Some members of the House of Karn have Elidhu blood, and as such their skill, proficiency, and raw power at Bardic Magic and Magery is extremely high. Therefore Maerad has immense magical strength, which she has used in several feats, as listed below:

  • Created a living lion from a rock (never before done by a mortal);
  • Changed a Hull into a rabbit when attacked;
  • Held up against an attack from a pureblood Elidhu, the Landrost;
  • Sang a stormdog to tranquility (technically not magic, but remarkable for its rarity);
  • Aided in the creation of powerful magics that were impossible before her arrival;
  • Seen through the Illusory Veil cast by Arkan the Winterking;
  • Located her brother Hem in the Valverras Waste;
  • Killed a Kulag, which is a large, monstrous beast;
  • Simultaneously defeated several Hulls, wers, and a Wight of the Abyss single-handedly;
  • Can speak Annaren, the Bardic Speech, and the language of the Elidhu;
  • Under the encouragement of Ardina, has learned to alter her shape, spending several days as a member of a wolf pack in order to escape from the Winterking.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:

    Religion differs from magic in that it is not concerned with control or manipulation of the powers confronted. Rather it means submission to, trust in, and adoration of, what is apprehended as the divine nature of ultimate reality.
    Joachim Wach (1898–1955)

    At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths—your abilities and your failings.
    Gérard Depardieu (b. 1948)
