Magic: Assisted Magic (NeXT)
Assisted Magic
A rather broad form of magical use, this "school" revolves around utilizing objects of spiritual power or connections to external sources of it to perform supranatural feats.
BASIC FUNCTIONS (things you don’t need an advanced skill for)
Draw Magic
Allows a character to withdraw a variable number of spells from a target creature using a standard magic casting roll. These spells are stored in the character’s “spell inventory” and can be cast at-will. This allows characters to withdraw some magic that may be beyond their skill level, in which case it is usable but its damage effect is limited to the caster’s skill level (i.e. if a level 5 spell grants +1000 damage but the character is only level 3, its damage is capped at the standard level 3 +600 damage).
Junction
Allows a character to “equip” a Summon-type creature in its item slots, taking up twice as many slots as its Compatibility level. When that Summon is equipped, allows the character to cast its assigned spells according to its Compatibility Level. This does not require Spell Points, but the caster must have the requisite Spell Level in Assisted Magic. This also provides access to unique abilities that can only be accessed with Junctioning.
Use Materia
Magic Materia enables the weilder to cast the forces of magic in battle, they are green in color and can range from elemental damage, to healing, to status effect inflicting spells. Materia are unique in that they grow with the user, becoming more powerful as Ability Points (AP) are gained.
25% of gained Experience Points (25 if 100 EXP is earned, round down) is given to the character as AP to be spent on a materia of choice for free. A character may then decide to spend AP at a rate of 1 EXP = 1 AP if they want to level up a materia faster.
• AP may not be pooled and must be used immediately or it is wasted.
• Materia can only be grown if it is equipped when the AP is given.
• Materia is also unique in that it does not cost spell points, and a user does not require a certain skill level to cast a spell. They lack an ability to create custom spells from their magic however.
Materia Exceed
In lieu of developing a Materia naturally, a user is able to instill his/her own spiritual energy into the Materia to bolster its strength. To do so, the "AP Required" to Level a Materia up is turned into a DC to be beaten by the user's "Assisted Magic" check without any other modifiers (the same as a roll to learn a spell of other schools). Already having AP on that Materia reduces the DC.
Example: Materia A requires 75AP to go from Level 1 to Level 2. A user must beat DC 75 to charge the Materia and raise its level. If that Materia already has 20 AP towards Level 2, the DC is 55. A Materia can only be leveled like this once every 3 months.
Treat as Magicite
Still requires the use of Materia Slots to equip Materia to gain AP and use magic, until it is learned. When a Magic Materia is leveled up using the AP system, allows the user to add that spell to its permanently-learned spell list for the appropriate number of Spell Points. A character can unequip that Materia and cast learned spells normally. If the Materia remains equipped, this character can cast a learned spell for half-MP. If all spells in a Materia are learned, the Materia is destroyed.
