Magical Mirroring

Their magic is influenced by the emotions of those around them. The spells they can cast are limited or amplified by other people’s needs, wants or emotions.

 

Appearance Shift

Their appearance changes when using magic, relevant to each spell. If they cast a fire spell, their hair may turn fiery orange. If they cast an ageing spell, they may age.

 

Element Limits

They struggle to use magic tied to a specific element after a traumatic event. For example, after a character falls into a lake, they may struggle to control their water powers.

 

 

Spirit Conjuring

They accidentally conjure spirits when they’re stressed. The second a minor inconvenience happens, their eyes start glowing and dark spirits start spawning.
