CHARACTER: linky
EDIT DESCRIPTION: Chose specialty and first enhancement, moved stat points around some and added the bonus, adjusted and reworded the spells to fit the new system.
[b]POLTERGEIST.[/b] Poltergeist Magic is a type of caster magic that blurs the line between life and death. In its most basic form, it empowers the mage’s spirit and gives their body ghostly qualities. This enables all sorts of spooky trickery from floating to turning invisible and phasing through objects. Skilled mages are even able to separate their spirit from their body and channel it into inanimate objects, making them move as if controlled by unseen strings. As a curious cosmetic effect, casting any spells of this magic makes the mage’s body shimmer and eyes glow with an eerie light.[break]

Hook, line and sinker~! The playful woman stopped as well and brought a hand to her lips, pretending to gasp while actually covering the tiny giggles finally breaking through. Watching the wolfish woman fume was like enjoying a fireworks show. Temper flared and words crackled.
Suddenly the mask of innocence shattered. Kin’s golden gaze narrowed and lips slowly curled into a smug smile. “Ooo~ Did I touch a nerve~? Finally.” Her tone was dripping with mischievous glee. She knew exactly what she did. Finding people’s breaking point was her favorite thing!
The trickster’s smile widened into a devilish crescent grin. “You know, that would be way more believable if you didn’t snarl it like an angry mutt.” Seeing a member of the famous Orion’s Spear, a Godfrey no less, get all riled up tickled her soul in ways she couldn’t put to words. Maybe she just enjoyed making the unflappable become... uh... flappable? Hm. Yup. It was a word now.
Meanwhile, the true purpose of the stealthy mission was slipping from the ghastly mage’s mind. She was having way too much fun playing with fire. Finding and rescuing a silly bull was simply a bonus at this point.

...Well, Kin found it funny. She cackled herself breathless before wiping away the tiny tears. Naturally she had no intention of fighting back here. These things weren’t a threat. To her at least.
However, when the healer brought up the idea of the animated armors pulling themselves back together, the trickster let out a curious hum. “Hm~ Imagine if they could do that...” Lifeless pieces puppeteered by an unseen force, splitting from attacks only to be reassembled again. Now there was an interesting idea.
Kin’s eyes twinkled like mischievous little stars. She snatched one of the crawling gauntlets and studied it closely. It shared the same symbol as the doorframe and the sour painting. An arcane glow pulsed gently... Conversely, the chest piece and pants lacked any symbols. And they just so happened to stay lifeless.
The ghastly mage traced her finger across the symbol. It felt unnaturally cold to the touch, a familiar feeling her own magic shared. “Say, have you gone to any fancy schools?” She glanced at her deadpan partner. Snobs tended to have the best teachers and the rarest books, you know.
Suddenly the trickster spun around and chucked the squirming gauntlet at the healer. “Think fast! You wouldn’t happen to know what that symbol means and what it is made of, would you?” Well, sure, it was made of ink. Even she could tell that much. But was it special ink? A special symbol? Or was it just a fancy receiver and the magic alone made it work?

While the snooping trickster fiddled with the books, the carved symbols on the armors started lighting up one by one. However, she completely missed the fact due to a loud clang. She aimed a quizzical look at her partner and the mess of metal.
“What? Did they offend your delicate taste in decoration?”
Exactly as Natalie had predicted, the suits of armor suddenly came to life! ...The only problem was that they were kinda in pieces. The greaves hopped without legs, the gauntlets crawled along the floor with their fingers and the helmets just clattered their visor angrily. Whoever had enchanted them clearly hadn’t thought of this possibility...
Or maybe they had.
The living armor pieces still weren’t completely harmless... For instance, one of the greaves kept hopping at the healer, insistently trying to step on her toes. Likewise, getting too close to a helmet would’ve ended with it clamping onto any loose clothing it could reach. Truly terrifying.
Kin blinked at the sight. Her puzzled stare twitched. A wicked grin spread across her features. Laughter bubbled past her lips. “Pfft, hahahaha~!” Clutching her stomach, she pointed at the scattered pieces. “Look at them go~!” And more mocking laughter echoed through the room.

