Personality: Playful and vivacious, studious, sometimes absentminded. Spry and caring, kind, friendly and sociable when in small groups. Shy and introvertive around large groups, mildly reclusive. Cyrus holds something of a willing obsession with academia, never being seen without a book in hand or with several around him. Professorial and eloquent when he needs to be, Cyrus is easily able to demonstrate his knowledge and profession as a Scholar when asked questions and deeply enjoys helping others in either academic or personal matters. Secretly a little vain, Cyrus loves to use his magic as a form of art, preferring to use flashy, impressive spells that have potent effects and wearing uniquely eccentric outfits that he finds appealing.
~Abilities~
Magical Prowess: Cyrus true skills lie in his natural aptitude for the magic arts. As a scholar, his approach to magic is applied via the use of special books containing spells, glyphs and runes to enhance the power of magic used, and his own experiments on magic. Cyrus himself holds mastery over the two main forms of magic, Destruction and Restoration. The two forms are broken down as follows.
Destruction: The art of channeling magic energy for purposes of attacking or destructive means, Destruction magic falls into three main catagories.
Elemancy: The ability of a magic-user to manipulate or cause natural phenomena such as fire, frost, or lightning for use in offensive magic, Elemancy is the standard for magic-users everywhere and the most commonly used form of magic. Cyrus holds a mastery over the art of elemancy, allowing him to use offensive magic with skill and precision to maintain distance between himself and the target for optimal strategic positioning.
Corrosion: The use of magic energy to destroy or corrode items by means of breaking down their structure. The most effective uses of this type of magic are destruction of armor or weaponry used by an opponent.
Infliction: The use of magic to cause phenomena that are harmful to organic life, such as manipulating body fluids into poisons or causing structural damage to tissues and weakening the body. While he is capable of these feats, Cyrus is extremely opposed to them, as he feels crippling someone for the sake of winning a battle is the lowest form of shameful abuse of magic.
Restoration: Another popular form of magic, Restoration also covers three different type of arts.
Healing: The ability to restore the body from damage, poisons, or illness is the majority of restorative magic.
Protection: The use of magical energy to create protective barriers around a person, or fields that will lower the effects of enemy magic.
Blessing: Also known as 'buffing' is the use of magical power to enhance abilities and attributes by increasing the flow of energy through the body. This type of magic is used in conjunction with healing and is favored by Healers and White Mages.
Alteration: The third 'main' school of magic, Alteration is the ability to force states of change in the world around the caster- essentially allowing them to alter the fabric of reality in a localized area. Commonly, there are only three types of Alteration magic used. These types are easily broken down into magic that affects the caster, magic that affects the area around the caster, and magic that affects items on either a permanent or temporary scale. While not particularly skilled in this form of magic, Cyrus tinkers with it from time to time in his experiments and has been known to use Alteration to accomplish smaller, mundane tasks.
Mysticism: A less understood type of magic, Mysticism is the ability to affect the natural world by means other than Destruction, Restoration, or Alteration. A controversial form of magic, Mysticism involves Sensory Magic and Energy Manipulation. Cyrus possesses a type of natural prowess in the basic abilities afforded by this magic, as he is able to sense and 'see' the energy constructs of the physical plane through a passive Sensory Magic ability. He is also able to levitate and use telekinesis, both of which are basic forms of Energy Manipulation magic.

~The beauty of magic is in the spectacle and wonder~
~So go big and make it a show or stick to parlor tricks~
