Quirks
Animus
► Show Spoiler
Apprentice - Empathic Bond - Norani is able to meditate and through the careful application of her knowledge of both the animals she studies and the utilization of her Animus rune, she forms an empathic bond with said animal. By means of this bond, she is able to establish a magical link with these animals and as a result incorporate their shape into the tapestry of her Animus rune as a living, breathing totem. The Empathic Bond, once made, becomes a passive thing through which she gains a general awareness of the animal's emotional state and likewise, the animal is able to gauge her emotional state as well. In the event that the animal is killed, the Empathic Bond is broken and her access to that specific animal's shape is lost. To regain the use of that shape, she will be forced to establish another Empathic Bond with another animal of its type. Additionally, Norani is able to Dissociate from the Empathic Bond as with any other totem.

Journeyman - Anima Ferus - Through Norani's Rune of Summoning and her Empathic Bonding, Norani has unlocked the Wild Spirits Sphere of Summoning as an Animus Family. The caveat to this is that she can only take these forms through her Empathic Bond and not through traditional totemic means.
Expert - Blank
Master 1 - Spirit Guardians - Through the mingling of Norani's Rune of Animus and Rune of Summoning, her Empathically Bonded partners are always present with her, even when they are not. All of her Empathically Bonded partners are present with her in a spirit form, even while their physical self is elsewhere. If Norani is currently in the form of one of these Empathically Bonded partners, then its spirit is not with her, but rather is existing where the Empathically Bonded partner came from. When she shifts out of that form, the spirit and the living form swap back.
Master 2 - Spiritual Healing - Norani has discovered how to keep the injuries she acquires isolated to an Empathically Bonded form that acquired them. Any Empathically Bonded form that is injured can have its Spirit Guardian sent to the Wild Spirits Sphere to heal, taking its injuries with it. Norani is able to recall the Spirit Guardian at any time, regardless of the state of healing it is in. While in the Wild Spirits Sphere, it will heal that form faster than typical biological healing, and can heal wounds that typical biological healing cannot do without the aid of medicine or magical means.
Elementalism
► Show Spoiler
Apprentice - Balance In All Things
Norani has the intuitive ability to sense when and where the primary elements are out of alignment. When this occurs, Norani gains the power to naturally attune herself to the element most necessary to bring the wild forces around her back into alignment. At the apprentice level, this simply means that she is able to coax more of the naturally existing element into working more cooperatively with her. Upon gaining the power of the Arche Element however, she possesses the unique ability to step into companionship with the primary element most needed to bring the forces around her back into their proper balance. In the case of a raging inferno that is wildly out of control, where Fire swells and burns without form or purposes, Norani will find that Water steps up to assist her in bringing things into balance. Where winds howl and scream out in disharmony, Earth will offer her its stalwart presence in order to calm them.
Norani becomes a living conduit for the Elements, being able to sense what it is that they need most in order to bring them back into balance.

Journeyman - Animus Attunement - If Norani takes on an Animus Form that has an elemental alignment attached to it (such as those found in South Ecith), she will gain a temporary Arche of that element, in addition to her normal Arche. When she leaves this form, that Arche disappears.
► Show Spoiler
Expert - Blank
Master 1 - Empathic Guarding - Norani's Empathically Bonded partners will find naturally existing Elemental Spirits regularly coming to their aid and even protecting them from danger when able, even if the Empathically Bonded partner is not with Norani.
Master 2 - Arche Catabolism - Norani is able to apply her Arche element to whatever Animus form she's in through the Animus ability Catabolism. Once this has been applied, it is a passive effect that will remain with that form from that point onward, regardless of if she's actively using it. She can dismiss this effect at any time.
Summoning (finishing initiation here, Pending review by Paragon:
https://www.legendofransera.com/viewtopic.php?t=3198 )
Apprentice - Empathic Summoning - Norani has found that she is able to summon the living beings and spirits that she has formed an Empathic Bond with through her Rune of Animus. She can apply, or not, the facets of Summoning to these Empathically Bonded partners of hers.
Journeyman - Guardian Bond - Norani's Spirit Guardians can be sent to any of her Empathically Bonded partners in an instant and recalled just the same.

My only feedback is the following:
Animus and the Empathic Bond by themselves are not enough to confer Flora type transformations. Access to such a sphere of influence is beyond the power of Animus because it is not inherent to it on a fundamental level.
However, Norani can gain access to such transformations via attunement to the Element of Wood via her Elementalism rune. By combining a Wood Attunement via her Empathic Bond, this is entirely feasible.
My recommendation is to gain access to the Wood element, use a Quirk slot (whether an Animus or Elementalism slot is up to you) and then incorporate this idea.

I have adjusted the Expert quirks for Elementalism and Animus to reflect Norani’s pursuit through plots toward Lightning Arche and Wood Element. As such, I’m leaving those slots blank for now and wish to have the remainder of quirks reviewed. Thanks!
