Frosted Lake (Ylva)

“You walk on water, easy breezy. The more experienced you get, the less focus you need. Eventually, you can walk on water just as easily as you walk on land. Water becomes more integral and a part of your body, a part of your soul. It almost feels like you can't be hurt by it any more.”

Novice: -2 dmg from water-type attacks.
Proficient: -4 dmg from water-type attacks.
Adept: -6 dmg from water-type attacks.
Master: -8 dmg from water-type attacks.

Cost: 0 Arc
Additional Notes: Passive skill. Reduces damage from all water-based attacks.

“You've begun to control the water. You can lift and shape water at your wish; the amount of water and complexity of the shape depends on your experience and practice. Very useful for droughts and bringing water to camp for kits and elders and others who are unable to go fetch water on their own.”

Novice: Shapes water around parts of the enemy. 10% chance of root. Deals 2 damage per each round held active.
Proficient: Shapes water around parts of the enemy. 20% chance of root. Deals 4 damage per each round held active.
Adept: Shapes water around parts of the enemy. 30% chance of root. Deals 6 damage per each round held active.
Master: Shapes water around parts of the enemy. 40% chance of root. Deals 8 damage per each round held active.

Cost: 2 Arc (+1 per round active)
Additional Notes: Root lasts 2 rounds (casting round and the following) and hinders melee basic attacks/skills. Enemies must make a saving throw each turn in order to break free of the root (30% chance of success). Elemental/skills can be used, but fire is halved and lightning doubled.

“What are cats of Water if we can't BE underwater. You are able to create a bubble around your head, a pocket of air, which enables you to walk or swim underwater without worry of drowning. Later you can create a pocket for others as well, permitting them to join you in your underwater adventures!”

Novice: Prevents drowning in self.
Proficient: Prevents drowning in self + 1 ally target.
Adept: Prevents drowning in self + 2 ally targets.
Master: Prevents drowning in self + 3 ally targets.

Cost: 2 Arc
Additional Notes: Drowning effects are moves performed by an enemy that encases you in liquid to damage your character over time. Excellent to counter abilities like the primary’s Water Manipulation or to attack from under water (doing so renders you unreachable for most foes).

“You can change the physical state of water, be it liquid, solid or gas. Solid (Ice) works great as hard offense while gas (water vapor / steam / fog) is a great way to obscure the view of an enemy or mask your movements. You can also control the water, steam, or ice you have changed and make interesting shapes out of them for show.”

Novice: Solidifies the water into an icicle and pierces the foe for 6 dmg (ice) OR breaks it apart to vapor, diminishes enemy’s accuracy by 1 (gas)
Proficient: Solidifies the water into an icicle and pierces the foe for 8 dmg (ice) OR breaks it apart to vapor, diminishes enemy’s accuracy by 2 (gas)
Adept: Solidifies the water into an icicle and pierces the foe for 10 dmg (ice) OR breaks it apart to vapor, diminishes enemy’s accuracy by 3 (gas)
Master: Solidifies the water into an icicle and pierces the foe for 12 dmg (ice) OR breaks it apart to vapor, diminishes enemy’s accuracy by 4 (gas)

Cost: 3 Arc
Additional Notes: Requires a landscape of water (novice-adepts cannot draw this skill from deserts/dry areas). Masters can draw water-substances from deserts as well, detecting the slightest trail of liquid down below. Gas doesn’t stack, but applies a permanent debuff on the target based on their mastery level.

“You can use water to heal yourself or an ally for a little bit of health and energy! While it cannot provide yourself with accurate medical care, it can be useful when in a pinch! The higher the mastery, the larger and more serious the wounds can be treated with water therapy. Fills the patient with a sense of calm and coolness provided by the water being used. Perfect for cleaning out wounds as well!”

Novice: Heals for 6 TGH.
Proficient: Heals for 8 TGH.
Adept: Heals for 10 TGH.
Master: Heals for 12 TGH.

Cost: 3 Arc
Additional Notes: While not precise, it can help prevent a cat from bleeding out or getting a serious infection. Especially useful for muscle soreness and tension.

