With this ability the witch or voodoo practicioner can learn and cast minor spells of a standard misc. variety. ( 1 post casting minimum)
Healing Spells
The ability to learn and cast various healing spells. Healing magic can work on shifters and vampires as well as other humans, but the same spell cannot be used for all three types. Each category needs a different type of spell. Probably a good idea to have a variety of healing spells for differing ailments in any case. NOTE: There is no magical means or way to cure lycanthropy or vampirism nor to ressurect a dead person. (2 post casting minimum for light damage, 4 post casting minimum for moderate wounds, and 6 post casting minimum for major injuries)
Combat Spells

Major Curse
The ability to lay potentially fatal curses. Not instant lethality. Anyone who has ever read the book or seen the movie Thinner by Stephen King will have a good idea of the type of curse this is.
Elemental Fire
With this ability , the character can control and use natural non magical fire. Shaping, enhancing or extinguishing. Fire cannot be created through this power and has to already exist.

Raise Vampire
A very dangerous and powerful ability. With this power the necromancer can raise the sleeping/dead corpse of a living vampire while they are at rest and control them as if they were a powerful zombie. Minus any powers the vampire may have. Forewarning, vampires do not like this and fear necromancers who have this ability and will often hunt down and kill any who possess it.

Vampire Servant
This ability is likened to a Master Vampire's ability to have a human servant. With this power the necromancer metaphysically marks a vampire and makes them their undead servant. A vampire bound in this way to a necromancer instantly becomes enamored with and cares for the necromancer with emotions much like love. The vampire cannot disobey a direct order from the Necromancer and can be in effect a virtual slave to the necromancer.
Psionic Powers
Clairavoyance
The psychic ability to touch a person or an object and get glimpses of the past from the person or object. Each character must specify either TOUCH or NON TOUCH Clairavoyance. Touch clairavoyants normally wear gloves and avoid all skin to skin contact as their power will automatically react to the touch and give them the visions. Touch clairavoyants are almost always nuerotic and at least partially insane from the use of their power. They have no control over when they use their power. It always is activated with any touch of a person. They only have to activate it themselves when touching and object. Non touch clairavoyants simply use their mind to activate the power but do not have the clarity of touch clairavoyants and only get random images. they cant focus the direction of the images brought up.
Telekinetic
The ability to lift and move objects with your mind
Divination
The ability through use of scrying mirror, water, tea leaves, tarot cards etc etc, to find out information. With the use of a mirror or liquid surface the diviner can look in on people around them. It can be as focuses or as clear vision wise as the level of power the diviner is gifted with.
Pyrokinetic
She's dead now, you know."
"No, I didn't know."
"Burned to death in her bed, spontaneous combustion. A lot of the firebugs go up that way, as if when they're old they lose control of it."
Burnt Offerings
A pyrokinetic can also be called a firebug; this is someone who can call fire psychically. Pyrokinetics are surrounded by an aura that protects them from their own flame. A firebugs flames are blue in color versus the yellow/orange of regular flames. When this aura is no longer in effect, the flames turn yellow and the pyro bursts into flame.
One firebug started out by setting fires to empty buildings soon moved on to killing people by burning occupied buildings. After his arrest he tried to escape from the police station by setting fire to it. A man in a fire retardant suit tackled him. The firebug tired to set him on fire. Since their auras were too close together eventually the flames turned yellow, and the pyro burned to death.
Cryokinetic
Like a pyrokinetic ability to call , create and control fire, a cryokinetic does the same thing with cold and ice though not to the degree a pyrokinetic can. A cryokinetic can create gusts of freezing wind, or by touch completely freeze solid an object just as if they had poored liquid nitrogen over it.
Empath
The ability to read and sometimes feel the emotions of others. Some Empaths are so powerful they actually relate to and experience the same emotions of the people they are reading.
