Absinthe held an energy orb before her, the pure white ball hovering above her hand as she tapped her cheek with her free finger.
"I am lacking in attacks to keep others away." she'd say to herself, moving the orb around as she tried to think of a way to use the energy.
She had weapons for close combat, a rather large beam to try and finish someone off...and finally a distraction. There was a ton of room for something new. Even...maybe the most basic of moves. A ki blast. Ahhhh but, she was indecisive. A beam or an orb? Which suited her better?
Absinthe would glance into a mirror, looking at herself with the orb and trying to judge if it was something suited to her. Orbs were cute. Little round things were fun.
She tried to imagine a beam.
Less cute. More devastating, perhaps.
But not cute.
"Orb it is." Absinthe would decide, turning to aim at an empty space in order to no cause any destruction around her. Using more energy, she'd fill the orb with power in order to make it more damaging before pausing once more.
"An attack name? What can I call you? Perhaps...a bubble? Bubble blast...bubble trouble...Bubble...Blast? Bubble Shot? That's kinda cute."
Refocused on the attack, Absinthe would point her open palm forward, blasting the orb out into an empty clearing.
"Bubble Shot~!"
How embarrassing to be taken out with Bubble Shot.

Bubble Shot- Absinthe fires a Ki orb that does 10% of her PL.

Some time ago she had remastered magic but had neglected to create a spell from her discovery of healing. Since she'd already done most of the work, at this point it was just revisiting it and figuring out the output.
Visiting and infirmary, Absinthe would casually go to the back somewhere where workers wouldn't see her. Looking down at the patient, it seemed his injuries weren't too terrible. He was out, but, his injuries were all fixable. Nothing permanent here.
She would raise her hand and hover it above the man's chest, where it seemed most of the injuries were. From there, a soft glow would emit from her hand and a soothing warmth would spread across the man's body.
Little by little, the wounds would close up and bruises would disappear. His consciousness however...nothing. But he looked more comfortable now, whatever may have happened.
Absinthe would watch him quietly before excusing herself, no one the wiser about her mysterious visit.

Rejuvenate- Absinthe can heal superficial wounds! Fractures and breaks cause -5% PL and she cannot cure poison or sickness.

After finding that many beings empowered themselves further by energizing, Absinthe felt she needed such a skill as well. She'd grown fonder of the use of Ki as of late, so it would be beneficial to reach new heights for a time.
"It should be similar to gathering the energy to create an attack, I think."
As such, she began by feeling for the flow of ki within herself, letting it build up specifically at her core. She hadn't quite figured out how to disperse the power within herself yet, but, at the very least gathering it up in one spot should be simple enough. And it was! In no time, Absinthe had amassed energy at her chest, holding her hands in front of it to shape and control it.
Now then...where does it go? She felt its strength...but it was still apart from her.
The energy flared out of those who powered up. With that, it would seem she was supposed to absorb it perhaps, but push it out through her entire being.
Closing her eyes, the concentration of energy would slowly be aimed in five directions. Down towards each leg, across her shoulders into each arm, and then upwards towards her head.
After a moment to feel ready, Absinthe would let it flow in a quick burst, her energy flaring around her. She felt a shiver of exhilaration crawl up her spine before looking down at her arms then body. How splendid!

Absinthe would take some time alone as she pondered once more the prophecy she was told. Now that she had some down time, it became clear what manner of power gaps she was looking at.
She had no trouble sensing power. Hades, for example, took a lot of sensing 'room'. How long would it take her to reach something like that..? She couldn't remember if it was similar to the power she needed to achieve. Perhaps she could ask him for advice.
Her eyes trailed about the coliseum, brows furrowing briefly as she noted that...some warriors did not seem to have any power at all. WARRIORS. With no output of a power level? That made very little sense.
Squinting her eyes more in concentration, Absinthe would continue to watch. Maybe the suffocating energy output from Hades was making it harder for her to focus on smaller ones. It had never been an issue before and she hardly felt overwhelmed...but she WAS different now.
Also she could sense energies from others.
Just not those three warriors off on their own.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, she'd see it. A flicker of energy once one of their comrades startled them.
Ah. Suppression then? Before it was pushed away again, Absinthe had clearly sensed their power.
Now that she knew what to look for, she continued to scan the warriors until she could push past the barrier of sorts. Like a thick wall blocking a signal, if you will. The more she focused, the more the wall seemed to become more of a glass window. She could 'see' the power but not quite feel it. Like seeing snow outside but not being touched by the cold. You're aware of it, but you're not affected.
It felt weird...but now she could see past some deception.

