Sorceress of Castle Grayskull - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

The Sorceress possesses a vast array of magical and spellcasting abilities, and is considered the most powerful magic-wielder on modern Eternia. Some spells she performs on a regular basis, including transforming into the falcon Zoar.

She is perhaps most noted for projecting her telepathic image to others, especially He-Man. Her telepathy is very powerful, as she can contact He-Man across great distances as well as sense the thoughts, emotions, and motives of others.

According to the episode "Teela's Triumph", the Sorceress can look into both the past and the future. She frequently uses a mystic mirror within Castle Grayskull to keep watch over current events on Eternia.

The Sorceress can also teleport herself and others across vast distances, and in the episode "The Cosmic Comet", she temporarily grants He-Man the ability to fly.

Other times she exhibits telekinesis, as well as the ability to project images, create fire, and to produce magical shields.

She often serves as a deus ex machina, either by teleporting characters who are in dire straits or using her powers to augment those of He-Man, thus saving the day.

In the 2002 series, the powers of the Sorceress are altered slightly. The three principal differences include:

• The power to fly in human form
• The tendency to focus her spells through a mystic staff
• When using magic, her eyes often emit a golden light
