Normal Attack: Card Force Translocation
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive shots with a bow. Plunging Attack Fires off a shower of arrows in mid-air before falling and striking the ground, dealing AoE DMG upon impact. Charged Attack Performs a more precise Aimed Shot with increased DMG. While aiming, flames will run across the arrowhead before being fired. Different effects will occur based on the time spent charging. ·Charge Level 1: Fires off a Pyro-infused arrow, dealing Pyro DMG. ·Charge Level 2: Fires off a Prop Arrow that deals Pyro DMG, and upon hit, it will summon a Grin-Malkin Hat. When firing the Prop Arrow, and when Lyney has more than 60% HP, he will consume a portion of his HP to obtain 1 Prop Surplus stack. Max 5 stacks. The effect will be removed after the character spends 30s out of combat. The lowest Lyney can drop to through this method is 60% of his Max HP. Grin-Malkin Hat ·Can taunt nearby opponents and attract their attacks. Each opponent can only be taunted by the Hat once every 5s. ·The Hat will inherit a percentage of Lyney's Max HP. ·If destroyed, or if its duration expires, it will fire off a Pyrotechnic Strike at 1 nearby opponent, dealing Pyro DMG. Only 1 Hat can exist at any given time. Arkhe: Pneuma At certain intervals, the Prop Arrow will cause a Spiritbreath Thorn to descend upon its hit location, dealing Pneuma-aligned Pyro DMG.
Bewildering Lights
Lyney does a flourish with his hat, unleashing a firework surprise! When used, he will clear all current Prop Surplus stacks and deal AoE Pyro DMG to opponents in front of him. DMG will be increased according to the stacks cleared, and this will also regenerate Lyney's HP based on his Max HP. When a Grin-Malkin Hat created by Lyney is on the field, the fireworks will cause it to explode, dealing AoE Pyro DMG equal to that of a Pyrotechnic Strike. The DMG dealt through the Grin-Malkin Hat in this way is considered Charged Attack DMG. "Everyone knows that magicians will intentionally misdirect the audience... Ah, yes, while you were looking my way, the hat and assistant over there have both disappeared... Fascinating, is it not?"
Wondrous Trick: Miracle Parade
Unleashing his magic, Lyney turns himself into a Grin-Malkin Cat that can move around quickly. (Not to be mistaken for the Grin-Malkin Hat. They're two different props!) When the Grin-Malkin Cat gets close to opponents, it will send flames falling down on them, dealing at most 1 instance of Pyro DMG to each opponent. When the duration ends, he will dismiss the Grin-Malkin Cat and ignite fireworks that deal AoE Pyro DMG, summon 1 Grin-Malkin Hat, and grant himself 1 Prop Surplus stack. Grin-Malkin Cat can be actively canceled. "Watch closely now. This is a time for miracles, and it belongs to just the two of us!"
Passive Talents
Perilous Performance
If Lyney consumes HP when firing off a Prop Arrow, the Grin-Malkin hat summoned by the arrow will, upon hitting an opponent, restore 3 Energy to Lyney and increase DMG dealt by 80% of his ATK.
Conclusive Ovation
The DMG Lyney deals to opponents affected by Pyro will receive the following buffs: ·Increases the DMG dealt by 60%. ·Each Pyro party member other than Lyney will cause the DMG dealt to increase by an additional 20%. Lyney can deal up to 100% increased DMG to opponents affected by Pyro in this way.

Namecard
Namecard style. Dedicated Game Masters at the Tabletop Troupe will sometimes switch hats to indicate their change in role. Hmm, in that case, does Clorinde— Forget about it! She doesn't even take that hat off when swimming.
Quotes
Hello
This is no mere illusion, tis I, Lyney! The greatest magician in all Teyvat! How are we feeling today? Excited? Surprised? Oh, you're curious how I appeared in front of you like this? Well... Hmm, your eyes are like topaz, precious, pure, and lovely. I like them! I've decided — I'm going to put on a show just for you. Watch carefully now. Blink, and you might miss it!
Chat: Distraction
This is no time for distractions! Seriously, you have a great magician standing right here... You don't want to miss the best part, do you!?
Chat: Sister
I wonder what my dear sister Lynette is doing right now? Missing me to death, I'm sure!
Chat: Seeing is Believing
So long as the audience thinks that "seeing is believing," there's no limit to the number of tricks I can pull off!
When It Rains
There's no way we'll be able to see the stars tonight in this weather. Unless... I try making the stars appear anyway!
After the Rain
Great, the weather's clearing up! I wonder if there's someone up there performing magic too...
