HOUSE ABILITIES
Accelerated Healing - Passive
Physical injuries heal approximately 20% faster than the standard healing of a human being. However, Devana feels the same amount of pain, and her skin can scar. She is unable to extend this ability, and cannot project it onto another individual.
Aura Sensing - Passive
Able to 'see' the life force of an individual or creature in front of her. This ability is useful for detecting illness or injury. Devana cannot sense through walls or other dense objects. Those with magical abilities may be able to cloak their aura from her.
Magic Resistance - Passive and Active ★★☆☆☆
Devana has runes carved beneath the gold cuffs on her antlers that ward off very low level psychic attacks, such as mind reading or manipulation. If she meditates, she is able to enhance this resistance, and can even project it onto one other individual to temporarily protect them. If the attacking spell is strong, the runes may fail. Similarly, if her meditation is disturbed, the protection may fail.
The Sight - Active ★★★☆☆
Only accessible when she takes a particular herbal brew, the ingredients and their quantities of which she knows by heart. Devana will then go into a trance that can last between one or several hours. After she recovers, she will be able to reveal information she has gleaned from the future. This is usually in the form of strong feelings, although occasionally she will be able to divulge seen imagery. Her sight should only be used as a guide -- for example, her people use this ability to decide where best to hunt. It is against Devana's morals to use the sight to intrude upon another individual's life without good cause. -
