Vine Style
Origin
Founded by a researcher of magic in the Nimbus Sea, Vesna Aves discovered that not only is magic present in the seas, but in the nature around us in small quantities. She also witnessed that living beings such as plants and wildlife can also have small amounts of magic within them, sharing the same energy system as humans. She used this knowledge to give permanent life to living beings as long as their energy system was bonded with hers. Permanently binding vines to her arms, she created a fighting style to compensate for her lack of magic for defense and fame. The vines are kept alive by your energy and somewhat fuse with your conscience as its life-force binds with yours. When mixed with human energy, their potential is only bound to the strength of their holder.
Mechanics
Vines will always surround your hands and eventually cover more areas like arms and hair with more mastery, undying due to the energy in your body. Every time the vines come in contact with enemy energy (such as neutral or positive clashing and hitting your enemy), your vines will grow as they absorb the energy and life-force of your enemy, allowing your attacks and M1’s more range.
Your vines will wane against heat based magics and corrosive magics such as poison and acid. They will also wane as you take more damage, decreasing their range.
If you hit your opponent three times within a short amount of time, they will gain a “Tangled” status effect which temporarily offs their movement, making every surface slippery until it wears off. This is because every hit, you wrap your opponent in vines. Doing this in short succession before they can break them off will cause them to get tangled in the vines. Every hit also inflicts Energy Exhaustion (Your enemy regenerates their mana slower, while yours regenerates faster) if you deal 20% or more of your enemy’s health.
The longer the vines, the slower the style is due to it taking a longer time to swing.
1.2x Damage
1.0x Speed to .8x Speed
1-1.5x Vertical Size
1x Base Size
Imbuements and Synergies:
Imbuements act as regular imbuements with the only catch being that the range of every attack will be increased the more damage you do to your enemy.
As well as this, the visual effects will be your fists or weapons being covered in vines as well as your body (depending on mastery).
Synergies have many double-edged swords for Vine Style.
Corrosive and Heat magics have a negative damage synergy but overall their status effects last longer due to the vines on the enemy’s body.
Soaked enemies have a passive .5% extra energy sap gain, meaning your vines will grow longer quicker.
How it Works
Vine Style does not involve you controlling the vines with magic, far from it. Due to being a fighting style in nature, you rely on your enhanced strength. You propel and swing your vines much like a whip to deal damage to enemies by using the spikes on the end.
Obtainment
Vine style can be found in (redacted Nimbus Sea location) and learnt through the founding NPC, Vesna Aves. Her quest consists of you finding various ingredients to further her studies (Tree Sap, Spices, Rock Salt, etc.). After completing the quest, Vesna will relinquish her vines unto you, giving you control over them as they bind with your energy system, turning your energy bar a slightly dark greenish gradient to the current corresponding color of your magic to represent it fusing with your energy system.
Without further ado, have fun watching the animations
(They aren’t the final product, just for reference 
)
depending on ur mastery that could be a good idea
