Abilities
Koboi is noted as having an IQ of 300. In 'The Time Paradox' she is discovered to be illegally harvesting animal brain fluid and body parts and using their potency to augment her magical abilities; she is able to levitate unaided, release concussive energy waves, conjure fireballs (a gift only goblins are mentioned as having), and has acute mind control, much more powerful than the standard mesmer; she is also able to absorb memories, wiping Mulch Diggums' mind clean of all the events of 'The Time Paradox' in the process; she also seeks out the silky sifaka lemur Jayjay as his brain fluid would allow her to time travel, an ability only the demon warlocks Qwan and No1 are able to use. On top of this, she is able to use remote psychokinesis on such a level that she is able to mimic the complex symptoms of the fairy disease Spelltropy perfectly, fooling even Foaly's sensors into believing Artemis' mother has actually contracted the disease. When she is shot with a tranquilliser dart by Artemis Fowl, she inadvertently conjures several images by projecting them through manipulating magical sparks and marshalling them into recognisable shape, again a power only Qwan and No1 are noted as having. Finally, she prizes her ability to shoot lightning bolts from her fingertips; however, it requires a lot of magic and great concentration to muster them.
