You are the Revenant Mage. You must defeat Ansirous.

Words of Power Known

Orbus

Seems to denote circularity; when used with Fuge it created a fireball but when used with Zephra it created a stormy blast with the caster as the focal point.

Fuge

Used to do things with fire.

Vomus

Used to spew things from the mouth.

Verbam

Seems to relate to speech in general, not necessarily words. Used in combination with Biblus to speak.

Biblus

Has to do with words, books and the like. Used in combination with Verbam to speak.

Trasus

Used to move from one place to another. Blinking, basically, on its own.

Zephra

Used to do things with wind or electricity or both.

Torrentus

Seems to denote a wide and/or constant stream.

Scutum

Effectively "Shield". By itself it creates a small shield of force- useful but not particularly strong.

Fulga

Seems to denote a line, straight out from the caster. Offensive spells gain focus but are thus harder to aim.

Zephyr

Seems to behave like Zephra. Might not include the electricity element. Possibly stronger?

Ferrum

Used to do things with metal. Most likely requires physical contact with metal.

Obscurus

Hides things. Spidrift uses it to go invisible when he teleports.

Acridum

Used to do things with acid, possibly also noxious gas.

Philen

Untested. In theory, can be used to calm animals.

Unda

Most likely used to do things with water. Spidrift combined it with Fuge to make a gout of steam.

Sanctus

Has to do with holiness, light, and healing. Unholy and evil creatures take extra damage, but Ferrucio is mostly shielded- he merely feels a lot of pain when using this Word.

Spells known

Verbam Biblus

Allows Ferrucio to speak.

Biblus Fuge

Writes letters of flame in the air.

Trasus

Short-distance teleport.

Trasus Fuge

Burst of movement with a trail of flame.

Orbus Fuge

Small fireball.

Fulga Fuge

Fire Beam.

Scutum Ferrum

Turns a held metal object into a shield temporarily.

Fulga Ferrum

Extends held metal objects, violently.

Orbus Zephra Fuge

10-foot explosive firestorm AoE.

Orbus Sanctus

Lightball. Explodes in a flash of holy light, only directly harming evil/unholy creatures.

Torrentus Fulga Sanctus Fuge

Giant fuckoff deathbeam. Causes extreme pain to Ferrucio. Kills even pure-hearted targets.

Torrentus Acridum

Wave of Acid. Useful against armor.

People

Ferrucio, The Revenant Mage

The protagonist. Was once a very powerful mage who eventually became an evil undead Revenant before losing his sanity and memory.

Spidrift, The Butcher Mage

A man the Revenant Mage kidnapped at the age of three. Named Spidrift, he himself has admitted to being thoroughly brainwashed as to love the Revenant Mage unconditionally, and also explained that due to years of brutal training and condition, he has "a healthy sadism and lack of ambition." He earned his position by killing the man who trained him. Smiles disconcertingly and doesn't really blink.

Astrea, The Advocate Mage

The Revenant mage killed her mother when Astrea was four. Astrea is seeking revenge.
