Amber Maria - A method of maintaining youkai longer
#1
Sorry for making a second one for the same character so soon, but I figured it was different enough that I should likely make it a different one.

Applicable BYOND Key - SoulOfLuna
Character Name - Amber Maria
Request Type - Character Ability (Creation of a tool to keep youkai summoned for a prolonged period)

Request Details - This request is for my character, Amber Maria, whether by herself or with the aid of other people, to find a way to make a "summoning field", either via use of a specific tool or as an ability, whatever is more acceptable. The field would allow a youkai to stay summoned with no strain on the summoner (or reduced strain, if no strain at all isn't acceptable) as long as they stay within range. It would (most likely) be limited based on the strength that a youkai is summoned at, the number of youkai that needs to be sustained, and the amount of time they are summoned (I am willing to work out more specific amounts over DMs if necessary). The field would have to be maintained with a spatial core, mana crystal, or other similar object, by drawing on focus from the environment, or any combination of the prior. It likely couldn't be relocated, merely created at a chosen location.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - My character has made use of youkai for a long period of time now, along with a couple of others she is familiar with. On numerous occasions, she has required to call on her youkai for various activities for a prolonged period of time, with the constant strain likely getting pretty difficult to deal with whenever more than perhaps 2 youkai are needed for a longer period of time. In addition, due to a rather dangerous lifestyle, she has reasons to ensure that it's easier for her to both maintain a positive relationship with her youkai as well as have an advantage on the off chance someone chose to attack her home. As such, she would likely look into the possibility of creating something along these lines, assuming the rules of how summoning and youkai work don't interfere with it.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

Lore: Based on what's in the game already, it is possible for a youkai to be sustained without even being contracted to a summoner, let alone drawing on focus from one - spatial cores maintain multiple youkai, on occasions stronger than even the kinds players can use, at full power. In addition, the possibility of absorbing focus from a nearby area has been established through several skills in the game, along with mana crystals or similar things. From my understanding, youkai can obtain focus from areas aside from their summoner, and in this case, said summoner would still be close by, so the range limitation of youkai disappearing wouldn't be an issue either. The only uncertain part of this that I can see is if being contracted to a summoner changes a youkai's ability to be sustained by sources other than their contractor.

Roleplay: Amber has been making use of youkai for close to a decade ICly, if not longer, learning various details of how they work, as well as speaking to and sparring against numerous summoners now. As a result, she has a thorough understanding of what youkai are like, and due to her experience as a Spellthief, she has plenty of knowledge about focus and various kinds of magic, as well. Should that not be enough, she would be able to look to other people to talk about the possibility of working together on its' creation.

(No RP logs, apologies. Worst case scenario, I could try to ask people that met the character to help with filling in some of the gaps.)

Note: Should any of this be an issue, I'm more than willing to talk and/or adjust details regarding this request. Worries of it being abused would be perfectly understandable, but I'm not entirely sure how much is too much, so I'm willing to work out exactly how powerful this sort of thing is allowed to be, if it is at all approved.
