== Powers and Abilities ==
Witchcraft: According to Reverend Cotton Mather, the power of a witch is not only dependent on the source of their magic but also on their knowledge and training in witchcraft. While it appears that all witches obtain their magic from the Devil, not all witches have the same experience or expertise in the Dark Arts, nor do they share the same powers. According to Mather, the primary sources of power that almost all witches draw from are death and lust. Despite being a descendant of an important bloodline of witches, as deemed by Tituba, John rarely resorts to his powers for personal gains, basically using subterfuges to achieve a goal.
* Telekinesis: He proved to master his own witch powers since childhood when, following the death of his parents, he killed the judge by moving a dagger with the power of his mind and from quite a considerable distance.
* Teleportation: The distinctive feature of John's witchcraft is certainly teleportation, a variation of projection obtained through a disturbing mask that resembles his facial features and conventionally referred to as "Traveler's Mask." Through this enchanted object, he is able to move physically through great distances focusing solely on the power of his will. Although this power is activated through the use of a ritual object, it is noteworthy that John might be the creator of the mask, and therefore he has been able to infuse into it peculiar supernatural abilities.
* Potion Making: John is also a connoisseur of traditions and witchcraft from the Old Continent, collecting interesting tribal artifacts in his own house. His knowledge also exstends to herblore and potion brewing, as demonstrated by the use of valerian root as a deterrent against harmful witches, used as a protection for his daughter inside a locket or the poison given to Mab to ensure her death.