Petting the big pup wasn’t part of the trickster’s carefully crafted persona. No, she just liked furry and fluffy things. They were so simple to read. Even when the cold glare called the beast to focus on the task, she made sure to get in the last few scratches.
Kin followed along while the wolf and its so-called master led the way. Idly she pondered the word, rolling it in her mouth. “Master... you say?” She doubted calling the wolfish woman a slaver would really work. Most likely the celestial mage would just wear it like a badge of honor. Hm, no, she needed a different approach. Something unexpected. Shocking. Hilarious. Something like...
“Sooo... Does that make Fenrir your darling?”
It was difficult to maintain the innocent, bumbling facade. The pretender did her best to stifle her laughter, but few snickers slipped through. “I mean, you’re both kind of wolves, so I was just thinking...” She trailed off, leaving imagination to fill in the blank. “...Not that I’m judging, heavens no.” Well, that was all true at least. She wasn’t judging. Just fishing for a reaction.

Kin held the skull before her eyes, briefly tempted to talk to it, before tossing it over her shoulder. “What do I think? Weeell...” Flashing a sharp smile, she crept over to the door the skeleton had come through. She cast a sly glance at her partner-in-crime.
“Riddle me this... What does a guard do?”
Peeking through the doorway, the trickster found a surprisingly roomy library. Tall bookshelves were filled with books, with barely any empty gaps. A table in the middle was covered in parchments and papers full of scribbled notes. Two suits of armor stood on each side of the door. And a painting of a very sour bearded geezer overlooked the whole room.
The titles on the bookshelves were all related to the arcane arts. Kin trailed her finger along the dusty covers, idly reading them aloud. “Green Spells and Ham, How to Train Your Dragon Slayer, Zen and the Art of Magic Rune Maintenance...” Nope, nope and nope. None of these interested her. She wanted to know about ghosts.
Meanwhile, an odd sensation of being watched loomed in the background. The furniture and items had strange, matching symbols carved onto them. If the partner-in-crime stepped into the room as well, she would find the door slooowly sliding shut behind her...

Far too slow to match the swift woman, the moving skeleton missed its heavy swing. Within the empty eyes blue sparks glowed like tiny embers. They followed the target keenly. It pursued with a swaying step, slowly raising the unwieldy weapon again
Meanwhile, Kin lifted her hands and hid her features. She started sobbing solemnly. It was accompanied by a faint whistle, like some sort of supernatural pressure building up... Suddenly she revealed her face again and let out a chilling scream. The shrill sound revebrated across the hallway, scratching its icy claws down one's spine. A blast of white, glowing wisps shot from her frame.
The dreadful magic tore right through the skeleton, making it tremble. It fell backwards and collapsed into a pile of broken, lifeless bones. The embers of magic burning within its eyes faded away.
Now the scream turned into brief laughter, before sputtering into disappointment. Kin squatted down to poke the skull. Poke... Poke... And no reaction whatsoever. “Aw, you’re no fun.” She liked living targets far more. Watching them scamper away in panic was hilarious.

The pretender huffed at the reminder. “Hmph, I can see that.” Seemed guilt had no hold over this girl... How amusing~ That devil-may-care attitude combined with the ears and tail brought someone else to mind...
Unfortunately, the search yielded no results. Kin was far more used to snooping treasures and valuables. Usually out of someone’s pocket. She couldn’t really tell the difference between the tracks of ‘a prized bull’ and some ‘pathetic cows’. Oh well! Plan B it was then. Letting this dummy do all the work and stealing all the credit afterwards.
She liked Plan B.
While pretending to investigate, the trickster kept an eye on her partner. A shiny key that opened a portal... So this was a celestial mage. The golden gaze briefly narrowed and the gentle smile sharpened. She had certainly seen something interesting today.
Kin got back up and gawked at the wolf. “Oh, what a cute pet you have~!” She reached out, wanting to pet the spirit like it was a puppy. One might think she had no self-preservation instinct whatsoever... Which was kind of true, but with her magic she had never needed it anyway.
“Can it really understand you?”

