Powers And Abilities
Magic: Himiko is an immensely powerful witch. Since being introduce into the craft she was a natural prodigy in utilizing the forces that comes with magic, her method of usages comes from the teachings that predates Shintoism. With her training perfected, Himiko can accomplish a myriad of things with the simplest language, sometimes even using words to accomplish the direct opposite of their literal meaning. For example, she is able to stop multiple enemies before her using the word for "heal", healing them of their anger and motiveless, and all other things that would drive them to kill her, making them helpless thus allowing her to kill them at her discretion. She can most defiantly manipulate the elements of nature with such fine finesse. Such as, controlling the intensity of fire, turning a small fire into a fire blast or even turned a great portion of a lake into ice to walk across, ect. Her magic also enables her limited telepathy, being able to foresee people's intentions and read, broadcast, and communicate with others mind to mind. She can also cast glamours/illusions, which are so realistic that others cannot distinguish. Her most notable feat was the creation of the "Other Side", a dimension coinciding with Earth that serves as a purgatory for supernatural beings, when all supernatural beings die they go to the Other Side as oppose to finding peace. Another grand feat of hers was the creation of her talismans that now serves as valuable models to Japanese history.
Since invoking the power of the sun goddesses, she is the full physical embodiment of Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun Goddess. Since becoming the divine avatar, Himiko is bestowed with even more magical capacity than she would of ever imagine, channeling the "Path of the God", allowing her to perform feats on a wide greater scale that would other-wise kill a normal witch and/or require the help of other witches in total. Her physical bodily structure and physical feats are also enhance to near perfect human stats, providing not only her mind but her body to be equally just as dangerous. When assuming her divine form, Himiko is transformed into a being consumed by constant emanations of pure light and is granted with the said abilities she emits. She can also heal beings from mental influences and physical pain/symptoms.
Abilities
Occult: Himiko possesses a high and undetermined knowledge of the occult and meta-physical related subjects, which gives her an amass knowledge of of those mainly stemming of magical lore. She has a full understanding of the forces that magic is used and employed with as well as a vast familiarity on to how utilize and counteract them, aside with information on multiple type of magical creatures. This is due to her extensive studies and the knowledge she gained from the sun goddess, which has given her a better understanding of the mystical world. Her knowledge and skill is so superb that she is able to identify most if not all spells and rituals used by others and know of it's intent and how to reverse the nature of the spell. She can also read, decipher, and analyze magic runes and languages of the old world, which then she can use to produce effects that aren't known up to date. Her knowledge in the crafts and the side of mysticism continues to grow as she continues to study.
Weapons
Kusanagi: The legendary Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven founded by the Shinto storm god Susanoo when slaying the fourth tail of the eight-headed serpent Orochi. As a gift to end all troubles with his sister, Susanoo gave her the sword. It wasn't until many years later into the rise of the Himiko reign that the blade came into her possession. The sword allows her to manipulate the elements of air with movements guided the blade and manipulate the elements of fire with the said technique, which allows her to summon two elements without it taxing from her magic but the blade's own magical reserves. The blade itself is extremely durable and almost unbreakable by physical means, though magic of strong usage might be able to shatter the weapon.
Totsuka-no-Tsurugi: The famed sword used by Susanoo to slay the eight-headed serpent. It has no known abilities but non the less provides a great weapon for Himiko, due to it's high durability.
Yata-no-Kagami: Also known as The Eight Hand Mirror was the sacred object of Amaterasu, used to lure her out of hiding when her brother ravage the lands with night. It was theorized that the mirror was lost when burned down, but in truth it was crafted by Himiko herself and later founded by the imperial family upon her death. The mirror itself has unique abilities of its own, when viewing into the mirror Himiko is able to remotely view locations from vast distances, but she must concentrate on her desire location, able to see into the minds of other beings knowing the truths they hide or perceiving events through their eyes, as well as the unique ability to reflect attacks of magic origin.
Magatama: Is the mystical jewel worn at all times around Himiko neck, it gives her the ability to sense and warn her of the presence of others near her at close radius. The jewel is also a storage for magic allowing Himiko to channel the limited amount of magic place upon it, though she never does so. The last of it's ability is to prevent her from any foreign bodily possession with mystical and psychic related origins, the jewel would immediately push back any energy of sort upon contact.
Weaknesses
Basic Weakness: First, even though she has immense magical powers Himiko is without weaknesses. One being in particular is that she is still a regular human being even with the added magical talent but she still has all the natural human weaknesses and vulnerabilities with a few tweaks. Though the good part of it is that she's more durable, having a higher resistance to attacks otherwise would be more harmful to ordinary humans, she can survive attacks by weapons, various attack (physical, energy, or magical) from other beings or objects. She is still susceptible to certain diseases, aging (but ages extremely slower than regular humans), and pain. If caught in a dangerous situation, Himiko can be harm like any other human, able to receive broken arms, cuts, bruises, and other damages unless she cast a spell to prevent so, such as a shielding spell.
Magic's Limitations: Second, magic has its limit, both physically and mentally. Since magic requires physical energy in order to function, only so much can be used at any time before she burns it (magic) off, which can exhaust and deplete her preventing her from using a simple spell until she rests. Also, if Himiko were to perform a spell that requires too much energy far beyond hers, particularly if she has been straining herself or using her powers excessively, her powers can backfire which could lead to physical and mental symptoms such as painful headaches lasting to about a week, though most commonly nose bleeding, or even death (only if the spell is immensely strong) or the spell would produce random /useless effects from over-exertion, which has localized detrimental effects. This also goes towards her ability in using divine magic, Himiko can only channel so much power from Amaterasu before the ill-stricken effects begins to take effect upon her.