When It Snows
Achoo! Phew... I've heard some say that when you sneeze, it means that someone's thinking about you. Is it Lynette, I wonder? Or... is it you?
When It's Windy
Whoa, that was close! If this wind blows my hat off, all the props I keep inside it would come tumbling down onto my head.
When the Wind Is Blowing
The wind is really picking up... Ah, all my magic cards! Wait! No, no, not that way, come back! Come to Lyney!!!
Good Morning
...C'mon, just five more minutes... Huh? Oh! It's you! I thought it was the radiance of the sunlight on my skin that I felt — turns out it was your radiance all along!
Good Afternoon
I'm going to check out some products used for magic tricks later this afternoon. Perhaps they'll spark some inspiration for some new tricks. Want to come along? Come on, don't be shy, you know you want to! You can feed some of my animal assistants I use in my shows — I'm sure you'll get along great!
Good Evening
Good evening. The Great Magician Lyney will be performing later tonight... but I'm sure you didn't need me to tell you that!
Good Night
Good night. If you have trouble falling asleep, I have a few little props used for hypnosis that might help... Or maybe not. Either way, sweet dreams!
About Lyney: Sweet Talker
I should probably emphasize again that I'm rarely so open with anyone — I guess it's because you're not just anyone.
About Lyney: Partnership
*sigh* I'm afraid I'd find myself going into standby mode without Lynette by my side. I mean, I can handle my own business just fine, but it takes some getting used to. I'm sure you can understand. You also have... I mean... always have Paimon with you, after all.
About Us: Withholding the Truth
Wow, you're not beating around the bush! ...Let me put it this way — delicious berries must often grow in areas thick with thorns, otherwise they would be devoured by greedy foxes. This is what we call self-defense! I mean, sure, I don't mind telling some small lies to others at times, but between the two of us, I've never done anything worse than omitting a minor detail here and there, right?
About Us: Principles
Magicians generally do not reveal the core secrets behind their tricks, but if you don't mind becoming my apprentice and calling me "Master Lyney," then that would be different. I'm curious how much of it you'd understand, and how long you'd last, hehe.
About the Vision
If a magician were to go onstage with their Vision in hand, people might suspect the authenticity of their tricks, so I habitually take it off before performing. But since you're interested, why don't you help me hold on to it while I perform? Just be sure to keep an eye on it, though — or it might just sneak its way back to me!
Something to Share
Magic isn't just a performance art, it's also a way of thinking. Many things in this world seem simple at first glance but play host to all sorts of secrets if you look deeper.
Interesting Things
Cats can use their ears to express their feelings. If they flatten them backwards, it indicates fear or caution, and if their ears are perked up and occasionally face forward, that usually means they're happy. Constant swiveling indicates that they are vigilantly assessing their surroundings... How do I know this? Experience and observation!
About "Father": Family
"Father" gave us a family, raised us, and told each of us what we should work towards. In turn, what I can do is very simple... Remain loyal, and protect our home.
About "Father": King
Ours is a kingdom consisting only of children, and "Father" is our king. No king rules forever, of course, and I know that one day I will be chosen as "Father's" successor... But that also terrifies me... Please don't mention this to anyone, especially my sister and Freminet.
About Lynette: Modes
You think my sister doesn't talk much? Oh, she's probably just not in the right mode. Next time, start by saying "Activate Chat Mode" to her. If you're lucky, she might have a great deal of things to say to you. Hmm, and if you're not lucky...? Well, she'll just stare for a while, but hey, at least you'll get to see a different side of her!
About Lynette: Twins
My sister and I have always been inseparable. There's no hardship we can't overcome as long as we're together, and similarly, we share all our joys with each other. There's nothing in the world I treasure more than my family, so I know what it must be like for you... And if I find out anything at all that might help you, I'll be sure to let you know.
About Freminet
My naive little brother still believes in fairy tales. I envy him, really. Uh, just to be clear though, he didn't actually tell me that. I just happened to see what he keeps in his secret drawer once... Really, it was an accident! So please don't tell him, or he'll get mad at me for sure.
About Neuvillette
Monsieur Neuvillette rarely appears in public, almost as if he's intentionally trying to put some distance between himself and the people. At first, I thought it might be just me, but my ever-observant sister noticed it too, so I suppose that must really be the case.
About Furina
The Hydro Archon, Lady Furina, is very unpredictable, and her manner of speech can be quite provocative, almost as if she sees talking itself like some sort of performance. The people of Fontaine have a particular soft spot for excitement and drama, which is why many hold her in high esteem.
