OOC: General request for plotting and organization

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Hey, all!

So, in an effort to keep things a little more organized for plottishness and so on, we're going to ask a quick favor of you all.

Could you please reply to each appropriate comment below, and let us know what kind of powers/abilities/etc your character possesses? This is for all characters - students/alumni, teachers and townies - and covers everything including especially good researching/support skills, magic, skill with weaponry, mutations, etc.

Anything that is a canon power or ability of your character and could be used in a plot in some way, please list below in the correct thread.

Thank you so much for indulging my OCD your participation.

(And naturally, there will be threads, so please to be waiting for them and they're up!)

Re: Magic abilities

Willow is one of the most Mary Sue powerful witches in Buffyverse. Or, at the very least, she grows up to be. Right now she's still learning but, unlike the other Buffyverse characters, she has the raw magical talent to do the real bad-ass spells.

Right now her two perfect spells are disinviting vampires and resouling Angel. (According to canon, the disinvitation spell needs a proper witch, but a beginning witch is fine. Angel's curse, however, is a powerful spell and Willow's the only known person in Buffyverse who can do it.)

She also has telekinesis which she can use to move small objects (pencils, stakes) around with some accuracy, and I've had her practicing to show her gaining the ability that lets her move bigger stuff.

Canon-wise her magic so works at the speed of the plot, but she's got locator spells, she's worked in an instant-sunlight spell, she's got some fire-starting, and later on in canon she gets things like teleportation spells into the mix as well as telepathy.

There are also more powerful magics that she uses in later seasons, but the implication is that she got them when she dipped into dark magic and her spells wouldn't have been the same if she'd stayed on the right path. OTOH in s7 there's the implication that she was always uber-powerful and just needed to know how to control her magic properly so... yeah. Here's me quite happy to play Willow back when her spells still did the wacky from time to time.

Oh, and she's also known to hack spells to make them bigger, better, yellow, faster, different.
