"Hex casting is the art of unleashing magic through a series of movements. It is the ritual that grants efficacy, rather than tomes or staves."

Passive skills:
- Vengeance, his magic gets stronger the more he's hurt.

Hexes and magic:
- Unholy summoning sigils to draw the attention of an uncontrollable zombie army.
- Put people to sleep with a curse (requires a sacrifice, little birdies or whatever.)
- Reverse time on objects and people. (In JP translations, he can use this to rollback healed wounds for torture :);)
- Will someone to death (requires a single hair and a bitching death altar).
- Turn someone into a toad for a couple of days.
- Swap bodies with someone.
- A curse to kill someone instantly if they're mortally wounded, to avoid pain.
- Create entirely realistic illusions that can't be touched.
- Dispel and reflect curses cast on him.
- Curse someone to die if they lie to him (presumed, Tharja ability).
- Killed 100 people with a curse? Could be a joke, but he successfully murdered the shit out of some hunters while a kid when his wolf-mother got shot and.. see the above.
- Fireballs, dark magic blasts, etc. Tome abilities.
- Extremely powerful magical-wise, acknowledged in-text by the other magicians as being crazy OP.

General abilities:
- Barely feels any pain at all (doesn't notice getting stabbed deeply, being shot in Owain route only makes him 'ngh'.)
- Can talk to animals, flowers and anything living.
- Doesn't smell like a human, smells like another animal.
- Has a weird association with crows, and they'll protect him.
