Name of Magic; Staves of Etherium
Type/Subtype of Magic; Holder
Current Rank; S
Description; A magic that Mako adopted after losing his ability to cast his signature magic. Though the world uses many types of holder magic, Mako was most keen on using the most common tool of a wizard, the staff. Mako knew that a requip magic would be ideal for this form of Holder magic but found himself incapable of using magic in that way. Unlike lacrima staves used by most other wizards these staves all carry a unique magic, so when held by Mako they respond to his particular magic energy, and although each staff is singularly purposed to only cast a single spell or grant singular types of abilities, they respond to the wielders Magical potency. Though Mako was drained of his ability to use Caster style magics, the fact that he was once able to makes this a very unique Magic type. Somewhat different than other casters who use the Magical Staves type Holder magic. Mako either found, purchased, commissioned, or made all of the Staves in his collection and personally attuned them to his magical energy. Staves are the ultimate in holder magic for casters with high spell power, and are the signature weapons of great Magi, though arguably wands make a close second. Additionally by using the staves magic Mako has found a way to create spells with differing effects.
Information;
Strengths
- Versatility
Gives the caster access to a large variety of Magical abilities without forcing them to learn multiple magical abilities
-Potent Magic
Unlike many forms of holder magic this ability does not utilize the physical forms of fighting for many reasons, as such the potency of the magic in the staffs is higher than normal holder magics.
-Balanced
Has a good variety of Offensive, defensive and supportive Magics available to him due to the variety of magics among the staves
Weaknesses
-Frail
The staffs are not the most durable of weapons in existence and cannot handle a great deal of damage.
-Enchantment
If a staff is broken Mako loses access to the magic that staff held until it is fixed.
-Equipping
Unlike requip magic the user must carry all of his staves around with him where he goes and must switch between them on the fly without aid.
Traits;
-Master of Staves- Mako's personal skill grows with the staves as he grows more adept at using them.
At D rank, may only use one staff at a time and must be held.
At C rank you may use two staves but those staves must be held in each hand.
At B Rank the staves become attuned to him, all staves 1 rank below his highest can be called to him from 10 feet away. the staff will come him at a speed equal to his spell power.
At A rank a caster can use staves without holding them activating them remotely but may only have 2 staves active.
At S rank the caster can activate up to 3 staves simultaneously, with up to 2 being remote activation.
-Attunement- The Staves feed off of Mako's magical energy making the effects of each staff more powerful the more powerful Mako is. For each Rank above D the staves magic will increase slightly, making for increased effects. The effective increase will be listed in the staff description.
-Item carrier-Even though the Staves are considered items, they are unique wherein they do not count against item limits on a person and don't have to be paid for unless they are broken. However a caster cannot have other weapons or armor on their person.
-Staff Spell-In addition to being able to use the staves for their abilities, Mako can also channel the magical energy from the Staves to cast his own spells that vary in effect. These are called staff spells and work by activating a set amount of Staves without using their effect to channel into Spell effects that Mako chooses.

Name of Spell; Staff of the Magnus
Type; Offensive/Long range
Rank; S
Description; When activated the tip of the staff releases 5 rays of light that fly incredibly fast through the air in the direction of their target. Not all 5 rays have to be fired at the same target. The rays are semi corporeal and will go through Non magical surfaces to reach their target. If topped by a magical effect such as a wall or barrier unless it is S rank it will be dispelled but the ray will cease its flight. However these rays don't do any actual damage as their sole purpose is to drain magical energy. So upon connecting with a form of magic it will dispel it if the rank is below S, additionally if it connects with a Magical person or entity each ray will drain 20% of that persons magical stores, if drained the caster of this spell will gain half of what was taken (10%). The rays fire in a straight line however and if they miss any targets they will fly until out of range and dispel themselves.The rays do not have to be fired at the same time or target but must all be fired in the same post.
