: either Pendragon uses it for himself, in which case it is almost certain that it can withstand most levels of damage and only a matter of time before it gives way, or he can extend it to at least two other party members that will be protected from most moderate levels of damage and can act as a means to get from point a to point b before the veil timer runs out. In the case of the former, it can remain active for 60 seconds and in the case of the latter, 40 seconds.

Golden Might - Light - A light-based offensive ability that Pendragon has in his disposal. By concentrating his might into his sword, when he swings it or slashes it, arcs of light are sent forth and will hit any nearby enemy. It has a high hit ratio and only fails if the opponent is faster than his swings.

A Light Shines - Light + Enhancement - A self-enhancing ability that centers light magic within Pendragon's body and enhances base stats and gives him heightened strength, speed, defense, and endurance for a short amount of time. When the ability is used, a faint gold aura surrounds him and his eyes are a shinier golden color.

Heaven's Tornado - Light + Wind - A sort of ultimate, Pendragon concentrates a large amount of his magic into both sword and shield. His sword arm is extended away from his shield while his shield is held up. Wind gathers around him as light shines, a sort of continuing and extended visual of "A Light Shines". It produces a radiant tornado that is sent in a direct line of path in front of him. Being a sort of ultimate move, it will have the potential to deal great damage to anyone hit by it. The more they are in its direct path the larger the damage. Even those that manage to escape its immediate pathway might get hit with minor damage.

Hold the Line - Though a tank, Pendragon is not a significantly-offensive tank (though he is equipped for battle should he need to). A good amount of skill points, as well as the overall build was built around the premise of being able to protect others. To do that, he had to build up his defensive stats, which he has. Because of this, Pendragon’s strengths, ironically, lay within his ability to defend with a shield. And the way he fights has always been countering. He does have the sp to make first-round offensive measures, but it’s not in his nature as it would compromise the safety of those he might be trying to protect.

Ole Reliable - It’s what the locals and people he’s raided with call him. “Pendragon, the Ole Reliable Knight” is the name he received for not just how many raid parties he’s been apart of but the fact that he always came through for anyone that needed his help. He’s not a celebrity in any right (not like the stellar night), but he does what he can.

A Crafty Boy - Pendragon has invested some time in learning how to craft to the point that he can craft armor and weapons. SOmetimes for others but his main reason was to achieve a level so he could make the best sword, shield, and golden armor for himself so, if he was being honest, he could be a little flashy while helping out.

A Knight of the World - Pendragon is well traveled around the world of Aetheria. Through parties and general adventurer habits, Pendragon has been around to all the city-states at least once. He feels like he has a solid lay of the land and knowledge of where certain things are. Though, he has maintained a large presence in Toraenis and would even go as far as to call it his home.
