2.Special Abilities:

Name: (if applicable)
Source of ability: i.e. innate, learned, or gained from and outside source.
Description of ability:
Limitations of ability:
Relative power level of ability: compared to a normal human attempting a comparable task, how much of an advantage would your character have if they used this power?
Example: your character has telekinesis as a spell that they learned at wizard school (Source: learned, but the power behind the spell is either innate or from an outside source, depending on the magic system in your setting). You would describe how you activate the ability (gestures, words, mental effort, ritual) and then the visual and physical effects of it. A comparable task a normal person and the telekinesis spell could both accomplish would be lifting an object. If your telekinesis can lift 200lbs (limitation: lift/move up to 200lbs only, requires free hands for gestures and the ability to speak for trigger words, must be consciously directed) and an average human male can lift 135 lbs, then your ability is 1.5 times of an advantage.
