Gravity Manipulation

Wheke Ika do not experience physical difficulties when swiftly or suddenly adjusting to variable pressure levels within their habitat. They function the same in the shallows as in the crushing deep. This is a passive effect. As an additional, active effect, they are capable of altering their buoyancy for easier surface or land travel. This effect appears similar to telekinesis, but it is not.

Sympathetic Link

Bonds that can be formed with a Wheke Ika's favored ones, if it so desires. Allows the exchange of emotions over distance, and gives the bonded individuals access to the Wheke Ika's innate water magic and gravity manipulation abilities, as well as telepathy, if they do not already possess it.

Ice Magic

The ability to wield magic related to creating and controlling ice.

Telepathy

The ability to communicate mind-to-mind. Not commonly used in pods exclusively of Wheke Ika, as their songs are a more nuanced form of language, but rare are the outsiders that can mimic or sing it.

Teleportation

The ability to teleport anywhere within sight or that can be strongly visualized in the mind.

Underwater Breathing

The ability to breathe underwater.

Water Magic

Wheke Ika have extensive control over the element of water. They passively filter and adjust their surrounding salt content so that any body of water can become an appropriate home. They can use it to swim faster, or slow foes, or aid themselves with movement on the surface, or any number of other forms of water control.

Vorrim's song name couldn't possibly be less reflective of her views. She's cynical and skeptical, believing hard-work and diligence is the only way to achieve one's goals. Wishing for things is a frivolous venture. There's no sense sitting around waiting for something to happen when she could be taking action instead. She doesn't believe in altruism - everyone acts according to their own wishes, selfishness is inherent. It's a dog-eat-dog (or fish eat fish) world, and Vorrim won't be caught unawares. Vorrim also has a morbid fascination with death and the concept of afterlives. She doesn't believe in one herself, but she finds others' beliefs fascinating.
