"It's been so long, I nearly forgot to how to do this."
Hunter talks to himself, his guns already summoned and placed on the table in front of him. So far, he hadn't had to deal with the same sort of massacres he'd become accustomed to, and as a result, he'd never really thought about the way he'd dealt with multiple foes at once. He was as durable as the next creature, but when getting swarmed, it was better to make sure any stragglers were finished off, directly or indirectly, and if it made him feel better in the process? So much the better.
The clips for his guns slide out, and Hunter closes his eyes, channeling dark energy into them. Then, he cuts his palm, letting the blood flow across every inch of the magazine, before bringing his hands together in a soft chant.
He pushes the magazines back in, lifts his guns, then inspects them.
"Ah. Perfect. That brings back memories..."
-----------------
Learning Magic Ability: Deadshot - Hunter loads his guns with Deadshot ammo. Each bullet deals Hunter's PL +15% in damage and inflicts Blood Rot.
Blood Rot: Deals 90% of Hunter's PL in damage and heals him for the same amount, then gains a stack. Each stack deals an additional 5%, up to a maximum of 6 stacks. Can be removed through any magical healing/purification ability, or by burning it out with focused Ki power.

"AHA!"
Hunter suddenly stands from where he'd been sitting, knocking over the table he'd been eating from. He had been idly considering what old/new techniques he should start using, when he'd remembered a conversation he'd had with Mirin not that long ago. She'd mentioned how she'd drained the life of plants and electronics in order to undo the seal put on her, and that had triggered a flash of inspiration.
Why just stop there?
Heading outside, Hunter looks for the biggest, tallest tree he can find, then stands a few feet away, looking up at it. It was the best stand-in for a person he could find in short notice, since little shrubs and such wouldn't be worth the time.
He lifts his hand, muttering words of power softly to himself while focusing on the life he could sense in the tree. Green magical energy flows from his hand into the tree, before green and purple energy flows back.
"That feels good."
Hunter grins, holding the energy flow stable until finally it suddenly cuts off. The tree is blackened, rot already starting to spread across it, while Hunter shrugs and walks away.
Next time, he'd need to look for something bigger.
------------------
Learning Magical Ability: (10%) Drain Life - Hunter fires a green beam that latches on to his target, then starts draining the victim's vitality, inflicting his PL in damage +10%. Hunter heals for half the damage inflicted as long as this ability is channeled, which can be broken by dealing damage to Hunter.

There's times Hunter didn't want to get his own hands dirty. Not for shooting, of course. He loves doing that in person.
But after he'd spent another two days on a Western-Mafia marathon with Mirin, Leon had demanded they get out and do something else. Apparently, he could "only watch the same movies so many times", and instead, he'd demanded Hunter head out and move some of the cargo.
Hunter, of course, had no desire to do such a thing. Especially not by himself, since Mirin had skipped out to do something else. There were so MANY boxes, and they were big! He couldn't carry them all at once, his hands weren't big enough.
A lightbulb goes off in his head. He didn't even need clones for this, he could do it with just one... big... hand.
"Rakshasa's Dark Hand! Remove what lies before me!"
Hunter invokes the spell he'd seen his instructors perform time after time in his youth, and a great golden clawed hand appears before him, grasping the cargo and lifting it up.
Before crushing it and disappearing.
"....oh."
That wasn't... he probably should've been more specific.
Hunter looks side to side, then takes off. He needs a head start.
---------------------------
Learning Magical Ability: (15%) Rakshasa's Dark Hand - Hunter summons a massive twenty feet wide, golden hand with claws. The hand responds to verbal commands and has a strength of Hunter's power level +15%.

Alright. Maybe Rakshasa's Dark Hand was a little too big for every day tasks.
But Hunter still didn't want to pick things up by himself. It was too much work. He didn't learn magic so that he would have to bend over and pick things up like a sucker.
That was for slaves!
Instead, there had to be a way for him to get around it. Hunter sighs, thinking back to his lessons when he was a... well... younger man. There was a lot he skipped over, but there had to be-
"AHA!"
Hunter stands up and points, straight down at the broken mug he'd accidentally knocked free from its perch atop the table earlier. He didn't want to pick that shit up with his FINGERS.
"Great Devourer, who pulls all into his ever-consuming maw! I call forth your furious grasp!"
Black tendrils burst forth from Hunter's torso, reaching down to grab the glass pieces.
"Success!"
Hunter turns to head out the door, dropping the glass in the process.
-----------------------
Learning Magical Ability: (0%-20%) Grasp of the Great Devourer - Hunter summons six black tendrils that burst forth from his torso. These tendrils deal no damage, but have a grip strength of his power level +20%.
