Magical Item
ECHO gloves
The Energy Channeling Hyper Occlusion gloves, or simply [ECHO gloves], are a set of leather gloves with the ambition of combining various AMP(Anti-matter principle)-based products and developing a device capable of warding magic. The R&;D failed in this endeavour. How Auric got his hands on a failed yet classified design, and more importantly, how he managed to get it to work is a question any sane person should avoid asking. The gloves themselves are of high quality leather, fingerless so as not to impede the wearer's dexterity and extra padding for the palm and knuckles.
Signature Ability
GIFTED (Intuition)
Auric is one of The Gifted, a special group of people blessed with great talents, potential, power and ability. Sometimes referred to as Gifted One. The abilities of The Gifted manifest in a multitude of different ways; one may be able to tell the future, another is immortal and another again may be capable of communicating with animals. Their unique abilities are inherently available to them through Instinct; a natural or innate impulse. There are, however, a few abilities inherently capable of all Gifted; first and foremost they are able to identify one another – not necessarily knowing what their power may be, but knowing that they are in some way much like themselves. They have large potential for large amounts of raw power (some are even driven insane by it) and can even communicate with one another mentally, even from beyond the grave. Finally, they are able to pass on their unique ability to other Gifted, although it may take a while for them to master). They are so rare that even in Auric's travels of both Gran Pulse and Cocoon, he has only met only one other than himself.
In Auric, his Instinct manifests in pure Intuition (with Power being a latent manifestation which he will take great pains to hide). Capable of seeing things in a completely different light, inherently understanding of things that most would never be able to comprehend in their entire life, there is much reason why his abilities, were they to be known, would be feared. Furthermore, he has been tempered and forged in the fires of Gran Pulse, where every day is a relentless struggle for survival, where one single misstep can easily spell the end. In this land -- his people thrive and he is no different. In combat, Auric will read into the slightest of movements as if it were a pattern. The smallest shift in weight, to the tiniest change in grip, the tensing in muscle to the contrast of social cues, he evades oncoming blows by a hairline and countering his opponent, often returning a critical strike.
Auric's Instinct of intuition enables him to understand a great deal many things but in battle, it aids him in understanding a person at their most basic level.
Intuition is like Guard, it is a mode he may either enter or exit. When activated, Auric is immune from regular [Attack] commands, and any Physical Techniques are lowered by a damage tier but he is unable to use any other Techniques or Magic aside from those of items, Signature Abilities and Physical Techniques without first exiting it (doing so automatically disengages Intuition).
Magical attacks are unaffected (as are Ruin and Ruinga).

Ruby Effect
Using the ECHO gloves enables the wearer to redirect or reflect any magic towards a different target, be it ally, enemy or environment. The new target is hit with the exact same strength as if the original caster had launched it against them instead, afflicting them with the same damage and passive abilities that would normally apply.
[Usable only by Gifted]

Sub-Ability
Lennart
"Damn. And I was really starting to get used to the scenery..."
"Lennart" was the name of a mysterious wanderer, one of the Gifted. His inherent ability was immortality; due to his own reasons, he chose to live a life of solitude. Of all the Gifted, he seemed to be the most familiar with his Instincts, and was the one who imparted on Auric the ability to draw out his latent power. First and foremost, what Auric learned enabled him to draw out all of what he is it in its purest, unbound expression; then give it direction; often without warning.
Lennart does Severe, Non-Elemental damage and takes the form of a large blindingly white beam, doing both Magical and Physical damage. Furthermore all applicable passive abilities do NOT apply for both Auric and the target(s). The beam has a maximum radius in feet equal to his level (which can be made smaller as he required).
[Cooldown: 4][Active][Physical/Magical]
