Official Move Approval IV

[Arle Nadja]

Changes are in bold.

I wasn't sure how Ice was OP, since it was intended to be an almost exact clone of her "Fire" spell only element shifted and with a mental debuff instead of a physical one. ^^; I have changed it to be something of a middle ground between "Fire" and "Thunder" though, so hopefully it's better..?

Also, I took "Healing" to the move workshop since I was really unsatisfied with what I had created. The revised version I put up there got good responses, so I've replaced the old version with it.

Panotti Flute (Fodder)
A humble elven flute that, when played, returns an echo if it detects an inanimate object containing a decently strong latent magical energy in the general area. It does not, however, tell you exactly where the item is or what the item is. So basically, you walk into town and it returns an echo, but good luck because it could be anywhere in town and it's not going to help you any more than that.

"Ice" (300 OM; Ranged Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency)
Arle incants the spell name aloud, conjuring a foot long icicle that exhudes a cloud of wintery energy before her that she can manipulate using her body while it is in close proximity to her. This allows her to launch the icicle as a pretty projectile at the target. This spell has a minor impact upon Arle's stamina, however because it must be incanted and directed at the opponent before it can actually become dangerous it is always somewhat telegraphed. Casting and launching the spell takes a good two seconds of charge up assuming ideal conditions. and cannot be used at all if Arle cannot speak. Note that the distinction is her being able to speak; she does not need to be heard for the spell to work. She could, for example, theoretically cast this spell while underwater or in space--but not while choking. This icicle's primary method of damage is penetration, attempted or otherwise, similar to bullets or bladed weapons. It sails through the air at a pretty brisk speed. The icy energy it exhudes causes mild hypothermia in the target on impact. This manifests itself in a slight delirium and loss of mental falculties that gets stronger with each successive hit. The hypothermia will go away on its own, given a good 30 minutes of being in a warm location for each stack of the debuff. However, it can also be treated by exposure to a full body, dry heat to reduce the debuff's effectiveness early.

"Thunder" (300 OM; Ranged Proficiency, Homing Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency)
Arle incants the spell name aloud and, after a half-second delay, lightning is called down from the sky to smite a foe, phasing straight through any overhanging solid objects on the way. Casting and launching the spell takes a good two seconds of charge up time as well as another second of charge up to actually incant the spell assuming ideal conditions--3 seconds total--and cannot be used at all if Arle cannot speak. Note that the distinction is her being able to speak; she does not need to be heard for the spell to work. She could, for example, theoretically cast this spell while underwater or in space--but not while choking. Because it is literally lightning-fast, this attack must generally be dodged pre-emptively, rather than reflexively. One would want to begin dodging once Arle begins incanting the attack's name, rather than waiting for her to finish, which makes it a relatively difficult attack to dodge (albeit not impossible). This attack also hits very hard, being lightning and all. The damage done is a combination of brief exposure to extreme heat and shock, as well as a forced muscle contraction that often violently knocks targets to the ground and leaves them briefly more vulnerable to followup attacks. Because of this attack's high power and reliability, it has a somewhat high drain upon Arle's stamina.


"Healing": (300 OM; Healing Power, Homing Proficiency)
By incanting the word aloud, Arle envelops a target in a warm holy aura that soothes their pains and heals their wounds. The function of this spell is to allow Arle to bestow her healing power at a range and, because it is such a powerful and strenuous spell, it consumes SP to provide its healing effect. The spell has a large range of about 20 meters and materializes directly on the target after the incantation has finished. Casting and launching the spell takes a good second of charge up assuming ideal conditions. and cannot be used at all if Arle cannot speak. Note that the distinction is her being able to speak; she does not need to be heard for the spell to work. She could, for example, theoretically cast this spell while underwater or in space--but not while choking.
