Can you help me with my book?

Hermine857ByHermine857

Hey guys, I'm currently writing a fantasy book and need help with magical abilities.

My characters have magical abilities but I would find it more exciting if they had a weakness.
My first person is female and can jump from shadow to shadow. Do you have any idea for a weakness?

I also need one more ability (something unusual) plus a weakness.

Do you have any ideas? Then feel free to write them down☺️

Strengths: “natural” computer tomograph, short-range telekinesis, short-range teleportation

Weakness: needs direct visual contact to the target.

PS (why you can use this: read the “Hyllis-Family”-Series by Laurence Dahners – unfortunately only English)

So for strength and weakness I would ever take something normal (e.g. fear of height) and exceptional (e.g. read thoughts). My suggestions:

Strength:

Normal: a school subject, sport: volleyball, climbing or diving, drawing, can well deal with people

Exceptional: shape converter, telekinesis (moving things with thoughts), can dominate an element (e.g. water: can cause water fountains), can fly (versions: with or without wing, technical…)

Weakness:

Normal: some physical (e.g. weak leg/arm = not the same load possible), shy, self overestimation

Exceptional: loses control of thoughts when much magic (or similar) is in space, any supernatural allergy, e.g. dragon allergy (lol)

Hope that helps:)

How about a funny side effect? When jumping from shadow to shadow, he gets guts and the more often he jumps, the worse it gets. So he doesn’t like to apply his ability and only rarely.

Character 1: shadow jump

  • Ability: Jumping from shadow to shadow
  • weakness: light sensitivity: In bright environments or in direct sunlight, it cannot use its ability because the shadows are weak or not present. This makes them more vulnerable and restricts their mobility.

Character 2: New skill and weakness

  • Ability: Emotional manipulationYou can influence the emotions of others, e.g. fear, joy or anger. This can be very powerful in conflict situations.
  • Weakness: Own emotional instability: If too many emotions are manipulated at the same time or used over a longer period of time, it can get into an emotional state that it cannot control. This could lead to her being overwhelmed by her own emotions and no longer being able to think or act clearly.

even more ideas for skills and weaknesses

  • Ability: Elemental control (e.g. fire or water)Smooth: overheating or undercooling: In the event of excessive use, it can damage itself by either overheated or in a state of hypothermia.
  • Ability: Animal communicationSmall: Dependence on animals: She could have difficulty acting around without animals, making them vulnerable in urban areas or isolated environments.
  • Ability: illusions create weakness: loss of reality: if it creates too long illusions, it can have difficulty distinguishing between reality and illusion, which it can bring in dangerous situations.

What happens when the shadow is illuminated and disappears? Is she stuck? That could be an interesting weakness.
