Who came up with the idea to make our statuses quotes from philosophers, anyway?

"So let us formulate a plan, then," Michael replied to Moira, his phone at the ready to write down and cross out ideas. Michael gave Moira's weapon an up-down look, wondering about its capabilities, but a more careful examination would have to come at a later time. "We are apparently fighting a god that has inhabited a human body. A man that can observe movements and copy them with a single study, and can even predict our movements. In other words, it may be safe to assume that physical combatants will be quickly outmatched."

"I do have a proposal: I can use my ability of Artwork to stop Cel," Michael said, summoning his paintbrush into his hand. "Given enough coverage, my ink can seal away a person's powers. Admittedly, I'm not sure what effect that will have on the god residing within him, or if it will even work on a god. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm open to any."
Sure. Significant enough to make a difference, at least.
I was thinking of Michael being able to move ink with his mind. His hands were merely a way to more quickly apply the mental image onto reality.
So, I've been brainstorming a bit on what Michael's core power upgrade would be and how it could affect his arsenal of abilities, and this is what I have come up with. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Powers: Forgery of Magic: Michael creates and manipulates any kind of ink, using it to create symbols and other works of art that provide magical effects to whatever it is being applied on. Effects depend on the symbology drawn and Michael’s intent.

  • Dexterity: Michael can move his hands at a very fast rate, lessening the time needed to paint his symbols.
  • Forgery: Status Change: By drawing patterns and/or symbols, Michael can apply a series of buffs and/or debuffs, involving things such as increasing strength and speed as well as robbing limbs of movement. Michael can also create basic effects such as levitation or health regeneration. Even certain powers can be sealed or boosted, though this requires an extensive amount of ink to accomplish, typically involving full-body coverage. Inanimate objects are not immune from his ink, either, and can be weakened or strengthened accordingly. His Status Changes will last for as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be dispelled by him at any time.
  • Forgery: Magic Circle: By drawing a circle filled with patterns and/or symbols, Michael creates a magic circle that activates when a certain criteria is met, typically when a person or object walks into it, or whenever Michael triggers it manually. Different symbols will create different effects, but most involve restraining and/or disorienting targets. These can be formed anywhere, including on peoples' bodies and even in midair. Unfortunately, unlike Status Change, the effects of Magic Circles are temporary once they are sprung. This includes Status Changes that are applied as a result of the activation of a Magic Circle.
  • Forgery: Creation: Michael draws a picture of an object, and is able to construct said object into reality. The larger and/or more detailed said pictures are, the more powerful or larger the objects can be constructed. Unlike Enhancements or Sealings, which are composed solely of ink, Creation Art constructs can be composed of other materials. These constructs will last as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be deconstructed by him at any time. They can be combined with Magic Circles, but will disappear with the Magic Circle when it expires.

Michael raised an eyebrow at Diana's current behavior, curious at her drastic change of character compared to how Michael typically saw her. She always seemed so... adult-like. So sure of herself, with the knowledge and skills to back it up. Guess there was a vulnerable side to her as well. To bring that out, Celestine must have really screwed up... Michael thought to himself, shaking his head. Wait, why do I feel so annoyed? This isn't like me...

Gathering his thoughts, Michael returned to the present only to find another odd situation at hand. Looking over at Melanie, Michael began to say, "Mela... no, you're not her..." Melanie never had emotions, on account of having no soul, apparently. Michael's mind flashed back to the day at the infirmary, when Diana had been possessed by some cheerful entity. Right now, not-Melanie was showing the same personality. "You're the one back then, at the infirmary during the cultist attack," Michael guessed. It did also bring up an interesting weakness to Melanie now: being an empty vessel, it seemed she was susceptible to being hijacked by other entities looking to inhabit others. Without even looking, Michael took out his phone and began to jot down this piece of information.

Michael jotted down everything Diana said about Cel's abilities into his phone, updating the notes he already had on him. Judging from the info he already had, though, he knew Celestine was going to be annoying at the very least, but now it's actually a concern. An already superhuman being possessed by a god... Michael grimaced. It would probably be a very difficult challenge to face Cel alone, but fortunately he wouldn't have to. Already there were people offering to help. He would have to review his fellow Vigilantes' skills and abilities, and formulate some plans.

"As long as I get paid, I am willing to help," Michael said, stepping forward. "Besides, I owe this Witch of Bones a debt or two myself. Tell us how we can assist."
