Background:
Wu is a magi who affiliates himself with the Triads. Born of a declining line of Magi, his early years were pretty typical of such a family: harsh training and physical experimentation day in and day out. His family did everything in their power to raise his power, be it using traditional methods, or even relying on the despicable Western Thaumaturgy.
At 15 years old, Wu was sent to the Clock Tower to further his study, where he spent ten or so years of his life. There, while his ability and repertoire of skill as a magi grew exponentially, he still could not find any method to raise his own magic circuit quantity. Not one which would not endanger his life or have major drawback, at the very least.
In the end, he decided to give up and return to China. He thought he would bury his ambition for power for the next generation, and live a life amassing wealth and power under the triad instead. You know, investing into the future and such. Yet, he somehow managed to struck gold during his first year there.
A mongrel child, no older than 10 years, had somehow landed on the hands of the Triad. She was capable of prana way beyond even Wu himself. And most importantly, she was without either knowledge of magic, protection of a guardian, or even a will to live. Truly, she was a gold mine. The giving-tree, as his family would often said.
Thus, using his new "disciple" he accomplish many feats he was unable to before. With his newfound power, he rose quickly through the rank of the Triads, and made himself known in the Magi underworld. A name that, quite unexpectedly, big enough to land him an invitation for a false Grail War.
"This is it. This is my chance to fulfill my lifelong obsession!" He thought to himself.
Surely enough, he rose to the occassion. Bringing his trusty battery along with him, he boarded a flight to Switzerland. He had read about experimentation regarding the use of Chimaeras as a summoning Catalyst before. He was confident he could replicate - nay, improve upon it. And he, too, had the ingredients at the ready. What is there to fear?
And thus, with great anticipation he closed his eyes for a quick repose before the upcoming war. Dreams of riches and power flooded his mind as his plane flew across the sea and towards their destination.
Types of Magecraft:
Taiji - The flow of Yin and Yang, endemic to Ancient China. Wu is no longer proficient in its application due to his switch to the Western Thaumaturgy, but he still retain an intimate knowledge over the concept.
Breathing and Walking - Another core concept he learned during his early childhood. He had mostly leave it underdeveloped after his time as a student in Clock Tower, however.
Talisman Making - Wu is proficient with making intricate inscriptions to talismans. Typically they are used to restraint others, or blow things up. The more complex ones he has in his arsenal can be used to mind control those with less resistance to mental influence - similar to Jiangshi in concept - but with living people.
Reinforcement Sorcery - The sorcery that first converted Wu to the way of Western Thaumaturgy. The simplicity and efficiency simply blew his mind. Wu is proficient at strengthening his body to be more durable, and his feet to make him run faster and jump higher. His mediocre prana does not allow him anything superhuman, but it is suffice to say that he's better than your average Triads goons.
