Gravity Control - this power is inherited from his family's distant vodou connections and is focused by a set of amber and golden jewlery. The stones in the original necklace were all chipped from the same large chunk of amber, and the gold all from one nugget mined in the early 1700s. They were originally enchanted to 'uplift' a slave from his or her bonds, escaping their captors into the mountains. The story goes, that others coveted this necklace and broke it apart. The men and women who each took a piece would eventually come together into one bloodline but it was more than 200 years later that the whole necklace was under one roof once more. It is almost unrecognizable now, given that it floats around Magni's chest and shoulders, but he can say that his family, and this necklace, experienced a lot to get where they are today. As the most talented dancer and acrobat in his school, he was awarded it permanently by his grandmother in the name of Papa Loko, the ritual taking more than a day to perform. Abilities that this necklace and his devotion to the Lwa can be called upon at will, and the necklace never leaves his personal space

-- Lighter Than Air, Magni can fly, he doesn't really ever touch the ground if he can help it. He can lift himself and if need be, another person or several small children, usually if endangered this power can come in a burst that lifts an entire group but only lasts as long as required to get them to safety. He can also direct this power to break someone else's fall if he's nearby, providing a net that is almost glitter-like (almost? It actually is, each of these tiny fragments of neclace can weave themselves into a strong network) to set them down safely

-- Dazzle and Distract, the bright flashes when struck by stage lights or even the moon's light helps draw the eye toward Magni, or more accurately away from the stage ninjas - or the slaves that were running from their hunters. He serves to focus attention while others are working the background areas of a performance venue

-- Come Together As One, with the fragmented history of the necklace well known to Magni, he communes with spirits using it, and they may choose to distribute information or comfort to a specific group that Magni is working with or in. Be it his performance troupe or a class of students, when he retreats to his private chambers, it's to meditate and perform this ritual to help everyone work together; the effect is that everyone cooperating with the group or team has a +2 bonus to actions for that team's performance or benefit for the next 12 hours

Acrobatics Is Religion +6 Magni is a consummate performer, and that's because a lot of the time he's dancing both for and with his lwa, be it toward Loko, Damballa, or with Ayida-Weddo in her joy and flight. He is apt to be the most slinky and sensual pole dancer, because of the ritual pole found in his religion and dedicated to Papa Legba, perhaps, but also watching him is to be seeing the spirits in action. He doesn't miss a trapeeze catch, twirls upon ribbons of silk without fear of falling, tumbles and rushes across a stage like a snake or a rabbit

Respect Is Everything +3 Even if the necklace that he wears is sacred to a more masculine Lwa, he was brought up with four sisters and understands that life and society is harder on women and certainly more difficult for people of color. On Twoarth this is compounded by the Fur-side and Skin-side aspects, but even they, or perhaps especially, bring focus onto the need to respect boundaries and cultural differences. He's curious and wants to know about your culture, and is genuine when he offers to open a door or move a chair, he wants everyone to know respect, so he offers it to everyone in turn

Research +3 If something or someone strikes him as interesting, he'll definitely follow up on his conversations. He enjoys reading and learning, and imparts what he can, including the joy of doing so, to his students

Style +3 You can't get where he is without knowing how to walk, pose, dress, and even smell! Some of the Lwa like to have gifts of specifically scented items, or particular fabric, and he knows each and every one of those things might blend or clash. He is still a remarkable lover of the drag shows and will busy himself on weekends if Yodel needs some extra hands for his troupe

Language of the Gods +2 Though he doesn't "speak in tongues" so much as 'mutter in muddy French Creole' most entities that could be considered 'godlings' seem to think he's good as a broadcast focus. They ask first, not because he'd be too busy to host one, but because he's already hosting Lwa and they are somewhat particular about their devotees... That said he also does speak Haitian Creole, French, English, and Fongbe more or less fluently

Tiptoes Through Those Tulips +3 A person as delightful and gregarious as Magni has never been born, but it's not just people that he loves - it's all life, once more leading back to his cultural background. A great respect and knowledge of plant life, lepidoterology, birds, and snakes rounds out his odder hobbies. He enjoys watching the Floral Arrangement class on his 7th Period time off

Of Course He'll Pose For You +3 Likewise he will allow himself to be put into poses and wearing outfits during 5th Period classes such as Fashion Technology and Fine Arts. He has a delicate frame and very few inhibitions so he will eagerly put on ball gowns and fig leaves if need be
