23 | Olivia Anne Marie Weiss | She/her [hr//] "It’s all just a bunch of hocus pocus." | Description:
Olivia stands at a rather short height of 5’3”. She is a tiny character that moves through her life with grace in her step. Olivia is confident and she carries her posture as such. Her head is always held high, her steps carry with it the weight of her expectations, and her smile is ever present on her face. She has no set style, but she is always dressed nicely. Olivia often has a high bun coiled style to her hair. Her eyes are a darker brown that carries the same warmth that emanates from get smile. Olivia dresses well, even if she sometimes presents a little basic.
Olivia was born and raised in Seattle, and moved to St. Portwell when she was eleven. It was at the young age of twelve that Olivia was exposed to the magical world around her. She was walking to a friend's house when the snake’s rampage caused a kindling event, transforming the book she carried into her Grimoire, and she was rescued soon thereafter by a girl named Britney. Much was explained in that initial meeting, and much more was learned in the war. Eventually the coven emerged victorious but Olivia knew she could not stay. The Grimoire demanded she study and learn, and the coven was not a place that could facilitate that. As such, Olivia was among the first to leave without even saying goodbye. She spent the past decade finishing school, graduating with a Masters in Art History, and begun work to decipher more of the iconography found with the Grimoire. When the call to rejoin the coven was sounded Olivia did not join. Instead, she pushed and pushed to be accepted into the 317.
This morning she finally got the call.
Abstraction: Adept: Green-Blue-Orange-Black
Sacrificium - Olivia can heal, curse, boost, and summon the dead as long as she chants the spells needed for the magic and offers the ingredients to ensure a spell is successful. Her channeler is a Grimoire that has been passed down through countless generations. Each page in the Grimoire is a spell, with an incantation that must be spoken and a list of items that would be needed. Until Olivia is ready for a spell the pages will appear to be gibberish. Once she’s ready, the spell will become clear and Olivia would be able to use that spell to full effect. The Grimoire will need to be open to the page of the spell to cast it, but it can sense what Olivia is about to cast and will open itself to that page.
The Grimoire was originally created long ago by Olivia’s distant ancestors and was done so in Latin. The book translates to the language that Olivia understands but this has led to some spells being rather silly.
The Transference -
“By my will, your pain I take, In your stead, your wounds I break. Heal you now, as I withstand, Restoration flows from my hand.”
This is one of Olivia’s healing spells and was the first of three spells at her disposal during her time with the coven. It is a simple one at its core, but one that Olivia must prepare for mentally. By chanting the incantation, and by pressing her hand on someone, Olivia is able to heal them of all wounds. To do so she takes them on herself. If someone has a broken arm her arm will break during the spell, if someone has been shot she’ll have an exact replica of the bullet wound. As such, she will only heal what won’t kill her.
Self Reliance-
“With this blood, my strength shall rise, In sacrifice, my spirit flies. Healing flows from pain I share, Renewed and whole, beyond despair.”
Used in conjunction with The Transference, self-reliance is a spell that Olivia can use to heal herself. She must first offer up her blood willingly to get the magic flowing. This means she’ll have to draw her own blood with a blade, or any sharp object instead of any wounds caused by another. As she chants her body will heal but it will heal slowly compared to other healing magic. If she has a broken arm, for example, she might have to repeat the chant several times before it is mended.
Blood Boil-
“With gathered might, my magic flows, In this hand, the fury grows. By touch alone, your blood I sear, Feel the heat, your end is near. In boiling wrath, your life shall fade, By my will, your fate is laid.”
Blood boil is the second of the three spells Olivia knew during the war against the snake. Olivia’s spell enchanted her hands with her green lux, and if she makes contact with another person or creature she will cause their blood to boil. A strong creature will be able to resist this magic, only having the effect localized to the point of contact. But if they’re weak, or if Olivia enchants the spell further with her blood sacrifice, she can cause all of their blood to boil.
Acid Strike-
“With this breath, I call forth spite, Acidic venom, ready to bite. By my will, I spit and strike, Melt away, like candle’s light.”
The third and final spell from their time with the coven, Olivia is able to turn her spit into an acidic liquid that she can spit out. It does not enhance the amount of spit in her mouth, or how far she can spit it.
Familiar Form-
“From my core, our essence wakes, By my will, the spirit breaks. Familiar guide, answer my call, Emerge and stand, before me fall.”
The last green lux spell Olivia has learned, Olivia is able to summon her witches familiar. The spell requires her to get naked, sit cross legged, and chant this spell for as long as it takes to summon the familiar. The familiar is a spirit, and must decide whether or not they will answer the call. If they do, they’ll be born from the flesh of the witch who summons them and will be fueled by the witch's life force. The summoning is an incredibly painful process. If the witch chooses to dismiss the familiar they’ll simply turn to dust and the life force will return to the witch.
Creeping Weakness-
“Shadows creep, your strength shall wane, With every breath, I draw your pain. Life’s spark dims, your power fades, In silent whispers, my spell invades.”
By chanting the spell creeping weakness Olivia is able to make her target feel weakened. The weakness they feel would be subtle at first, maybe a step forward would rob them of their breath or the act of using magic would take more energy than normal. However, if she is able to keep the chant going the effects of this spell would grow in power and scope. After thirty seconds it’ll start piercing through emotional fields, and the weakness will only grow in strength. Olivia must very within earshot of her target for the spell to work as her words carry the curse.
The Fool -
“In shadows deep, where fears reside, Laughter echoes, truth belied. Insult and jest, your hearts exposed, In merry torment, your shame is imposed.”
