Abilities overview
Patchouli is a magician youkai. As the name no doubt implies, she is rather adept at magic, her focus being the seven seven elements of wood, fire, water, metal, earth, sun, and moon, one for each day of the week. However, she has shown to be able to alter this element structure to the five Western elements of Earth, Fire, Wind,

Name / Journal: Lemina Ausa / megamagicpower
Is Patchy allowed to learn your magic? Yes, assuming she can handle it.
Comments / Questions: All right, I suppose first thing to note is that for Lunar's magic, based off how it works in the game and is discussed in the novels and the like, I'm using a modified version of the Slayers idea of the pool capacity versus bucket capacity: you have $pool amount of power, and you can control $bucket at a time. The main difference is that in Lunar, the pool's mostly fixed at birth while the bucket can grow, and in Slayers, the bucket's mostly fixed at birth but the pool can grow. The pool and bucket amounts have no relation to each other -- there's at least one character with a bucket large enough to control the magic of dragons, but who had absolutely no power of his own, i.e. an empty pool. Both values can be expanded through magic items and incantations and the like, which is one of the main purposes of what magicians in Lunar study.

That being said, almost all of Lemina's magic is pretty standard. Fire conjuration, ice conjuration, enchanting people with fire energy and ice energy to raise their attack and defense respectively, and "mystic magic" spells which deal directly with magical energies itself, which can range from creating simple lights, making magical items, up to huge anti-magic circles that can shut down all magical effects on a battlefield.

Her only truly unique spell would be Catastrophe, which is basically designed to break the bucket capacity rule. It's a theory that's simple to grasp: rather than controlling every mote of energy in the spell, she sets up a barrier at the edges of the battle and then floods it with uncontrolled elemental magic. With nowhere to dissipate to, it all ricochets within the boundary and turns into... well, a catastrophe.

Does that make sense? Long story short, learning it would probably be easy for Patchouli, but I'm not sure how well she'd handle actually casting it.

Patchy could learn the spells to know how they work, but as an elementalist herself, I doubt she'd actually use it at all too much. Except maybe the antimagic circle. We'll see how it works out in the future.
