## Weaknesses

* **Physical Trauma:** Since Caladrius are still physically human, Hansley shares the same weakness of mortality, making her vulnerable to injury, illness, and death just as any other human. Because she possess enhanced senses of hearing, she can also be harmed by extremely loud or high-pitched noises. However, this is momentary as she will heal completely within a few hours to days.
* **Mental Trauma:** Hansley is also susceptible to the psychological turmoil as a result of the trauma involved with constantly being surrounded by death, whether it is having premonitions of a death or stumbling upon the body of someone who has been brutally murdered. Since the supernatural world is still a secret to the majority of humans, Hansley may be mistaken for being mentally ill, since she can see and hear things that very few people can and often behave strangely as a result of the passive aspects of her powers. This puts her at risk of being institutionalized by family members.
* **Witchcraft:** Hansley is still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft despite her power. This is inclusive of mystical and dark objects. Though a siphoner cannot siphon the magic from a witch, they can drain her of her powers for the time being which prolonged exposure could lead to death.
* **Poison:** There are various poisons invented by Dr. Wes Maxfield and Aya, to name a few, that are capable of incapacitating or desiccating a Caladrius, and there for Hansley, when administered. It is unknown what effect, if any, any of these poisons would have if ingested by her.
* **Vervain:** Vervain prevents Hansley from draining anyone who takes it and burns her on touch. If she tries to heal anyone on vervain it can hurt her and to much exposure could cause her to fall into a comma.
* **Werewolf Venom:** The bite of a werewolf, which involves injecting toxic venom into the wound, is extremely lethal to Hansley. It will cause her to hallucinate, grow severely weak, and her the sound of thousands of people dying until it kills her. Klaus' or Hope's blood is the only surefire way to cure the bite. When Hansley is suffering from the bite, she always hallucinates either significant moments from her past, significant people in her life, or specific deaths that haunt her, particularly people she couldn’t save.
* **Electricity:** Hansley is incredibly vulnerable to electricity, which, for unknown reasons, seems to interfere with the nature of her abilities. For this reason, Hunters have been known to use cattle-prod tasers to incapacitate Hansley in order to capture her, and will hook her up to car batteries with electrical wires in order to torture them. Lower voltages will simply prevent her from healing, while higher voltages can easily knock out or even kill her.
* **Letharia Vulpina:** *Letharia Vulpina*, a species of lichen known as "wolf lichen," is a neon-green moss that has been used for centuries to poison caladrius, wolves, foxes, and coyotes by mixing it in with their food. Though this lichen does not appear to be fatal, it does seem to weaken Hansley considerably for several days until it wears off.
* **Modified Canine Distemper Virus:** An assassin in the Deadpool named The Chemist invented a modified version of the canine distemper virus that can weaken and kill Hansley. When exposed to this virus begin to sweat before slowly losing control. It then starts to cause Hansley to begin bleeding black blood from her nose, ears, and mouth, and to develop darkened veins around her eyes, mouth, and temples. From there, Hansley is then stricken completely blind, after which point she will only have minutes to live. Fortunately, it has been discovered that ingesting wild purple reishi mushrooms are both a cure and a vaccine for this virus.
* **Mountain Ash:** Rowan wood, or the ashes that result from burning it (known as mountain ash), are effective barriers against the supernatural, including Caladrius. If a building is surrounded by rowan or mountain ash in an unbroken circle, Hansley will be unable to enter it, nor will she be able to leave it if she is in the building when the circle was created. For this reason, many Druids, Banshees, Chimeras, and other humans who are "in the know" and can safely handle mountain ash use it in order to protect themselves or to create traps.
* **Disbelief:** If Hansley denys or disbelieves in her potential, she could inadvertently suppress her magical power.
* **Distraction:** Denying Hansley from concentrating or giving full attention to her spells, may render her ineffective. Since most spells are spoken verbally and take time to take effect, Hansley is vulnerable to attack before their completion. Additionally, certain spells require items, tools, and or special events during casting, therefore they can't be invoked on a mere whim.
* **Emotions:** Hansley's magic is subject to the influence of her emotional state and may fluctuate according to her, especially when untrained. Strong emotions such as worry and anger can fuel her power while emotions such as fear may prevent a Hansley from properly accessing them.
* **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause Hansley to lose consciousness and prevent her from using magic for an undetermined amount of time. The Lobelia flower prevents concentration and, therefore, the practice of magic and can be used to temporarily weaken Hansley.
* **Huntress' Blood:** The supernatural huntress' blood can suppress all magic when consumed, as well as prevent magic from working on Hansley. Prolonged ingestion is toxic and ultimately leads to her death. Once black scabs start appearing on her body, Hansley has less than a week of life. There is no known cure to combat this disease.
* **Overexertion:** The excessive use of magic and healing can cause Hansley disorientation, black nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death.
* **Nature:** It is said that Nature will always find a balance when witchcraft is performed, thus spells will always have loopholes. This means, among other things, that no being can be truly immortal.
* **Mystic Falls Founders Bell:** An indestructible bell that amplifies the effects of the Staff of Arcadius when combined with the Maxwell Striker. When struck, it produces a high frequency that has some minor effects on caladrius, witches, and siphoners, giving them painful headaches. Apart from this, it does not affect their ability to perform magic, cast spells, and heal people.
