Abilities
Witchfire innate senses allow her to detect and identify all forms of mystic energy near her; at quieter moments she can attune these to sense non-mystical forces such as emotions or life energies. She naturally heals slightly faster than normal. She uses various magic; beyond her own innate abilities she has been trained by Shaman in sympathetic magic and in magic drawing on extra-dimensionals such as Agamotto and Hezaba. Her spells include shields against flame, physical damage and magic; pain-inducers; and spells to end mind-control. She has a natural affinity for flame control, but generally avoids using these spells as they wake uncomfortable elements of her lost past. When she briefly regained her full memories, she transformed into a horned demonic form with greatly increased power levels and greater control over those powers; in this she manifested incredible teleportation abilities, matter transformation and the opening of dimensional gates. In her normal form she has two tiny black horns, but she generally hides them either with her magic or by wearing her hair over them.
