Ostanes Extremely effective at exchanging information and getting his ideas to be understood clearly. Providing a bonus to the speed of the learning, regardless how how thick headed his pupils are. Allows for dialogue to take place with people under the effect of Mental Pollution or Mad Enhancement of the same rank, however success of mutual understanding is not assured.
|
| Skill 03 | Magecraft: A++ Rank | Knowledge about modern Thaumaturgy.
At his rank, Ostanes is capable of replicating and using Thaumaturgical systems that are unique to individuals or that require special traits without necessarily possessing the requirements. Due to being a point from which Thaumaturgy evolved from. |

Creation of a "Temple", which is superior to a "Workshop", becomes possible. |
Noble Phantasm  | Barmigardam: No Lesson will end Prematurely | | Rank: B | | Type: Self | Barmigardam is perhaps Ostanes more infamous spell. It was a spell that while he was living, allowed him to remain "alive" or rather allowed his Being to persist while he had already technically passed away, his soul faded and his body ceased living. It famously allowed him to return to the world as a "spirit" and finish his last lecture.
As a Servant, the nature of Barmigardam has changed slightly due to him being a Spiritual Being already. This Noble Phantasm could be considered as a Resurrection type Noble Phantasm, that for as long as Ostanes has a contract with a Master or an Anchor to the world will allow him reform no matter how he is slain, even when his spiritual core is destroyed. The Spell does not make so Ostanes recovers or regenerates but he is simply re-summoned into the world.
The spell preserves his beings and brings it back to the world. Of course, him returning to the world is treated as a summoning again so for a Provisional Master it could be potentially lethal as they would receive no backup to pay for the summoning, fortunately the more that remains of Ostanes previous body the easier it is to handle his re-apparition. This also means that for as long as the Chaldea System exists, even if he is not revived in the pocket planes, he will merely return to Chaldea for as long as his contract and anchor there is maintained. |

Ostanes was born in the 6th BC century and perished nearing the beginning of the 2nd century BC.
Character Details 2 - The Archmagus Though his name has been recorded as a title between a line of Magi, Ostanes is in fact one Magus who traced his ancestry to Zoroaster himself. An Archmagus and High Priest of the Zoroastrian faith but at heart an academical man.
Seen on the West as the "first" Magus and the man who introduced the way of the Magi to the Greek world and through it the rest of Europe. The man who inspired the frenzy for reaching the Root.
While most of his works were lost throughout the ages following his death. The influence of Ostanes was clearly felt, he left a not so obvious mark on mankind and on some of humanities greatest minds. Hardly a stepping stone but more like a gentle breeze that guided humanity to its current present. Character Details 3 - Quest for Knowledge Ostanes first great achievement was amassing the knowledge of 7 civilizations. Through a spiritual experience and a magical ritual, Ostanes reached a realm with 7 gates guarded by a fearsome monster that held the keys for the stone gates. Rather than challenging it for the key, Ostanes negotiated with it and behind each door he found the core of a great civilization.
He carved the knowledge and culture, magical theories and before it was considered scientifical the knowledge of the common man. He wrote down their history and achievements in 7 tablets, one from the ancient Babilonians, Egiptians, Indians, Chinese, Norse, Greek and Mayan.
This achievement allowed him to retrieve the Wisdom of Hermes, finding a viable path to Akasha. When he retired from this pursuit, Ostanes earned his frenzy to let others see what he had witness, starting his path as a teacher and the Magus who would propagate the path of the Magi. Character Details 4 - The Court Sage Ostanes eventually ended up as a court mage, several hundreds year later he served as an adviser to King Xerxes I of Persia and accompanied him on his failed invasion of Greece. He remained in Greece after his liege was defeated and there became a mentor for such minds such as Pythagoras, Empedocles, Democritus, and Plato in various subjects, he would often also debate with Aristoteles as well as becoming the guide for aspiring Magus.
Ostanes eventually served King Darius and when Alexander the Great conquered Persia became one of his followers, chasing after the King trying to preserve knowledge that would otherwise be lost as well as wishing to follow the dream Iskandar himself had.
He died while giving a lesson. But as one who did not want to leave things unfinished, came back briefly as a ghost to conclude his final lesson. It is said that his last words were "I'm going to the Root now!"
His record within the Throne of Heroes is unaware if he was successful as he had already died when he started his journey to reach the Root.
Naturally as Servant of Chaldea he works his earnest to preserve Humanity or rather look out for his pupils. Character Details 5 - Magecraft & Knowledge Ostanes specifically is a practitioner of the following thaumaturgical schools; Alchemy, Necromancy, Divinination, Rune Magic, Elemental Magecraft, Baptism magecraft, Familiar Creation and Druidic and Spiritual Invocation.
He is also an authority to astrology, medicine, literature, physics, mathematics, architecture, zoology, chemistry and history. |
