Abilites and Powers
Earth-Make: This magic is cast by saying "Earth Make" and then what the caster wants to make. This can be used for offensive and defensive purposes. This is the easiest of the Element Maker Magics to use as the caster simply channels their magical energy into the ever present ground and manipulates and molds it to fit their needs.

Iron-Make: This allows Van to create objects made out of iron, as the name indicates. His usage varies from offensive, defensive or supplementary purposes. A miscellaneous use of is fixing any metal-based object, by eliminating any rust that exists on the surface. Van also gain control over magnetism of metals only.

Path Release: This are an special aura created around Van, allowing him to absorve magics. The aura doesn't ressemble any entitie itself, but is invisible. Van is able to let attacks go through him and then emprison enemies body, so by sucking their magic essence. The attack doesn't need to be elemental to be absorved, if physical, Van just grabs the opponent and suck their life. This is his manifestation of the Path of Preta.

Sin Release: This attack makes the user itself an perfect human, by simply making him the most perfect in body and mind human. This is like making him a super star, so attacks can't reach him, he simply rejects the attacks, re-sending to the attacker. Van can also become more young and more beautiful,becoming pride of himself. This is his manifestation of the Sin of Pride.
