Shadow Claw

Posted Jan 28, 2024, 1:23:48 AM UTC

"Last chance, surrender."

Drannor's element manifests into a fire-based shadow that is hot to the touch. His manipulated bloodline allows a stronger connection to the roots of his mana flow, and with that, a number of bonuses. The increased strength in mana allows him to dissolve his visible form into smaller atoms that distorts his image entirely from sight while still present. This can only be detected by experts of the arcane or those that use special artifacts for detection that are magical in nature. Those that are unaffected by illusional magic will see a distorted version of the man that is passing through. 

Appearing and disappearing by the use of his ability will make its appearance through a black flame that resembles a frame, much like a canvas, that then slowly consumes more of his appearance until he is invisible. Another comparison would be like a sheet of paper that is burning up until only ashes remain.

Drannor can wear his black flames like armor that will be harmless to himself, but harmful to others. Typically he changes only his limbs into flames, elongating his fingers to resemble long, shadow-based claws that burn through all that they touch. Due to his control and love for nature, grass, trees, and other plant-based materials are unaffected by his flame. The dhampir has quick reflexes granted by his adopted bloodline, however they significantly weaken once he is low on blood intake. Water disrupts his magical abilities entirely, including his shadow form, once an equal volume to a bucket of water is tossed in his direction.

In combat, Drannor tends to use his shadow form for surprise attacks. The shadow claws, that are more often swapped out by his dual blades, are used with his quick reflexes to confuse and overwhelm his targets.
