Ice Kitsune #735

General

Bred over thousands of years from their wild kitsune cousins, these highly sought-after creatures have exchanged some of their innate stealth for strong elemental powers and increased intelligence. Several breeds were developed, each specializing in a separate field, with fire and ice the most famous and popular. Although their abilities allow them to manipulate energies of their element with ease and grace, they do not generate magic themselves. Instead, they act as channel for magic energy. They can imperceptibly siphon energy from their environs and even other creatures to fuel spells. Likewise, their magi can channel spells through them, increasing their power and precision. These creatures are an invaluable aid to any magi studying the forces they specialize in.

Egg

Nine sleek tails frame this egg.

Hatchling

Young ice kitsunes are used as messengers, scrying through ice crystals and delivering short missives via frost patterns. They thrive on the constant challenges and intellectual stimulation, and even their play is a form of practice. These creatures are intense investments, for a Magi who would bond with one must not only constantly engage with their charge, but must also provide for their magical growth. The hatchlings sleep in small igloos, and require a highly magical environment to thrive. If either of these needs are not met, an adult ice kitsune will use its powers to whisk away the hatchling in a flurry of snow, leaving behind only an icy paw print.

Adult

Adult ice kitsunes are only limited in their power by the talent and skill of their magi. To truly utilize them fully, a magi must also have honed their own skills, and to do spellwork with an ice kitsune is a mark of accomplishment. They can act as primary or secondary focus for many rituals, and can coordinate magic from other magicworking creatures which might not otherwise work well together, such as a vetus and a snow vevex ray. Ice kitsunes specialize in defensive magics, and the best of them can draw power not only from their environs, but can drain it from hostile spells, even in the moment of attack.
