Rupalia Terese Cross

Magic, Abilities and Ghostliness.

Magic.

Rupalia is able to manipulate most instances of magic in its basic form. This includes hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, manipulating electricity, wind, ice, plants, light and earth to an extent, but these powers are limited. She specialises in 'dark' magic, that is, to do with death, shadows and night. She has no control over time, but she can visit the past as a ghost and nothing more. She can not travel into the future, however.

Magic is usually wielded by her staff, which is made out of wood and hosts a lantern which contains the essence of a dark faerie. This is what drives a lot of her magic, but she can still use magic without it.

Her magic is not endless. Rarely, she can exhaust her energy with magic and will not be able to use magic for up to twelve hours. This usually happens if she performs something particularly draining for her (such as healing or travelling by magic) without her staff. In this time she will often sleep or meditate.

If she attempts to still use magic after she has exhausted her energy, Rupalia could experience seizures, unconsciousness and possibly 'death' - she could simply fade from existence. This is has never actually happened before, however, and is mostly hypothetical. Rupalia knows her body and her limits and does not try to exceed them.

Abilities.

Rupalia is able to produce apparations out of darkness, she can control other people's minds, she can possess the body of someone else, she can place curses on people, buildings or areas of land (forests, for example). Rupalia is able to produce a spherical shield that can protect her and others in close proximity to her. She's also able to read minds, but she does this very rarely.

Ghostliness.

Being a ghost, she cannot die as such, but she is forever bound to the earth and cannot pass into the afterlife. She is able to phase through physical objects with ease, but rarely does so unless she is in a hurry. This makes physical contact ineffective. Rupalia is able to become 'solid' and walk amongst non-ghosts as if she is one, however she cannot keep this up indefinitely. The longest she has been able to remain 'solid' before becoming exhausted is about eight hours at a time.
As a ghost, she can turn herself invisible at will and this doesn't affect her magic or energy reserves. She can do this indefinitely, and often goes weeks at a time invisible.

However, the only way she can fly is with her wings - if they are injured, she is as earthbound as any non-ghost. She can levitate with her magic, but chooses not to as it strains her energy.
