Overview

Dedicated to the Induk Sweetwine, the Song Forged are a subfaction of The Forged, along with the Fire Forged, Ice Forged and Soul Forged

Ranks

0 Points - Principales

• Reforged: Forged are not named as they are for no reason. By accepting an Induk's deal their body is filled with their power and tempered by it, making it tougher than it was before. A Forged will find that their skin is like a leather armour and their bones like iron rods, making them more resistant to blunt physical damage.

• Light Hearted: Music is special to the Songforged. It is an expression not just of the wonders of the air, but also of the inner thoughts and feeling of the one who plays it. With this ability the Songforged is able to replicate the sounds of any instument without needing the instument itself. They still require skill in the insturment in order to make this sound effective, but simply by moving their fingers through the air in the right way they can replicate the sounds of a flute, harp, drum, or any other instrument they have heard before.

20 points - Primus Principales

• Identify: As someone who has developed a close bond with a spirit themselves, the forged in partially connected to the spiritual realm. Not only can the forged see spirits of all kinds, but when they look upon a spirit they will recieve a fairly close, if not entirely accurate, impression of what that spirit's concept is.

• Twister: An old classic. The Songforged can conjure a miniture twister the size of their palm in their hand. Though small, this twister is intensely powerful, and once thrown in any direction will continue to expand outwards are grow in size, knocking all objects in its path out of its way. However this wind also grows weaker the further it expands, until it completely dissipates roughly fifteen seconds after being released. The Songforged can hold this twister as if it were a solid object, and throw it at anyone as if it were a baseball. The Songforged can create one twister per trial for every five points they possess in the Order of the Forged.

40 Points - Centurion

• Lesser Incarnation: The diri that accompanies a forged in the conduit to their power. Usually this diri cannot be seen except by other forged or those with the ability to see spirits, however with this ability the diri can temporarily take on the physical form of an animal no heavier that 4kg. They can maintain this phsycial form for 1 minute per point the forged posesses in the forged faction, and during this time can be seen by other physical beings and interact fully with the physical world. They still maintain their intelligence and mental bond to the forged, but cannot use any other forged powers while in this state. If the physical form is killed the diri will experience pain, but instantly return toi being a spirit. This form can possess basic abilities such as flight or sharp claws, but cannot possess any unusual or deadly features such as venom or magical abilities.

• Lightning Bolt: By twisting the air in a way that forces the particles of oxygen and hydrogen in the sky to collide against each other rapidly, the Songforged can generate a charge of electrical energy high in the sky above them. For every point of the forged the Songforged possesses, they can generate 1 million volts per minute (the avergae lightning volt is 300 million volts) and can generate no more that 1000 million volts. When the Songforged wills it, the accumulated charge will decend from the sky upon a target of their choosing. This power can be used once per day, and requires the Songforged to keep one of their arms raised up towards the sky during charging.

60 Points - Primus Centurion

• Limit Breaker: A tricky, but useful ability to have in a pinch. In agreeing to work together, the four Induk of the Forged have created a weak bond between themselves which is further shared between their servants. With this ability the forged is able to replicate an ability belonging to whichever subfactions of the forged that they themselves have not joined that they would have unlocked with their current level of forged points. However drawing the power of an induk they have not fully sworn themselves to carries its own consequences. After using the replicated ability, the forged will find their own bond with their diri temporarily severed for the same number of trials as the forged points needed to unlock the ability they replicated.

• Melded in the Music: The Diri of the Songforged is the embodiment of their link to Sweetwine and the source of their power. With this power the Songforged is able to temporarily fuse themselves with their Diri, becoming a hybrid between mortal and spirit. Their appearance will take on some of the features of their Diri, and the air around them will begin to swirl with power. While in this form the Songforged may act as if their strength, endurance and athletics skills are one tier higher than their skill levels (so a novices may act like a competent, a competent may act like an expert, and so on.) Additionally the Songforged is able to physically touch and harm spirits and ghosts, though may be physically harmed by them in turn. They may maintain this form for one trill per day for every point they possess in the Order of the Forged.

80 Points - Legatus

• Greater Incarnation: Building on the Lesser Incarnation ability, the diri is now able to assume a physical form of much greater size. The diri can assume a physical form with a weight of up to 300kg. They still maintain their intelligence and mental bond to the forged, but cannot use any other forged powers while in this state. If the physical form is killed the diri will experience pain, but instantly return toi being a spirit. This form can possess basic abilities such as flight or sharp claws, but cannot possess any unusual or deadly features such as venom or magical abilities.

• Crecendo Forged: The bond between the Songforged and their Diri has now become seamless. Their Diri can now physically shift into whatever weapon the Songforged desires. This weapon will behave as if it is made of masterwork material, and it coated with the winds of Sweetwine. Blades will seem as if made of adamantite as they will cut cleaner and sharper than steel. Bows, arrows, and the like will be equipped with an endless supply of ammunition made of compressed air. Bludgeoning weapons will also feel light as feathers but hit opponents like they are made of solid metal. One weapon may be summoned at any given time. If dropped the weapon will vanish into thin air and the Diri will reappear in their normal form. They can transform into a new weapon once ten trills have passed. The Songforged must hold out their open hand in order to summon the weapon. You may use Melded in the Music and other Songforged powers at the same time as this one.

100 Points - Arch Legatus

• Unto the Breach: An Arch Legatus is a mighty leader of the forged, and nowhere is this position reflected more keenly than in this power. Automatically taking effect whenever the forged is in a dangerous situation with other forged, the Arch Legatus establishes a psychic bond betwene themsleves and all other forged in the area no dissimilar from the bond between a forged an their diri. This bond will allow the Arch Legatus to communicate dfirectly with the forged and issue them commands, as well as see through their eyes and hear through their ears at will as long as the other forged allows it. Not only that, but the Arch Legatus will instictively know what instictive movements another forged they share a connection with will make and vice versa, allowing them to work as a perfectly synchronised team without any previous training or communication.

• Avatar of Sweetwine: When inducted as a Songforged a special bond is formed between the Forged and the Heart of Sweetwine. This bond not only binds the mortal to a Diri but it also forms a silent but residual bond with the Induk. It is only the most powerful of Forged that can call upon this hidden bond and summon forth the power of the Sweetwine Induk. This ability can be used anywhere due to the power of Sweetwine, linking the Induk to all of its Forged. Capable of being used once a Cycle, the Arch Legatus may beseech Sweetwine to come to their aid. If this call is accepted, the Induk will reach out and infuse the Arch Legatus with it’s will and it’s power. The Forged for a time will find that their consciousness melds with the strange and wild mind of the Induk. For that one moment they will no longer be wholly mortal. The Arch Legatus' eyes will turn a pure, shining white and their skin will be radiant with power. The Arch Legatus may then control and manipulate any air within a mile of their position. They will also be capable of creating sonic booms and other incredibly loud noises. This ability can last for twenty bits before the Induk will withdraw, otherwise the Arch Legatus' body will begin to fail due to the power flowing through it.
