“Just because a society isn't the embodiment of its values doesn't mean it's failing to uphold them.”
― Jakob H. Greif, Museum Core: A Dungeon Core/LitRPG Apocalypse adventure

“Aura of the Crimson Dawn (short range, combat, blood/renewal/combat) When the System descended, it brought war with it. War, conflict, bloodshed. Some people drowned in it, their lives ending in one of myriad horrible ways. Others, though, survived and rose back up, stronger than ever. A phoenix, rising from the ocean of blood that covers the battlefield and taking flight among the pillars of smoke that rise from the field of corpses, reborn anew in the crucible of blood and steel to take war to the very heavens themselves. This Aura allows the user to wreath themselves in an aura of blood and violence, projecting hardened slabs of crimson energy around them, to be used as a means of attack and defense, as well as to enhance the user’s Stats by up to 10% (this can be increased through practice). However, while this Aura is active, the user embodies the spirit of a phoenix emerging from the ocean of blood that covers the battlefield, healing in the midst of a storm of violence, constantly increasing as conflict continues and escalates, and as more and more blood soaks the soil underfoot. If the user wants, it can also show those who sense it the entirety of what the user has killed, demonstrating their power and achievements to all those who would dare to face them on the field of battle. Cost: standard (10 mana per minute), cannot be overcharged with mana, projections cost varies between 5-20 mana per second or spilled blood”
