Magic: Thaumaturgy
It is the ability to bring about what is possible through science with supernatural means; although the process is considered a miracle, the result is not. The limits of Thaumaturgy have changed with time, as science evolved and Magic from the past became possible through science. There exists no impossibility for modern Magecraft within the rules of the world and limits of human intellect; there are limitations, however, where it only appears that something is possible. Because Magecraft acts as the reenactment of preexisting phenomena, it is impossible to use it to create new artifacts; even with an infinite amount of research, there exists a "wall" preventing human wisdom from doing so in the current era. The realm past this "wall" is known as Magic.

Magic Abilities: Gradation Air, Reinforcement
Gradation Air is a Thaumaturgy that materializes objects, in accordance to the caster’s imagination, through the use of magical energy. Gradation comes from the fact that the created object slowly fades away after being created, and Air is an allusion to the fact that said object is made out of “nothing”. The concept behind this Thaumaturgy is rather simple, to shape magical energy into the material composition and design of an object that is being imagined by the magus. The item is not everlasting, as it is recognized by the world as a phantasm that doesn't belong in the natural world, and it will be erased as an inconsistency. The better the image in the caster's imagination, the more stable and longer lasting the object will be, and it can be further improved by having technical knowledge of its construction, such as a blueprint, or having materials to overlay the desired shape upon.

Reinforcement is the most difficult Thaumaturgy with the purpose of pushing a basis to the utmost limit. It is the foundation of all Thaumaturgy that enhance the existence of the target by pouring Magical Energy, but as no clear expression of how much it can be enhanced is defined, almighty reinforcements are rare. It is the same as adding something to an object that is already complete, in case of failure the target will receive it as a poison. Success requires a good grasp of the inner structure to fill openings with Magical Energy. Reinforcing the purpose of existence would be increasing the sharpness of a knife, the nourishment of food, or in the case of a living creature, physical strength and durability.


Restrictions/ Weaknesses:
While Gradation Air is a more complex form of Reinforcement, it is ultimately inferior and less efficient. Comparatively speaking, if a magus uses Projection to recreate a sword while spending ten units of magical energy in the process, he will get a weapon with an overall strength of three or four. The amount of energy applied is the result of the output.

It is impossible to reinforce something vague. As living things will resist invasion of Magical Energy, reinforcing someone else is the hardest.

Skills (What your OC is capable of)

-Black Key Mastery: Black Keys  are a sacrament of the Church, one of their many charms used against demons and vampires. As Keys of Providence, they are able to call forth the original laws of nature vampires were subject to as humans, thus preventing them through purification from healing the wounds made with this weapon. They take the form of long and slender rapier-like swords with blades measuring over one meter and extremely short hilts, looking more likely to be used to thrust than slash at the opponent although they are capable of cutting concrete.

Sample Starter:

The sound of church bells ring out, the stone walls draped with red banners with gold trims, the center bearing the insignia of a swirling crest with a wing on it. Shio stood before a swirling portal, the mixing colors of purples, blues, and blacks swirled and meshed. An older man walked up to the white, shaggy haired cat boy dressed in a hoodie. "Shio, my protege, once you step through there is a chance you may not come back." He said.

"I know, master. But I have faith in the magus of the church. I shall explore this new world and report back as soon as I can." He said with assured and firm tone. Despite his young age, he was the best of their elite.

"Very well, I trust you. Do the church proud." The old man said patting SHio's back.

"I will, master. have faith." He said and walked through the portal, he walked out into a forest, birds chirping as he looked around, the portal closing behind him as he looked behind him. "Time to start heading off." He said walking through the tranquil forest.
