Take Over: Dragus Soul

"A terror came onto these lands, where a single human tried to conquer the dragon kind... And after all, as he attained the control over these mighty and fearful creatures... What kind of being has he become?"

- A wise man is talking about the pure essence of Dramon Soul and how its users become what they become.

Take Over: Dramon Soul (, Teiku Ōbā: Doramon Sōru lit. Confiscation: Ultimate Monster Wild Dragon Spirit) is an advanced Caster-type Transformation Magic, to be more concrete, it is a form of Take Over. It allows the Magician to harness the strength of quite powerful beings, the Dragons themselves, breaking all the canons of humans being inferior to the dragon kind. If going to a more specific way, this form of Take Over is considered to be one of the most powerful forms of this magic itself, because it allows to absorb one of the most powerful races known through the and utilize their own might, as it was the user's from the very beginning; not stopping on that, Dramon Soul revolves around the takeover of any draconian creature, being it a Dragon, Wyvern, Naga or other lizard-esque creature, which is considered as draconic one.

The Dramon Soul, because of its mechanics and unique essence, can be even considered as Lost Magic too, because nowadays it is a miracle to meet a practitioner of such kind of Take Over. Being an Ancient Spell within its nature, as Dramon Soul's user is able to absorb the dragon kind in some literal mean, they are also known as the Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers (, Fifusu Jenerēshon Doragon Sureiyāzu lit. Fifth Generation of Dragon-Destroying Magicians: Hybrid Concept of Dragon Humans); also, at some pace, they are able to utilize Dragon Slayer Magic, and moreover, reaching their own benefits from having not the draconian powers, but the dragons themselves as the source of their great strength.

Overview
So, it is an essential thing, that initially Take Over allows the user to, essentially, "take over" the power (or the body, in the case of a Vulcan) of an entity and use it as means of fighting in the battle or for other purposes. To make first steps in such kind of magic, the user needs to make several things in order to properly utilize Take Over. The whole process of monster's absorption for the specific Soul is known to be quite hard sometimes, as the taken over being wouldn't give their body to the user on a simple agreement. When the user makes the first ever contact with their new-found object for their Soul, they need to defeat the non-human creature and then take it over, absorbing its Magic Power in their own body, specifically, in their Magic Origin. While this process starts, the user also must releases their own Magical Aura, which will be surged into the creature too. As the magical energy will flow into the monster's body, it will react with its Magic Origin, literally conquering it, replacing the creature's energy with the energy of the Mage. After such hard task is done, and their Magic Origin completely attained the unknown Eternano Particles, thus, the Magic Power of the non-human creature, only after that the user is able to transform their body in that, which the consumed Soul had before. Also, there are cases, when the monster, which was defeated and taken over, still has its own willpower, after what the process of the battle between the fighting spirits begins. The reason is simple - who will win this fight, will dominate the body in next attempts of its utilization; if the user loses this battle, then there is a high change of monster taking over the human body. Because Dragons are known to be very, very, very dangerous and powerful beings (and again, very dangerous and powerful), Dramon Soul is thought to be extinct for a while, because if a person is not a Dragon Slayer, then they have almost no chance of winning a fight with a dragon even in thousand-on-one brawl, not to mention that a simple Dragon is capable of utterly crushing the human being with their pinky on a paw. However, if the human Mage somehow were able to gain the victory against the dragon and even absorb it, they can reach a power that they had never imagined. Usually, it is thought, that a person with extraordinary power and will were able to defeat and take over a weakened dragon, attaining its power in the process. It is said, that at least the corpse of Dragon is also can be served as the source of the future basement for specific Dramon Soul, if the person cannot find any dragon near their house, school, neighborhood, etc.

When the user makes a use of their Dramon Soul, they achieve a drastic change in their appearance, as their body assimilates with the body of dragon, to be more concrete, with the remnants of dragon's magic power, which now resides in the user's Magic Origin; the person gains a whole new look, which usually varies between, well, the users, as someone can have almost no visible changes, for example, small amounts of draconian scales on the body, prolonged canine teeth, claws, etc., while someone would grow even a tail or wings or horns. Now, the changed body serves as a representation of what monster was earlier, being something of an unbelievable transformation with enormous capabilities. The Dramon Soul significantly increases both physical and magical power, speed, endurance, durability and other physical attributes of the Mage to the point of bringing the human physique to the level, which almost rivals a real dragon. They can attain even more benefits from the creature they have as the source of their Soul, not stopping only on the physical manifestation of their changed body. If the Mage truly knows the creature they had absorbed, only after that they are able to bring the true power of the creature to the surface. In case of this type of Take Over, the user is able to reach several stages of their transformations, creating even their own, utilizing different parts of their draconian features and power in all, make a quite good competence with the infamous Dragon Slayers, etc. - all in all, with this type of Magic the Mage is able to reach miraculous heights, which will bring them to the peak of even the whole Human Kind.

