Traits

A mutation in which a specific item (within reason) has been incased within one or more of an Arkaine's crystals.
Crystal Casing usually happens in an Arkaine's horns, but also can happen in other larger-areas of crystal. 

These items are specific and unique to an Arkaine - meaning if a player chooses a 'dandelion' to be their Crystal Casing item, they will be the only Arkaine allowed to use that item in their crystal casing.
Crystal Casing interiors will always be unique to each Arkaine, meaning there will never be any duplicates.

Crystal Casing Taken-Item List:

• Dandelion
• Frosted Winter Rose
•  

Base Breeds (Standard, Royal, Pointe, Glacial) only.

Those who have the Blooming Bloodline have a strong, intimate connection with flora.

Their special magical abilities allow them to feel the lifeforce within all flora, enabling them to know whether or not the plant is healthy. Those who possess this ability can 'heal' plants, giving a small amount of their magic to jumpstart growth within a seedling, or a grown plant. They can bring dead plants back to life if they are skilled enough, but are unable to cause massive overgrowth.

Like an Arkaine's crystals grow naturally from their body, a Blooming Bloodline Arkaine has growths of flora.
These flora growths are natural, and ever-growing so long the Arkaine is healthy. 

These natural flora growths are specific and unique to an Arkaine - meaning if a player chooses a 'dandelion' to be their chosen flora, they will be the only Arkaine allowed to use that flora for their Blooming Bloodline.
Blooming Bloodline flora will always be unique to each Arkaine, meaning there will never be any duplicates (UNLESS permission has been given, and the Arkaines are blood-related or story-tied).

The type of flora a Blooming Bloodline can grow includes: deciduous trees, shrubs, flowers, fruits, herbs, vines, and aquatic plants
They cannot grow: coniferous trees (see Heartwood Bloodline), or spore-bearing flora, including ferns, liverworts/hornworts, mosses, algae, and mushrooms

Those who have the Heartwood Bloodline have a strong, intimate connection with trees.
They do not have nearly as expansive of flora-healing abilities as the Blooming Bloodline does, but they do have unique features and abilities. 

This bloodline grants a deep connection to nature and plant life. Heartwood Arkaines can encourage rapid plant growth in trees & saplings. They also have the innate ability to communicate with ancient trees, but they can only listen to the 'whispers' in the leaves - they cannot have a conversation of sorts. The Heartwood Bloodline also has the impressive defensive ability to temporarily transform parts of their body into wood or bark.

Like an Arkaine's crystals grow naturally from their body, a Heartwood Bloodline Arkaine has growths of wood.
Depending on the type of wood, sometimes it will sprout branches, and grow leaves or cones/needles. 
These wooden growths are natural, and ever-growing so long the Arkaine is healthy.

These natural wooden growths are specific and unique to an Arkaine - meaning if a player chooses an 'aspen' to be their chosen tree, they will be the only Arkaine allowed to use that tree for their Heartwood Bloodline.
Heartwood Bloodline wood/trees will always be unique to each Arkaine, meaning there will never be any duplicates (UNLESS permission has been given, and the Arkaines are blood-related or story-tied).

Heartwood Natural Growths Can Be...: deciduous trees & coniferous trees
Heartwood Natural Growths Cannot Be...: shrubs, flowers, berries, fruits, herbs, vines, and aquatic plants | spore-bearing flora, including ferns, liverworts/hornworts, mosses, algae, and mushrooms

Base Breeds (Standard, Royal, Pointe, Glacial) only.

Those with the Mycelial Weave Bloodline possess a profound, intimate connection with fungi and the hidden, interconnected networks beneath the earth.

Their unique magical abilities allow them to feel the life force within all fungi, discerning their health, growth patterns, and even subtle shifts in their environment. Those with this gift can "mend" fungal colonies, offering a small surge of their own magic to stimulate spore germination or accelerate the growth of existing mycelium. Highly skilled individuals can even coax dormant or decaying fungal structures back to vibrant life, though they cannot induce rampant, uncontrolled overgrowth.

Like an Arkaine's crystals grow naturally from their body, a Mycelial Weave Arkaine naturally develops fungal growths from their body. These growths are a living part of them, constantly evolving and unique.
These flora growths are natural, and ever-growing so long as the Arkaine is healthy.

These natural spore-producing growths are specific and unique to an Arkaine - meaning if a player chooses a 'scarlet bonnet' to be their chosen spore-producing flora, they will be the only Arkaine allowed to use that spore-producing flora for their Mycelial Weave Bloodline.
Mycelial Weave Bloodline spore-producing flora will always be unique to each Arkaine, meaning there will never be any duplicates (UNLESS permission has been given, and the Arkaines are blood-related or story-tied).

Mycelial Weave Natural Growths Can Be...: spore-bearing flora, including ferns, liverworts/hornworts, mosses, algae, and mushrooms
Mycelial Weave Natural Growths Cannot Be...: shrubs, flowers, berries, fruits, herbs, vines, and aquatic plants | deciduous trees & coniferous trees
