Hara Berezaiti: Page of Chronos

Current Weapon: A pink and glittering scarf. Maybe she can wrap it up into a rat tail and snap it at you? Not particularly threatening.
New Weapon: No change!

Current Magic: What do you have currently?
New Magic: NA-Page

Squire
Current Weapon: A pink and glittering scarf, now with slightly more ornate patterns woven into it in fine thread. The central motif seems to be the symbol of Chronos:
New Weapon: Same as above but adding: The ends of the scarf have been slightly weighted with tiny beads, the largest the size of a BB. These are not heavy enough to cause damage, but give the scarf more heft, making it easier to swing and wrap, or possibly entangle

Current Magic: No larger than the original scarf, Hali can wrap this scarf around a subject, or the subject and herself, forming a temporary barrier between them and attack, as long as she holds both ends of the scarf (Like a protective circle.) Both ends must be held, and the magic can only fully shield damage up to Squire equivalent, for an total of one minute a day. Higher level attacks may be (very) slightly reduced, but will not be fully blocked.
New Magic: No change

Knight:
Current Weapon: A large stole style scarf in green, pink, and gold with patterning that suggests mountain ranges and vines, with the Chronos symbol as the 'sun'.
New Weapon: Scar as above with modifications: "Like the Page level scarf, this scarf has been weighted with beads in it's creation, making it easier to swing, though these beads are heavy enough to give it heft, their purpose is not damage, but maneuverability.

Current Magic:
Hali can wrap the scarf around herself and up to two others, holding both ends of the scarf as a circle of protection, shielding from attacks up to Knight equivalent for up to two minutes a day. Higher level attacks may be slightly reduced, but not enough to stop them entirely.
New Magic: No Change


Summons Creature: a Simorgh ((basically " a peacock with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion(ess)"))
Summons Ability: Legendarily a creature of benevolence and wisdom, and tied to the legends of Hara Berezaiti as a place of healing and protection, the Simorgh does not attack, but spreads it's tail and briefly summons an eight foot area 'gate' representing the Wonder of Hara Brezaiti. Illusionary plants and luminescent white flowers spring up around the area, symbolic of the safety and purity of the area, which stands to protect those within it's borders (order or people who are not currently seeking the harm of Hara herself or her allies). In spite of legend, there is no healing from the flowers, or from the area, only brief sanctuary. The Simorgh does not (Cannot?) attack foes, only creates a this temporary barrier against attacks. When the Simorgh is dismissed, the illusionary plants and flowers also fade from existence. Picked flowers also fade out.

((IDK trying to base it a little off stuff in the wiki about the creature and the Wonder.))

Babylon Knight of Mercury

Current Weapon: "a large, ornate lantern"
New Weapon: "A large lantern shaped like a multi-pointed star and made of colored glass, set in a gold wire cage and suspended on a gold chain. It emits blue light." (So basically the exact same thing he has right now, but with an accurate description instead of a half-assed I'll just let the colorist come up with something and hope it looks cool one.)

Squire
Current Magic: As a squire, Babylon wields a hand-held hurricane lantern, the light of which can grant a small accuracy boost to a single ally for about a minute.
New Magic: I would like to keep a version of this spell as secondary magic, since Babylon is a knight and allowed to have two attacks. (Is this still the case?) "Babylon raises his lantern to eye level and singles out an ally with a beam of light. The target of this attack is granted a small accuracy boost for as long as he is able to keep the light trained on them, up to a minute. This attack draws from the same magic pool as his knight level attack and any time spent using it takes away from the time he can spend using his knight attack." Ignore this, I'm an idiot who only read half the relevant threads before typing this. Please see on the knight power I have introduced, as that is the magic I would like to focus on.

Knight
Current Magic: As a knight, Babylon wields a large, ornate lantern, the light of which can grant a larger accuracy boost to a single ally for a little over a minute.
New Magic: "Babylon raises his lantern to eye level, and the light flares to illuminate a circle with a ten-foot radius. Anyone moving within the light for the duration of the spell becomes unable to lie to or otherwise conceal their true intentions from Babylon, including being unable to sneak up on him. This spell can be used for up to two minutes per day, but he does not have to use the entire magic pool all at once."

Summons Creature: An average-sized (~120 lbs, 45 inches nose to base of tail) snow leopard, with light gray fur, dark gray spotting, and very light blue eyes which glow in a way reminiscent of Babylon's lantern. Babylon's ancestor called her by the name Reut, so Babylon calls her Reut as well.
Summons Ability: When summoned, Reut functions similarly to a heads-up display and defense system, prowling a wide circle around Babylon. While she pays no attention to attacks that he is aware of and able to defend against, she will intercept an attacker that would otherwise catch Babylon off-guard, absorbing the damage and inflicting clawing damage equivalent to the damage done against her. Once she has absorbed an attack, Reut vanishes and cannot be summoned for twenty-four hours. If the battle ends without Reut absorbing an attack, she may be summoned again in twelve hours.

My intention with Babylon's magic has always been to interpret the intelligence/knowledge aspect of Mercury as "revealing information." Along those lines, his knight magic "reveals" the true intentions of those within the area of effect and his summons magic "reveals" danger he would otherwise be unaware of. When I drafted his original attacks, the knights faction was very new and I deliberately under-powered him in hopes that it would improve my chances of having the quest accepted. Now that I have seen what other people have done for their magic, I am grateful for the opportunity to rewrite his attacks and make them a) more powerful and b) more specific to him and his story.

Darn. wink I'll go with shielding, then. How's this?

