Powers/Abilities (In Detail)
Magic: Everything lives. Everything breathes, everything thinks, and everything can be spoken to. The wind itself is the intelligent breath of the planet. The very earth and trees are ancient and knowing, sentient even. The waters and oceans are just as ancient and intelligent. The power of the magi is to communicate with these elements of the universe, control them through various deals and contracts. Magic was taught to humans in the ancient civilization of Adminah by the Fae, and has been a closely guarded secret ever since. At this point, humans are born with the ability to do magic. At its very base, Magic is the ability to manipulate probability. Queen Mab, the Embodiment of Chaos, is also the embodiment of magic and aether, as well as being Queen of the Fae. Callaghan's contracts are contracts of Void, Mathematics , and Lucidity. These contracts were created by him and are thus unique to him.

-Improvised Spells: A mage has to always be prepared. This is usually done in the form of stacking spells before they go out. Actual spells, however, are different from improvised magic. Improvised magic is random and can use up either a small amount or a large amount of mana. Improvised spells do not require magic words (but the mage can use them if they so wish), and they're extremely unpredictable and prone to failure.

Ascended Transhuman Physiology: Due to both magical rituals, enhancements, and technological enhancements, Callaghan has become what can be described as an "ascended transhuman". His body is artificial like most other humans of the time, and magical enhancements and artifacts in his body allow him a variety of powers and abilities.

-Eye of Essence: Callaghan's right eye is a magical gemstone that allows him the ability to read and discern essence around him. Curiously enough, the Eye also contains the same Existence   Engine as Bradley's Jewel of Infinity. The Eye is one of Callaghan's most versatile and used enhancements.

-Omnifarious: Runes carved on Callaghan's body allow him to switch shape into anything he can think of. There's not really a limit to what he can shift into; just his imagination.

- Photosynthetic   Skin: Taken from the newest Transhuman model, Callaghan's natural-feeling skin is made out of a material with microscopic, built-in solar cells that absorb sunlight when light touches it. This photosynthetic skin makes Callaghan able to go without eating or sleeping indefinitely and allows him to stay in peak physical condition at all times. This also gives him superhuman physical abilities, such as the ability to move incredibly fast , lift heavy objects, and superhuman senses. Another feature of his skin is the ability to absorb electricity the same way as his skin absorbs solar energy.
