Character Information

Temperament: Hanagumori

Hanagumori refers to light gray skies in cherry blossom season. It's fitting for Patchouli, who prefers to stay at home most of the time. You could also interpret it as Patchouli hiding the sun to protect her vampire best friend and her vampire best friend's little sister. Patchouli is an elemental specialist, so her Phase and Essence endowments are a little unusual. Patchouli compensates for her elemental weaknesses with other elements, so she resists all five Phases. Even though she is a Western magician, she is more familiar with the five Phases than your regular Eastern magician. However, she has her guard down when it comes to Star Essence, the one element she does not have covered.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating all elements except star

Patchouli is skilled in handling almost every element, making her exceptional even among magicians. The elemental magic she specializes in is also called spirit magic. Patchouli can use each element individually with incredible skill, but she also makes the best of her ability to use multiple elements by enhancing certain elements to reduce her weaknesses. Perhaps she is applying the five Phases' properties of inter-promotion and inter-regulation.

Attacks

Every Angle Shot

Patchouli Knowledge's Spread Shot. She sends out a barrage of bullets in five different elements. It's perfect for Patchouli, who is a magician skilled in handling multiple elements.

Five Seasons

Patchouli Knowledge's Focus Shot. Her bullet hell attack commands five different elements. It's called Five Seasons because it uses the elements of the four seasons—wood, fire, metal, and water—plus earth in a circular arrangement of bullets, which she launches with skill and grace.

Moon Sign: Silent Selene

While Patchouli doesn't think of alchemy as one of her talents, her skill far surpasses that of most ordinary alchemists.

Skills

Skill: Instant Magic [Stealth]

Stealth magic that diverts attention away from you. It can also be used when you just want to get completely absorbed in a book.

Sniper magic that hones in on a target while keeping you hidden. This is a smart way to fight for magicians.
