#sylphclass

1) Healing Doom

Particularly useful in a session with a time player who is either particularly bad at time travel or does a lot of it. The Sylph could assist in removing doomed timelines, ‘healing’ the doom that caused them thus preventing them from happening. Also, the Sylph of Doom would have at least some control over how doomed a person actually is. For example, if someone was doomed to die horrifically, perhaps the Sylph could use their powers so that they die less horridly, perhaps even in the highest levels of god tier they could prevent the doom entirely with their abilities.

2) Healing with Doom

At first this skill makes little sense, however it’s possible this skill would work in a similar way to the Bard of Dooms powers but always having a good outcome instead of the Bards risky nature. A session may have already become doomed, however if there was any chance of fixing the session the Sylph would find it and do whatever it took to heal it. This ability could also mean removing players who would cause doomed sessions, either by killing them or stopping them from doing the actions that lead to a doomed session.

3) Helping others cope with doom

Sometimes people are simply destined to die and it would be the Sylphs job to help the doomed people accept their fates and pass on easily. The Sylph would likely act as a sort of therapist (like many other Sylphs do) to the doomed, offering support and kind words to help them cope with their fate.

Works well with: Seer of Time, Knight of Life, Prince of Doom

Works poorly with: Bard of Life, Prince of Light

1) Mending wounds

The Sylph of Blood would be able to heal almost any wound that their allies or themselves had received. At lower levels it would likely take a lot out of them if the wound was severe, however once reaching god tier this ability would be effortless for them. It’s unlikely that the Sylph of Blood would be able to bring back the dead as a Sylph of Life may be able to do, unless perhaps they sacrificed themselves in some sort of blood ritual.

2) Healing bonds

This player would be adept at repairing broken and fractured relationships, whether they be romantic or otherwise. This would likely manifest itself by the Sylph being a good listener who gives excellent advice.

3) Healing with bonds

Sometimes all people need are friends and then everything starts to get better. The Sylph could become someone’s friend or introduce them to new people in order help someone who found it hard to make friends. This would also be useful for helping the quieter members of the group get out a bit more and socialise with the team.

The Sylph of Blood is the perfect support character for any team. Able to heal wounds and keep the group together. They would be particularly useful in a session where the group doesn’t get along very well and making them team work together would likely be a breaking point for the session.

Works well with: Rogue of Heart, Seer of Mind, Knight of Life

Works poorly with: Prince and Bard of Blood, Thief of Heart

1) Healing 

The combination of the Sylph class, who already excel at healing, and the aspect of life itself make for a very potent healer in a session. Even before reaching god tier a skilled Sylph could easily fix broken bones and heal serious wounds that either they themselves or others had been inflicted with. After ascending to god tier they would be capable of bringing back people from the brink of death, and perhaps even revive those who had passed away. However, if there are no remains to focus upon or if the patient has been dead for too long then it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to revive them.

 2) Therapy

A Sylph of Life could literally heal someone’s 'life' by acting as a sort of therapist for the team. If a team member needed help with personal problems or just needed someone to listen to them the Sylph would be good at giving advice and pushing them in the right direction, almost innately. 

 3) The will to live

If a team member suddenly becomes grief stricken for some reason and loses all desire to carry on, a Sylph of Life could renew their wish to live for the betterment of the session. 

There is little potential for this character to endanger the session on purpose. They might doom the session by failing to save someone in time or simply decide not to heal someone, but if Sburb chose this class for you then you're probably destined to excel at this class.

Works well with: Knight of Life, Rouge of Light, Seer of Doom

Works badly with: The Princes and Bards of Doom and Life.

As this is a canon title, I didn’t really want to do it too soon, but I had a message practically begging me for it so I thought I ought to otherwise I’d have felt bad xD

1) Heal space

Healing space could equate to a lot of things, but I believe the main one is that if something is missing or broken, then the Sylph would be able to fix or heal it. This sounds very vague, but I’ll keep trying. I think that it could be either simple or complex. Simply, it could be that something normal broke and she could fix or heal it easily. Alternatively, it could be that something has gone wrong in the fabric of space (Doctor Who-style) and she has the ability to sort it out. If there is some sort of void, possibly created by a Void player, she might be able to heal over that and restore it to how it was. These powers are all about fixing and healing things, so she would probably use this for good but if she could end up on the other side.

2) The Genesis Frog

Being the Sylph, if something went wrong and the Genesis Frog was in any way hurt or, for lack of a better word, broken, she would almost certainly be able to sort it out, unless she was a really crappy Sylph. I think that the Sylph would definitely be able to breed a healthy Genesis Frog, and would probably be one of the best at it.

Well this seems like a pretty sweet Title. I think a Sylph of Heart would be a very valuable player to have.

1) Broken Hearts

The most obvious job of the Sylph of Heart would be to heal and fix broken hearts. Had a person been dumped, denied a relationship, etc., she would probably be able to help heal their pain and help them get over the person they were rejected by. If not, then they should at least be able to numb the hurt caused by their brush-off. This should stop a person acting rashly because of their negative emotions, and possibly hurting others in their upset (cougheridancough). This would also work with general hurt feelings in general, I think. However, a person might have been hurt by a character that deserved retribution, and the Sylph could heal the person that should really have brought them down, by taking away all their passion and fight in the matter. That being said, this basically should be nothing but positive.

2) Emotions

I say this tentatively, but the Sylph may be able to heal a person’s emotions. If they have a tendency to react inappropriately to situations, say far too much or far too little, she might be able to ‘fix’ that, and cause them to react more appropriately. Whilst this might be positive, with people finding them more manageable and likeable, this probably wouldn’t be seen as a good thing by most of the changed person’s friends. After all, if you’re friends with an emotionless, grumpy bastard, then part of the reason you love them is that they’re an emotionless, grumpy bastard. This change with probably alienate and disgruntle their close friends.

