Power-ups

So I never got a chance to try this on mspa. Let's see if I can do this thing here.

mp + 10
Link
Hit all
Link
Heal

The links would create the abilities:

mana channel

For this turn, nearby allies may transfer their mp to this character, and vice-versa. Usable in the same turn as another action. Two turn cooldown, four if used with a second action.


Heal all:

It heals all. All nearby allies, that is. 10 mp.


Name: Kellander

Okay so, Kellander here is the party support essentially. He can do well teamed up with a mage to provide a bit of extra juice when needed, or teamed up with a tank in order to put their unused mp to good use, or a bit of both. I'd probably be looking to get him some offensive spells later on, as well as a wider variety of support spells, but at the very start we'll probably need healing and support more than anything, so this is what I'd go with for my first five. I might switch the locations of hit all and the mp + 10 in order to get villis heal instead of heal all, but that would probably be more of a thing I'd mess with until the abilities lock in at a level up, and at that point I'd decide based on whether we were going with big teams or small teams.


Also, you never said no multiple entries, but in case that was implied and just not outright stated, please feel free to ignore this spoiler, which is more creative but also possibly just outright loony:

Dark pulse
mp + 10
health + 10

link ability:

Balance

Select two stats. The lower of those stats (both in case of a tie) gain +3 for X turns the when this spell is cast. The next time this spell is cast, the other two stats are used instead, and the same mp cost must be used. 2X mp, cannot be stacked.



Name: Kellander

This version of Kellander is a sort of warrior-monk. He has the ability of balance, which he usually splits into attack/speed and defense/magic to switch between a warrior and a healer/blaster archetype. He's pretty powerful, but he comes with the caveat that he has to keep his stats in sets of two in order to gain full benefit from balance. If his attack goes one point higher than his speed, for example, then suddenly balance stops affecting it when he uses that combination. Since equipment powerups usually alter multiple stats at once, this means that they are heavily restricted for him, although it isn't impossible for him to use them if he's careful.


Okay so, reason this isn't my primary submission is that, basically, this character is kinda crazy. Balance is either too powerful or too weak, not really sure which, and it's also almost definitely too complicated. Plus he doesn't really fit any clear role. He's kind of a generalist, but in a weird and crazy way where instead of doing everything adequately some of the time, he does everything better than adequately but not all at once. Still though, you did say be imaginative, and this was the most imaginative idea I could come up with.

Whether I get in or not, I plan to watch this with great interest. Your games on mspa were always awesome, I expect this one will be too, even as just a spectator.