Cats at Novice/Proficient can heal kits back to full health while cats at Adept/Master can heal apprentices back to full health. (Barring any buffs the ally may have.)

“Your control of water is faster and more precise, and you can now create a whip made of water that can be used to lash at prey or enemies. With more training the precision is increased further, permitting you to accurately strike objects far away. It can't be used as a lasso, but it can certainly strike like a snake!”

Novice: Lashes at the enemy, twice a turn for 5 dmg per blow. (10 total)
Proficient: Lashes at the enemy, twice a turn for 6 dmg per blow. (12 total)
Adept: Lashes at the enemy, twice a turn for 7 dmg per blow. (14 total)
Master: Lashes at the enemy, twice a turn for 8 dmg per blow. (16 total)

Cost: 4 Arc
Additional Notes: In the casting round, the two attacks are guaranteed to hit. Must still roll to hit for both lashes after initial cast. Accuracy on the second hit +2. Lasts until interrupted (damaged by enemy, using other skills) at all tiers.

“You can change the viscosity of the water, making it more fluid and harder to gain control of, or less so and hard to move through or rid oneself of. I.e higher viscosity makes the water thick like honey, and lower makes it less dense, like air. Can help change the flow of rivers and gives the Water Tribers perfect control of its rowdy nature!”

Novice: Higher viscosity: Makes the liquid thick, like honey, and lays it over the enemy, suppressing movement. Lowers the speed stat by 2. 35% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Lower viscosity: Makes the liquid extremely thin, splashing it over the ground and making it extremely slippery. Lowers accuracy on basic attacks by 1. 35% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Proficient: Higher viscosity: Makes the liquid thick, like honey, and lays it over the enemy, suppressing movement. Lowers the speed stat by 3. 30% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Lower viscosity: Makes the liquid extremely thin, splashing it over the ground and making it extremely slippery. Lowers accuracy on basic attacks by 2. 30% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Adept: Higher viscosity: Makes the liquid thick, like honey, and lays it over the enemy, suppressing movement. Lowers the speed stat by 4. 25% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Lower viscosity: Makes the liquid extremely thin, splashing it over the ground and making it extremely slippery. Lowers accuracy on basic attacks by 3. 25% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Master: Higher viscosity: Makes the liquid thick, like honey, and lays it over the enemy, suppressing movement. Lowers the speed stat by 5. 20% chance of affecting the party upon cast.
Lower viscosity: Makes the liquid extremely thin, splashing it over the ground and making it extremely slippery. Lowers accuracy on basic attacks by 4. 20% chance of affecting the party upon cast.

Cost: 4 Arc
Additional Notes: Must roll for all allies. Affects the target for the remainder of the fight. Could change initiative/turn order. Can stack with other skills’ debuffs.

“You are incredibly attuned to water. You can feel it around you now, and your sensing of it is very fine. With this, you are able to pull water out of the world around you (grass, trees, plants, water trapped in rocks, even water in other animals), and your manipulation of it is excellent. As long as there's water around, you're able to make use of it!”

Novice: Pulls water from the surroundings and creates a water-armor that defends against fire-attacks (completely), 30% chance to dodge incoming attacks of other kind (skills, basic attacks etc.). Can take 2 hits.
Proficient: Pulls water from the surroundings and creates a water-armor that defends against fire-attacks (completely), 40% chance to dodge incoming attacks of other kind (skills, basic attacks etc.). Can take 3 hits.
Adept: Pulls water from the surroundings and creates a water-armor that defends against fire-attacks (completely), 50% chance to dodge incoming attacks of other kind (skills, basic attacks etc.). Can take 4 hits.
Master: Pulls water from the surroundings and creates a water-armor that defends against fire-attacks (completely), 60% chance to dodge incoming attacks of other kind (skills, basic attacks etc.). Can take 5 hits.

Cost: 4 Arc
Additional Notes: Fire-attacks do not shed the armor (note that heat-based attacks or extremely warm environment can make the armor evaporate faster! ie: reduces number of hits by 1).

