Knight Title: Maragheh, Page of Mercury
Uniform: Knights all have a different theme depending on what Planet/Celestial Body they represent. Check the Knight Information Thread to get an idea of what designs would be appropriate to best represent your Knight's planet! Each Planet has a specific color palette so make sure you are drawing from that when designing your Knight! The outfit might have a few accent colors that stray from the palette, but the majority of the colors should match it. Metallic colors are allowed for
all Knights regardless of color scheme, but the uniform must feature predominantly palette colors! Dark colors should not dominate the uniform so even if the color palette is naturally dark, please keep this in mind! You can incorporate white or gray into your design in moderation, Your Knight should have their planetary symbol presented as a major motif in their outfit, so please consider where these symbols might best appear on their uniform! These things, and more information about uniform guidelines, can be found in the Knight Information Thread and the Custom Procedures Thread! Links to these threads can be found below in the ‘Tips’ below the form!
Reference pictures may be used in place of descriptions, but please be prepared to give extra detail if your artist requires it!

Weapon & MagicKnights fight with a magical artifact that they can channel magic through once they reach their second stage. This artifact is called a ‘weapon’, though it cannot be bladed or lethal, cannot be anything that could not be reasonably held, and must be a single item. They cannot be a pair of items (such as a pair of gloves) ; magic can only be channeled through one item. As they grow in power, their weapon will grow, and their magic will as well. Knight weapons will have three forms and should always be timeless. These are ancient antiques that have been passed down through each incarnation. At second stage, a weapon can have magic themed on the planetary powers of the world their Wonder is located on. Tips about writing magic can be found below the form!
Page Weapon: This should be a broken or weak object, or a toy or accessory. A Page Weapon might be a necklace, a broken hilt, or a basic item themed on the planet the Knight serves. A Neptune Knight, who has a power theme of ‘music’, might have an old musical instrument, such as a wooden flute. You have no magic at this stage.

Squire: At this stage the weapon grows into something more useful. It can do damage but it should not be immensely powerful or lethal. From the examples above, a Squire Weapon might evolve into a heavy chain, a dull ceremonial sword, and a pretty flute.You gain access to your magic pool at this stage. Magic is channeled from a pool of energy and can be turned on and off at will. Magic must reflect the power themes of the world the Knight serves. The casting time for Squire magic pool is typically between 30-45 seconds at this stage depending on effects; offensive and debilitating magic will generally have a smaller magic pool, but healing magic, shields, and illusion magic usually have a larger magic pool. Most magic will typically have a range of about ten to fifteen feet at this stage but this may vary depending on effects.

Knight Weapon: At this stage the weapon grows into its final, most useful stage. It can do damage but it should not be immensely powerful or lethal. The weapon can become more ornate, or capable of doing more damage. From the examples above, a Knight Weapon might evolve into a heavy chain with a lantern at the end, a dull, but extravagant ceremonial sword, and an ornate flute.Your magic may become more powerful at this stage, and you gain a longer channeling time. Magic is channeled from a pool of energy and can be turned on and off at will. Magic must reflect the power themes of the world the Knight serves. The casting time for a Knight’s magic pool is typically between 45-60 seconds at this stage depending on effects; offensive and debilitating magic will generally have a smaller magic pool, but healing magic, shields, and illusion magic usually have a larger magic pool. Most magic will typically have a range of about fifteen to twenty feet at this stage but this may vary depending on effects.
