Skill Examples

Magical Familiar	These spells can summon different types of magical familiar that can assist the user in combat such as tanking for them or supplementing their damage. The summon can be a creature that fight up close or at a range. They also varies in appearances.
Imbuing Summon	If the user had other magic, they may imbue their summon with said magic or summoning elemental familiars that encompass that magic's element, adding to their damage depending on the opponent's elemental weakness. Imbuing the familiar with additional magic may also make them stronger.
Brooding	(Awakened) These spells allow the user to summon familiars that temporarily inhabits their shadow or dark places like underneath their clothes and only stretch out their black limbs when they attack. These limbs may manifest in a variety of forms depending on their origin, be it undead, demonic, or eldritch.
Dark Disruption	(Awakened) Dark familiars can grab a target of a reasonable size and pull them toward the user or pushing them away, which is highly effective at disrupting opponents.
Detachment	(Awakened) Dark familiars may also detach from its host to do things they are tasked with, although they are much weaker and malshapened in this form.

Weapons

Rod	(One-handed) Rod-like items such as wand, branch, etc. Rods often contain "Cantrips," which are weak spells that cost little energy to use.
Focus	(One-handed) Embellished items such as chakram, idol, skull, ceremonial dagger, effigy, icon, etc. As its name suggest, focus improves the user's concentration during spellcasting.
Spell Ring	(One-handed) These rings are worn on the dominant hand, which allows the user to write the spells instead of reciting the incantation. The written spell will appear as glowing words that float in thin air before the spell is cast.
Rune Stone	(One-handed) These are made with a variety of stone or cystal. The rune stone will float alongside the user, helping them cast spells. Rune stones allow the user to insribe runes onto surfaces, which can be activated from a distance.
Charms	(One-handed) A set of three flat-surface magic papers float along with you. Since charms are expendable, they improve the user's energy management.
Grimoire	(One-handed) These spellbooks range from small and light to large and heavy. The advantage of wielding a grimoire comes from the fact that they contain a large number of spells, which improves the user's spellcasting speed.
Staff	(Two-handed) Long and slender scepters that are often full of ornaments or magical energy. These staff are too flimsy to be used for physical combat. (Flavor) Staff often empowers spell that take a long time to cast since it acts as an energy absorber, drawing in mana from its surroundings.
Tarot Cards	(Two-handed) To cast spells with tarot cards, you must shuffle the deck and pull these cards out and arrange them in the air (they float) in a particular pattern before the spell materializes. Optionally, you may also pull out a card to cast a random spell, this is the fastest way to cast a spell. Think Astrologian from FFXIV.