"With enough water you can cover the ground with ice, potentially freezing the feet of your enemies to immobilize them, or simply giving them unstable ground. Or you can send a ray of ice over the ground directly towards your enemy to freeze them. Also makes it possible to make neat ice rinks for winter activities!"

Novice: Lowers accuracy by 1. 40% chance of rooting enemies.
Proficient: Lowers accuracy by 2. 50% chance of rooting enemies.
Adept: Lowers accuracy by 3. 60% chance of rooting enemies.
Master: Lowers accuracy by 4. 70% chance of rooting enemies.

Cost: 0 Arc
Additional Notes: Ice melts after 5 turns (a successful root thus roots the enemy for 5 turns). Accuracy debuff affects everyone but the caster, but is removed when the ice melts.

"By manipulating the water droplets in the air, the user can create a small cloud of rain that soothes the surrounding area. Useful for putting out fires or watering a garden, this rain also has a magical healing effect for cats caught underneath it. It is soothing to the touch."

Novice: A rain cloud is summoned, healing 7 TGH per ally.
Proficient: A rain cloud is summoned, healing 8 TGH per ally.
Adept: A rain cloud is summoned, healing 9 TGH per ally.
Master: A rain cloud is summoned, healing 10 TGH per ally.

Cost: 5 Arc
Additional Notes: AOE affects all allies in range. In dry climates, it will take one turn to summon the rain before taking effect next turn. Rain cloud can be blown away by an enemy, so watch out! Must be recast each round.

"You have learned how to pressurize the water and can now create tendrils similar to the Water Whip, but these are attached to your body as if they were extra limbs or tails. With pressure, the water can be semi-solid but still fluid like water, enabling you to grasp or whip things with more precision. The more experienced you are, the finer your movements."

Novice: Restricts enemy with tendrils (root, 2 rounds) OR slams into the enemy for 14 dmg, +7 per turn held active.
Proficient: Restricts enemy with tendrils (root, 3 rounds) OR slams into the enemy for 16 dmg, + 8 per turn held active.
Adept: Restricts enemy with tendrils (root, 4 rounds) OR slams into the enemy for 18 dmg, +9 per turn held active.
Master: Restricts enemy with tendrils (root, 5 rounds) OR slams into the enemy for 20 dmg, +10 per turn held active.

Cost: 5 Arc (+3 per round active)
Additional Notes: Enemy performs a saving throw each turn, 30% chance of success. Other skills/physical attacks may be performed alongside your "partner". The arm retracts after equally many rounds as the root would have lasted in the case of the offensive choice.

"Using water to your benefit, you can get it to rise up behind you and give you extra strength, using it to add more force to your jump. This is particularly helpful to get up on high ledges, cross large crevices in the ground, etc. As you practice this, you may even be able to use it to fling opponents away! Allows the user to walk through the sky if it is raining!"

Novice: Disrupts the enemy during their attack. Deals 14 damage upon the following turn as the target drops from the sky.
Proficient: Disrupts the enemy during their attack. Deals 16 damage upon the following turn as the target drops from the sky.
Adept: Disrupts the enemy during their attack. Deals 18 damage upon the following turn as the target drops from the sky.
Master: Disrupts the enemy during their attack. Deals 20 damage upon the following turn as the target drops from the sky. 70% chance of stunning the enemy, hindering its move for 2 rounds.

Cost: 5 Arc
Additional Notes: First round, the enemy becomes "flying" and may not be able to be targeted by basic attacks/melee ranged attacks. Second round is when the enemy hits the ground and is dealt additional damage. At Master, the enemy has a chance to become stunned. Grounded foes cannot be inflicted by this skill - at most be disrupted (unable to attack that round).

“You are able to control the water molecules in the air, rapidly heating them up to turn liquid water into steam to then use as an attack to burn your foes! Depending on the level of mastery one has, the more severe the burn will be.

Note: Misuse on a tribecat will result in exile!”

