Appearance:

A young man of an average height and a thin, albeit lean and chiseled body, shaped by rigorous training. His pale complexion is contrasted by his medium-long, dark hair and dark brown eyes. He wears a sleeveless, hooded tunic over his long-sleeved linen shirt, held in place by a leather belt, which also holds a small, soft leather pouch by his hip. He also wears a pair of linen pants, over which high leather shoes are worn as well. His clothing is coloured white with blue trims.

Magic: (work in progress)

Rugal, having built on theory derived from a number of books dedicated to spellcasting, attempted to take his own, original approach to the art. Taking advantage of the fact that the menial tasks he used to perform had strengthened and conditioned his body, he went on to expand upon his physical prowess, making his body a more and more capable vessel for the magical energy. He was quick to learn channeling raw mana - in his hands, a rather weak element with no particular strengths, but fairly easy to channel - in form of projectiles or using it to alter his physical strength to a degree. Not too long after, his encounters with more knowledgeable figures encouraged him to develop new uses for his magical reserves. So far, he is capable of following:

Energy Blast:

Rugal's primary offensive spell, which mostly serves as an extension of his strong punches, and therefore it can be readily cast. It is manifesting as a glowing orb of bluish energy speeding towards the apprentice's target. Most of the time, the orb explodes in a burst of energy upon contact, with a strength of a punch. However, the orbs' energy fades rather quickly over distance. Rugal can also spend time and resources to charge his orb into a stronger one - however, the energy stored within is unlikely to turn out lethal.

Speed Augumentation:

A recently developed spell, which allows Rugal to channel his energy reserves to course through some of his muscles, greatly enhancing his speed and agility.

Disenchantment:

Attempts to wear off a magical effect cast on his target by breaking it into raw energy, which he could potentially convert into an energy blast of his own. At his current stage of learning, however, he is unlikely to succeed in disenchanting the effect if its caster is well focused on maintaining it.

Alter Strength:

The first enchantments Rugal learned to cast - so far, he has only been casting them on himself, either strengthening his body for an encounter to come, or weakening it for a more demanding training experience.

Detect Magic:

Allows Rugal to sense a magical aura around a person he focuses on. That's it so far, at least in his current stage of development.
