Divine Sensing Magic:
This is her main magic, even though it does not have any stats. Like every mage, Teresa is able to sense magic in the air. She always did have an uncanny knack for it though. From a very young age she was capable of sensing dormant energy and ‘predicting’ movement. One could say it is her specialty and all her magic is based upon it. Of course being talented is great, but being a talent with fifteen hundred years to perfect her craft has left her extraordinarily capable.
That is actually a very good thing as Teresa herself has very little magic. In fact even after such a long life span, she barely has enough magic to classify her as powerful witch. In perspective: if she would only use her own power, she would barely be able to cast a single B ranked spell. However she can compensate.
Magic is a living thing, all around us. Every living being excretes it unconsciously. Only a droplet each, but combine all living things together and all those droplets form the ocean that is the magic current spanning all around the world. Teresa can sense the magic around her and draw it in to mix with her own magic. Even if both don’t seem a lot, a bit of water and sand can be used to make cement. This has several drawbacks of course.
- Magic does not flow back easily in drained area’s. Like a river trying to fill a gigantic reservoir. It takes time, which in combat is not there. So to keep utilizing her magic, Teresa constantly needs to be on the move.
- Soot will fill the void left by the absorbed magic. If strong and big enough, soot could cancel out magic.
Now of course Teresa has had a lot of experience using this kind of magic and usually can circumvent draining an area completely of soot or running out in the middle of combat. If that were to happen though she would be in a very tough spot indeed, with her limited magic resources. Of course places that have a lot of demonic energy also process a problem. Demonic energy is quite different from magical aether and Teresa has problems absorbing it. Even worse, absorbing to much would poison and eventually kill her.
Which is why she has focused on becoming a skilled swordsman and keeps that skill set very much alive and practiced. Just in case.

Here are a few of the things she can do:
Radar Magic:
If she focuses she can sense the whereabout of all living things with pin point accuracy in an area of several kilometers around her. Of course there bigger the magical powers the easier it is to locate. On the other hand suppressed or hidden magics are much more difficult to sense.
She has learned to infuse this feeling into a 3d map. Well map, basically it is an empty sphere with lots of colored dots, as she can’t sense trees or rocks or houses. It will give
- Sense up to three hundred sources simultaneously
- Identify them to species/names
- Show this in a 3D map.
- Add a sense of the size of the power. IE bigger magic sources are bigger and have more vibrant colors.
Identify Magic:
Every magic is build on primary aspects. One could say elements, you could argue even deeper constructs. Teresa has learned over the many hundreds of years to distinguish and identify the magics. It allows her in a way to learn new magic rapidly, but also identify which kind of magic a user is most likely to use. She is not always right and she can’t identify the more intricate magics. Usually she can identify simple magics though, like fire or summon magic.
- Allows her to ‘guess’ which magic somebody uses.
- She can mimic simpler spells more easily.
Absorption Magic:
- She can draw in the magic around her to supplement her on magic.
- She can theoretically manipulate the “soot” in such a way, enemy attacks lose strength
