Abra-Melin

Abra-Melin was an Egyptian philosopher and spellcaster who was one of the teachers of Abraham the Jew, being idolised by the latter. Spence, L. (1920). An Encyclopædia of Occultism. 2 ed. pg. 1
== Life ==
What is known about Abra-Melin is in the context of his interactions with his pupil, Abraham. The two met in Egypt, where Abra-Melin gave him a number of documents and taught him some secrets of magic that were not written down (until Abraham and his son later did so). 
== Abilities ==
It can be assumed that Abra-Melin could cast many of the same spells as Abraham, seeing as he is supposedly the one who taught them to him. The method for casting these spells used a kabbalistic letter-square, except where there was not enough space in a square for a particular spell. Spence, L. (1920). An Encyclopædia of Occultism. 2 ed. pg. 2
These spells include ones to invoke visions, control familiars (even those not bound to him), create storms, raise the dead, allow him to shapeshift, allow him to fly, demolish buildings, discover the identity of thieves, survive underwater, and cure a number of ailments.
