Skill 9, 10, 11
Mundane Skill: Myths and legends. (Form: Candied apple. Has six pieces, only one useable.)
Pretty much what it says on the tin. Being possibly the only witch in the world, she's highly interested in anything and everything to do with magic. Even if it's not 'real magic,' she'll still want to learn about it. So she knows both real and unreal and maybe real myths. Really this is just a lot of occult knowledge from all over the world.
THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT THAT'S ACTUALLY REAL. She has body parts in her basement from various mythical creatures. They just hide away from humans usually. Humans are too much trouble to deal with so the magical world tries to avoid them.
A thing of note that I kind of headcanon is that each and every single myth about immortality that's legit comes with the tag of 'pursuing this is BAD END' because reviving the dead and immortality are a Big Deal in DCMK universe. (This is also why her magic generally can't be used to kill.) So this skill comes with even more of an unease about revival in Aather.
Mundane Skill: 'Puzzle' solving. (Form: single long strip of worn paper with a line drawn down its center in red ink. Tear it.)
It's one part upping her logic skills and one part helping her figure out the most cryptic of things. There's just a lot of puzzles involved in magic, magical research, divination, and all that stuff, and Akako is good at that. As well as just using common sense. "Re: oh only Kid can resist me. This guy can resist me. Ergo, this guy is Kid." Just because you're magic doesn't mean you can't logic well.
Mundane Skill: Scythe handling. (Form: A single teabag with an unhelpful word on the tab. Can make a couple of cups of tea, but useable only once for skill.)
Well Akako almost murdered Kaito with a scythe. And Akako needs to get materials that is body parts of mythical creatures. So sometimes she needs to kill a thing. She'll fight mostly with magic, but it's good to have a physical weapon just in case or to finish the job. She's not JRPG Protag, but she's able to handle a scythe competently in a fight.
