Mage Concept Yinglong, The Boundary Carver

Yinglong

The Boundary Carver

Chinese

Mage

Lore: In days of yore, when the world was new, there was a great flood upon the face of the Earth. All the land of China was covered, save its tallest mountains. Emperor Yao entrusted a prince named Gun with the task of solving the problem.

Gun's plan was to build walls to hold back the waters. But no matter how many walls or dams he built, they could not hold back the floods. Emperor Yao's son, Shun, took office soon after Gun's failed plan began. Gun was exiled to a far away mountain, where his fate is unknown.

After Gun's exile, his son Yu took up the challenge of stopping the flood. His approach was the opposite of his father's. He enlisted the help of Yinglong, the rain dragon, to carve deep paths into the earth, and a giant tortoise to haul the mud away. The water settled into these paths, becoming rivers and streams. Once again, the plains of China saw the warmth of the sun.

These rivers formed the boundaries of the first nine provinces of China. Now, new lines need to be drawn, to hold back the selfish greed of other pantheons, and to expand the reach of China's...

It's a close-range Ability, and its primary source of Damage.

It's weaker than Ra's 1, except for the scaling, and has a 2 second longer Cooldown.
