Ginto Sphere: Vermillion

» Item Name: Ginto Sphere: Vermillion
» Item Type: Defense - Sofia

» Used For: Utility

» Item Description: The third model in the line of Ginto Spheres, Sofia has once again managed to overcome the difficulties to create something new and innovative. Ginto Sphere: Vermillion is the first of her attempts at creating something that’s neither designed for offense, nor completely devoted to stop an advance either. By using the success she had on her previous two models, Ginto Spheres Onyx & Zaffre, the Quincy prodigy decided to test just how different and unique of an effect she could create from Ginto technology. The result is a red sphere, just smaller than her fist, and not unlike the look of the previous two models besides the color difference. Within it, large amounts of reiryoku from Ginto and her own energy were fused in near perfect reaction for the desired effects.

When used, the sphere implodes into a subtle red smoke. The action doesn’t damage Sofia or the opponent at all, as it is simply harmless noise. The red hue of the smoke is not too thick either so visibility is completely unaffected by this technique. Within a matter of seconds the smoke dissipates. And though nothing seems to have occurred, the next available violent interaction or clash between the musical prodigy and her opponent would trigger its ability. Vermillion creates a form of paradigm, where Sofia’s energy signature is the stable basis of balance. Every other force or form of energy, regardless of type of construct is treated as different and foreign so long as it’s not created by her. With that, Vermillion is able to instantly swap the qualities of two different forces, Sofia’s and someone else’s temporarily.

For instance, should Sofia and her adversary be running towards one another with a knife on hand, and the opponent happen to be much faster than Sofia, then Vermillion could switch the speed of the current action to reverse the outcome and grant the slow speed, and the speedy lethargy. Unfortunately, the Ginto Sphere: Vermillion is limited to one attribute at a time and only one attack or force at a time. What that means is that in the same scenario, Sofia could either swap the speeds of the incoming attack with her own [i]or she could swap the power being delivered by the thrust of the knife. However, unfortunately, it cannot do both. So an extremely powerful and fast attack faced up against a weaker and slower attack, would result in one of the two attributes being changed, though it would still retain one of them as well.

When using two Ginto Spheres: Vermillion at once however, the effects change some. Instead of swapping attributes of incoming forces, instead, using two would create what she calls one of the best tricks in the book. When an attack that has any form of damage or debilitating potential is used while two Vermillion spheres are present, then if Sofia uses an attack that doesn’t induce harm or any debilitating form of damage will cause hers to always land first despite the speed of the attack or the enemy, or even the nature of either. Of course, the ability possesses great risk and disadvantages for Sofia. If she accidentally uses any form of damaging or debilitating attack after using Vermillion and before its effects are underway, then it would be as if nothing had happened, and the events would transpire as they would. However, it doesn’t stop there. Should Sofia use an attack that’s damaging but that it’s also stronger than her opponent’s, then the effects are reversed and their attack hits Sofia first regardless.
A successful use of either a single or double Ginto Sphere: Vermillion would also incur a 1 & 2 post cooldown respectively.