Following her...training? with Zephyr, Absinthe was given a new idea. She did want to have a means to protect herself as well as others, so, creating a shield bubble was her next plan.
As much as she was fascinated with using qi, magic may be the better direction for an ability such as this. If anything she felt better about her ability to use it on others where as using qi felt a lot more personal.
Clutching her staff in a comforting and familiar way, Absinthe would smile over to it before looking in front of her. In some ways it made her feel more confident. It gave her a bit of a conduit, too.
Pointing the staff towards a passing turtle, Absinthe would start to slowly formulate a bubble of pure energy around it. Without hardening it yet, she'd practice resizing it to accommodate larger amounts of people as well as taller. She'd bite her bottom lip in concentration, getting a feel for it before finally closing her eyes and trying to create an energy that would stop outside forces from entering.
Once she thought she had it, she'd add an additional little surprise.
Electrocution.
Grabbing a stick, she'd toss it at the shield and watch it touch the surface, stick to it, and then sparks flew all over the place before it fell to the ground nice and crispy.
She'd fire a ki blast at it after and it would hit the surface before dissipating.
"Excellent. It's working as intended." she'd nod.
However...
Her eyes would glance down at the slow moving turtle. Would it be able to leave unharmed? Or would it get electrocuted as it passed through, considered an outside object trying to get in?
She watched with some concern...but apparently not enough to stop it. The turtle would walk through....
Zap!
A bolt would hit into it, causing the animal to quickly retract into it's shell as the bolt sent it flying off into the distance. Absinthe would watch a moment, catch it with telekinesis...then gently bring it back down to the surface.
"Understood. Do not exit the shield."
She could try to fix it...but honestly she wasn't sure how. So it would just have to remain as is.
----
Voltaic Protection- Absinthe covers a target area with a shield bubble able to protect against her PL+20% in power. It shields against ki and maigc, and physical attacks cause the shield to unleash an electrical charge that does her PL+10%. You can leave the shield but it will hit you with the electrical charge.

Playing attendant for the Rho boy proved more entertaining than she thought. Better still, she was able to learn and watch combat-related things. Mostly he was always fighting his golem but she'd maybe-totally spied up when he met with another Rhosian girl.
A counter-attack was the gist of what she'd learned there. Not a bad idea!
Seeing as she wasn't terribly skilled with head-on assaults yet, having a way around it was a must. Can't be saved like a damsel! Well. Not all the time, anyway.
Using her staff, Absinthe would start to trace a head-sized circle in front of herself, then, as if copy-pasting it, she'd move an identical one over next to it. When she'd look through the first circle, she'd be able to see the scenery behind her. Good, looks like it worked.
With her hand, she'd reach in and smile as she saw it exit out of the other circle back towards her.
A portal.
So long as she positioned them right and fast enough, she could redirect an attack.
The rest of the day she took the time to practice creating them, looking to make both almost instantaneously.

Magic Portals- Absinthe can instantaneously create two portals- one as an entrance, the other as an exit elsewhere. It does no damage on its own.

It was time.
She could no longer avoid it.
There may be a time...heaven forbid...that she must strike someone. Physically.
In a scenario where her staff was unavailable and her powers perhaps waned...a physical attack would be necessary. Should she not be able to create her spectral weapons? Punched and kicks.
Oh dear.
Testing the waters, Absinthe would glance around before sending a punch through the air. It lacked...finesse. Really it was more of a swipe at the air lacking....hm...conviction.
She wasn't scared of the pain. She just...didn't want to touch things. That's why she floated about so much. Something about having to touch things felt so uncomfortable. Not ALL things, granted. But enough things. Best avoid it.
She'd send a kick next, her skirt flapping up from the height she managed. This one was she pleased with. A good boot to something didn't feel as overwhelming.
Absinthe would start there. A mighty kick. The mightiest, even. Or perhaps the mostest?
Like a women crawling out of street fighter, Absinthe would continue to kick at the air, slowly gaining speed as she kicked at varying heights. Fast as lightning!! This could easily overwhelm an opponent!
A name. It needed a name!
"Thousand Stars."
That's what they'll be seeing!

Thousand Stars- Absinthe unleashes a flurry of kicks at different heights dealing 20% PL!
