Advance Among Ashes

Path of Manipulator:

Zeal: Ash - "Know thyself, what thou want, what thou desires, what thou could die for, thou own, treasured above all, name. Thee as a person, which forever shall be unchanged."

Current Advancement(Level): Low - Ash (Each Advancement is itself divided into 4 parts: Low, Medial, High, Complete; Each subdivision as less difference and do not require a ritual to advance)

All Advancements: Ash, Colony, Swarm, Manipulator (Note: the name of a level is symbolic of its ability)

Description (Ash): Like as the ash pile, weak, insignificant alone, but just like that same ash. A pile's warmth, surges beyond self. As the centre, which fire holds, which eventually, shall burn down forests.

Ability:

  1. Call of Warmth: Like the central warmth you are, able, to attract those pathless, needing guide. (You are able to convert a currently pathless person into your ideology, by placing a zeal onto their soul, which is not affected by its distance to you, said person will be more incline with your opinions, and subconsciously feel at ease around you. To convert, your soul must be stronger than the victim)

Ps: The soul strength is not determined by your power or level, but by your belief ---- How much of a Zealot you are, how determined you are.

  1. Warmth Giver: Whence shall be your fire which burns, whom around you, shall feel their destiny. (You are able to give a command to one of the person under your influence. They will not follow this command absentminded, but this ability will make them a lot more inclined to follow said command. Works once per 24 hours)

Passive:

  1. Ashened Link: You are able to communicate with people under your influence telepathically within 100 metres radius. (Will be indicated by '' instead of the normal "")

  2. Shared Fire: When within 20 metres radius, people under your influence are mentally more stable and determined. They also share a bit of their power to you (Increases your magical potency or provides physical strengthening effects)

Limitations:

  1. You are only able to influence 5 people max (Will increase as level progresses)

  2. Even though the zeal will never weaken or break itself, a third person may break it easily once found or made the person under influence gain some clarity over it. The Zeal is buried deep in a person's mind, a full soul scan is required to find it. (On a similar soul strength, a full soul scan is very hard if the scanned is resisting and takes around 3 hour to complete)

  3. The once per day command give, can not give a long lasting effect unless another soul check is done. Which if failed, will cause the Zeal within said person to break.

The Manipulator can only advance when they reach level-Complete.
