Maxwell Clan/Traits and Powers

Given their heritage, the Maxwell clan is gifted with various physical traits, and attributes. Even the most lowly of Maxwells tend to have power surpassing that of the average soldier, making them one of the most prominent and powerful clan in all of Chusei.

Life Force
The Maxwell are renown world-wide for their highly virile Life Force. This particularly strong gathering of essence carries over into every aspect of their being, making their reservoir of Mana far more potent than the norm, and thus making each clansmen proficient in all forms of magic casting in general. In addition to this, the clan is noted to have an indomitable will, allowing them to take lethal attacks in stride, often going on for the entire duration of battle carrying otherwise grievous wounds.

Mana Reservoirs
Another notable trait of their spirit is the amount of Mana that is typically produced. The average clansmen has enough energy to match the average of three men combined, making them highly effective for long-lasting competitions or battle. Most importantly, it grants assistance in the Maxwell's bread and butter, which just so happens to be extremely mana exhausting.

Tamer Magic
Perhaps the most fearsome ability of the Maxwell clan is their capacity for Tamer techniques. Naturally, they possess a high affinity to summon all form of spiritual entities. But given their progenitor's actions, the clan also has access to an exceptionally rare and unique set of spirits and techniques.

Celestial Spirit Summons
Due to the work of their ancestor, Claire Maxwell, the clan has a hereditary link to the Seikou Chikyuu - spirits of the nature. Most clansmen tend to have an inherent deposition to one particularly caste of spiritual familiars. However, in spite of this, from an early age, all children of the Maxwell clan are taken to the sacred Elemental Temple located at the center of their estate, and given the right form a pact with their respective Spirit King.

Other Ability
By default, the Maxwell clan also possesses the ability form direct contracts, allowing them to potentially gather power from their familiar's soul, in exchange for a bit of their life force. This skill is higher up, however, and members are rarely able to perform it.
