#that's why i'm not super enthused about it LMFAO .

potential concept for irys' schrift . i haven't exactly thought about it completely yet ... my brain is full of ideas , however . since irys wasn't originally intended to be a sternritter , it's sort of within her character to not become one ------ at least, that's how I feel about it. still, it's a neat concept to think about .

concept one : THE MALEDICTION . definition :ㅤ " a magical word or phrase uttered with the intention of bringing about evil or destruction; a curse. "ㅤ this ability isn't as literal as the definition makes it out to be . what the malediction does , is it requires physical contact to be made with the desired target ; Irys would conjure small pieces of Reishi to dig into said point of contact . it could be from herself directly , or even any of her melee weaponry . casting from a distance would potentially be tricky , as the malediction requires something of an understanding between one to another . it cannot be casted wildly and without abandon , the malediction needs purpose . even so much as a hair , a scrap of flesh , would do better than nothing . the amount of damage done by the initial reishi determinds how great the subsequent damage irys can inflict , and the malediction can even carve down into bone from a surface level , if irys focuses her powers intensely enough .

ㅤ the target is thusly marked . a marked enemy can be tracked by irys over long distances , and it refuses to be washed away . however , the mark itself hurts gradually more & more over time , while irys can inflct worsening injuries upon the marked & only the marked alone . it is a power solely for hunting down & killing those who irys wishes dead . a metaphysical curse made manifest , a relentless pursuit .

concept two : just a bunch of other names vaguely considered , nothing else is solid , at the moment . nothing . lmao . but i have many ideas .
