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.
