Avengaean Functional Magic

A wide-ranging ability to wield magic to just about any practical purpose. Though innate, practice is necessary to become truly skilled.

Focus

The ability to speed up her body, mind, and perception of time so that she can do more in a moment than is otherwise physically possible. To her, the world appears slowed. To others, the world is normal but she moves incredibly fast.

Seedling Reproduction

Every few years, the dragon's gemlike scales bloom into flowery structures. If they contract the pollen of another seedling-capable dragon, they could very well become "pregnant", regardless of the dragon's actual sex.

Shapeshifting (Human)

The ability to shapeshift into a human form that retains the coloration of their natural shape.

Psionics

The ability to use mental-based powers such as telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. All asandae have latent psionics but not all practice the skills. Mages tend to cultivate their psionics as they help with more complex manipulations of functional magic.

Verbal Speech

The ability to communicate in spoken words.

Water Magic

The ability to wield magic related to creating and controlling water. Bali can only manipulate amounts of about a gallon or less.

Ozionali moves through the world with practiced boldness that doesn't always sit naturally on her shoulders. She's quick with a clever remark and has a knack for nudging conversations in her favor, often relying on instinct rather than planning. She enjoys the feeling of having influence, of steering outcomes with well-placed words, but she's still learning how to carry that power without tripping over it. When something falters, her confidence wavers fast, though she works hard to hide it. Beneath the opportunism is a conscience that won't quite quiet down. She wants to be effective, impressive, capable -- but she also wants to be good, and she's still figuring out how to balance those impulses without disappointing herself.

With Ix, Ozionali softens more than she expects to. His emotional transparency makes it harder for her to hide behind performance, and over time she finds it strangely relieving. Where she hesitates to admit doubt, he speaks his aloud, which in turn gives her permission to loosen her grip on control. She grounds him when his thoughts spiral too far inward, offering practical perspective instead of dramatic reassurance. In turn, he notices when her bravado slips and treats it gently rather than exposing it. Their bond works because neither demands perfection: he gives her space to fumble without judgment, and she gives him steadiness when his intensity threatens to swallow him whole.
