Character Name: Kain Highwind
Alignment: Fourth God
Offering Description: Joining!
Link: Here! He also had some other talks with Lucius prior to lead up to this, but this’ll be the one he actually joins in.
Reward Tier: Tier One
Reward Description: The room: he’s not likely to spend a whole lot of time there, but he’ll like having the option sometimes. Also definitely yes to the death counter and the resurrection thing.

I’m not taking any body modifications for him at the moment.

For the minor spell, I’d like to go with Weatherproofing. As a werebear, he's very in tune with the weather, now his outer layer will be too! Essentially, Kain’s fur and feathers protect him against the elements, repelling precipitation and helping him withstand a somewhat higher/lower temperature range than average. The ability doesn’t work as well in day form (he’s still got a bit of fur as seen here, but there’s a lot less covering him than when he's more bear-like)... he could wrap his wings around himself in daytime for a little bit of protection but that's not as helpful as actually being covered in all of that fur.

Backfire (for abilities characters wouldn't ask for ICly): Obviously there need to be limits on the power, so the more extreme the weather or the longer that he uses it for, the more the power will weaken him. So if he uses it while he stays out in the cold/heat for a day, or gets lost in a blizzard even for a brief time, he’ll end up extremely weakened as a result. He might even find the opposite problem happening, as a bit of backfire... extreme cold or long duration in the cold may overheat him (or vice versa) or a long time in the rain will uncomfortably dry him out, as his power goes into orderdrive trying to counter the weather's effects.

Also, a dunk in water will still drench him like normal! Similarly, unnatural sources of heat/cold would still affect him too (say he was locked in a freezer or boiler or something, or someone cast an elemental-based spell on him). The protection only works against weather, it’s very specific.
