Lunar Burst

Lunar Burst is an unofficial ability only manifested under the magic format of pure lunar magic. This burst of energy fires from the base of the open hand after enough MP energy is charged to that location, and without the support of a glyphring, fired like a cannon in the form of three six-inch energy spheres tightly formed together in a linear line. This three-round burst of magic is pure lunar magic, or magic from the moonlight used in the raw format without the assistance of Leray magic or dark magic. It is possible and far easier to manifest this kind of energy by expending the lunar power as it is already stored in a lunar crystal.

By its design, lunar magic does not need to be used under the confines of a veil; it can exist anywhere in the world and deplete from a person's charged ME levels. However, without the ability to recharge depleted ME points, using magic is ill-advised, since the condition would trigger intrusive rejection. But as with proven documentation of ancient trials from mages who studied lunar magic, the format of magic while possible is considered too dangerous for the user to conduct or test. In theory, anyone with high enough ME points can technically invoke Lunar Burst or other lunar magic spells. But in doing so, they severely risk their life in the process since the overdraw of intense magic easily overloads or damages magical circuits, which in turn inhibits or disrupts important neuron-electric processes, while also damaging structural DNA/RNA over time. The use of lunar magic is always fatal to the user, either causing a long term death inflicted most commonly with cancer, or instantly on the spot from critical organ failure. Alternatively, it may be possible to affect the mind of the user as well, in a condition known as lunar madness.

Predecessor Spells: None
Evolutionary Forms: Lunar Beam

Effect

Attack Form: Unguided Projectile 3-Round Burst
Attack Type: Lunar Magical Damage
Glyphring: False

Side/Secondary Effects

The use of all lunar magic has life-shortening effects on the body, or fatal consequences to the mind and body for anyone who does not have lunastasis. For the target, real time damage will occur.

Manifestation

The wielder does not need a lot of time to charge up the required MP/ME to invoke Lunar Burst. Once the hand begins glowing with a strong cyan blue effect, the wielder aims and launches three energy spheres in a quick 3-round burst, with each sphere remaining close to each other and traveling quickly in a straight linear line without being affected by gravity. These energy spheres use pure lunar magic, which as a force is far superior compared to all other spells regardless of the attack form that is used. Therefore, lunar magic such as this spell will without fail inflict real time damage to other people including other creatures/summons. The lunar magic spheres can also easily destroy or damage all objects that are supposed to be protected by the Leray veil through protective item synthesis. The cause for this is also linked to the effect this has on other people's personal/magical auras, since the lunar magic is strong enough to disrupt or break the link that target wielder has between their magical circuits and the alternate veil that is giving them their own powers, separate from their potential lunar magic source. In effect, this ability can theoretically disrupt or disable the magic abilities of the person hit by this spell, aside from taking serious wounds and other real time damage. Unlike dark magic, lunar magic needs no particular emotion to function, nor does it require a veil.

Source

Compressed Personal MP
Average MP usage: ?%

The MP usage will vary because unlike most spells, this ability consumes a fixed number of ME points, so as Maximum ME goes up, MP usage will go down.

Discovery

*Spoilers!*
Read Infinite Misconception first

In the Infinite Misconception series, Jane Venn ended up manifesting her very second lunar ability with the support of the lunastasis symbol, installed by the E-7 Mark 64 spell bomb prototype (the first lunar ability was Hidden Power). This burst of lunar magic was discovered to have the obvious incredible advantage of being used without support of the veil, but also the disadvantages of being highly volatile and dangerous for the lone wielder aside from the other side effects. Jane Venn is the only genetically modified human being who can invoke lunar magic such as Lunar Burst without suffering from the fatal consequences that all other mages would for invoking lunar magic. Her magical circuits were genetically altered so that lunar magic could safely pass through while the ME levels were reconfigured to a higher state gradually over time rather than suddenly, causing past experiments on test subjects to lead to instant death.

Magic Format: Lunar Magic

Material Components

Lunar Crystals can be used to achieve this effect when ME requirements are not met by the wielder, which is most often the case for wielders who have less experience in using magic, or for civilian type people whose average ME levels range between 5-15 points. Using these crystals does not make lunar magic usage safer.

Gestures & Ritual

Connecting the personal aura to the lunar magic signature when used to Leray/dark magic is not an easy task. One must somehow identify the conceptual powers of the moonlight as an energy source and be capable of feeling the sensation without the assistance of magic before attempting successful practice.