Weakness
On the other side, no one ever said, that it is a piece of cake to utilize Dramon Soul. The truth to be told, the most needed part of the user's capabilities is... their willpower. In order to properly use Dramon Soul, the Caster needs to keep in check their mind, as Take Over is known to be not only extremely powerful type of magic, but also extremely dangerous one; as the taken-over creature has its own consciousness even after it was devoured (though, not directly), it may influence the mind and body of the user in one way or another, because of what people with a little willpower usually go on a rampage, when they make an every use of their Dramon Soul. If the Mage displays a considerable confidence in their own power, they are quite good at utilizing Take Over and Magic in overall, and their willpower is a considerable tool in order to rule the stage to stand against the absorbed Soul, then they have no problems in its utilization. If a person does not possess a strong willpower, there is another way of avoiding conflicts with the absorbed Soul. The only known, thus, its main for nowadays, is to find a way to communicate with each other and working in unison, creating a bond which will allow reaching the new heights without terrible drawbacks which Dramon Soul shows. Also, Dramon Soul is dangerous because even if the body of the user attends to the body of the dragon, it can eventually not be able to fully resist to the might of dragon by means of Magic Power and other similar things, which would greatly affect the health of the user, both physical and mental. Also, if the main rule of Take Over is provided very well (the user must truly understand the creature they take over), in order to harness the full power of the Soul itself, then there is no problem with the utilization of Dramon Soul at all.

Strangely enough, but considering such fact as the common thing, the users of Dramon Soul become vulnerable to the Dragon Slayer Magic; even though they can use it and even gain the Factor of the Dragon, they can receive damage from the real representer of Dragon Slayers. In such case, for example, if Fire Dragon Slayer will fight with the user of the Fire Dramon Soul, then the Fire Dragon Slayer would win the battle with 95 percents, on the other hand, if the user of Fire Dramon Soul would meet Light Dragon Slayer, then they have a slightly bigger chances of winning. Of course, such weakness isn't implied with the Dragon Slayer who is also in possession of the Dramon Soul, because they are Dragon Slayers in a first place, only after that, they are Dramon Soul users.

Interaction with Dragon Slayer Magic
It is known, that Dragon Slayers are greatly affected by their signature magic. As a result, they can literally transform themselves into a Dragon if they will use their Magic too much. The overuse of Dragon Slayer Magic is explained by the process of their bodies not having the Factor of the Dragon (竜の因子, Ryū no Inshi), the special antibodies, which create the protection from the draconic transformation. If the Dragon Slayer doesn't possess them, they will end up becoming the one of the dragon kinds, becoming a Dragonborn. In order to avoid it, Dragon Soul Seal was eventually created. This supplementary spell serves as a defensive mechanism, which would save the dragon destroying magician from the dragon transformation. The whole process is known to be an interaction of the user's Magic Origin and the dragon's eternano particles. As not every Dragon parent or rather not every adopted child of the winged lizard would accept such thing, or would face some unusual events, which would prohibit the utilization of Dragon Soul Seal, it was revealed that the users of Dramon Soul do possess the Factor of the Dragon in their bodies. Because they absorb the soul of the dragon and its power in their own body, and if they truly are capable of taming and controlling their strength, then their body will be attuned with the draconic particles, which will create the special antibodies which would block the process of becoming a Dragonborn.

From that, Dragon Slayers are capable of saving their own body, if they will learn the Dramon Soul, however, several rules must be kept. The first rule is that Dragon Slayer must take over the soul of a similar dragon to them, i.e. Fire Dragon Slayer cannot have the Water Dramon Soul. The second rule is that the initial process of having the representer of dragon kind in the body is very specific and hard task; because of this, if Dragon Slayer wants to harness the full power of both of their magics, they need to beat the crap out from their dragon soul in their inner world, like a true Dragon Slayer serves for it. The third rule is the interaction of two different sources of the dragon powers. As the Dramon Soul users often become Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers, if the user was the Dragon Slayer from the beginning, they will end up having specific problems, if they decide to have a draconic soul in their body. If being short on words, the nature of Dragon Slayers is directed in the destruction of the dragons. Being dissimilar to this, Dramon Soul allows its users to become a dragon-human hybrid in some sense. As the result, if the Dragon Slayer accepts the dragon soul, they will need to survive a very painful process of stabilization their draconic origins, in order to not only properly utilize their first magic but the second magic too. Indeed, because of this Dragon Slayers cannot replicate the Dual Element Dragon Slayer Magic by means of combining their initial Dragon Slayer Magic with their Take Over: Dramon Soul. As an additional part of the third rule, it is known, that as Dragon Slayers are already in possession of their signature magic, Dragon Soul won't give them another Dragon Slayer Magic. Because of this, it is known, that yes, Dragon Slayer is capable of increasing the overall power of their Magic through the synchronization with their Dramon Soul, but they are unable to have different elements by these means. For example, as Fire Dragon Slayer is in possession of Fire Dragon Soul, their dragon destroying aspects will fuse in one. From this, they will be able to utilize much hotter flames or will gain new, unusual flame powers, for example. Moreover, they are able to attain new, advanced forms, which are similar to the power-up states of previous generations of Dragon Slayers.

It is also obligatory, that Dragon Slayers, who possess Dragon Soul cannot achieve the form of Dragon Force because they are already in possession of it in a some way. Because of this, the state of Dragon Force is usually substituted with the transformation into a full Dragon, however keeping on surpassing the great and wild power, the user is able to replicate Dragon Force, with turning into a perfect hybrid of Dragon and, well, Dragon Slayer, becoming a small dragonesque being, with all compressed power, which becomes immense and totally enormous. Such perfect synchronization of Dragon Slayer and their full dragon form allows them to call upon the power, which easily rival the power of a real dragon, and even can surpass it because the user is indeed the Dragon-Destroying Magician.

 * Actually, the name "Dramon" is a reference to the Digimon franchise, where Dramon is a type of Digimon who possesses draconian features and can be counted as a dragon Digimon. Some of them were used as known forms of Dramon Soul, eventually.
