Okay. So focus on the magic aspect, or whatever your ability will be. I wanted this to be kind of a surprise for the first person I fought, but with there being no other kings, I'll help you with my example. Gil, despite his looks, will be more of a brawler. He'll fight like a pro-wrestler actually.
For example, I will have him set up rebounding space around them to act as ropes to throw people into, bounce them back and stuff. He'll use his power to launch himself in the air for high flying moves, use it to emphasize when he throws someone up and, if he did a chokeslam or powerbomb for example, amplify the driving force when he slams them into the ground. He'll even slow down time when he's doing something like a splash and it'll gain bonus damage for the "superstar" effect I will give him.
You can come up with an ability and just apply it to sword skills later on as your way of using them. Let's say your ability was energy projection. You could say he most commonly uses his sword as a focus. You could then do something like a horizontal slash that leaves a trail of light. Then you slash vertically down the center of that trail and it launches a lot of splintered energy attacks, sort of like a rain of arrows. Or you could stab someone, then immediately fire off a blast burning clean through them. So focus on your ability, then just apply it to your sword later.