Wearing an innocent smile, the trickster paid close attention to the snob’s reaction. People often were quick to deny their fears. A devious smile tugged at her lips, threatening to break through the facade. Mimic them, hm? An adorable word choice...
“Oh, is that so...?”
Kin turned around and slowly her eyes widened. She aimed a trembling point towards the hallway behind the Natalie. Her voice wavered. “Then... What’s that behind you...?” If the suspicious woman turned to look, she would’ve found absolutely nothing. Just a trick to test how gullible she was!
However, the trick backfired when a nearby door slowly slid open and something sauntered from the shadows. A skeleton dressed in a fine suit, an attire fit for a butler, stepped behind the trickster. Metal gleamed in the dim light as he... it... lifted a deadly weapon... A silver tray! With a rattle of bones, it took a swing right at her head.

Since Kin didn’t know much about her guildmate, she took this as an opportunity to study the reserved woman. Unsurprisingly, the stuffy snob didn’t seem even half as excited to snoop around a haunted house. Oh how she just wanted to see that stiff attitude shatter...
Naturally, the devious mage had a plan for entering... “Through the front door, of course!” Good plan? Great plan! If they were lucky, they would run into an ambush right away! Without wasting a moment, she gave the front door a good kick. It flew open with a cry of rusty hinges. She peered inside, all excited and found...
Nothing. Aw...
Inside, the crooked mansion was... surprisingly orderly. Sure, dust covered the floors and cobwebs were everywhere, but the furniture seemed untouched. Chairs were arranged neatly around tables. Bookshelves were impeccably ordered. The whole place was like a snapshot of the day it was abandoned.
While heading deeper inside, the trickster piped up suddenly. “Hey...” She glanced over her shoulder with an odd spark in her eye. “Do you believe in ghost stories?” The question was voiced innocently enough. Just idle chatter to keep the silence away, right? Riiight...

The trickster blinked at the brief and blunt response. It took all her self-control not to burst out laughing. She hadn’t expected the little mafia wolf to be so honest. Maybe some of the rumors were actually true...
Hastily recomposing the mask, Kin clenched her fists. “A poor, helpless animal is missing and all you think about is m-money?! H-how horrible!” It was difficult to put convincing anger into her tone, when a cheeky grin wanted so desperately to appear on her features.
The playful liar folded her arms with a pout. “I don’t think we can be friends anymore...” While putting on a show, she swept her gaze over the lands. Carrots, carrots aaand more carrots... Eugh... They really lived up to their name... But no bulls. Hm.
Kin crouched, tracing her fingers along the dirt. “To find a bull, we must think like a bull. Hmmm... If I were a big bull, where would I be hiding...?” Beneath the mumbled nonsense, she did have a plan though. Such a huge animal didn’t just strut around without leaving tracks. Too bad she didn’t have any magical or special senses to make finding them easier...

Inky clouds covered the sky. Chill winds whispered between the overgrown trees. Rain tapped lightly against the umbrella of thick leaves, unable to get through. The night was drawing near. And in the dark, all sorts of mischievous creatures came out to play...
“Ta-da~! Here we are~!”
A cheerily chiming voice popped the ominous atmosphere like a pinprick against a balloon. Wavering lantern light revealed an energetic young woman. Blonde locks framed a soft set of brightly grinning features. Dressed in a sly, black jumpsuit, she blended in with the shifting shadows. Her golden gaze gleamed with a playful spark.
Kin hoisted the lantern, letting its light illuminate the goal. Once upon a time it had been a marvelous mansion, home to a powerful mage and his servants. Three floors filled with beautifully decorated rooms. Now it was only a decrepit shadow of its former self. Dusty, broken... And tilted to the side a little.
The trickster glanced at the poor soul she had dragged along for this adventure. “Amazing, isn’t it? The local bandits say it’s haunted.” Well, she had mysteriously forgotten to mention that detail until now. When she first pitched the idea to her guild mate, she had led with the classic ‘hidden treasure’ approach. Funny how that worked.
