isolated powers post
Abilities: Let's be short: Klara is inhuman. Supernatural senses should tick her as "not human," even though she looks entirely like one. As she comes from the earth and her memories are formed from the memories that have seeped into it, to magical divining she comes off as earth-like in place of human-like. Mundane means says "human, but kinda strange," as the results of the Bachelor's blood test would have told her if she was able to stick around to hear them. This isn't so much as an overt 'ability' as an observable trait.
Her aforementioned powers work like so. She can heal by laying her hands upon the ailing, but this works by changing their very blood into something stronger, and described as the game as 'bull-like.' It's been shown to work on normal wounds like bullets or cuts, but the change is permanent. This ability makes her a bit hurt herself to use. I'm gonna say it induces anemia, to follow on the blood theme. Klara doesn't know about the blood-changing aspect of this power, and it could be presumably counteracted against if the target already has Weird Blood. This is a Recovery ability.
Relating back to blood again, she can wave her hands at someone and cause them to start violently spraying blood like something out of a Quentin Tarantino movie. This isn't an instant kill, but IS an instant "holy shit" moment. I just spent ten minutes trying to figure out what subset this could be, but seeing as there's nothing in the game that can guard against this attack - I'm gonna say Almighty, though weakened by the fact that what she's attacking needs to have.... well, blood.
She has the ability to hypnotize someone for a brief time into answering questions with what they believe to be the truth, but it has a complex ritual surrounding it - first, she has to know a secret about the person, one that they would mind someone knowing. She calls these secrets "hooks." She also needs to know their real name - no nicknames work. The victim of the hypnosis usually doesn't recall the hypnosis itself, lucky to Klara. This is a Mind skill!
The verbal aspect of the hypnosis is as follows: "Do you hear metal tinkling on my chest? Those are neither keys nor picklocks; those are my special tiny hooks," is usually said during the lead-up. Then, she puts the knowledge she's gained of them beforehand to work - "Name, Name, I know (their secret). Would you agree to get close to me? Will you let go, submit into the depths... And give unto my questions your honest, unbiased answer?"
Hypnotized characters answer questions simply, with feelings laid bare.
Finally, she can make a sudden flash of light happen around her, like a lightning strike. It doesn't actually DO anything other than look impressive... I, guess that would be a Mind skill too??