When Olivia offers her blood up willingly, she can also curse the minds of a singular target. This spell can pierce emotional fields however it can only do so with a hefty blood offering. When the spell takes hold, the target will be subjected to vicious ridicule, taunts, and be swarmed by a terrible laughter that can drive them mad. The spell can last anywhere from a minute to an hour depending on how long Olivia chants, and how much blood she uses in the spell. Once again, the target must hear the chant in full to fall under it’s effects.
Obey Me-
“Hear my call, your will shall yield, In my command, your fate is sealed. Bend your mind, your heart must sway, Submit to me, and do as I say.”
Obey me is one of Olivia’s most aggressive curses. Whereas her other spells work like a needle, Obey Me is like a hammer smashing against the walls of a person's mind. This spell requires a hefty blood offering, and will make Octavia weak, however, it will be able to smash a person's emotional field and subject them to Olivia’s command. Olivia can only maintain control as long as she chants, and as long as the target can hear her voice from her lips. This curse does not require the target to hear, only to be in the line of fire.
Faerie Fire-
“Flicker bright, in shadows deep, Awaken fear, let panic seep. All around, let visions blaze, In this fright, their minds will craze. Let flames of doubt consume their sight, In terror’s dance, they lose their fight.”
Faerie Fire is Olivia’s most powerful individually cast curse. It requires a lot of blood and part of her life force to cast. The spell will target seven people and curse their minds to think they’re on fire. Everything they see, touch, taste, smell, and feel will tell them so. It is incredibly painful, traumatizing, and debilitating. The spell will last for seven minutes. Each target does not need to hear, however, those that do will feel the spell hit with an increased magnitude of power.
Fantastical Feline-
“By fur and blood, the magic blends, In this vessel, the spell ascends. With this mark, take form anew, Transformed with grace, my feline crew.”
Olivia’s curse magic can be used to disguise herself, and others, as simple house cats. They’ll still be able to talk like normal but for all other intents and purposes they will be a cat. She’ll need to have a tuft of cat fur and drain her blood into a goblet, mix, mark, and then chant. The spell lasts for seven hours but can be ended sooner.
Banishment-
“Together we stand, our voices align, With power united, your fate we entwine. From this realm, your presence we sever, Into the pit, now and forever. By our will, let shadows arise, In darkness, your spirit flies. Through the veil, we cast you away, In the pit, forever you stay.”
Banishment is the first and only spell that Olivia has learned that requires another adept to cast. The two adept’s must cut their hands, hold them together, and chant this spell three times without interruption for it to succeed. If successful, their target will be plucked from Shimmer and banished to the pit. The spell exerts a toll on both adepts, as their blood loss will be significant and their life force drained for seven hours. As well, there will be a hole in their soul that the adepts will forever feel. For there is no greater curse than the pit, and to truly commit to the spell a part of them must accompany the target there.
Haunting Specters-
“From shadows deep and sorrowed past, I call the souls of victims cast. Rise from the graves, let anguish swell, To haunt the living, a vengeful spell. With whispers soft and chilling cries, Unleash your fury, let terror arise. In shadows they gather, a spectral horde, To bind your spirit with chains unscored. Feel their pain, their wrath, their fear, For in your presence, they now draw near. By my will, let vengeance flow, Through cursed winds, your fury grows.”
The first necromancy spell Olivia learned, Haunting Specters allows Olivia to summon the victims of a target and allows them to get their revenge. Olivia will need to do several things before she begins the spell. First, she’ll need an object of importance to the target. The more important an item is the stronger the spell. Next, she’ll need a black candle to establish the connection with the spirits. From here, she’ll need to create a circle out of salt and fill a chalice with water to give life to the spirits. Lastly, she’ll need to open her grimoire and look into a scrying mirror and repeat the chant seven times. The phantoms will be released from here and haunt their target until they are dead, or the summoning circle is broken. The haunt will start slow, but will ramp up over a week's time at which point it will be a battle between the spirits and their mark.
Communes with the dead-
“By the name I speak, I call to thee, Awaken now, and set your spirit free. Spirit of [Name], I seek your voice, Join with me; let us rejoice. With open heart and intent sincere, Reveal your words; let all be clear.”
Olivia can act as the vessel for a spirit to allow them to speak with the living. Olivia will need three things to summon a spirit like this. A drink that they liked, a food they liked, and an object that was important to them. Once she recites the chant the spirit, if willing, will possess her body. The spirit can only drink what was provided, eat that which was given, and talk to those in their presence. Olivia prefers this to be in a more intimate, secluded setting as they give up their autonomy for seven minutes while the ghost is in their body. If someone tries to interact with her during this time she will be at the mercy of the spirit.
A Final Fight-
“From earth below, where spirits dwell, I call the fallen, hear my spell. Rise once more, from dust and pain, Join my cause, in this battle’s gain. In honor’s name, your strength I seek, Fight for me, as this moment’s bleak.”
The ultimate spell for Olivia and the black lux that fuels it, A Final Fight calls on any who died at the location to rise up once more for a final battle. The spell itself will nearly kill Olivia if she is lucky or will actually kill her if she’s not. This spell does not require a body, item offering, or even knowledge of who died where. The simple act of casting this spell is enough for Olivia to bring an army of the dead back with whatever weapons they may carry, if any at all. They are both solid and not, as strikes against them will simply pass through while their strikes will hit true. Only lux can dispel these spirits.
Empowered Touch
“With this touch, my power flows, Strength and speed, like wind that blows. By my hand, let courage soar, Unleash your magic, forever more.”
The weakest lux that Olivia has access to is her orange lux. She has only recently mastered her first orange lux spell and it is rather weak. She can slightly boost a person's strength, speed, magic, or mood but it’ll be a small increase. |