About Chiori
Flattery won't get you anywhere with her. She'll only give those who can truly appreciate her art a second look. How does she see me, you ask? Come on now, that hurts! Not only am I a connoisseur of the arts, but honest about it too, as I am in all my dealings!
About Navia
I didn't think that she'd be willing to help strangers like us. If it hadn't been for all of you, Lynette and I wouldn't have been acquitted... Thank you so much. I'll have to wait for a lovely, sunny day to invite everyone to Café Lutece for the most wonderful afternoon tea!
About Charlotte
Charlotte has been trying to get me to agree to an interview ever since we met... Ugh, it feels like she's already asked twenty times now. She has a good nose for finding news, and she's the persistent type, too. But to be honest, I have no desire to find myself in the spotlight of one of her breaking news stories, and so I've found all sorts of reasons to decline each time.
About Clorinde
Clorinde's quite famous as a Champion Duelist. But from what I've read in the papers, she seems to have gotten into a bit of a pickle. The media's been all over her story, and she's... Well, she's the type that definitely doesn't enjoy that kind of attention.
About Emilie
Have you ever gotten a whiff of the perfumes she makes? I quite liked them and was thinking to buy myself a bottle... But Lynette's tail indicated that she didn't share my opinion, so that was the end of that!
More about Lyney: I
It seems we're both keenly interested in each other. Well, know that the honor is mine! Haha, relax. I couldn't ever tell lies to your mesmerizing eyes — not even if I tried!
More about Lyney: II
Of course, there's no way to ensure that you'll never slip up when performing magic tricks. The way I see it, the point is not to perform perfectly, but to stay calm at all times and adapt as needed. Even if some small flaws occur, you just need to make the audience believe that it's all part of the show, and you'll still deliver an entertaining and unforgettable performance!
More about Lyney: III
As orphans without parents to shelter us, Lynette and I were forced to roam the streets since childhood, so we've been through a lot. But those experiences have also made us who we are today. We're doing alright these days. I have a hat full of hopes and dreams... Heh, and a family, and audience, hoping that I don't let them down!
More about Lyney: IV
Haha, so even now you still don't completely trust me, huh? You're a vigilant one — not that that's a bad thing. I'll never need to worry about you getting duped by someone else. But on the other hand, since you've taken it upon yourself to watch my every move, you'd better be careful when you blink... Who knows, I might just tell a huge, terrible lie while you're not paying attention! You'd be in a real pickle then, wouldn't you?
More about Lyney: V
Actually, the real me is nowhere near as outgoing or chatty as I appear. More often than not, I only work my verbal "magic" as a means of getting closer to people. Sometimes I think people would feel sorry for the real me. Do you? *sigh* Or do you find my little games absurd?
Lyney's Hobbies
Hey, what do we have here? Ah, a cute, little white rabbit — you like it? Curious about when it got here? You should be! Hehe, the look of amazement on our audience's face is what we magicians love the most.
Lyney's Troubles: It's All a Disguise
Ah, what to do, what to do? The thing that troubles me is... the fact that you can even think of troubling things when you have such a great magician like myself standing right in front of you.
Lyney's Troubles: Doves
In the past, I would let the doves I raised fly freely, and they would always return to me. But there was once when a few didn't return, and by the time we tracked them down, they'd been turned into dove pie. Even now I still don't know how to give them both freedom and safety.
Favorite Food
See this fishbowl? Come, put your hand inside it. Filled with just ordinary water, right? Are you sure? Then let's begin! See this cloth? I'm going to cover the bowl with it and... Well, what do you know? There's a fish in there now! How was that? Maybe this fun little performance could earn me one of your very own fish dishes?
Least Favorite Food
Our performances require that Lynette and I have matching physiques, so we have to avoid eating any oily food. Now, that's not a huge problem for me, but it can be tough for my sister — the fried fish they sell on the streets smells amazing, after all...
Receiving a Gift: I
It's quite an honor to enjoy such wonderful food made by you.
Receiving a Gift: II
My, this is delicious! You're quite the cook. Thanks for the treat.
Receiving a Gift: III
Would you like to see a magic trick? Now, let me place this ordinary cloth on top of the dish. Count down with me — three, two, one! Tada! Where'd the food go?
Birthday
I have a feather here, just an ordinary feather... Go ahead, you can hold it and see for yourself. Ready? And... boom! It was a party popper all along. Happy Birthday! See this? I caught one of the paper streamers floating down. Now, make a wish and picture a birthday gift in your mind's eye as I light it. Three... two... one... Great! Verrry good, I know exactly what you were thinking now. The last step, put your hand inside my hat... Well? Is it the gift you wanted?

Nothing could make me happier than having your trust.
