	+ **Voodoo Potion Making** - An extensive knowledge of how to brew magical liquid mixtures. Tetisheri has called her version of potion making "*Green Magic*".
	+ **Tactile Telekinesis** - Tetisheri possesses tactile telekinesis, the power to manipulate matter through mental effort or other means through tactile interactions. Telekinesis and tactile telekinesis differ in their distance of influence. Normal telekinetics can move matter and objects from a distance without using physical force (hands, feet, strings, etc.), while tactile telekinetics are limited to what they're touching. However, they do possess some unique characteristics. They can manipulate themselves, which can be considered a personalized variation of telekinesis. Tetisheri's body is regarded as an "object," so they can telekinetically control themselves, ranging from manipulating bodily movements to one's molecules. They can move their own body regardless of its current state, create a force-field to protect themselves from gunfire, explosions, etc., and increase their condition. Tetisheri can telekinetically push themselves through the air to achieve flight. Due to this, the Tetisheri can have absolute control over themselves if telekinetics attempt to move them.
	+ **Sensory Scrying** - Tetisheri can "hitch-hike" other beings' senses and experience what happens as they were them. This power grants the user with the ability to taste, feel, smell, see and/or hear from other senses. It allows the user to experience the world as their target would.
	+ **Psychic Shield** - She is highly resistant to any/all mental intrusion, including psychic or empathic powers, Hypnosis, Mental Hallucination, deception, etc. Mind readers only “hear” static, while mind controllers will have trouble manipulating those shielded.
	+ **Flight** - Tetisheri can float several meters from the ground.
