 ===== Description =====
@@ Line 149: / Line 149: @@
 Rotten in many ways but redeeming in others; Miles’ capacity for raw humanity has extended into his responsibilities. Love, empathy, duty, even a touch of a homebrew ethical morality, they come together to sculpt his ability to be a lover, a fighter, a creator, a killer, and knowing how and when to apply what he knows and what he does to a situation appropriately.
 === Spellbook ===
->Characters with skills and abilities in spellcasting can start knowing a few spells. They can be committed to memory, written in a book, or manifested some other thematic way. Describe how they learn and prepare spells, and their source of power.
->This section can also be used for Psionic abilities.
->This section can be omitted from the character biography if your character knows no spells, psionics, or other magic-like abilities.
-  * **Spell Name** - Describe your character's spells in bullet points.
+  * **Machina caro et Magia** - Magic of flesh and machine. Miles’ cybernetically augmented body is in possession of a genuine __soul__ allowing for his essence to interact with the essential energies of life and being which comprise the universe. Despite his living soul, his natural magical potential is limited by inexperience, an inexperience which he has partially bridged with the technological.
-    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
+    * **Spellcap:** Incorporated into the thigh of his cybernetic leg, a capacitor system has been incorporated. Synthetic tendons, grafted nerves, micro-crystalline fibers, amalgamations of magically reactive metals, all crafted and woven into a high-energy transfer system. Effectively coming down to be a capacitor receptacle, the spellcap system allows Miles to insert a cylindrical capacitance vessel which has been infused with the concentrated life energies of donor flora and fauna, as well as the focused spellcraft of contributing magic wielders. Once the capacitance vessel is tapped, Miles is able to route the energy contained through his cybernetically augmented tissues, allowing for the contained energy to be released as an imitation of the original spellcraft imbued into the vessel, or, to be used as a catalyst for Miles’ own magic potential.
+    * **Essence Siphon:** Incorporated as a secondary function of the Spellcap system, the essence siphon allows Miles’ body to function like an antenna, as naturally occurring magical energies surrounding Miles interact with him, excess that would simply pass over and through him is instead caught, and routed into a spellcap vessel if an empty or partially filled spellcap is chambered in the spellcap receptacle.
+    * **Oculi Verax:** Commissioned as another eye to be fitted into his skull at his choosing, Miles is in possession of a spherical orb, precision crafted to fit correctly in his cybernetic optic socket. This orb has been crafted using a layered lattice of Lorath rune scribed crystal. Through the spellcraft embedded into the crystalline structure, not only visible light, but magical energy flows and irregularities are interpreted into electric signal impulses routed into Miles’ optical processor and interpreted into visual perception of energies tied to souls, spellcraft, and the interaction between the two.
+    * **Telepathic Augmentation:** As a holdover of modifications made a universe away to permit rapid and silent communication between persons with their minds linked through biotechnology, the capability to communicate through telepathy exists for Miles as a product of repeated and continued use of the method, a practiced synergy between brain and processor, Miles is able to telepathically communicate with organic ‘sensitives’ able to perceive telepathy, as well as with computerized I/O systems outfitted with appropriate transceiver hardware.
+  * **Read The F!@#ing Manual** - Like any proper engineer, technician, mechanic, or scientist, Miles recognizes the importance of user manuals. This importance extends to spellcraft, as documentation of spells, written with step-by-step instruction for implementation, can serve as a suitable framework for Miles’ use of the spell. So long as the spell is documented fully, and is legible, Miles can perform limited degrees of spellcraft using magic suited for students and novices.
+    * **What the Hell am I Reading?:** What serves to hinder Miles’ ability to  advance in magical arts is the language of magic. Beyond the simple cantrips which exist for the most novice of spell weavers in various fields of magic, Miles is unable to go much further due to not having a comprehension of the written or oral structure of advanced magic usage which relies on concepts far outside of normal linguistics.
+  * **Neurokinesis** - As an extension of Miles’ ability to exert limited control over magical energies, his limited telepathic ability, and mostly his expertise in biological sciences Miles is able to exert short-range limited projection of bioelectrical discharges. Miles’ relatively weak bioelectric discharges are calibrated to interact with neural receptors in biological organisms with a nervous system reliant on bioelectrical impulses. Effects of this ability are relatively minor when held in comparison to the abilities of Occhestians, or dedicated spellcrafters focused on controlling magics.
+    * **Numbing:** Through precision bioelectric stimulation, Miles can temporarily numb tactile sensation receptors, and immobilize exposed muscle tissue.
+    * **Stimulation:** Applied in much the same manner as numbing a subject, Miles is able to apply bioelectric impulses to induce sensations in nerve endings, creating momentary or temporarily lingering sensations in nerve groups. Miles’ limited proficiency prevents him from applying this skill to induce any pain beyond a mere sensation of a soft pinprick or a static shock. This ability can also be used to induce contraction in exposed muscle tissue.
