Powers and Resistances of the Norse Pantheon (Riordanverse)

Here I will document the powers and resistances of Giants and Gods, two godly races from the Norse Pantheon of the Magnus Chase series. 
=Jotnar/Giants=
The Jötnar (Old Norse "Devourers" or "Eaters"; pronounced "YOT-nar"; singular Jötunn, pronounced "YO-tun") are a tribe of primordial beings that inhabit the lands of Niflheim, Muspellheim and Jotunheim. The most well-known Jötnar are the Frost, Fire, Earth, and Mountain Jötnar, however, several other types also exists. They derive from the same family as the Aesir and Vanir, but personify wild, chaotic, primordial forces and often interact with the other gods (both the Aesir and the Vanir tribes), usually in hostile ways, but there have been instances of intermarriage between these tribes.
==Superhuman Physical Characteristics==
==Immortality (type 2)==
Type 2: Giants can continue to fight despite injuries such as being harpooned in the gutsSword of Summer, Chapter 64 or having an ax stuck in their sideHammer of Thor, Chapter 52.
 
Loki, one of most powerful giants, hadn't severely weakened after having boiling acid dripped onto his face multiple times over the course of a thousand yearsHammer of Thor, Chapter 49Hammer of Thor, Chapter 53. 
==Enhanced Senses==
They can see through camouflage of a swan cloak in their turf9 from Nine Worlds, Jotunheim, My Eighth-Grade Physics Actually Comes in Handy by Samirah al-Abbas. 
 
==Magic==
Giants are magic by natureSword of Summer, Chapter 24Sword of Summer, Chapter 55. 
==Illusion Creation, Perception Manipulation and Madness Manipulation (type 3) with Glamour==
Giants are experts at glamour, they can effortlessly manipulate people's perceptionsSword of Summer, Chapter 24
 
It was said that looking through the glamour and mists could drive a mortal insaneHammer of Thor, Chapter 33. In order for a mortal to see the mythical world as it is, to stretch her/his mind without breaking it, her/his eyes must be opened permanently by magical means. 
 
==Size Manipulation and Reality Warping==
Many giants (like Geirrod and his daughtersSword of Summer, Chapter 55, fire giants9 from Nine Worlds, Muspellheim, I Play Fire by Alex Fierro, mountain giantsHammer of Thor, Chapter 39 and jotun deities/sea giantsShip of Dead, Chapter 8) can change their size.
 
They can also change the proportions of an entire buildingHammer of Thor, Chapter 39Ship of Dead, Chapter 8.
 
==Resistance to Extreme Cold==
Various giants of different species were unaffected by the cold of the Niflheim-Jotunheim border, the coldest place in NiflheimShip of Dead, Chapter 41. 
 
Even high summer temperatures in Niflheim are around - 30 degrees FahrenheitHotel Valhalla: Guide to the Norse Worlds, What in the Worlds.
 
However, fire giants probably do not have this resistance, as Loki thinks it is unlikely that a fire giant would come to Nifleheim, even for Ragnarok.
==Resistance to Madness Manipulation (type 3)==
They can look through glamour without going insane. 
=Norse Gods=
The Norse Gods are a pantheon of deities central to all accounts of Norse mythology. The principal pantheon of the Norse gods consists of the Aesir (pronounced 'AYE-seer', traditionally spelled Æsir), who are connected to war and conflict, while a second pantheon comprises the Vanir (pronounced 'Vah-NEER'), who are associated with nature and fertility. In Norse mythology, the two clans waged war against each other, ultimately resulting in the eventual unification of the two pantheons.
==Jotunn Powers==
It is stated that most gods have a decent amount of jotunn blood in them and the line between giant and god is always blurredSword of Summer, Chapter 35. Therefore, they should have at least some of the powers that all jotuns have.
 
==Immortality (type 2 and 8)==
Type 2: Even though Odin was hung from Ygdrasil while his side was pierced by Gungnir for 9 days and nights, he did not dieSword of Summer, Chapter 48. They should be comparable to giants, their annoying relatives. 
Type 8: Annabeth figured out that all gods are real and will continue to live as long as people remember their storiesHammer of Thor, Chapter 5.
 
==limited Age Manipulation with apples of immortality==
By eating an apple of Idunn, they can become younger up to about 25 years oldSword of Summer, Chapter 35. 
 
 
==Teleportation==
The minor Gods who came to listen to Surtr's speech teleported away when Alex gave them a speech about even though her side aren't destined to win they will fight with honor to the end9 from Nine Worlds, Muspellheim, I Play Fire by Alex Fierro. HelSword of Summer, Chapter 54, NjordShip of Dead, Chapter 11 and the FearHammer of Thor, Chapter 40 also showcased this ability. 
 
==Life Manipulation==
Kvasir, God of Wisdom and living peace treaty of Aesir-Vanir War, was born from saliva of the Aesir and VanirShip of Dead, Chapter 13. 
 
==Transmutation and Corruption==
Gods transformed Vali into a bloodthirsty wolfSword of Summer, Chapter 46. 
 
The oldest Gods, Odin, Vili, and Ve, transformed Ymir's body parts into the earth, sky, seas, and so onHotel Valhalla: Guide to the Norse Worlds, What in the Worlds. 
==Enhanced Magic==
They placed a spell on Loki's bonds to prevent him from manifesting fragments of his essence solid enough to wield a magical weaponHammer of Thor, Chapter 3. 
 
==Sealing==
Magnus Chase said that as they approached Loki's cave, it felt as if the earth itself was fighting them and trying to push them backHammer of Thor, Chapter 50. Loki said that the gods sealed her and Sigyn in the cave, so the reason it's difficult to penetrate the ground near the cave likely because the gods magically sealed them.
==Resistance to Extreme Heat and Fire Manipulation==
Some minor gods (for example: Lofn, Goddess of Arranged Marriages; Snotra, Goddess of Prudence and Self-discipline; Forseti, God of Justice etc.) and Thor were unaffected by the heat and the fires of Muspelheim9 from Nine Worlds, Muspellheim, I Play Fire by Alex Fierro. 
 
==Resistance to Extreme Cold==
The highly diluted cider made from Idunn's apples can increase the endurance of Magnus Chase and his friends enough to withstand the cold of NiflheimShip of Dead, Chapter 39.
 
==Resistance to Madness Manipulation (type 3)==
Goddesses like Ran can look through glamour without going insaneSword of Summer, Chapter 34.