HVERGELMIR PAGE OF THE COSMOS

SQUIRE -
Current Weapon: A distaff and spindle of gold-painted wood, connected by wool in the process of being wound into thread.
New Weapon: No Changes!

Current Magic: Weaving the Fabric of the Universe: Hvergelmir spins out thread from her distaff onto her spindle; anyone within ten feet of her during her spell will experience what appears to be the fabric of the universe trying to weave itself compactly down into your line of sight. This is like viewing your entire environment reflected in the concave side of a spoon, or wearing beer goggles: while you can still perceive the environment around you, everything’s a bit warped and out of whack in your eyes. The distortion mainly causes stumbling and mild vertigo. Its effects are indiscriminately applied -- allies and bystanders are equally penalized if they come within her ten-foot radius. (Only Hvergelmir herself can see normally.) The effect lasts for up to thirty seconds total per battle, or as long as Hvergelmir can maintain focus, keep spinning her thread, and channel her magic. The easiest way to overcome the spell's effects on you is to simply step out of the impact zone. The second easiest way is to disrupt Hvergelmir from spinning her thread.
New Magic: Hvergelmir spins out thread from her distaff onto her spindle; light sparks up from the thread of her weapon and begins to cover her, illuminating her like a small, bright star. This is useful as a defense mechanism -- looking directly at her becomes nearly impossible, and can cause temporary blindness if you try to keep doing it for more than a few moments. The effect lasts for up to 45 seconds total per battle, or as long as Hvergelmir can maintain focus, keep spinning her thread, and channel her magic. The easiest way stop the spell is to disrupt Hvergelmir from spinning her thread.

SQUIRE -
Current Weapon: The most beautiful distaff in the world? An ornate carved distaff and spindle, made of gold-painted wood, with the wool now nearly fully spun onto the spindle in tidy thread.
New Weapon: No Changes!

Current Magic: Eternity in a Grain of Sand: A stronger version of the same squire-level spell — at this stage, anyone within ten feet of Hvergelmir while she spellcasts will now find themselves more completely disoriented — your vision has now bugged out so badly that everything seems warped as though you’re viewing it through a glass sphere. Your vision is attempting to warp itself around the whole universe, and project that all onto your retinal wall, including things that are directly behind you and things that are on the other side of the globe and things that are beyond the expanse of the galaxy — what you see is a sort of strange, shifting kaleidoscopic nonsense, everything at once, but compressed into impossible, unimaginably tiny pixels, and all wrapped around itself. At this level, you’re generally unable to make any visual sense of your surroundings. (Dizziness and stumbling are dependent upon how well your character reacts to blindness/visual overload.) Your other senses still remain intact. The effect lasts for up to thirty seconds total per battle, or as long as Hvergelmir can maintain focus, keep spinning her thread, and channel her magic. The easiest way to overcome the spell's effects on you is to simply step out of the impact zone. The second easiest way is to disrupt Hvergelmir from spinning her thread.
New Magic: Hvergelmir spins out thread from her distaff onto her spindle; light sparks up from the thread of her weapon and begins to cover her, illuminating her like a small, bright star, capable of projecting a single, bright beacon of light into the air. This is useful as a defense mechanism -- looking directly at her becomes nearly impossible, and can cause temporary blindness if you try to keep doing it for more than a few moments -- and at this stage, the light is focused and powerful enough to shine a beacon high into the air that serves as a useful distress signal to nearby/non-powered-up allies. The effect lasts for up to 45 seconds total per battle, or as long as Hvergelmir can maintain focus, keep spinning her thread, and channel her magic. The easiest way stop the spell is to disrupt Hvergelmir from spinning her thread.

Summons Creature: A pantheon -- Hvergelmir's summons appears to be a standard-sized caribou with midnight blue fur flecked with white like stars, crowned with golden antlers.
Summons Ability: Hvergelmir's summons cannot attack or defend, but has the ability to grant a single teleportation per battle. Unlike Negaversers, this ability is limited -- the most distance she can travel is about from one end of the city to the other: 15 miles or less. Her summons can carry the weight equivalent of Hvergelmir plus one other fully grown person/two small children.

Since Hvergelmir has no magic and no weapon that can do damage, and no magic and no weapon that can block/absorb/defend against damage, I wanted to give her a summons that instead offers her the chance to try and avoid damage, and magic that helps her summon allies to her aid. Please let me know if anything needs changing/clarifying!

Page Themiscyra of Mars

Summons Creature: An average sized black warhorse whose mane and tail are made of fire, and burning cracks rise from her hooves up parts of her legs. Vaguely similar to Rapidash! Minus the horn. So extra-flamey Ponyta, really.
Summons Ability: When the warhorse rears back and its front hooves strike the ground once more, a thick line of fire forms two feet in front of the horse to act as a temporary barrier between it and the opponents. The fire barrier stretches out 10 feet in total length. The fires themselves do not burn either the ground they touch, or the people who get near them, though trying to pass through the fires shows they are still heated and uncomfortable to stand too close to. The barrier stands for 30 seconds and only acts as a barrier against physical attacks. Magical attacks can still be sent through the fires.

Camlann Squire of Saturn

Summons Creature: An eldritch creature that appears to be equal parts whale skeleton and skeletal horse. Not something you want to see out of the corner of your eye in a dark alley. As tall as Camlann.
Summons Ability: The creature, once summoned, focuses upon one of the Order-side combatants on the field and attacks them. Should it draw blood, thirty seconds from the target's magic pool (or one spell use, if a senshi) will be given to Camlann to restore his own pool of energy. His magic cannot be restored past his maximum spell pool (so he will never have more than 75 seconds on his knight level magic). Once the energy is taken, the creature is dispelled.
