Nature Abilities
Novice
Sprout Seeds
Sprout any seeds into seedlings with your magic. You're a parent now, be responsible!
Uses:
Concentrating their magic into a single seed or many, a Kwillian is able to accelerate the growing process and cause the seeds to sprout into seedlings. There's no limit to what type of seed the Kwillian can use this ability, so its useful for starting farms or gardens! This ability can be used all the way up to turning the plant into a small sprout, healthy and ready to be planted without worry of it not thriving.
Limitations:
A beginner using this ability is only able to focus their magic into one seed, but with enough practice is able to sprout multiple seedlings. There's a chance the Kwillian using Sprout Seeds will gain a headache if they use it excessively since they are focusing their magic into advancing the growing process.
Scent
Create a sweet scent in your area, helping overpower bad smells, soothe your friends, or lure in creatures…
Uses:
Scent allows the user to create a sweet scent in the area around them. Use your magic to create a delectable scent around you and in a max of 10 foot perimeter. This ability can be helpful on multiple occasions. Possible instances could be soothing a friend during a stressful or upsetting time, attracting your crush, overpowering bad odors, or even luring in creatures.
Limitations:
Similar to the ability Stench, a beginner who uses this ability takes a little longer to control the extent of the area that the aroma covers. While a more proficient Kwillian would be able to pick the distinct smell, and control the proximity and duration of the ability. Like Stench, Scent does have a time limit, the shortest it can last is a few minutes and the longest it can last is a day.
Detect Plant
Search for a specific plant with nothing but your magic, from searching for plants to avoiding dangerous flora, this ability has many uses.
Uses:
Focusing their magic, a Kwillian is able to sense and search for specific plants. Depending on the user's gem color, the plant that they are searching for will glow said color or if the plant was dangerous it will grow red. This ability can come in handy for those searching for specific flora for potions or to avoid dangerous plants that could be hiding in plain sight.
Limitations:
Detect Plant requires the user to have some prior knowledge in flora in order to detect at least Two (2) safe or Two (2) dangerous types of plants as a start to this ability. The more experience the Kwillian has with Detect Plant, the more plants they can detect. They would also be able to sense if there were safe and dangerous plants in the area, depending on their knowledge of the local flora. Usually muddied by related plants, the more practice a Kwillian has with ability, the more they're able to tell plants apart.
Acolyte
Manipulate Plant Growth
Manipulate the growth of plants around you, encouraging them to grow faster, or slower…
Uses:
Focusing their magic into their hands, a Kwillian is able to create a dust that acts like a fertilizer or inhibitor. The dust flowing from their fingertips, they are able to manipulate the progress of plants that are around them. This ability is very useful for those wanting to aid in crop growth either for the town or themselves. Kwillians with this ability are also able to slow down plant growth. Whether to ruin another's crops, pull a prank, or to help with weeds or other negative plants.
Limitations:
Perhaps the hardest ability to learn from the Acolyte tier as a Kwillian is literally altering a plant's natural growth and they also must have some sort of connection between the plants that they wish to use the ability on. While using this ability, Kwillians are unable to cause plants to grow faster as well as slow their growth down at the same time. They must decide prior to producing the dust if they are going to speed up the plant's growth or slow it down. After using Manipulate Plant Growth, the Kwillian must wait at least half an hour before using it again.
Manipulate Wood
Manipulate and twist wood to your will, shifting and changing its shape with the power of your mind, and hands!
Uses:
Concentrating their magic into their mind and their hands, a Kwillian is able to manipulate wood to their will. Twisting it to their desires, the user is able to change the wood's shape. This could be handy for woodworking Kwillians, those in construction, or Kwillians wishing to upgrade their home's scenery.
Limitations:
Unlike the ability Alter Wood, Manipulate Wood only allows the user to change the wood's shape and not its color or size. A novice will need to have physical contact between them and the wood they wish to distort. Once they have more practice, they will be able to use the ability with their hands along with their mind. The Kwillian would be able to reshape a twig with only their mind, but a big log would require the combination of their mind and a physical connection.
Communicate with Plants
Talk to the flora around you, communicating with the plants that have seen everything. They probably just want a little more sunlight.
Uses:
With Communicate with Plants, a Kwillian is able to commune with the vegetation around them. Varying in knowledge, you never know what the plants have to tell you. This ability is handy for those in the farming business to learn what their crops need, or for the curious Kwillian that wants to learn the history of the land around them. Maybe the plants will have some dirt on other Kwillians in town.
Limitations:
A beginner using this ability will only be able to make out a few words and as they continue their practice they will be able to have full conversation between them and the plants. Because plants don't have mouths, the Kwillian will be able to hear the voices in their head. Unfortunately, the user is unable to communicate via mental telepathy and will have to speak out loud, so they better be prepared to look crazy if another passerby walks up on them. This ability does require some concentration, so it may cause headaches for first time users in response to overuse of the ability in one sitting.
Professional
Speak with Animals
Communicate with animals, allowing for you to understand them, and for them to understand you.
Uses:
While using this ability, a Kwillian is able to communicate with animals, both domesticated and wild. They will be able to not only understand the creatures, but the creature being communicated with will also be able to understand the Kwillian. Handy once again for farmers, a fun ability for Kwillian with an interest and liking to animals, and a tool for survival in calming a raging beast.
Limitations:
Like the Communicate with Plants ability, a novice will only be able to make out a few words between them and the animals and vice versa. So it will take some time and practice before they are able to have a full-blown conversation. As well, only the kwill using this ability will be able to hear them. Luckily for them, they won't look as crazy compared to talking with plants. Keep in mind that Kwillian are limited by the intelligence of the animal, and what that animal knows. Domestic creatures will know more words, while wild ones may convey less words and more thoughts and emotions.
Sprout Fruit
Make a flower bloom into fruit if compatible, allowing you to expedite the growing process of your food!
Uses:
Like the earlier ability Manipulate Plant Growth, the user focuses their magic into another type of dust that acts like a hormone specifically for flowers that bloom into fruit. The more dust that's added to the flowers, the bigger and better the fruit will be. Once again, coming in handy for farmers and those interested in selling at the markets or to restaurants.
Limitations:
The hardest ability to master for a nature aligned Kwillian as they are forcing a plant to bloom, mature, and ripen. This ability does require a lot of energy from its user, so it's not advised to use Sprout Fruit more than 2 times a day. Otherwise the Kwillian will become lethargic and need to recharge. Novices with this ability will only be able to cause one bush, tree, etc. to bloom and with more experience will be able to cause multiple plants to bloom and sprout delicious fruit.
Bloom Flowers
Bloom Flowers from buds, dazzling those around you with the plants you can grow!
Uses:
Using your magic to create another variation of plant growth dust, a Kwillian is able to cause young buds to bloom into flowers. Imagine impressing your friends by bringing them to a green field and causing the wild flower buds to bloom into a beautiful field of flowers. This ability would also be useful for those who sell their flowers in the market.
Limitations:
Kwillians that wish to use the Bloom Flowers ability must have a close relationship with the flowers they plan to bloom. The dust they create is only able to hasten the blooming process for flowers. Meaning a Kwillian is unable to use this ability on other plants or flowers that grow into fruit, unlike Sprout Fruit. Bloom Flowers also does not allow the user to change the plant in any way, only speeding up the blooming process.
