Nakor - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

Though he is a magician of considerable ability, Nakor insists that all magic is merely trickery, his favorite saying being "it's just a trick."

A large portion of Nakor's knowledge may have been endowed to him by the Codex of Wodar Hospur, and in exchange for it, he was rendered mad for a good part of his life, which explains his eccentric nature. This artifact, thought lost for centuries, is supposed to contain every known fact in the world. He turned it over to the temple of Ishap during the Serpentwar Saga.

Most mysterious and significant of all is Nakor’s seemingly prophetic insights. Possibly due to his time with the Codex of Wodar Hospur or the god fragment within him Nakor is very rarely wrong, and has shown considerable foresight that allows him to prepare for situations and bring them to their best possible ending.

If it were not for his insights and meddling, characters such as Ralan Bek, Talon of the Silver Hawk, Nicholas ConDoin, Borric and Erland ConDoin, Calis, Tad, Zane, Jommy and even Pug himself would have never reached their full potential. The Conclave of Shadows was also formed on his initiative.

His most foreboding prediction given to Pug is that of all the people involved with the Conclave of Shadows, that in the end it would be down to Pug and Tomas to set things right. He also told Caleb that even though he lacked any magical power or extraordinary ability, that Caleb in his own way is as vital and as powerful as his parents and his brother Magnus and that he only needed to have confidence in himself and trust in his judgment.

He also shows a remarkable ability to manipulate others containing God Fragments, including calming Ralan Bek's violent and often murderous urges, helping the unknowing fragment of the Good Goddess come into power, and most significantly when he effortlessly plucked the fragment of Nalar from Leso Varen thus killing him - a feat that even Pug and the whole of the Conclave of Shadows could not accomplish. He used this fragment to stop a Dread Lord and seal the gate to the lower plane behind it. During this time Nakor's body was dead though his spirit still animated his body, which protected him from Leso Varen's necromancy.
