Mystiokinesis

**Mystiokinesis**, or **Reality Warping**, is the ability to cast and manipulate magic, for example: creating snow, changing the weather, turning other people into animals, etc. Thus, giving it control over everything and everyone. Magic is a very complex and dangerous force as it gives control of natural energies in order to produce a needed positive change, but also could be used for evil purposes. Hecate and her children are especially skilled at this form of manipulation.

* **Unnamed Time Deceleration Spell** - A powerful spell that decelerates the flow of time. The spell repelled any mortal who attempted to enter it, as cars were seen veering away from the Manhattan exits like they were getting a subconscious message to turn back. It was cast by Hecate to prepare the battleground for the Second Titan War.
* **Unnamed Sleep Spell**: A huge spell that can sleep millions of mortals in a location. This spell also creates a barrier around the location, causing any mortal who passes it, or who was already within it, to fall instantly asleep. The spell is slow-acting. This spell was cast by Hecate on Manhattan in order to prepare the battleground for the Second Titan War.
* **Unnamed Ward Breaking Spell**: A spell to break through magical wards. This spell manifests as blue lights streaking across the sky towards the target location like tiny comets. If the wards are too powerful, the blue lights fizzle out as soon as they come too close to the wards. This spell was cast by Hecate to try to break through the magical wards of Olympus but failed to do so as the wards were too powerful.
* **Magia Occultandi (*Enchantment of Hiding*)**: A concealment spell that shields oneself or others from the tracking abilities of monsters.
* **Gelu Semita (*Path of Frost*)**: A cold-based spell that generates cold. It is a type of translocational spell, which allows the caster to make a path for themselves and ice is the method of travel which allows them to obscure their location, making it hard for their attacker to attack or anticipate their next attack. It also makes the temperature drop thirty degrees and get colder and hail starts to fall.
* **Templum Incendere (*Temple of Fire*)**: A fire-based spell that is set to destroy the person's "sanctuary", whatever the target places the most faith in.

* **Persequor Vestigium (*Following Markings*)**: A spell that presumably locates another person.

## Weaknesses

Magic requires energy and it takes it from anywhere it can get it, including the user's own magical energy. If a user overexerts their magical capabilities too much, it physically takes a toll on their body causing them fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, or fainting. It could also cause their magical energy to be drained or depleted, leaving them unable to use their magic until it recharges, leaving them defenseless. If the user isn't powerful enough and don't know how to cast them effectively, they will be unable to cast incredibly powerful spells.