3) Inspiration

If a person loses all their inspiration and motivation, then this is obviously a bad thing. They won’t try as hard; they’ll become apathetic and not do as well. The Sylph could help with this. She could heal a person’s inspiration, and help them to regain their motivation to do something. This will surely affect the group in a positive way, as their player will again be driven and thus will try harder to make this goal come to happen. If their goal is positive, it should affect the group positively. If their dream, however, is a negative one, it might end up hurting the group as a whole.

I thought this one might be easy. I was wrong. Sorry I have so little on this one. I might come back to this one at a later date.

1) Obfuscation The Sylph would be able to heal using a lack of knowledge, and also heal the lack of knowledge itself. Healing using obfuscation could mean removing a person's knowledge or memory to help them heal. If, for example, a person had terrible, traumatic memories, she would be able to void over that memory to help them heal and get over it. She could use this to either help people recover from painful or traumatic experiences, for their own good. She could also use this to do horrible things to people but not have them remember it, thus using it for their own gain and benefit.

2) Nothing

Should the Sylph choose to, she might just end up healing nothing and being of no use to her team. She may not heal something that needed to be healed, thus effecting the outcome of the entire session which could end up to be bad or good, depending. She probably, though, wouldn't know if it had the potential to help, so her healing nothing probably wouldn't be used positively. 

3) Secrets

I say this one tentatively. If we consider void to mean secrets, we could say that she could 'heal' a secret if somebody told by removing it entirely from the memory of the person she told. This ties in with the voiding over knowledge, however this would be less for the benefit of the person she's removing the memory of, and more for that of the person whose secret was being told.

I like the idea of a Sylph of Breath. It has some very interesting potential. That being said, it was a bitch to analyse.

1) Breath

Healing a person's breath could be used in simple terms: helping a person to breathe easier. If a person is having difficulty breathing for any reason - like an asthma or panic attack, or they've had the wind knocked out of them - the Sylph would be able to help them to breathe again. This would be an invaluable resource if you have an asthmatic player, and provided the Sylph liked them, they could be very helpful. This ability probably wouldn't be able to be used for evil purposes, unless the Sylph was helping a bad guy to breathe. This ability could be pushed further though, and for a person who is recently dead and has merely stopped breathing (as opposed to having a serious physical wound), she might be able to heal their breath, thus effectively bringing them back to life (although this might be a tad unrealistic).

2) Freedom

By healing a person's freedom, I essentially mean that, if somebody suffered the effect of some kind of mind control, the Sylph would probably be able to restore their mind to its original state, allowing them back their freedom. The only way I can think of that this could be used evilly would be if the mind-controlled person was a bad guy and the Sylph was letting them get away. However, this is much more likely to be used the other way around, with her releasing a teammate of hers from somebody else's control.

3) Movement 

By healing movement I mean that essentially, if a person were unable to move for whatever reason - exhaustion, etc. - the Sylph may be able to restore their movement to an extent. I'm not saying that they'd be able to make the disabled walk again (sorry, Tavros) by removing their paralysis, but if, say, a teammate couldn't walk because they were so tired, the Sylph would probably be able to get them going again. 

4) Spirit

Now, I probably don't mean spirit in the way you think I mean spirit. By spirit, I mean more the psyche, which is often seen as a combination of the mind and soul. By healing a person's spirit, she would probably be able to keep them spiritually as well as mentally stable. Should a person start to lose their faith or sense of being, the Sylph would keep them on the right track and help them to feel less lost.

This one seems simple at first, but once you delve further into it, there are plot twists and things you didn't notice first time around all over the place. I'm not certain about this.

1) Physical wounds

A Sylph healing using time would have fairly simple guidelines: speed up the healing of physical wounds. An injury would go through the normal stages of healing, just a lot quicker. This would be good for simple or non-fatal wounds, as the person suffering them would be over them quickly and ready to fight again. However, when it came to fatal wounds, the speeding up of the 'healing' process may lead the person with the injury to die quicker, as it would be too fast for the suitable precautions (bandaging, medication, etc.) to be taken. Also regarding the time-frame of healing, if somebody had the kind of injury that hurts more or is more disabling whilst it's healing than when it's new, they could freeze and completely paralyse the healing process. Personally I believe that, due to the healing nature of the Sylph, she could only use this for benign purposes, as if she paused it for malicious reasons that wouldn’t be healing at all. However, it could just be that she thinks it’s for the good of the person, whilst in fact it may not be.

2) Mental wounds

Similarly to above, a Sylph could speed up the healing of mental injuries, with a 'time heals all wounds' sort of mentality. They could speed up the grieving process, heartbreak or getting over conditions such as depression. However, by speeding it up and not providing proper support, these could drive a person further into their problem and may prompt them into hurting themselves. Depending on a person's mental strength, this process could make or break a person. As well as this, the Sylph could cause somebody's mental healing to stop, leaving them stuck in one state of mind. Depending on what this state of mind is, this has the potential to seriously help a team if the state of mind is something like anger at the death of a loved one, and they're looking for revenge against whoever did it - the main bad guy of the session. Similarly to with physical injuries, I believe that the Sylph would only be able to suspend it if they really believed it was for the good of the team.

3) Healing timelines

The Sylph would probably be able to heal a doomed timeline, should she know it was doomed. She might be able to tweak things that happened or will happen to make sure that their timeline wouldn't fail.
