ABILITIES

⇒ NATURAL CLASS
As someone who possesses her main abilities from the natural plane, Nicola has a certain degree of control over anything natural and alive. Her magic is largely drawn from nature ( think traditional "white magic" ) and she feels a certain connection to anything rooted in nature. This isn't to say that her magic only comes from the natural plane, or that she can't access other types of magic, just that hers is strongest when used in conjunction with the natural world. Moon cycles, celestial events and old forests all help to boost her power and she is strongest when using these to her advantage.
⇒ SPECTRAL CLASS
As a relative ability (and one that comes from her family line) Nicola also has a certain degree of control over the spectral plane too, described as "controlling magic that affects those that cannot be seen, and are tied to the humane plane". This is nowhere near as strong as her natural magic, the class she was born into, and as a result can only be tapped into during particularly powerful events (see natural class for examples).
⇒ EMPATHIC DETECTION
Her speciality (or "line" as it is referred to in this verse) is empathic detection, which basically means she can sense other magic users and what their own personal classes and lines are. Since this is tied to her natural connection, she's more and less accurate respectively depending on the time of month/year/her location etc. Sometimes she may just recognise a magic user, other times she basically has a full dossier of their whole capacity sitting comfortably in her mind.
⇒ ELEMENTAL MANIPULATION
Her natural class comes with an innate connection to the natural world, and with it a basic control of the four main elements of the natural plane. She hasn't put much work into refining this and as such is still at a basic level of manipulation, and her limits with each element would be:
‣AIR - capable of manipulating something similar to a small tornado, able to move objects no heavier than a heavyset adult male.
‣ WATER - able to draw moisture from the air and create at will, limited to around five litres when creating and double that when drawing from other sources. Can be frozen but she's limited to what her own strength dictates (
‣ EARTH - Her strongest elemental connection by a long shot. Able to shape and manipulate the surrounding landscape at will, can only work with an area around three metres squared at a time (so no levelling buildings). Can also grow stuff, so if she wants flowers to spring out of the ground after your every step that's totally within her abilities, but again is confined to the same area limitations.
‣ FIRE- she's not very good with fire at all. She has no ability to create at will and can only manipulate what is already in existence. She can use this ability to resist heat by slightly repelling it away from her, but has a radius limit of around a metre around her, so no fireballs being thrown around. Basically it's limited to a defensive move and little else.
⇒ HEALING
It's not her strongest ability by any means, but Nicola is capable of healing basic injuries and ailments through her connection to nature ( and sometimes with the aids of various herbs and poultices depending on the severity of the illness/injury). Anything life threatening is beyond her abilities, but broken bones, cuts that would require stitches, the flu, tonsilitis, that kind of thing is right up her alley.
⇒ DEATHLY CONNECTION
Nicola's spectral abilities translate into an ability to tap into recently deceased souls. There is a short window available, ranging from a few hours to up to a couple of weeks, and is basically limited by the individual. If they have left this world with unfinished business their soul is more likely to be tethered to this plane, and that gives Nicola her footing for contact. She can hold basic conversations, but not for long as this type of magic drains her reserves quickly. Unless there is an event or reason for her powers being amplified, she will struggle to continue past the half hour mark without exhibiting serious signs of exhaustion, and if pushed too far could well kill her. Fun.
