"I'll blow you away!"

Around- the blade moves forward and spins in place, knocking target about. Can cause Charm (Effected swaps sides [ May heal Duke, attacks former allies ] ), like Raven's Around. Cost = 13 tp.

Magic Artes!

"The winds cannot abide you any longer." "I'll destroy you!*" "Tempest!"

Meteor Storm – As the name says, meteors fall. Slightly randomized, slightly targeted. Non-Aligned, so.. Magic-based Physical damage? Cost = 76 tp. Advanced Arte.

"... Meteor Storm!" (Duke has no casting chant for this spell)

Guilty Resolver – A dome of vibrant energy erupts from a point, trapping and damaging those within. (Unknown alignment.) Cost = 55 tp.

"I now unleash the full force of my life."

Mystic Artes

Big Bang – (Prepare! Toll the beginning of time... BEGONE!!!/BIG BANG!! ... You still stand?) Duke simulates the creation of the universe via magic. While this is a devastating attack, it cannot render foes unconscious/deal death. (Always reduces to 1hp, or barely above KO)

Brave Vesperia –(Your very beings are within my grasp...! See? Die! Brave... VESPERIA!!!) Duke uses the Mystic Artes of the Guild, Brave Vesperia. The order goes Blast Heart(Raven), Slash!!!(Repede), Ancient Catastrophe(Rita), Radiant Moonlight(Judith), Overlord Reign Impact(Karol), Savage Wolf Fury (Yuri), then Sacred Penance(Estelle), which also heals him.

(* indicates chants while in Overlimit.)

Other Stuff

"Float" - Duke, in the entirety of his fights, is hovering off the ground (unless the player manages to knock him down.) This also applies to Dein Nomos, which is only in his hand for two artes, and the 'shields' of Second Form and Radiant Winged One.

"Teleport" - Duke can 'teleport', which usually is accompanied by him spinning in place, seeming to fall over, then straightening elsewhere on the field. He doesn't have to spin in place.
Into Overlimit -> "Behold!" "This ends now." "My friend, give me strength!"
Dizzied -> "It won't end like this..." "This cannot stop me..." "It will not end like this.."
Knocked down -> "Hmph." "Excellent."
Defending -> "You're weak." "That won't work."

Notes on in-game fighting patterns

During the first battle, only starts using teleportation at half health. He will teleport to right behind his target character, across the field, out of falling from aerial combos, or a tiny bit to left or right. Second form uses Teleport from the start of the battle, as does Radiant.

Various arte combinations

Shining Chaos -> Dragon Ascendant

Shock Thrust - > Havoc Heaven

Shock Thrust - > Death Blade

Razor Fang -> Death Blade

Shining Chaos -> Crimson Wolf

Shock Thrust -> Punishing Descend

Shining Chaos -> Death Blade-> Punishing Descend

Phantom Wolf - > Dragon Ascendant

Shining Chaos - > Moonbeam

Punishing Beast - > Shining Chaos-> Death Blade

Havoc Heaven -> Shining Chaos -> Light Spear

Punishing Beast - > Phantom Wolf-> Moonbeam

Duke regenerates his TP after he finishes his arte or arte combo. In other words, he reabsorbs the energy he expends.

Because he will eventually learn more things. Always.

because he picks up and adapts things

Turbulance Duke is not particularly good at this spell, as he has yet to figure out how to aim it beyond sticking it "on" someone.
Intermediate Arte? (Mid fonic arte), cost 15 tp.

Blow Dryer A weakened Turbulence that has a lot less force. Think one of these hair dryers.
Altered Intermediate Arte? (????), cost 10 tp.

Splash Terrible at this one, has only managed to cast it atop himself.
Intermediate Arte? (Mid Fonic Arte), cost 18 tp

Illusion Mostly an exercise in building images. He has managed a rough house of wood.

TP Cost - Variable : Constant Drain depending on complexity.

"Enchantments" - etching or otherwise marking a formula into a surface.

Heat Preservation formula for keeping things warm. Like tea at a comfortable drinking temperature, provided it isn't sitting in the freezer.
Cost is a charge - the more he pours into it, the longer the effects last.

Because he collects them

Niffel the Altaria

Susan the cat

Aina the Tyrannitar (formerly Dhaos's)

Girl-

Mayoccia the Minicoid.
Produces One Gel Base every week and a half.

He'll get stuff. Eventually.

Trauma Kit from when Stuart left the castle

Pendant from Clow and Howl and a plant from Thamuris

Books from Hermione

Folk remidies in book form from Snicket

For magegeeking is most definitely a thing.

Duke has devised a spell to attach to the key crest of a character. This spell will temporarily apply the "angel state" in the event that the key crest is damaged.

-Effect lasts 8 hours.

-Duke would like to add an effect that would create an image of the un-damaged crest for comparison/easier time figuring out what needs to be fixed. Needs to study "image magic"

Duke has a formula that basically functions as a recording and delivering for messages. It can repeat, seek out a familiar target, and return with a message.

Also can give text, and serve as a way to find people who are missing.

-Easily confusable. It seeks the life force/mana of the target. Duke evaded by setting up false points that felt like him.