Cost: 6 Arc
Additional Notes: N/A

“You are able to control the water molecules in the air, slowing them down and cooling them to turn liquid water into spears of ice to then use as an attack against your foes! These spears are extremely fragile and may break upon impact, however, so take caution while using them! The ice is cold to the touch, but does not melt due to your magic. The higher your skill level, the stronger the ice becomes.”

“You can change your entire body into water and make yourself entirely impervious to the needs of an average, mortal cat, and move through the water entirely unseen. You have control over holding the water of your body together, but the consequence to this is that you can only use this skill for so long before you begin to fall apart, which could spell devastating physical repercussions to your body. With practice, you can increase your time using this skill.”

Novice: Manifests into a torrent cloak. Blocks 18 Dmg. Torrent Cloak can regenerate as long as it's held cast when it hits 0, otherwise it disintegrates when it reaches 0.

Master: Manifests into a torrent cloak. Blocks 24 Dmg. Torrent Cloak can regenerate as long as it's held cast when it hits 0, otherwise it disintegrates when it reaches 0.

Cost: 6 Arc
Additional Notes: MUST be canceled manually. Consumes a turn to end. Leaving it toggled past the tier’s turn limit will start applying damage to the caster each turn.

“You can now encase yourself with water, creating an entirely new being that you control. The more experience you have, and the more water, the bigger you can make your Water Monster! This takes a lot of concentration and energy to sustain, and if you are somehow knocked from the monster, it will immediately return into puddles of water.

The shape of each cat's Kraken is unique, though it mostly resembles a giant octopus or squid with the water arms. Any and all designs must be checked by an admin for approval.”

Novice: The additional arms deal 6 dmg each round (24 total to a single target).
Proficient: The additional arms deal 7 dmg each round (28 total to a single target).
Adept: The additional arms deal 8 dmg each round (32 total to a single target).

Up to 4 different enemies can be targeted, one for each arm and must be specified if attacking separately or together. This skill is canceled if an enemy attack hits the caster or the user casts another skill.

“The caster is able to turn any surrounding water into slush, snow, or even ice. Using their skill of controlling water in every form, they can then proceed to blow this into a large blizzard, increasing in size with mastery that can deal massive damage to the surrounding enemies. Other primaries can join in to create a mighty force to be reckoned with, but be careful that a storm may grow out of control if not monitored properly. Perfect for creating a winter wonderland for others to enjoy, even in the heat of summer~!”

Novice: Creates a local blizzard that deals 12 dmg to all enemies. Lasts 2 rounds. Speed is reduced by 1. Chance to lose control of the blizzard: 40%

Cost: 7 Arc
Additional Notes: Cannot be cast in tropical and volcanic areas, unless snow has been summoned. Snow melts faster in hotter areas, so effects are halved. Speed stat is temporarily reduced for the duration of the blizzard and can stack if others join in. Both allies and enemies are affected by the debuff, so use this skill wisely! Can change the order of initiative.

"You are a master of the element of water; you can sense every single drop around you, and you know how to manipulate it all. You can even sense the water in another being's body and as such you can control them. This demands every bit of your focus, and a strong being can break free."

NOTE: Using this on another tribe-cat will result in exile.

“In a last ditch effort, the user may expand their own molecules and turn their form into a misty gas, almost like a fog. Lasting for a few rounds, depending on mastery, the cat lingers on and is able to lend its support until the fog burns away and they are knocked out for the remainder of the fight. The fog is misty and full of snow crystals, and the user is temporarily intangible. Some cats even say the fog hangs around like a halo, giving the appearance of an angelic being. Is that a melody I hear...?”

Novice: Revives with 70% of max health.
Proficient: Revives with 80% of max health.
Adept: Revives with 90% of max health.
Master: Revives with 100% of max health.

The ultimate skill, this skill allows the user to embrace the power and raw element of their spirit at a percentage based on mastery. The more proficient you are the more extreme the changes to your body are. This is a last resort and uses a lot of arcane energy. Only one other skill can be used with this active at a time! (Regular arcane cost of the skill applies)

Novice: 25% spirit power absorption- 2x Damage, +10 to Toughness
Proficient: 50% spirit power absorption- 2x Damage, +15 to Toughness, +5 Arcane pool
