Magnum Opus

**Magnum Opus** is a power that is related to the usage of poison. It is the power of Blake Sinclair.

## Overview

Blake has the ability to produce and control poison. She can create and emit poisons such as pain-inducing, disorienting, nausea, sleeping, paralyzing, or lethal poisons from any part of her body in both liquid and gaseous states. One of the most remarkable aspects of her power is the ability to regulate the toxicity level of the poison she creates. She can increase or decrease the level of lethality depending on the situation.

Blake is immune to all types of poisons, including the ones she creates herself. Her control over poison is incredibly precise, allowing her to use it offensively and defensively with ease. She can produce needle-like projectiles made of poison and shoot them at her opponents with deadly precision. She can also create claws of solidified liquid poison that can corrode and cut through anything, making her a formidable hand-to-hand combatant.

Defensively, she can create a poisonous fog that not only serves as a smoke screen but also allows her to launch hidden attacks as well as cause various effects to enemies. She can also create razor-sharp solidified liquid poison webs to cut through anything and bind or capture enemies. In addition, Blake can form poison clones that she can send out to gather information on enemy locations, strengths, and weaknesses. These clones can also act as decoys to distract enemies and can be used for group attacks.

Blake can transform her body into a poisonous gas or liquid to avoid physical-based attacks, making her nearly invulnerable to any physical attacks. Her gas form allows her to float, fly, and move through solid objects. Her liquid form also allows her to move through solid objects, morph and stretch her body, extend her limbs, and propel herself to cover large distances.

## Techniques

### Pre-Timeskip

**Ode to a Nightingale:** Blake's signature technique is to channel her poison into a barrage of needle-like projectiles, firing them from her hands at her opponent with incredible speed and accuracy. Each needle is coated with a potent venom that infects her target upon impact, causing them to suffer from paralysis, weakness, and extreme pain as the poison spreads through their system.

**The Raven:** Blake concentrates her poison into her fingers, creating long, thin, and curved claws. With swift, acrobatic movements, she lunges at her target, striking with her claws simultaneously in a deadly combo. The venom quickly corrodes through any material it comes into contact with, including things such as metal, rock, and flesh. The claws are incredibly sharp and can easily penetrate most materials, allowing them to strike with deadly precision.

**Lady of Shalott:** This technique creates thin, razor-sharp webs made of poison that can be used to slice through objects and entangle opponents. It can extend and contract at will. The webs can be used to bind and poison opponents, as well as to attack from a distance.

**Ozymandias:** Blake forms ghostly apparitions made of poison that can float and move through solid objects. The ghosts can be used to spy on opponents as well as attack and poison them from unexpected angles. She can also manipulate the ghost to mimic her movements, creating a decoy that can distract opponents.

**The Picture of Dorian Gray:** Releases a cloud of toxic gas that surrounds her opponent, causing them to see a clone or "portrait" of themselves. The "portrait" reflects the opponent's innermost flaws and fears made manifest. As the "portrait" becomes more poisoned and decayed, the opponent's physical and emotional state begins to deteriorate as well, weakening them over time and eventually succumbing to death. The "portrait" can also take on the appearance of the opponent's loved ones or allies, causing them to question their own trust and loyalty.

**The Scarlet Letter:** Firstly, Blake stabs her enemy with **The Raven**. In addition to creating a rather deep wound, the attack leaves a mark that resembles a scarlet-coloured letter "A" on the victim’s body. The mark is a symbol of shame and guilt that poisons the opponent both physically and emotionally. As the opponent continues to bear the mark, they become increasingly weakened by the poison, feeling the weight of their shame and guilt bearing down on them.

**The Masque of Red Death:** Creates a thick, noxious fog that is laced with a potent poison. The fog is then released into the air, spreading rapidly and enveloping anyone in the area. The poison causes a variety of symptoms, including weakness, disorientation, and even unconsciousness. The dense fog can obscure the user's movements and make it difficult for opponents to fight back, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
