Mask of Truth

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

- Oscar Wilde

The Mask of Truth is a type of Caster Magic and Lost Magic that generates a mask upon the users face by drawing on negative emotions. The stronger the emotion that is used to generate the mask, the longer it lasts and stronger the power boost granted by the mask itself. The mask is called the "Mask of Truth" due the the effect it has on the user. Bearing the mask reveals the users most negative traits, possibly because of the fact that it is constructed purely by negative feelings, and the longer the user has it on, the worse they begin to act, making it a dangerous magic to use.

Abilities Granted

 * Enhanced Abilities: While wearing the mask, the user's physical abilities are increased, and their magical energy is given a large boost. They endurance is also raised, and they can ignore most injuries.
 * Increased Savagery: This mask brings out the worst traits in the wearer, and as such, they are noted to become increasingly savage as the fight continues, seemingly fueled more by bloodlust than whatever their original motive for fighting may have been.
 * Negativity Sphere: Creates a purple blob of fueled by loathsome emotions that is hurled at the opponent. When it hits in succession, it becomes stronger.
 * Negativity Beam: The user can launch a beam from their fingertip that is imbued with loathsome emotions. The beam varies in strength depending on the emotion drawn by the user, but is noted to be stronger from mid to far range than close range.
 * Negativity Shield: A technique that creates a "jail-like" shield imbued with loathsome emotions. The shield is difficult to break and serves as a protection from outside forces, stronger with the emotion or memory that was used to create it. Notably, a positive force can destroy it utterly.

Trivia

 * The Mask of Truth is thought of by me to be an "opposite Patronus", the spell from the Harry Potter series. The Patronus is fueled by positive emotions or memories to defend, the Mask of Truth however, is fueled by negative emotions in order to attack.
 * The Negativity Sphere is based on the move Shadow Ball from the Pokémon series, a move that has a chance of lowering the foe's Special Defence stat, thus becoming "stronger" after a successful hit.
