### Major

*Voodoo Doll Abilities* (Major or Minor)

* Children of Rhapso are able to perform voodoo doll-like magic where they are able to choose a physical wound to inflict on a target using a sewn doll (in Ancient Greek, this would be a sewn form of a kolossoi) that represents the target. While these injuries are usually surface-level, with enough concentration and understanding of the power behind it, the injuries can become deep ones that may prove deadly. Another way the kolossoi could be used is to pick one injury someone has to have healed through wrapping the kolossoi with cloth. The wound must be a physical one and not something like a curse, poisoning, etc. The doll must be made with magic items so that it becomes the shape of the target to best inflict wounds on/heal them.
	+ Level 1-3: They can cause/heal small things like cuts and bruises
	+ Level 4-6: They can cause/heal bigger things, like slashes
	+ Level 7-8: They can cause/heal major, even near-fatal injuries, such as broken bones or deep wounds

*Strings on me* (Major or Minor)

* This power gives the ability to control creations made by children of Rhapso as if they were puppets on string. This works better on figures that have limbs and can move but it can also be used to make clothes they have made move to an extent.
* Level 1/1-3 At base level you can control your creation within a 5 foot radius of yourself, the movement is somewhat rudimentary but can be practiced and improved. This can only be done on one creation at a time and for a max time limit of half an hour, once a day
* Level 2/4-6 The range of motion and articulateness is increased and you can control 2 creations at a time, additionally your radius increases to 15 feet. Most importantly you can control the creation(s) for 3 hours at a time, once a day.
* Level 3/7-8 Your radius increases to 30 feet, and you can control your creation(s) for 5 hours at a time, once a day. But most importantly you can now make your creations infused with the same types of runes as the magic cloth ability. Only one can be applied per creation however and it must be infused upon creation. However this does require the magic rune ability to do

*The Weaver's Stitching* (Major/Moderate)

* Children of Rhapso have the ability of filu-belokinesis, control of needles and threads when the latter is pulled through the former. After the pair is formed, a demigod could move it telepathically at an outstanding speed and with exceptional dexterity.
	+ Level 1: A child of Rhapso can telepathically pull a thread through the eye of a needle five feet away from them, 2 needles at a time (The amount scales with level).
	+ Level 2-3: A child of Rhapso can telepathically use threaded needles as if they were sewing with them normally, up to 4 needles, at a 10 feet range. The demigod doesn't need to actively focus on the needles, and could instead just leave them to work in the background. There is a chance that the needles would go out of control if kept unsupervised, though.
	+ Level 4-5: A child of Rhapso can control up to 8 needles at a time at a 15 feet radius. The demigod can monetarily sew various fabrics and similar materials together, for example stitch the clothes of two people together, or tailor a person's clothes to restrict their movements. Takes one whole turn to stitch something simple like two sleeves together, two for larger surfaces.
	+ Level 6: A child of Rhapso can control up to 16 needles at a time at a 20 feet radius. The threads pulled through the needles, if the demigod so desires, could now turn ephemeral and become near infinite in length, but would vanish in 4 turns.
	+ Level 7: A child of Rhapso can control up to 24 needles at a time at a 25 feet radius. The demigod can quickly weave screens of fabric from threads available, for example: weave a screen sewn onto two trees that can act like a shield that would withstand 3 hits, or make a bridge, or cocoon a person. It would take 2 turns to complete the weaving, and if it's interrupted the process would have to be started from scratch.
	+ Level 8: A child of Rhapso can control up to 32 needles at a time at a 30 feet radius. The patterns on the weaved fabrics can now be so detailed and realistic that it can be mistaken for a real thing given the distance between the observer and the fabric is long enough.

* Overuse drawbacks: excessive sensations of prickling all around the body and increased touch sensitivity -> strong numbness in fingers -> increasing lack of movement control -> loss of consciousness

### Moderate

*Golden Thread of Life* (Moderate/Minor)

