Dex-Faith builds are fucking awesome.Mine too! As much as I adored Dark Souls 1, I've completed Dark Souls 2 3 times already. I never really tried a faith-based build, though.
I find it funny that everyone so far has not noticed Darius' statement and his bashed up arm.
basically a type of summoning magic where you can bind the soul of a beast you killed and summon its soul as a phantom to fight alongside you. I was thinking of Darius having the bound soul of his first dragon that he had to put down. I will say that it was a rare dragon and so was a tragic loss. The trick is the bound soul is only good for one use. after the battle, the spirit will be released from the object it is bound to.
@solReaper 's not posted in a long time. I know he's been really busy, but at this rate he'll be left behind...
A note I forgot to elaborate on fully in my character brief (and i'll go and update this after I make this post) is that Ijani's demonic magical abilities have been stolen directly from demons using magical devices that he invented. Some schools of magic such as lust, fear and lifesteal magic are normally impossible for mortals to cast, because they don't have the right kind of mana. Ijani's crystal foci siphon off the magical essence of an incapacitated demon and draw it into himself, altering the nature of his mana to be more demonic and allowing him to learn and cast spells from schools of magic the demon was able to use, though he does not gain any knowledge of how to use the magic through this. The process is quite dangerous and extremely painful, and it only works on Lleians.
In contrast, cultists rely on pacts with demons to be able to cast dark magic by drawing from the demon's own mana rather than their own. It's inefficient, and they're limited to the powers of the demon they have formed the pact with.
Alright, everything's updated. It might be worth adding my character sheet to the first post, like you did with the others, though.
