So I've been reading up on the new artes, And I have a question, Which, if in a fight, would prevail a disciple of the Artes Naturae or an Artes Procellae? Like if I made a Procellae that focused on windstorms and if he fought Dom which could control the wind/air better? Or does it depend on the amount of years they trained?

If it was Dom versus a new character, Dom would win, especially since he is a Naturae Air disciple. Dom would only have to control the ambient air around him, whether it was produced by the Procellae or any of the air that's all around him. The Procellae has to draw on their inner spirit energy to produce weather effects, and can be worn down as the battle is drawn out until they have nothing to use and therefore no weather to create. Naturae have a lot more endurance with their abilities.

Ok...This unfortunately brought more questions. Once the weather has been created does it remain even if the Procellae runs out of energy? And I think I got this. But if a Procellae tried to move the same air as a Naturae, The Natura would move the wind and change direction.

Nope, unless they somehow manage to already be in the middle of a storm, the storm will simply disappear. Storms created by Procellae directly require a constant feed of energy to continue to exist. The Procellae are not as natural as the Naturae, which is one of the main differences between the artes. Yes, the Naturae can turn certain aspects of the weather back on the Procellae.

I like to think of the artes in this sense: Naturae, is a finessed rapier, and Procellae is a clunky broadsword. Both have their uses in various moments.

Edit: Also, first post will be going up tomorrow in the afternoon.

Alright that helps. Thanks

This one might be a little less detailed than Tsubaki, also a dude character! Hope it works.

Name: Derrek Loansfield
Age: 13
Year: 1st
Appearance: Unkept is the single best word to describe Derrek. His clothes are wrinkled and his hair is uncombed and messy. He has brown hair and hazel eyes, though you'd be hard pressed to see through his bangs, which are more-than-likely covering them. He also wields a charming smile, and often some sort of hat, and rarely, reading glasses.
Personality: Not that it's easy to tell but Derrek is of fast wit, though whether or not that wit is funny or clever is a bit of a hit and miss. He gets in trouble often from his mischievous and pranking ways, especially when his pranks take into the fact that he's quite a pervert. He always does the minimum, but at least he'll do it. He also calls faults and buts heads with authorities, but when called out he won't really back up his words with physical actions, prefering to hide if possible.
Biography: If you look back on Derrek's childhood you would see a little one with more energy than should be humanly possible. Quick to make friends, but just as quick to make enemies, typically with whatever adult was tending the flock. He wound up in detention often, where he eventually figured out how to be less conspicuous in his actions. Crime fiction has always perked Derrek's interest, and fueled his shenanigans, such as the desire to learn to pick locks.

Last summer is when his energy seemed to shut off suddenly, but not his pranks, so he was sent to boarding school. Actually it was a few of boarding schools, all of which kicked out Derrek soon after enrolling for various misdeeds, which couldn't really be proved, but couldn't really be anyone else. Arclight was a bit expensive, but with no other choice Derrik's parents made up there mind, with an ultimatum. Stay out of trouble or out of our home. Unsure of whether or not his parent's were serious Derrek's days have been relitively quiet, but soon he got the message that would soon disrupt his sleep cycle: at least one club or activity is mandatory at Arclight. Derrek's though process: "Hey, I was invited to that archive club deal, that sounds just boring enough to sleep right through"... He has noticed his 'psycic' abilities somewhat, as willing a fire alarm enough seems to pull it, skirts can't seem to stay still long around him, etc. Either that or coincidences REALLY like to follow him around.
Arte: Artes Dormientis
Limits:
Skill(s): He is good at riddles and a compedent novice at lock picking, one of which might become redundant when he realizes he can just move the tumblers where he needs them.
Weapon(s):
Roommate:

I'm holding you to that.

Chapter 3 is live.

No chapter 2 awards this time around?

Actually I completely forgot about those! I definitely have a few in mind.

You also said this on page 11. Are the upgrades gonna becoming soon?

They'll both be coming together.

Update: Post will be coming tomorrow, I spent all day working on something vital for the next post since it'll be coming up more than once again in the future -__- Finally. It is done.

Chapter 2 Level UP~

Logan:Logan can only call on support from Allan McWilliam, who fought in the Wars for Scottish Independence under Andrew Moray. He is granted chain mail, a dirk, and a targe shield, which he can sustain for an hour. He is now also capable of manifesting a claymore. > Logan calls on support from Allan McWilliam, an ancestor who fought in the Wars for Scottish Independence under Andrew Moray. This particular ancestor grants him chain mail, a dirk, and a targe shield, which he can sustain for two hours. His spirit has recently begun to stir providing him with the perfect conditions to call upon another ancestor to draw new weapons and abilities.

Johnny: Up to three sigils at a time may be placed without sending Johnny unconscious and he may trigger a sigil mentally so long as it is within one metre of himself. > Johnny may place four sigils at one time without going unconscious. He may trigger his sigils through touch, oral command, or mental command from an area of five metres (16 ft) of himself. His sigils have also become harder to remove for reasons not quite understood.