* These demigods can use a precious object of any given person or nature creature to produce a glowing golden thread that represents the person's life so far. The thread will be shorter for younger people. These threads will be unbreakable by physical means and will snap when someone dies. They can only have one active thread at a time.
* Level 1-2: It takes an hour to produce a thread, and it’ll last for a day before it loses its glow and thus its power.
* Level 3-4: It takes thirty minutes to produce a thread and its power lasts for two days.
* Level 5-6: It takes fifteen minutes to produce a thread and its power lasts for four days.
* *Threads glow* (Moderate/Minor) (Subpower)
	+ When the golden threads glow they hold some power. With practice the child of Rhaspo can do a few things with these.
	+ Level 1: they can hold the thread and know someone’s exact age, down to seconds. They’ll also know their godly parents if they’re a demigod.
	+ Level 2: They can also tell the place of birth down to the house number, and the mortal parent(s) of the person.
	+ Level 3: They are able to tell people’s magical abilities, and know exactly how the person uses them, but only the ones the person has used before the thread was summoned up.
	+ Level 4: they can tell about their main non magical abilities as well, and exactly how they use those.
	+ Level 5: They can get a feel for the overall mental well-being of the person. Spoiler alert most people are not alright in the slightest.
	+ Level 6: they can feel the exact emotions the person is feeling when they touch the thread. Warning you may feel crippling depression.

*Cloths Memory* (Moderate/Minor)

* These demigods can put on any clothing and tap into a memory of the person who wore it. The event they’re viewing must have happened while the person was wearing that specific article of clothing. At a higher level they can borrow knowledge and abilities gained while the other person was wearing the clothing. They cannot gain extra magic abilities, nope no way. They may use this ability once per day
* Level 1: they have a quick flashback of a completely random memory. It lasts for no longer than a minute and often is very out of context and confusing. They can only view memories that the person remembers well.
* Level 2: they can choose the type of memory they want to see. The flashback they get will last up to five minutes and everything will make some sense though major details may be missing. They can view memories that the person moderately remembers.
* Level 3: they can pick the exact memory and view it in full detail for up to ten minutes. They can view more hidden memories but nothing that is completely forgotten.
* Level 4: they can view memories that have been completely forgotten or even stolen. They also get slightly better at whatever skill the person they are borrowing the clothing of was best at.
* Level 5: they get moderately better at two skills and they can choose the general area of the skills (like battle, academic, stealth) but not the exact skill.
* Level 6: they can choose one skill and get as good at it as the person they’re wearing the clothes of.

### Minor

*Magic Cloth* (Minor)

* Children of Rhapso are able to sew fabrics and cloth into magical items such as clothing, capes, nets, etc. Such items are made magical by embroidering into the items magic symbols and runes that offer basic things such as invisibility, bullet-proof fabric strength, endless-storage pockets, and more. A more temporary form of this would be to do the same process as described above but with something like a marker that can be washed away or fade over time.
* Level 1: Children of Rhapso can give their creation one of these basic things. If they sew more symbols/runes into it, only the first one works
* Level 2: They can sew 2 of those runes/symbols
* Level 3: they can do 3. At this level, if they sew more, they will work, but a maximum of 3 work at a time

*Quick Change!* (Minor)

* These demigods magically change things about their outfit, and sometimes other peoples outfits. They can use this ability every couple of hours, and changes will always disappear within a couple of hours too.
* Level 1: they can change minor details on their own outfits, like summoning up a leather choker or getting rid of the fringe on a shirt.
* Level 2: they can change moderate aspects on their outfits and minor aspects on other outfits. At this level they could change the color of the design of a shirt, or the length of a skirt by a couple of inches.
* Level 3: they can change major aspects of their outfits and moderate aspects of others. Go wild, turn that shirt into a dress, change that skirt to be twice as bright.
* Minor Degree level: they can change major aspects of others outfits. You must ask permission before doing this to someone’s character.

*Red thread of Fate* (Minor)

* The story of the red thread of fate is a story of how two people who are destined for love have a thread tied to each other that may stretch or be tangled, but it shall never break. Children of Rhapso with this ability can make a weaker form of this thread if they themself and another person agree to have it connected between them. Each child with this ability can make multiple threads, but they can only have one exist at a time. The thread is invisible and like the story implies nothing can tear the thread physically, no sword, arrow, form of fire, and other powers can tear this thread. This one however is different from the true red thread as it can be torn if one of the two people connected to the string begin to argue, betray each other's trust, or attack another. The benefits of the string on the other hand, gives a temporary connection between two people. To end it early in a safe way both people must agree to be unbounded to each other, if it is ended early through betrayal though then the child of Rhapso will become 50% weaker and slower for an entire hour being left completely vulnerable.
* Level 1- The connection between the two people can allow them to feel what the other person is feeling both physically and emotionally. Lasts 5 turns
* Level 2- The connection can let them see what the other person sees and hear what they hear. Lasts 10 turns
* Level 3- The connection can let them speak to each other mentally without other people being able to hear them speak. As well as negate mind manipulation on both of the two people. Lasts 15 turns.
