Invoker Attunement[edit]
Sera has an ascended attunement, Invoker. It is an ascended Summoner attunement and they are very similar with Invoker allowing Sera to draw on the mana and abilities from her summoned creatures. She can form contracts and bind monsters. Sera has a shroud, a magical aura that slows down or stops attacks, from her attunement. She is a lung marked attuned so she typically uses incantations with her spells. She can cast a binding spell that allows her to make weak copies of monsters with the word "bind" and if the monster is intelligent she can form a contract in which they exchange mana. Each bound and contracted creature costs Sera some of her mana pool but as an Invoker her pool grows faster than most other attunements. The Invoker attunement gives access to air and transference mana which can be combined to form travel mana.
Invoker Function[edit]
TODO
Contracts[edit]
Sera has made a number of contracts with different monsters, some of them enabling her use of their mana types. Sera frequently summons copies of her contracted monsters to aid her in battle. If she 'invokes' her contracts she can draw on their mana pool and spells.
Sera negotiated a contract with Seiryu the God Serpent during her Judgment, allowing her to use ice magic[1] and grants her limited control over ice magic. Seiryu copies can only be summoned within the Spires and Sera uses the chant "Serpent of the deepest depths, / Mother of a thousand spawn, / Power beyond mortal grasp, / I call upon our bond. / My strength to yours is nothing, / But my soul to yours demands, / Fulfill the oath we made as one, / And come to my command! / Seiryu, I summon you." Sera does not have the power to true summon Seiryu but even a fraction of Seiryu is devastatingly powerful.
Vanniv is a karvensi. A "fashion model"-looking monster with wings and "perfectly-sculpted muscles of stone." He wields a number of different mana types and is frequently summoned by Sera. He is somewhat magic resistant and has intelligence to match a person. Vanniv can use ice, fire, lightning and earth mana. Sera's updated contract with Vanniv gives Sera access to earth mana.
Researcher is a knowledge elemental. She looks like a shimmering blue woman with brown hair. She has access to mental mana and her contract with Sera allows Sera to use mental mana.
- Susan the Spectre
Susan the Spectre is a ghost who wields a knife. Sera gets spirit mana from Susan. Susan's touch causes a great numbness in the touched area.
Sera formed a contract with the spire formed copy of Emery Verena. The contract costs Sera next to nothing.
Sera managed to form a contract with the Transcendence Gateway Crystal, granting her transcendence mana. She can also summon a copy of the Crystal which can then form duplicates of it's test takers. For example, Sera summoned a copy of the Transcendence Gateway Crystal and the Crystal then formed three copies of Keras from when he took the Crystal's trial.
- Globbulon
Globbulon is a slime the size of a train car. Sera has previously summoned Globbulon in the air and dropped it on top of her Lute as a strategy.
Satsuki is a murder serpent and a descendant of Seiryu. She looks like a tall woman with turquoise hair flecked with splotches of blue and green. She wears armour covered in purple scales and carries a red glaive. Satsuki can an 'aura' of murder. It produces the taste of blood and a thumping of the heart which gets stronger as she approaches. She has three elemental shrouds. She has a great physical strength and speed and can produce a burning breath attack by consuming a bit of her fire shroud. She can also cause chest pain with a gesture and form spikes, spears, knives and blasts of red energy. She can also create a scream based breath attack.
Air Mana[edit]
Sera gets access to air mana from her attunement.
Move Object
Sera has an air spell that allows her to move objects towards her. She used the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact. Deliver this key unto me." The spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.
Wind Barrier
Sera has a spell that holds wind back. She uses the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact! Protect us from the wind." Again the spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.

Ceris can absorb any type of spell it comes into contact with and release the spell at the will of the wielder. The absorption range is around 10 feet and requires mental commanding to activate. Only one spell can be stored at a time and the sword has been confirmed to be capable of storing Sapphire level spells. Sera no longer has possession of Ceris and someone else has it right now.[5]
