  List of Known Powers/Spells:
  
  At-will, Minor (Powers that are so simple, they occur almost without effort. Most are commanded by a single thought, and can be used along side many other, more complicated abilities.)
  
  Light:
  With a touch, Rayben can cause any object to glow brightly, putting off the same light as a torch or lantern. The effect is fairly short lived, lasting only a few minutes. Rayben's mastery of this spell is poor, he is unable to maintain more than one of its effect simultainiously as other mages can. Even still, the spell is invaluable in dark places when no other light can be found.
  
  Mage hand:
  A simple cantrip Rayben learned early in life, mage hand allows its caster to manipulate light objects that are close-by. The spell's range is very short, but is still useful when a second set of hands are needed. Rayben is working hard to improve his mastery of this spell, but seems to has some issue learning it's more refined movements.
  
  At-will, Standard (Powers that come so naturally or easily they can be used almost constantly, but take a second to preform)
  
  Arcane Bolt:
  A simple bolt of raw magic, this spell if more of an extension of Rayben's power than an actual attack. Still, this bolt does hit with the force of a fair punch, and because it is a direct creation of Rayben's will, never fails to strike its target. It inflicts only minor pain to those struck, but Rayben's mastery of this spell is almost unequaled. It is one of two spells Rayben can cast with just a thought. In addition, Rayben has mastered casting this spell with his off-hand, allowing him to cast it along with a more potent spell, but only once every few minutes. Neither the toughest hide or thickest armor offers much protection from this spell.
  
  Arc Lightning:
  A bolt of lightning arcs from Rayben's outstretched hand, striking down nearly any target Rayben can see, but then arcing to a second target if Rayben chooses. This lighting bolt seems to weave and dance through the air at Rayben's command, hitting only what he allows with moderate force.
  
  Freezing Burst:
  Rayben tosses what appears to be a small hailstone into the air, where it lands is quickly covered in ice and bitter cold. The ground becomes slick with frost and chilling winds under Rayben's command press creatures in a small area to seek cover from the cold. Rayben's mastery of this spell allows hims to slide creatures over the ice, controlling the winds to push them a short distance where ever he pleases. Though the cold released by this magic is extreme, is is short lived, thus only inflicting moderate damage.
  
  Hypnotism:
  A burst of magic reinforces Rayben's will and attacks a target's mind simultaneously. Empowered, Rayben's whispered words and piercing gaze become weapons that allow him to seize a moment of command. Creatures stumble off, fall to the floor, do harm to themselves or attack their own allies before their own will can reassert itself. While under this form of control, Rayben can direct the creature to strike with increased accuracy, having two vantage points to see the target from. Although powerful, the spell is very short lived, most creatures can shrug off its magic in seconds, but by then, the damage is already done.
  
  Cloud of Daggers:
  With a simple gesture and a single phrase, Rayben calls forth a cloud of magical blades, sweeping and slashing about in a small area. Creatures within the area when the blades are summoned are ruthlessly attacked from all sides by theses semi-real blades of force. The blades are sharp, but very small, inflicting only light damage. The blades begin to fade quickly and cannot leave the area they were summoned in, but if a creature does not leave the area, the weakened blades will continue to harry the creature, inflicting minor additional injury.
  
  Witch's Bolt:
  Anger, rage, and hatred, these are the tools of the witch, and they become weapons when magically made real. Though he's unwilling to discuss where or how he came to know this spell, or what darkness in him could fuel its destructive power, Rayben wields this magic with the same grace and poise as the rest of his arsenal. Witch's Bolt is a short range arcane leash of sorts, once it's attached to a creature, Rayben can continue to press magical energy into the spell, its lightning arcing between Rayben and the unlucky creature. Once attached, the only ways a creature can hope to remove this bond is to escape its short reach or to disable the caster, otherwise the lighting will continue to rip through the creature, inflicting medium damage over time.
  
  Prestidigitation:
  Not really one spell as it is many made simple. This spell allows Rayben to create a wide array of simple magical tricks or illusions. Changing colors, creating small tools, sparks, smoke, faint music or sounds, even washing or dirtying objects are just a few of the things this cantrip can produce. Rayben as a special affinity for this spell, it is one of two spells he can cast with nothing more than a thought.
