History

Spoiler for History:

As a teacher teaching at the prestigious Saint Hilde Academy of Magic, Luka Zelpher is fully capable and extremely qualified for teaching any level of the sorcery classes available. Graduating at a young age from this very school, Luka left with mastery in various subjects although she specializes in magical theory, spell creation and modification, device creation and mage biology. After her graduation, she went on to join the TSAB for a very short period of time before quitting and joining various private research labs in the various administrated worlds. However, she never stayed for long and eventually returned to her alma mater as a teacher, much to every one's surprise.

With her credentials, one would think she will be teaching the higher level sorcery classes but Luka prefers to teach the elementary and intermediate classes only. The main reason is because she likes kids and they tend to give her great ideas for personal research due to their active imaginations. Another less well known reason is that she is rather tired of her students in the higher level classes crushing on her.

Although she wears a ring on her left hand, no one can be certain on her marital status since she's still using her maiden name. Also the ring greatly resembles the rings on one of her belts which further muddies her marital status. Even when asked directly, with a wink and a smile, she comments that "Its a secret."

Personality

Spoiler for Personality:

While she tend to act rather immature at times, she can be serious when she has to. Most of the time however, she's a happy-go-lucky type person and loves to tease people. As a teacher, she is very kind and helpful to her students, always taking time to answer any of their doubts, on school work or otherwise. Students can always approach her for help and she will drop anything she is working on just to help them. The only exception is when she is already helping another student which in that case, she'll help the second student later.

As a person, she is rather hardworking, constantly doing personal research or practicing her abilities on the school's practice grounds. Interestingly, she has not ever consented to spar with anyone, student or otherwise. When pressed about it, she cheerful admits that she is pathetic in the combat arts and she's so bad, even a beginner who just started learning strike arts can easily defeat her. Most people think its a blatant lie considering her mage rank but that's the story she's maintaining.

Device

Spoiler for Device:

Luka, like most mages, owns a device which has the registered name of Arbiter. Hand built by Luka herself, it is an interesting device as it does not conform to any standard device type. When asked about her device, Luka just smiles and point to the pair of glasses she is wearing and laughs at the dumbfounded look on the person's face. Most people automatically assume that the glasses are the unactivated form and Luka is very greatly amused when they find out that the glasses are the activated form.

Arbiter is created to support Luka's abilities and as such, it is designed to complement a spell that allows Luka to 'see' programing that make up spells. This makes it extremely useful for Luka as it allows her to easily debug the spells casted by her students. Also, instead of communicating with Luka out loud like normal devices, it broadcasts its messages to her via a method which mimics mage telepathy. However, this method consumes more power than standard devices and has a very short range of 2 inches.

Most people believe that is the extant of Arbiter's capabilities. What most people don't know is that the glasses portion of Arbiter is only half the device. The other half is a set of ring shaped remotes which she usually wear on her waist as a second belt. These remotes when deployed, can act like relays, allowing her to cast spells as if she is physically casting from that location, effectively extending the range of all her spells.

Barrier Jacket

Spoiler for Barrier Jacket:

On the surface, it seems that Luka's Barrier Jacket consists of only adding a long, black trench coat over her usual clothing and some additional jewelry. However, under her normal clothes, her under garments and stockings have been changed to a full, skin tight bodysuit, designed for smooth movement.

Magic Style

Spoiler for Magic Style:

Luka practices the Mid Childian magic style but she also knows how to teach Neo Belkan style as it is a style quickly gaining in popularity. However, when she is exercising, she is usually seen lifting and moving a pot with her magic alone, which doesn't really correspond to either common exercises of Mid Childian or Neo Belkan styles at all. Only once was she seen practicing an offensive spell. The resultant huge pink afro that resulted due to an error in casting immediately convinced her never to practice any offensive spells in public again.

Abilities

Spoiler for Abilities:

Offensive

Spoiler for Offensive:

[Shattered Lightning] - A lighting type spell that continuously shoots streams of electricity at a target as long as the mage is channeling lightning elemental mana to the spell. Requires the mage to convert mana into lightning elemental mana before the spell can be used. Currently used to practice elemental mana conversion and self defense although the latter usage is rather impractical due to the spell's requirements.

Defensive

Spoiler for Defensive:

[Protector] - A standard shield spell used by many mages that guards in one direction.

[Round Protector] - A standard, 360 degrees, barrier that protects in all directions.

Support

Spoiler for Support:

[Hollow World] - A data collection type spell. Coupled with Arbiter, this effectively allows Luka to look at spells as well as spell effect residue and determine the programming that makes up the spell. This puts Luka in a favorable position where she can easily debug and solve errors in her student's spell casting, making her the number one teacher to turn to for help in spell creation/modification.

[Vision Flash] - A simple spell that allows Luka view the world from the position of her remotes.

[Aid] - A simple healing spell that is used for healing minor injuries.

[Ephemeral Dreams] - The most advance spell in Luka's repertoire. Developed as part of her mastery thesis, this spell is an extremely modified levitation spell where the effects mimics telekinesis. However, it is still a spell effect and not true telekinesis and its efficiency still leaves a lot to be desired. In her own words, Luka admits that although it works faster, doing the equivalent action physically is a lot less tiring.

[Ghostly Shadows] - This greatly increases the casting time of Luka's other spells but has the advantage of completely masking the Mid Childian sigil (Technically it will also mask the Belkan sigil but it is untested)
