Raph-chan/Powers & Abilities

Raph-chan shares Raphtalia's affinity for light, shadow, and illusion magic. As such, she also shares Raphtalia's resistance to illusions. In addition, Raph-chan has spiritual powers. While Raph-chan is extremely proficient in magic, she also seems to be lacking in physical abilities. Raph-chan also cannot speak human words but other monsters like filolials can translate for her.

Shikigami/Familiar
Unlike most creatures, shikigamis don't have levels. Instead, they have a list of stats which can be adjusted by using various objects and materials. These stats go incredibly in-depth and can control individuals values such as the stiffness, softness, fluffiness, sleekness, and length of her fur. Naofumi later increases Raph-chan's mutation factor which gives her the ability to level up and later gain more abilities.


 * Search: Raph-chan is able to innately know which direction Raphtalia and Naofumi are, regardless of distance.
 * Transformation: As a shikigami, Raph-chan is able to transform into an ofuda. After further mutation, Raph-chan was able to transform into a enlarged raph-chan form.
 * Distress Signal: Raph-chan is able to send a distress signal to either Naofumi or Raphtalia. Raphtalia and Raph-chan slowly develop the ability to communicate concepts between each other.
 * C'mon Raph: This skill allows Naofumi to summon Raph-chan. This skill is flexible as Raph-chan can bring other shikigami or members of the Raph race along with this skill. This skill was developed from mutation. Later, Raph-chan mutated the ability to use this skill herself to summon other members of the Raph race.
 * Unique Class-up: Allows Raph-chan to endow those taking the class-up ritual with a unique raph-chan upgrade path. This turns monsters into a member of the raph species and gives others the abilities of the raph species.
 * Dragon Hourglass Interference: Allows Raph-chan to interfere with the Scroll of Return and Return Dragon Vein movement skills which require the dragon hourglass to teleport.
 * Curse Immunity: As a shikigami, Raph-chan is immune to curses.

Magic

 * Illusion: Raph-chan is able to cast advanced illusion magic of various types.
 * Status Effect Resistance: Raph-chan is able to protect others they touch from status effects including powerful ones from curse series weapons.
 * Sanctuary: Allows friendly teleportation in teleportation-jammed areas and prevents enemy teleportation within this skill's area of effect.

Ceremonial Magic

 * Pinwheel: Cooperation magic with Filo and Raph-chan. This summons four blades of wind, like throwing stars, to shoot at the target.

Cooperative Magic

 * Emptiness is Form: A large-scale illusion spell which confuses the targets' senses.
 * Dream Illusion: Shadow Strike: A combination of Raphtalia's Shadow Single Strike and Raph-chan's illusion magic. This combination skill generates countless illusory copies of the user. The user then uses the Shadow Single Strike skill against the enemy while in their blind spot.
 * Dream Illusion: Mist Single Strike: A combination of Raphtalia's Instant Blade: Mist and Raph-chan's illusion magic. This combination skill makes countless attacks using Instant Blade: Mist on the target. Some are illusions while others are real.

Spiritural Powers

 * Spiritual Sight: Raph-chan has the innate ability to see spiritual being such as souls which are typically invisible to most beings. She can also allow one person nearby to also see spiritual entities.
 * Soul Transference: Raph-chan lead the other Raph species in a ceremony to transfer the soul of Raphtalia's ancestor to create Raph-chan II.