Li: Li is a third year Fluunt Disciple. At this point has a very stable and developed control over "the flow". By imbuing his hands with energy he is capable of exorcising common spirits. Imbuing objects with spiritual energy has become second nature to him and he is capable of setting up spirit wards and binds. He is just beginning to learn how to use his "third eye" though it drains him greatly, though with great concentration he has managed to accomplish a very limited levitation for the time being. > Li has an incredible control over "the flow", allowing him to use it powerfully and efficiently. By imbuing his hands with energy he is capable of exorcising common spirits, lesser demons and weakened Exitium. Imbuing objects with spiritual energy is a simple matter that requires little energy and he is confident in his ability to set up spirit wards and binds. He is still learning to master the "third eye"; should he activate it, his senses are heightened to great extents allowing him to sense individuals, objects, etc, both spiritual and physical, in a vast perimeter all within a few seconds. His levitation has only slightly increased allowing him to effectively fly at a moderately slow pace.

Evelyn: Evelyn’s soul of light allows her to conjure up to three light wisps at a time. She can control these wisps freely providing light and minimal heat. She can also control them so that they hit with concussive force, though they do not technically “explode” Her soul of flight allows her to fly for temporary periods of time at a speed faster than an average human running. She has a finessed control over her flight path. > Evelyn's soul of light allows her to conjure up to five light wisps at a time. Each of these wisps are approximately the size of soccer balls, providing both light and minimal heat. Her wisps have taken on an explosive nature, allowing them to explode once they hit their target or on her mental command, however she can also have them hit solely with a concussive force. She may also exude a "light veil" blinding her enemies as well as the untouched from seeing anything within the area of her veil. Her soul of flight has allowed her to become a proficient and confident flyer capable of flying for extended periods at a pace faster than the average human being running.

Maximilian: Maximilian's grasp over water manipulation remains more fine-tuned than his peers of the Artes Naturae. His control over water is similar to that of the body movements of a young child, not quite erratic, though lacking finesse. Maximilian has grown more connected to water allowing him to sense it within three metres of himself as well being able to manipulate it from that distance. He is capable of breathing underwater for extended periods of time. > Maximilian has a fine-tuned control over water. He can control streams of water with fairly complex movements, though lacking in finesse. He can sense and manipulate water within five metres (16 ft) of himself and can breathe under water with ease. His connection to water seems to have influenced his spirit as well, as he has attained a heightened sense of the paranormal akin to the Spiritorum or Fluunt. His abilities have also allowed him to freeze standing water, but he cannot yet control it once it has been frozen.

Dom: Dom is still relatively new to his abilities, and seeing as he is an air disciple he has plenty of opportunity to manipulate it at will. Using his body movements he can will the wind to move around him, however because he is still new to his abilities, directing the wind without using movement is beyond his abilities. The greater the movement, the stronger the wind. > Dom is still coming to terms with his abilities though he can now control when and when he does not want to cause the wind to stir while moving. By moving his body he can will the wind to do his bidding, with the greater the movement the greater the movement of wind. He is only now just beginning to learn how to have the wind move through his mental will, though he can only cause it to blow in one direction.

Damian: Damian, still new to his abilities is capable of generating a field of electricity around himself that disrupts electronic devices. He can also release bolts of lightning, present two at a time. His soul of glass has the ability to turn himself completely invisible for 3 minutes. > Through Damian's soul of lightning, he is capable of generating a field of electricity around himself that disrupts electronic devices. He also has developed a fairly limited control over electronic devices, causing them to open or close, or turn off or on, at his command. He can release bolts of green lightning from the palm of his hands, though he cannot release continuous streams without overexerting himself. His soul of glass has continued to develop and he is now able to stay invisible for 15 minutes.

Tsubaki: Tsubaki as a second year student is able to project her sigils as well as write them onto anything. Sigils that manifest a certain thing can only last for 10 minutes while sigils that have an effect on a being, can only last for 5 minutes > Tsubaki is quite capable of projecting her sigils onto anything or have them float in the air for 5 minutes. Her sigils that manifest an item will last for up to 20 minutes without exhaustion, while her sigils that cause effects will last for 10 minutes.

Lotus: Lotus is capable of calling forth her white tiger, Dot, who may fight on her behalf. Drawing on the energy of Dot, Lotus is also capable of manifesting extremely sharp claws for nails and near-silent stepping. > Lotus has come to control when and when she does not want her white tiger, Dot, to appear. By using Dot's energy, Lotus is capable of manifesting extremely sharp claws for nails, near-silent stepping, enhanced night-vision, and incredible acrobatic proficiency. Lotus has also developed an ability to talk to various feline species.

Daniel: Daniel has a rudimentary grasp of his abilities. He can manipulate glass freely through his touch alone, though he still has yet to control it with his mind. He can manipulate his reflection, allowing him to have it do various actions on his behalf though extended use becomes draining for the boy. Illusions will still have an effect on him, though he is more likely to snap out of them before anyone else. On very rare occasions he can see the future in reflections, though he cannot will this to happen. > Daniel can manipulate glass freely while touching it, and has now begun to learn how to adjust the shape of glass slightly through the power of his mind alone. He can manipulate his reflection, allowing him to have it do various actions on his behalf, though if he focuses for over twenty minutes his power will be drained. Illusions have a slight effect on him, though he is the first to realize their false nature. On random instances, he will see the future in the reflection of objects, though he cannot control when this happens. His magical potential allows him to wield cleromancy with ease, and stareomancy in short bursts.

The awards for this chapter will go up later....when I have time.

Also, Deciton, choose another sigil. You're second year so you should have a greater repertoire.

Tsubaki will train up on using Vis.
