Thaumiel

“Are you okay?” A voice asked as I coughed slightly. The damage wasn’t too bad and most of it was stopped outright by Agni—but I’d swallowed some lava while I was getting punched in the face and it tasted pretty horrible.

“Of course,” I said, shaking my head slightly. “It’s me after all. I couldn’t look myself in the mirror if I couldn’t shrug off something like that.”

“True,” The voice said, helping me to my feet. Or helping me upright, rather, as we were both floating in the air at the moment. “We good to go then?”

I nodded and looked up at him, smiling slightly. Gilgamesh hadn’t noticed what I’d done when I Fluctuated away from his attack—or rather, he hadn’t noticed that I’d Fluctuated twice.

I suppose that couldn’t be helped, given what he didn’t know; after all, I’d left the same place both times.

“Hey, Jaune,” I said to myself. “Still looking sexy and amazing, I see.”

“Damn straight I am,” I replied easily as I scanned the surrounding area. “You too, Jaune.”

Thaumiel (Active & Passive) LV1 EXP: 62.09% MP: Special
The Twins of God and the Duality of God. Thaumiel represents the shadow of Keter—not it’s opposite, but it’s imbalance. The nature of Keter is one of Unity; the first moment of consciousness, the light born from the darkness. It is something without concept or shape, an intangible existence that gives rise to all that follows it but which is, in its own right, formless until given shape by the Sephirot below it. And yet, at the same time, that very awareness sets Keter apart from everything else, separating it from the Light above and the nothingness that surrounds it. This contradiction is undone by the Tree of Life, however, as all paradoxes within Keter find resolution within the form given by Malkuth, balancing individuality and unity. Thaumiel, then, is simply the state of Keter in separation from Malkuth—the Dual Contending Forces and the division of that which is perfect only in Unity. This skill represents the Semblance crafted by a soul caught within the state of Thaumiel and given form by means other than Malkuth.
While Thaumiel is active, the user’s twin souls may inhabit separate bodies.
All traits, skills, stats, and meters remain unchanged; the user’s division paradoxically leaves the bodies identical.
While separated, the user’s bodies and souls remain both connected and indistinct; any beneficial effect applied to one body automatically affects the other. At the same time, status effects are also mirrored. Should one body die, the other immediately dies as well.
While Thaumiel is active, the user’s bodies may inhabit the same volume of space without reuniting or changing mass. While existing in such a state, both bodies may activate skills to affect the apparent whole and may simultaneously activate the same skill to either achieve greater effect or attack multiple targets. May have special interactions with certain skills.
This skill may only be used for short periods of time or the user risks the collapse of their forcibly divided souls.
Current Duration: 6 minutes.
