Trigger - Counter(Receiving Melee Damage): 20 Elec, Nova2 (cost: 40, CD 1)
Description: Occurs when she is struck; the pain of the blow causes a reaction from her body, discharging a jolt of electrical current in a small nova around her. The discharge is only small and her form regains its natural ready charge quite quickly.
Quote ('My Heart Falters')
20Hp barrier, (cost: 20, CD 1)
Description: Occurs when her uncertainty and fear turn to a desperate hope for preservation. The light current that suffuses her body manifests in a static-laden field about her, persistent enough to ward off a small amount of damage.
Lyntael is beginning to understand more about how her body naturally reacts to dangerous situations, and while she still struggles to maintain any sort of control over her natural instinctive reactions, she is, at least, learning.
Now that there is slightly more at her disposal, too, I can begin to detail the recoil and overcharge effect that hampers the continued expenditure of her energy. This is purely RP cosmetic, but essentially, the more heavily she expends her natural charge, the more fiercely it rebuilds, soon outstripping her normal comfort zones, and can be relieved temporarily by further expending of her charge; this is a dangerously concentric circle, of course. If it grows too much for her, Lyntael will progressively lose cohesive ability to function normally in battle. This has reached a critical point once in her life so far. Her limits will increase as she grows more accustomed to it, and can be roughly tracked as equitable to her level; different signature abilities will add build up, or subtract cooldown from her electrical regain rate, and how close she is to her limit will have a cosmetic RP effect on Lyntael herself (though, if she reaches a critical level of overcharge, the actions she can take will be affected).
As well as Signatures, the use of her buster can and will also have an effect on this: A full-charge buster strike is an Expend of +1 to her Overcharge Effect, and Half-charge strikes had a variable minor addition as well; roughly 2 to 3 half-charge strikes will make a +1.
(Mechanically, I'll probably tweak exactly how this works with itself as I play her... I don't expect to get the mechanical side balanced perfectly with the RP feel right off the bat)
So Then:
Quote ('My Pain is Real')
Trigger - Counter(Receiving Melee Damage): 40 Elec, Nova2, Self-Slow1 (Cost: 80 before nerfing, final cost: 40, CD 2)
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, +1 On Trigger
Description: Despite gradually growing more accustomed to the reactive shockwave that often results from her body being struck, the recoil itself still takes a good deal out of Lyntael. The more it has happened, the stronger the resulting discharge of electrical energy has become.

40Elec Barrier, Buster Charge, Off-Target. (Cost: 80, Nerf as Cooldown → 1TCD)
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool Off, -1 on Activation
Description: The defensive mechanism that triggers when Lyntael finds herself in sudden danger or is fearfully shocked, she has had more experience with this effect than any other, and has, on occasion, been able to trigger the ability deliberately, through her own concentration. The reverberation of her barrier forming, extending out from her core as it does, over her body to meet up with and draw power from the strikers at her wrists and ankles, does cause a mildly disorienting effect for the girl, but it is fleeting, and the skill itself does prove to be a stable way of using her inner charge without exciting it to faster build-up. Not entirely perfect, while it does help to cool the build of her natural charge, the manner in which it draws power from her strike points does cause a lesser reaction of energy build-up in them, instead.
Quote ('My Anger Directed')
90Elec, Shot-type, Charge-Burner 1 (Cost: 90 before nerfing, final cost: 60, 3TCD)
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, +2 On Activation
Description: Very, very occasionally, Lyntael finds herself getting genuinely angry; at her situation, at things hurting her, at the unfairness of her particular fate, and the sundry other factors of her life that simply aren't what they ought to be. On the rare occasion that she is just so furious, and has a target to direct that frustration at, she can deliberately channel a full expenditure of her body's electrical energy at it in a fiercely arcing bolt of lightning. It only occurs when she already has a fair amount of excess charge built up in her small frame, and thus the expenditure of it drains her notably, completely depleting her reserves and stressing her body to rebuild its charge more fiercely than any other ability she has.
Quote ('A Manifest Spirit')
Passive: 10Elec, Nova2, (Base Cost: 20, Passive Cost: 80)
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool Off, -1 Each turn that it is in effect.
Description: Under most circumstances, it's probably a bad idea to even touch Lyntael with exposed skin; her natural charge runs through her whole body, and unless she concentrates on suppressing it, and is calm at the time, anyone so much as touching her is liable to receive a shock. When she is feeling particularly not-calm, emotional or otherwise worked up, the effect becomes more pronounced, and in dangerous situations, it reaches the point of a continuous cascade of electrical energy that rolls off her body in a small area about her. Lyntael herself is very self-conscious about this particular effect, and through frequent desire to do so, can generally suppress the most harmful effects of this, beyond the ever-present dangers of direct contact, at least, fairly reliably. If she begins to overcharge, this is usually one of the first things the girl will lose control of, not least because the effect itself is both a defence mechanism, and also one of her body's means of regulating her excess charge.
