Fire and Air Magic

There are 5 types of magic on Lahwi, each associated with a particular group of Kayan Cats and linked to their history with Karenni ancestors.

Expressions listed in this journal are primarily to be used as examples; your Kayan’s abilities may not be fully limited to what is contained in this journal. If you are in doubt and want your Kayan to use a particular unlisted skill, message the group and we will respond with a corresponding skill level for the action!

Air Magic
The females of Pa Mi are considered dainty and delicate creatures as fickle as the breeze and pale as the wind herself. Yet, with the power of air comes the ability for many things. It is said that “Air Fuels the Fire”, in reference to the Pa Mi gender-specific magics, but air users can also do incredible feats like creating whirlwinds or even stealing the breath from another Kayan.

Basic

 * Enhanced sense of smell and hearing
 * Enhanced sense of direction
 * Able to sense oncoming weather
 * Direct small wind currents - enough to ruffle another Kayan’s fur.
 * Ability to speed up wind slightly [from still to a small breeze]
 * Ability to slow down wind slightly [from a breeze to still air]
 * Ability to jump twice as high as the average Kayan.
 * Ability to amplify or deafen sounds by a small volume degree.

Medium

 * Able to direct wind currents strong enough to unbalance an opponent
 * Able to pick up small or light objects such as leaves, sand, etc in the wind.
 * Able to heat air to an uncomfortable degree
 * Able to cool air to an uncomfortable degree
 * Able to create strong winds
 * Able to calm mild winds
 * Ability to amplify or deafen sounds by a large degree (a whisper could appear a roar, or a roar as a whisper).
 * Ability to use air as a 'blade', can create small and sharp gusts of wind that can slice flesh. Can be used for small cuts under 1" only.

Advanced

 * Able to direct wind currents strong enough to push another Kayan over.
 * Able to pick up medium sized objects with the wind
 * Able to make the atmosphere difficult to breathe in by stealing the air from around a Kayan (can suffocate if given time).
 * Able to increase or decrease air pressure
 * Ability to jump 4 times as high as the average Kayan.
 * Ability to 'glide' from a high point to a lower point.
 * Ability to use air as a 'blade', can create small and sharp gusts of wind that can slice flesh. Can be used for deeper cuts and gashes up to 3".

Master

 * Able to summon storms - can include rain and lightning, but they cannot control these directly [storms may be up to a ½ mile radius]
 * Able to clear clouds or calm harsh weather [up to a 1 mile radius]
 * Able to pick up large objects with the wind [up to 150lb]
