Character Abilities Tally
It's that time again omg.
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 and so on. This is mandatory for all characters, and we would appreciate it ASAP though there is no specific deadline.
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. Temporary powers for specific plots do not need to be noted now.
Please be as thorough as possible, as this will help everyone out with plots and knowing who can fill what roles.
Thank you so much in advance for taking the time to do this!
**Wait for the OCD omg or Chuck will get Nate to go out with you and then dump you two episodes later** OCD UP!
1 In this instance, "canon" does refer to FH canon as well. If your character at this time has honed their fighting skills or anything like that, please do make sure to note that. For guidelines on characters picking up abilities, please see this post.
2 For those of you who had characters around the last couple years and just want to C&P what you put in the post then, here are some shiny links for you.

Re: Magic abilities
The exact limits of what witches on the Disc are able to do haven't really been defined, and it's probably safe to say that theoretically, there are none. There are practical limits, however, because all magic has its cost. You can't just do something without paying the price, and if you try to, it'll catch up with you eventually. Agnes is just a beginner, anyway, so she can hardly do anything. She's had some instruction from Granny and Nanny -- mostly them yelling at her when she's doing it wrong -- and has a whole library of books and notes in the cottage to learn from, but she's only been at it for a few months. She knows some herb lore, can do some simple spells, that sort of thing. It doesn't matter much, anyway, because Diamanda had been right about one thing -- "real" witchery was about three quarters trickery, one quarter intimidation, and only the tiniest fraction of the time did they do any real, actual magic.
In addition to more normal sorts of things -- brewing potions, flying broomsticks, etc. -- Agnes's magic has enhanced her vocal talents. She can sing in harmony with herself, mimic anyone, throw her voice anywhere in the room, hit notes that only dogs can hear, and all sorts of other things.
Since coming to Fandom, she's been reading up on magic from books in the library and the Magic Box, and has been learning quite a bit, although she hasn't actually practiced much.
