Rishia Ivyred/Powers and Abilities

Stats
Stats-wise, Rishia is a very late bloomer. When she joined Naofumi's party, she had horrible base stats and low-base growth. Even when Naofumi got her level reset and leveled her up, she wasn't as strong as kid Raphtalia. When Rishia's level reached the 70's, however, her stats skyrocketed exponentially, becoming comparable to Filo's.

Combat
When classing up, she chose a class with better close-combat skills for Itsuki and completely ignored her strong points. Because she chose a class that ignored her talents, it ruined her ability to improve. When in close combat, Rishia fights very clumsily.

Scholar
One of Rishia's distinguishing features is how good she is academically. She has incredible memory and can learn languages in mere days. She has become an expert in translating texts from ancient heroes or tomes.

Magic
According to Rishia, she was never very talented at anything, but if she had to pick something, magic would be what she is most skilled at.

She can use a sword, cast magic, and perform healing. She recites magic and casts recovery on someone who is injured. She can use all types of Magic and is quite resourceful otherwise.

She is capable of Elemental magic, a synthesis of fire, water, earth, and wind magic which is very difficult to control, to the point that there are few people with the necessary magic attributes to use it. The Magic Shop Owner tried hard to get Rishia to learn it, saying that there were very few people with the potential to use it but, it is the perfect magic for the jack of all trades, Rishia.


 * First Guard: Gives a minor boost to defence to the target.
 * First Water Shot: Summons a ball of water to shoot at the target.
 * First Power: Gives a minor boost to speed and strength to the target.

Hengen Muso Style
By concentrating chi on her eyes, Rishia can see the flow of energy. The Instructor was so impressed by her talent and enthusiasm that she taught her the Peerless Transformation Style. Rishia excels at maintaining Peerless Activity for a long time.

Hengen Muso Abilities

 * Binding Thrust: While throwing a knife, a whip entangles the opponents, and as the knife lands, the opponents are drawn in and skewered by a short sword.
 * Spiral Slash: A Sword Skill where life force is expelled around the blade in a spiral pattern.
 * Circle!: The wielder twirls his or her rapier in a full circle, and the blade makes a high shriek as it passes through the air. All projectiles fired at the wielder are mowed down.
 * First Stance, Sun: A Sword Skill and the first stance of a four stance attack where the entire body of the weapon is coated in life force extracted from the ground and the user is covered in light as the weapon is thrust into the opponent.
 * Second Stance, Moon: A Sword Skill and the second stance of a four stance attack where the light the user is covered in from the first stance「Sun」grows brighter destroying any incoming attacks.
 * Third Stance, Star: A Sword Skill and the third stance of a four stance attack where the user disappears for a moment only to reappear in front of the opponent and deploy a consecutive stream of attacks that rival the「Multilayer Crumble Attack!」.
 * Fourth Stance, Devil: A Sword Skill and the final stance of a four stance attack where the user swings their weapon in wide arcs while tip glows leaving black tracks in the air. It has a blinding effect and is powerful enough to thwart a hero's execution device.
 * Rolling Spin: Life force is poured into a weapon and the weapon is then thrown at the opponent.
 * Point of Focus: The first basic technique of the Hengen Muso style. This attack can be defense-ignoring or defense-rating and works by sending energy inside the target and using their strength and rigidity against them. This attack can be resisted by being 'soft' and rejecting the energy.
