Device: Heroic Record 17

• Form: Book
  • In dormant form, appears as a small golden metal tablet, 3cm x 5cm x 0.5cm with Midchildan writing engraved on one side. In active form, appears as a large tome (30cm x 40cm x 10cm) bound in gold and inset with sapphires in a runic circle pattern. Its pages are trimmed in gold and made of heavy velum. Its spine is a dark black metal, and oddly appears almost like the action of pump-action shotgun. It stores cartridges internally, and "racks" the spine to load them on command.
• Voice: Courier Royal Blue (Female)
• Spells
  • Record of Fenrir: Gleipner (Binding) 6+4=10
    • Summons hundreds of golden threads which reach out and wrap around the indicated target, immobilizing them.
  • Record of Athena: Aegis (Defensive) 13+2=15
    • A bronze buckler embossed with a gorgon's head, and with a fringe of silver tassels appears between the people she wants to protect and the enemy. The eyes of the gorgon open and a shimmering blue geodesic dome appears around her allies.
  • Record of Cuchulainn: Gae Bolg (Distance) 13+2=15
    • A shining spear of golden light appears above her. With a word, it flies toward the target. On striking, it shatters and a pulse of energy briefly traces out the target's veins (or circuits as the case may be).
  • Record of Arsalan: Zomorrodnegar (Melee) 13+2=15
    • A large golden shamshir (like a scimitar, but with a greater curve), its blade decorated with a line of emeralds, and its hilt wrapped with red thread and adorned with a tassel of blue thread, rises out her runic circle. Despite its size, she can wield it easily with one hand. When she strikes an enemy with it, it does not cut them, but does magical damage as it seemingly passes through them.
  • Record of Dionysius: Sword of Damocles (Distance, Wide Area) 17+10=7M
    • A huge sword appears over the target area, then begins to plummet, picking up speed and bursting into flames as it falls. When it strikes, there is a massive explosion and a blinding flash of light. It's a slow attack, so targets usually have to be dazed, bound, or otherwise unable to flee before it strikes in order for it to work.

Other Abilities:

• I Can Still Fight! 13+8=1M
  • Being knocked down just awakens greater resolve within her! As long as she can get back to her feet, she'll never give up!
• Raging Heart 13+2=15
  • Normally she can barely express herself, but somehow, she forgets all that when she's fighting. Where battle rages the hottest, her heart can finally be free, and her honest feelings can reach friend or foe alike. This isn't always a good thing
• Honor Student 13
  • She spends most of her free time studying, so not surprisingly she's good at academics.
• Member of the Library Club 13+2=15
  • She can find information quickly, whether its in an actual library or online
• Head Full of Stories 13+2=15
  • She's been reading stories of myths and legends from all over the world since she was 5, and can recite many of them from memory. Her knowledge has helped her decipher some of the legends recorded within Heroic Record.
• The Quiet One 13+2=15
  • When not in her mage form, she's so quiet that she's easy to overlook. Sometimes it comes in handy when she wants to avoid someone, but it makes it hard to get service in stores.
• Hero of Justice! 13
  • She really, really wants to be a hero, like the legends she's read all her life (well, the nicer legends at least). Sometimes this gives her the resolve to act, sometimes it gets her in trouble when she tries to be the hero all by herself.

Flaws:

• Shy 1M
  • In her normal form she's really, really shy. It takes effort for her to talk to people she doesn't know, and even makes her hesitate talking to people she does know.
• Easily Flustered 1M
  • She's very easily embarrassed, and tends to babble incoherently when she is.
