Guardian Dog-fox of Heaven
Inugami Tenko
A spell developed by the Tsuchimikado family based on the traits they inherited from Abe no Seimei and his mother. It allows for the summoning of spirit familiars whose shape and power depend on the user's capabilities. Unlike the other members of her clan, Nanako decided to summon intelligent and self-conscious Fox familiars. She has contracted Seven different ones, but sustaining all of them at the same time would most likely kill her with the effort, so she developed a rotatory system where most of them would hibernate six out of the seven days of the week, manifesting only on a singular day is associated which each one. They are:
Akari: A red fox spirit with control over fire. beyond the obvious offensive capabilities it has, Akari can also sense all heat sources on the area around her, making her a splendid tracker. Of all the familiars, Akari is the most attached to Nanako. Her day is Tuesday.
Aoki: A blue fox spirit with the power of water. Beyond that, she has the power to negate negative status effects and wash away poison. Aoki is very shy and prefers to interact with people a little as possible. Her day is Wednesday.
Kiiroi: A yellow fox spirit that controls earth. Along with it, she also has a protective aura that can be extended to those around her. Kiiroi has a stoic and blunt personality, always speaking what is needed. Her day is Thursday.
Midori :A green fox spirit with the element of wood. Her ability to accelerate "growth" also allows for her to heal the injures of others. Of the seven spirits, Midori is the friendliest and the most energetic. Her day is Friday.
Shirai: A white fox spirit that controls metal. Her ability works in a similar way to "magnetism", giving her a great advantage against enemies who fight with metal weapons. With a very sarcastic and sharp personality, Shirai is rude to almost everybody. Her day is Saturday.
Kinko: A golden fox spirit. Unlike most of the other fox spirits, she isn't attuned to an element but instead receives power from the sun itself, which grants her a great amount of mana that she can share with allies. Kinko is a prankster who favorites past time is teasing others. Her day is Sunday.
Ginko: A Silvery fox spirit. Like Kinko, she doesn't have an association with an element, but with the moon itself. Her powers are that of illusions and with sufficient effort, she can even drive a target to madness. Ginko carries herself with immense grace, and one can feel an aura of pride from her. Her day is Monday
Nanako can spend extra mana to summon them outside of their respective days, although only for a few moments and only one at a time. While they are magically bonded to Nanako, she purposefully gave them a degree of free will that allows them to disobey her orders, although they seldom do. It can be said that their relationship is based more on mutual trust and respect them a Magical contract.
The Beauties of Nature
Kachou fuugetsu
Nanako's trump card and strongest spell. Based on the ritual of
Calling down a god
Kami Oroshi
, she summons the power of the
to fill her with divine energy.
It awakens the old essence in her blood, giving her fox ears, a tail and increasing all of her physical and magical abilities beyond human levels. With it, she can even sustain all of her seven familiars at the same time for a short period.
Because the end result is basically Nanako making use of a limited form of minor divinity, the whole process is extremely exhausting to her. The amounts of strain put on her magical circuits are so great that, after the transformation dissolves, she will not be able to safely use magecraft or summon her familiars for at least a week.
