Magical Powers

One being may hold up to four powers, although these powers can advance and manifest themselves in many ways within one being. For example, a person with Telekinesis may start out only being able to make things move by waving their hand at the object. But with time, they may not have to do anything to make an object move other than mentally imagine it moving. However, you will be told your limits on any power you have, and you may challenge the Nexus in time for an advancement in your powers when you feel you have grown as a character to do so. Below are a list of all of the powers that you may acquire here with a general description of each. All of the teleportation powers come from some other power, but they’re listed here so you know all the possible ways you may end up being able to teleport.

Your Powers are special, and it's your job to make sure that you use them appropriately. What that means is that you use them for the use they're meant to be used for based on whatever you are. For example, if you're a witch, you're not to use your powers for personal gain. That's really the big stipulation on witches. In other words, you're supposed to use them to help others only, and it should be to help Innocents and other beings of good (under the Elders). Should you use them for personal gain, or use them to help evil beings (under the Source), then you could be stripped of your powers. Now obviously this is meant as a characterization tool! Maybe you want your character to get a taste of the dark side... and in the process they get stripped of their powers. Now it opens up all these doors of living the life of a mortal human! That could be great, and in time you'll get your powers back... with a little bonus too I'm sure.

On the flip side, the only thing that's bad for the demons and such to do is to use their powers to help innocents or the good beings under the Elders. Then the Source could be notified and you'll be... well most would think killed. But because we don't want our characters to die without our permission here, you're just going to get your powers taken away and forced to live as a mortal. Ew, yucky! They DEFINITELY don't like that. But hey, characterization can always be fun... and maybe they'll end up going to the other side and working with the other beings of good. Oooooohhhhhhh...
