Chapter Eleven – Magic
They rarely use what could be called active magic, but when they do, the results are awe-inspiring.
Viper's magic sees the most use as it is inseparably linked to his illusions. In fact, one could say that his illusions are his magic, and while they would be close, it would not be close enough. No, his magic simply prefers the shifting, shadowy state of illusions to any other. It was in the broken future that Viper's use of his magic is the most spectacular. He uses it to bind some of Byakuran's powers shortly before dying of Tri-Ni-Set radiation poisoning. Rinato is the only watcher, and for once there are no insults between them, just silence and unspoken goodbyes. Somehow, though, they both know that this is not the end.
Selena has always added her magic to her explosives – making them better, stronger, and almost unstoppable. She had, however, been one of the best at defensive Charms and Runes, so when she wanted something protected, it was untouchable. After all, Tsuna still wore the handmade amulet she had given him to protect him from explosions, as did Gokudera. But her masterpiece will be the protection spells she puts on her and Gokudera's wedding rings that will last for seven generations.
Shamal only uses his magic to guide his mosquitoes, and occasionally for more fatal wounds. Oddly enough, he now prefers potion making – something that lead to a greater respect for his old professor. He provides potions and such to each of his three friends and has long since learned not to ask why they need what they ask for, as Selena requires mountains of burn creams for various experiments, Viper's occasional need for magic replenishers, or Rinato's unhealthy obsession with stockpiling poisons and the occasional Dreamless Sleep.
Rinato hardly ever uses his magic because in his profession it would be cheating – at least to him. And, unless there is someone who needs to be taken care of immediately, he does just fine. He does keep a large collection of poisons (and their cures) because he's a paranoid bastard and wants them just in case. His magic however, was unsurprisingly suited to battle and surprisingly, to warding. And while Selena favours protective traps, Rinato prefers destructive damage causing wards to protect what is his. So Tsuna will have to watch in bemusement as his paranoid lover weaves layer after layer of protections over the ring with his thin black wand of Elder, knowing that nothing he says will stop Rinato. Even if Tsuna is pretty sure that Rinato's going completely overboard.
Disclaimer: Not a thing.
AN: There is a new poll up. It's about the chapters for meeting between the Mafia and the British Wizards, so don't forget to vote! And arsenic-graffiti, I'll try to put in more reactions from other people, and this was in the past so... Anyway, I'll try to make it better, and I'm glad you like it!
Also, don't forget to review!
