Class: Spell Claw
Nothing seems to happen for a long time when you press the option for Spell Claw. You don’t feel any sort of changes, mental, physical, or otherwise as you look around your body to see if anything of note happened to you. It’s only on examination of your paw when one of your claws suddenly pop out seemingly on its own. Odd as it may be that a lone claw emerged is the fact that it seems to be glowing with an orange light. Your head tilts quizzically as you wave your paw through the air, though nothing seems to happen save for the continued glow.
Your confusion only grows when you put your paw on the ground and find said claw digging into the ground beneath you. Digging may not even be the most accurate way to describe it; the glowing claw moves through the earth with ease, cutting through soil and rock without any sort of resistance. It continues until you carve out a roughly circular shape in the ground, leaving a glowing outline in the dirt. When you place your paw in the middle of the shape, a small boulder of dirt and stone that holds together in a solid mass lifting up in the palm of your paw.
When you retract the glowing claw, the mass of dirt and stone behaves like it normally would and crumbles into pieces. You extend the claw again and repeat the process, coming up with a neat, roughly basketball sized mound of earth. When you try to cast it off your paw, it flings out with the speed of a major league fastball, traveling almost a hundred feet before falling to the earth and crumbling to pieces on impact with the ground. Experimentally you try a claw on your other paw, only this one comes out in a light green color. That paw gets an immediate reaction when you swipe through the air, sending a powerful gust of wind blasting outward from your paw.
You experiment a bit and discover a few things; each individual claw seems to have its own spell assigned to it. Once you unsheathe one claw on a paw, unsheathing others seems to amplify the effect of that paw’s original spell, though it also seems to drain your strength more quickly the more power you use. Also, while you can only have one spell active on each paw at a time, you can mix spells on separate paws together for combined effects; using the earth and wind magic you discovered earlier together causes a sandstorm to whip around you like a tornado while you remain perfectly safe in the eye of the storm when you slam your paws into the ground.
A new screen pops up after a bit more experimenting, prompting you to start your quest.
