SKILL TREES AND LOGISTICS

In the world of GotS, powers are gifts from Starclan that have been bonded to your cat's soul and they cannot be taken away by any means other than spiritually. These powers, traditionally, have been used to combat the harsh territory and natural disasters, but in a time of prosperity and peace, they have evolved to instead improve the quality of life for the clans. Powers are split up into two categories; elemental and spiritual. The Elemental power trees deal more with the four classic elements, such as water and fire, while the Spiritual power trees deal with more intangible substances, like time and identity. A cat can only be Elemental or Spiritual, but a leader is both once Starclan gives them their nine lives. Starclan chooses a cat's power set, and they can only be told apart by a cat's aura, which can be seen and recognized by a full leader. Thus, leader's can aptly pair cats with the same skill set.

The Clan's power sets are as follows:

Lightclan
Elemental: Fire
Spiritual: Light

Thicketclan:
Elemental: Earth
Spiritual: Space

Galeclan:
Elemental: Air
Spiritual: Time

Willowclan:
Elemental: Water
Spiritual: Identity

POWER TREES

Cats are only imbued with Starclan's celestial power on the day of their apprentice ceremony, where the leaders preform a specific ritual. The rituals vary from culture to culture, but every ritual ends with a flicker of light originating from the chest of the newly-christened apprentice. When these cats gain their powers, they are able to learn specific skills that are unique to their power tree, but these skills are monitored closely to prevent powerplay. While apprentices cannot learn new skills other than the ones they already have, warriors can purchase new skills from the marketplace with money made from roleplay. The number of skills that cats can have at their age group is marked below;

Kits have no skills.
Apprentices can have the first 3 skills in their respective power tree.
Warriors can have the first 3 skills in their respective power tree and then progress.
Medicine Cats can have the first 3 skills in their respective power tree and then progress.
Deputies can have the first 3 skills in their respective power tree and then progress.
Leaders can have the first 6 skills of their original power tree and can have 4 additional skills in the other power tree and progress onwards.

When a cat uses an ability from their power tree, they're eyes are illuminated by a ghostly white light.

LONERS AND POWERS

Loners born without a clan will not have any powers at all unless they join a clan and receive a ceremony. However, a loner who was previously in a clan may have powers, and they may also progress in their skill tree.

SKILL 2
Body Heat
You are able to heat up the air around you and turn yourself into a space heater. With greater practice, you can shoot out jets of hot air from your body.

SKILL 3
Landmine

SKILL 4
Fire Manipulation
You can now summon and manipulate fire at any place and at any time with little effort.

SKILL 5

SKILL 6

You summon a flume of smoke that can obscure yourself from your enemy and also cause major fits of coughing. If the other cat stands in the smoke for too long, they can even grow burns or catch a case of blacklung.

SKILL 7
Steaming Hot
You can easily boil water and control the steam that it gives off.

SKILL 8
Dragon Forme
You can spontaneously combust and turn yourself into complete fire for a few seconds. How long you can stay like this depends on your skill, but being fire for too long can trap you like this. You are also susceptible to anything fire is weak to in this form.

SKILL 9
Grenade
By focusing your attention on a specific area, you can create an explosion made of pure kinetic energy.

SKILL 10
Ooh, Burn
You can spontaneously create burns on your opponent's body without creating fire. The intensity of the burn depends on your skill level.

SKILL 11

You can make anything - or anyone - spontaneously combust and wither away. Lightclan has strictly prohibited anyone from using this ability on another cat in-character.

SKILL 12
Familiar
Using your flame manipulation abilities, you can create a familiar made completely out of fire, which you can control. Each familiar is unique to every cat, but it takes a lot of energy.

SKILL 13
Ghost Light
You create a flame that is invincible to anything, be it wind or water, and it can also burn through anything. You can keep this flame going as long as your energy allows you to.

SKILL 14
Volcanic Upheaval
You can draw up magma from underneath the earth's crust and shoot it through the ground so that it causes it's own eruption. Doing this requires a lot of energy, and can instantly tire out a cat.

SPIRITUAL POWER TREE

Lightclan's spiritual power tree deals with the manipulation of light.

SKILL 1
Potential Energy
You are able to see and understand how energy works and flows around you. A more experienced user can understand the more intricate details of energy.

SKILL 4
Will o' Wisp
You can now coalesce your energy into an orb of pure light energy to illuminate darkness or lead the way.

SKILL 5
Reflection
You can bend the light around you to create multiple mirrors, but maintaining more than one mirror can be very taxing for the inexperienced.

SKILL 6
Camouflague
You are able to bend and manipulate the light around you so that you are invisible to the naked eye, but it is very hard to maintain while moving.

SKILL 7
5 Hour Energy
You can now drastically absorb energy from other cats or yourself to fatigue them and then boost the energy of yourself or your peers.

SKILL 8
Flashbang
You can drop a bomb of compressed energy. When it explodes, it lets out a flash of very bright light, which can briefly or permanently blind a cat, depending on the skill of the user.

SKILL 9
Solar Blade
You gather energy from other places and compress it into a tangible claw-like blade that can slice into enemies and possibly burn them, depending on the intensity.

SKILL 10
Infusion
You have the ability to draw energy from another cat's power and then infuse that energy into an object, such as taking a Lightclanner's fire powers to permanently heat up an object. The other powers are extremely diluted and weakened, however.

SKILL 11
Leech
You create a bubble around you that can sap all living energy from a set radius. It takes a lot of energy to maintain, and the size of the radius depends on your skill.

SKILL 12
Familiar
Using your light manipulation abilities, you can create a familiar made completely out of light, which you can control. Each familiar is unique to every cat, but it takes a lot of energy.

SKILL 13
Mind Control
You can very briefly transfer your life force to another body in order to control that form. Even so, staying in another body for too long can make you lose a sense of identity and self and your thoughts will eventually merge with the thoughts of the body you controlled.

SKILL 14
Celestial Explosion
You create a large, massive ball of raw, controlled energy and release it suddenly. Doing this is much like making a small sun explode and it can destroy everything around you, including yourself. Lightclan has strictly forbidden anyone from using this skill in character.

You are able to look into the future and have a vision that is guaranteed to happen. The visions are very brief and nonspecific, and they may leave you with more questions than answers, but they will give you an idea of the future.
