Again, infinitely powerful, but with two drawbacks: A Sylph can’t use this ability on themselves, and even if they are using it on others, they can only use it if Space is missing it (and Space is one finicky son of a bitch to negotiate with).Īs I mentioned earlier, the Sylph of Space has no powers that they can use explicitly for themselves. And to heal using Space may mean stealing a little bit of something from Space’s “creation” theme, in other words, healing by recreating what is missing in a person’s Space.



You can’t open them when you want to, but rather, when it is needed (much like Kanaya’s Chastity Fetch Modus). I imagine this as opening Rifts, taking something that doesn’t need to exist in one universe to fill in for something missing from our universe. To heal Space might mean replacing something that was destroyed, something that was meant to be, meant to exist, and simply doesn’t. It would be like conducting an orchestra, altering what needs to be altered of their allies or enemies with merely the flick of a hand.īut, if we’re talking about the Sylph’s infamous other ability, i.e., that of healing, then we’re speaking of two things. They could alter the position of their enemies, pushing back a horde to leave just one to fight. They could also create Space for their enemies as well: they could slow down their Space, or make them small or insignificant. They can make their allies large as life, giving them brute strength, or make them small so that they can easily dodge enemy attacks. They can change the position of their allies, allowing them to get away from enemies quickly or, perhaps, if the advantage would be theirs, let them go straight to the front lines in preparation for a massacre. They could give speed to a teammate, making them able to go around like a certain Marvel mutant and screw shit over. This would generally mean that they would be no where near the front lines, opening up a potential tactician position, which is only augmented by their abilities. So a Sylph of Space would basically be a cleric from an RPG: they would provide buffs to their teammates. It is hypothesized to have ties to creation, similar to how its countering Aspect, Time, is related to death, but its major ties are to the velocity, size, shape, and position of various things. The Sylph of Space creates for others using Space, but the funny thing about Space is that it is a very science-y aspect. A less fortuitous example of this would be Kanaya trying to use the Matriorb to recreate her race, or, in other words, perhaps, heal it. One example of this is Aranea Serket healing Terezi’s eyes, allowing her to see again (a more literal interpretation of the Light Aspect, but an interpretation of it all the same), therefore healing her with Light, and at the same time, passively creating light in her eyes. In any case, another speculated additional ability of any Sylph is to heal using their Aspect or to simply heal their Aspect. I did not include Jane in that list because nearly as soon as she reached god tier, she was forced into inversion by Her Imperious Condescension, and she was never able to use her abilities as the Maid of Life in the way they were meant to be used. There aren’t many examples to illustrate this contrast, as there is only one Maid and Sylph each who have reached god tier and use their powers in the way they are supposed to (Aradia, Maid of Time, and Aranea, Sylph of Light). Where the Maid does for themselves, the Sylph generally does for others. In any case, both Maids and Sylphs create, but generally do it for different people. Both classes are hypothesized to be female-exclusive classes, but given Hussie’s response regarding the possibility of a female Prince (which was a yes), it is fully possible that any gender restrictions on the classes are null (male Sylphs, rejoice!). The Sylph and the Maid are the passive-active pair for the Creating class. Once again, we’re going to do powers, weapons, and the land and quest. With TC’s god tier posted, I guess it’s time for mine (CA’s).
