Magic Academy Awilix + concept art (My take on the witch skin concept)
Hello again! Now, I'm definitely not the first to suggest a Witch concept for Awilix, but here's my take on it! This is inspired by the animation Little Witch Academia. It is rather ambitious, with many animation/effect changes. This is NOT meant to be a "magical girl" trope like Sailor Moon. Definitely went overboard on this one; beware the wall of text!
- Concept Art
- Splash Art
- Misc Art
In this concept, Awilix is an apprentice witch studying at a Witch Academy. She is still learning, so she is a bit clumsy, especially when it comes to flying. However, she is very cheerful, and is determined to be the greatest witch ever.
Tier: T4
Type: Since she already has a T4, and due to large animation/effect changes I'd put this as a exclusive/limited; probably Halloween.
VGS: Original voice actress with different lines and no added voice effect would be peachy keen. Other voice options include a Japanese or Korean accent.
Model: Her face model and skin colour should stay the same as the original. Her hair is coloured reddish brown, and is let down, but keeps the two "rings".
Effects: Small glow/sparkles from the gems on her staff and wand. Light from the grimoire.
VGS References: Preferably just from Little Witch Academia and maybe Touhou. General magic references are fine, not too cheesy though.
Here's a rundown!
ANIMATIONS
- During combat, she wields her broomstaff in one hand, and her grimoire in the other.
- When idle/not in combat, Awilix studies her grimoire. As long as she is not in combat, she will continue to read, even while walking/running/jumping.
- When stabbing with her broomstaff, there are small bursts of magic with every attack. When attacking with her wand, the magic travels farther to match the broomstaff's range. The basic attack animations for the wand are different, and usually include spinning it in her hand.
- When casting Moonlight Charge, and for the duration of the Gravity Surge buff, her grimoire will float open beside her, light glowing from the pages.
ABILITIES
Suku
- Suku is a normal sized black cat. She acts just like Chang'e's Jade Rabbit, meaning she will follow Awilix around independently.
Mount Suku
- Instead of Suku, her staff turns into a broom and she mounts it. Suku also jumps on, riding in front of her on the handle.
- Awilix is a tad unsteady when flying the broom, and when activating Leap, she loses control, panics , and crashes onto the targeted area.
Featherstep
Awilix flips over her target, brandishing her wand and pointing it at their head she passes over in an attempt to hex them. There is a spark of magic from her wand hitting her target as she flips.
Moonlight Charge
Suku quickly moves to the front of Awilix. Using her wand, Awilix quickly casts a growth charm on Suku, who grows to the regular panther size while charging. Reaching the end of the charge, Suku shrinks back to normal and runs back to Awilix.
Gravity Surge
- Awilix channels her magic through her grimoire, and switches to her wand until the attack speed buff has faded. There is a magic, glowing runic circle under her for the duration.
- In the case of a knocked up enemy, Awilix pulls them towards her with a beam of light from her wand, and there is a blast of magic from her wand when they reach her.
- The markings on her glow slightly for the duration of the buff.

Reviews for "Breaking Barriers: How a Reliable GM Shattered Expectations for the Orlando Magic"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars:
I had a terrible experience with Reliable GM Orlando Magic. First of all, their customer service was abysmal. Whenever I called with a question or concern, I was put on hold for long periods of time and sometimes even hung up on. It was incredibly frustrating. Moreover, the car I purchased from them turned out to have several issues that they failed to disclose. I ended up spending a lot of money on repairs shortly after buying the car. I would not recommend Reliable GM Orlando Magic to anyone.
2. Mark - 1 star:
Reliable GM Orlando Magic is anything but reliable. The salesperson I dealt with was pushy and did not listen to my needs. They only seemed interested in making a quick sale. Additionally, the car I bought from them had multiple mechanical problems within the first few months. I had to constantly take it back to the dealership for repairs, which was a huge inconvenience. Their lack of care and attention to detail really disappointed me. I would advise others to steer clear of Reliable GM Orlando Magic.
3. Amanda - 2 stars:
I had a really disappointing experience with Reliable GM Orlando Magic. The sales team was not knowledgeable about the vehicles they were selling. I had specific questions about the features of a particular car, and they couldn't provide me with accurate information. They seemed more interested in closing the deal rather than ensuring customer satisfaction. Moreover, the finance department was slow and inefficient. The whole process took much longer than it should have. Overall, I was not impressed with Reliable GM Orlando Magic.
