Eliot Bane

**Eliot Bane** was a powerful witch, ally to Team Free Will, and temporarily romantic partner to Jack Kline.

## History

Eliot is a teenage boy who resides in Lebanon, Kansas, who has a slight interest in the Winchester brothers' mysterious ways, claiming to have heard a loud bang and shallow breathing coming from the trunk once. His friends do not believe his stories about the Winchesters. In secret, Eliot has discovered his abilities as a Natural Witch and has been reading about spells and rituals online though he didn't formally practice them much.

Standing outside the Lebanon Vista movie theater with his friends, Eliot begins talking about Sam and Dean and how mysterious they are around the town, and how he's seen and heard weird things around them. Stacy tells him to stop creeping Max out just as Sam and Dean pull up and park the Impala in front of the theater. Eliot continues speculating on where Sam and Dean come from, but continues to get blown off by his friends.

When Max decides to steal the Impala, Sam and Dean quickly confront Eliot, who only claims to know Max's first name. After his confrontation with Sam and Dean, Eliot races to find Max in order to warn them, but Sam and Dean soon show up claiming to be FBI and that his friend has stolen government owned property which Eliot finds to be hard to believe. In truth, the Winchesters were keeping a tied up Shtriga - an Albanian cursed Witch, in the trunk of the car. Thus, were desperate to get the Impala back to avoid the creature's release and the subsequent death of countless innocence. They reveal this to Eliot who, in a panic, chants a protection charm to shield Max from the witch beast that proved most needed as Max had already opened the trunk. This act revealed himself to be a witch and he later claimed it to be his first "real" spell he's ever tried.

After Sam and Dean kill the Shtriga, the Winchesters sit the pair down, and tell the truth about the supernatural to the teenagers and why they have to keep it a secret. Dean also suggests that Eliot lays low with the witchcraft and be careful as he advances stating that "Magic is like cocaine. Do it to much and you get addicted which leads down a very dark path". However, Eliot didn't follow this warning and continued to study only now with the confidence to practice spells albeit in controlled circumstances.

The Winchester brothers, in need of a witch, goes to Eliot and requests his assistance in a hunting mission with Eliot excitingly agreeing before telling his parents he would go away on a weekend trip with Max as a covering lie. During this experience, it is obvious how much Eliot's witching abilities have advanced being able to take on monsters.

He accompanies the Winchesters to attend the wake of a fellow hunter where he listened to stories of the hunters. However, during the night, the demon Jael, enters the house warding it before possessing one of the hunters and cutting the throat of the man next to Eliot, terrifying him. The others realize that the demon is possessing each of them in turn. When, one of the hunters attempts to leave the home, he is repelled backward by a flash of light which Eliot reveals that the entrances are warded, preventing anyone from leaving. As the group of hunters try to formulate a plan of action and find out who Jael is possessing, Jael reveals himself, taunting the group before smoking out of the body and retreating up the fireplace. Mary Winchester makes a deal with the reaper Billie in order to dispell the warding which leads to everyone inside the house including Eliot to flee before Castiel arrives and stabs Billie in the back preventing her from getting a Winchester soul.

Max and Eliot later meet Jack when he goes shopping at the mini-mart where Max works. Eliot is watching the Ghostfacers, and clearly finds them impressive with him beginning to bond with the Nephilim over monsters and magic with Eliot claiming to be far more advanced in the witching arts stating "I've done alot of reading. I'm finally in control of my own power now". After Jack's attempt to buy beer fails, Eliot invites Jack to hang out with them later at an old farmhouse.

At the farmhouse, Max is studying for the SATs while Eliot is reading a book on elemental Magic, when Jack arrives carrying a load of lore books from the Bunker. As Jack questions Max about the music they are listening to, Elliot questions Jack about how demons look. Whic he reveals they don't have horns and look like smoke, and can possess anyone, and tells them he has killed a demon a few times. In a bid to impress Eliot, he pulls out an Angel blade and tries to show him how to throw it into a tree, but misses despite a very large number of repeated attempts. Finally, Jack uses his powers to show off, sending the blade first into the tree and then, after retrieving it, causing it to fly around in the air. As the weapon zips around them, Eliot joins in with the telekinetic fun and levitates books from a pile.
However, while Jack is distrated looking at Eliot, Max steps into the path of the blade and is pierced deeply in her abdomen which causes Eliot to lose focus thus dropping the books and running over to his friend. Instead of trying to call 911, Eliot attempts a healing spell but is subsequently knocked out from the effort when Jack intervenes, uses his power to heal Max and drag both the unconscious bodies onto the couch for them to rest while he watches over Eliot.

