### Arcane Power

Her ability revolves around gravity manipulation, allowing her to manipulate and make gravitons, as well as alter the gravity of anything she touches. She is also capable of standing and walking upside down from ceilings.

She can bend gravity to make the environment very “heavy” or “light”, cause objects to “fall” toward another object instead of the earth (“nexus inducing”), flatten objects, and generate miniature black holes to compress objects into oblivion. They can repel and attract matter and energy regardless of its mass or move objects in a manner similar to telekinesis.
