So a friend of mine was wondering if Anima had anything like Magia Erebea from Negima, if not how would one go about making it. I've toyed with it a little bit and created a sub path called Magia Erebea, but I kinda want to hear what others think.
This is my first attempt at creating my own magic, and its probably full of typos and etc. Also requires a bit of knowledge about the story of Negima to understand it. http://negima.wikia.com/wiki/Magia_Erebea
Also included an Elan to Erebus due to the fact Erebea is another name for Erebus.
This is suppose to be an extremely powerful thing, so thus I put some pre req to use it. First stage isn't that high aside from the fact you could lose your magical ability during the test or even die.
Lv: Base
Req: The Test, Elan 25 Erebus
Cost: 500 Zeon
Effect: Magia Erebea refers to absorbing the spells into the caster and gaining properties of that same spell. The spell Magia Erebea allows the caster to harness and absorb offensive spell’s energy and once absorbed by the caster, it is fused directly to the caster's soul. The technique feeds on the caster's soul and any dark feelings; such as hatred, greed, lust, revenge, in other words, "Bad" feelings. Magia Erebea has two forms.
The first is that the user will completely absorb the magical attack into themselves, thereby gaining its properties. Along with gaining some of its properties you also absorb of bit of its power in zeon, absorbing ¼ of the zeonic value used to cast the spell or ¼ the Psychic Potential used for the attack. (This rest is left up to the GM's interpretation.)
The second form of the technique is that the user can store magical spells within themselves without canceling the previous Magia Erebea. They will absorb the magic into themselves, but not merge with it, where they can release it at a later time. This allows the caster to use the absorbed spell as a passive action without any further cost to him, using either the original attack value or your own.
A successful defense is required in all cases using your magic projection, no shield is needed but if the defense fails you will take damage like normal. In cases against area attacks, you can only absorb the attack around you not the entire area Both forms can work against spells/matrices of Zeonic/Psychic potential values up to double your max MA.
You can gain multiple added effects but only up to you double your max MA; example: you absorb spells that cost 60zeon and a spell that cost 40zeon and you have 50MA which allows you to absorb up to 100zeon worth giving an added effect for both spells.
Each time this spell is cast the caster must make a Shock check equal to 12Wp or an Absurd Composure check. The difficulty increases for every 3 rounds this spell is maintained, increasing the Wp check by 1 and the Composure check by a difficulty. If failed see table 6 in Mental Health (DM's Tool kit) The check can be increased depending on the emotions of the caster, this is GM's interpretation. Increase can be no more than 1 to 3 difficulties higher. If the caster is to ever fall below his threshold and he fails his checks it is possible on top of the normal consequences they will be overcome by the spell and risk either dying or becoming an abomination of darkness and magic. GM's Interpretation.

At this Level of Magia Erebea you can even absorb physical attacks and Ki abilities. When a Ki ability is used against the caster, they can absorb half of the Ki used on the ability to replenish through own zeon. They absorb ¼ the base damage of the physical attack used to replenish the casters zeon. Also can absorb the base damage of a physical attack and add it to the casters presence to determine the damage of casters attacks if he/she attacks physically with Magia Erebea. Once expended must absorb another physical attack to do it again.
You have reached a new level of Magia Erebea which now allows you to attack and defend with your magic projection as if it was a physical attack and defense(Dodge or Block) the base damage is equal to the casters presence.