When Eliot wakes up, he immediately goes to see if Max is okay which they are and then together they confront a guilt riddled Jack crying in a corner. Feeling sorry for him, they decide to "forgive and forget" though Max is still cautious around Jack.

After a night of bonding over demonlogy and the occult under the starlight, Eliot kisses Jack on the mouth who while shocked intiially leans into the intimacy. Before things could develop further, Jack abruptly stands up and walks to the bathroom saying "excuse me" as he got up. Inside the bathroom, he calls Dean Winchester and requests to know "everything" about sex greatly confusing the Winchester.

### Innate Powers

In the beginning, he was a fairly novice Natural witch possessing an average amount of Magical strength being only able to summon 2 out of the four basic elements which were; air and fire.

When casting a spell, a notable hallmark was nearby sources of fire, such as candles, intensifying or causing fireplaces to blaze. Eliot's first “real” spell was that of a protection charm in order to shield his friend Max from the attack of a Shtriga which proved capable of warding off the he-beast.

Eliot has knowledge of “forcefield spells” most commonly “Veras nos ex malom. Terra mora vantis quo, per vasa errum”. Which places a field of purple energy over a point of ingress or egress to seal off a room. In doing so, he hovers his hand while dragging it through the air.

He mentioned to Jack an attempt to communicate with the spirit world which he claimed it’s “like being pulled apart inside” which resulted in an uncontrolled release of energy knocking out power for an entire street.

One of his most notable abilities was Telekinesis displaying the capability to levitate or move small objects, accomplish trivial means such as opening and shutting doors, telekinetically flinging books off a shelf, as well as use this offensively by forcefully shoving people away from himself without making physical contact, and etc.

Eliot was quite proficient with aerokinetic spells being able to summon powerful gusts of wind and even shape it into a projectile torrent to attack an enemy. With a gesture of his hand, Elijah illuminated the symbols of the warding spell that Jael engraved in the inner walls of his home in order to keep the Winchesters locked inside. However, despite his best efforts, he was unable to counter such magicks.

Later, after more practice and theoretical study, Eliot has increased both his skill and raw level of power becoming a formidable young witch. He can now summon and manipulate all four elements to varying degrees; for example - Eliot has called out to nearby sources of water such as turning hoses on or taps, manipulating both flames and temperature for instance often creating walls of fire to protect himself or contain others, heating up objects to the point they become to hot to touch, boiling water, or respectively manipulating electricity in its basic form to cause lights to flicker or to disrupt cellular reception, as well as drawing air out from lungs causing one to suffocate though he doesn't like to do so.

Eliot also learnt of a Teleportation spell; “Es Tas Transum Viso”. Allowing him to physically transfer himself and whoever is touching him from one location to the next which he typically accompanies with closing his eyes and imagining the location in his head before opening them again now at the aforementioned place. Despite, successfully completing the spell, Eliot suffered a nose bleed and severe fatigue from the spell with headaches following.

His level of telekinesis has increased in its potency with him now being able to break the bones of others which includes snapping their necks (with the right spell). He could also generate telekinetic blasts powerful enough to stun, wound, or even kill his enemies. He could also project these blasts over a wide range to strike several opponents simultaneously.

One of his most powerful feats were causing the sky to turn dark thus blocking out the sun, creating powerful gusts of wind like a hurricane, and summoning thunder. It should be noted that he accomplished this by subconsciously drawing celestial energy from Jack Kline’s seed which temporarily augmented his powers and made him heal faster.

He has also demonstrated the ability to psychically inflict massive amounts of pain onto others by gesturing towards them which was stated to be “magical migraines” bordering on aneurysm. A more powerful feat seen was him inducing magical cardiac arrest effectively killing any mortal.

Eliot's use of boundary spells has also improved now using a much quicker, on the draw, spell AKA “Angustos in via!”. In his likely most powerful feat of raw witchcraft, he managed to kill a Crossroad demon with no incantation or object solely through a emotionally charged scream though he stated that he could no longer accomplish such a feat unless he experiences an equally powerful emotional outburst.
