Current Events
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Sorcery - Felicity is a practiced sorceress, but her training and focus are primarily in direct effects. The primary focus of her training was on basic ritual implementation, and the channeling of arcane energy. Her aptitude for it made her seem like an invaluable tool to her former circle, and her aptitude for channeling extra-planar forces is considerable. In the years since coming out from under Billy Arcane's shadow, however, Felicity has honed her abilities, mastering a few healing skills, summoning powers and refining her control of what she can do. Subtle and indirect effects are outside her normal purview, as she prefers flashy, impressive and direct results.
Skills
Occult Knowledge - Felicity is an enthusiastic student of the occult arts, and has been her entire life. Having redoubled her studies now that she's independent, Felicity has put a great deal of work into amassing an occult library that ranges from the latest quack mysticism to eerily legitimate tomes of forbidden knowledge bound in all manner of unpleasant things. In her free time, Felicity is most often found in study. Her knowledge is far from complete, which sometimes gives her just enough understanding to be dangerous, and not just to the monsters she faces.
Doing it by Rote - Felicity's greatest attribute in occult practice is still her adaptability to ritual. Able to focus, clear her head and learn quickly from observation, Black Magic finds herself able to adapt quickly to occult tasks, even without much prior knowledge. This natural aptitude can make her highly useful to a benevolent wizard looking for an extra set of hands. More than once, however, it's made Felicity an unwitting accomplice to less scrupulous sorts.
A Different Kind of Magic - As an actress, Felicity failed to captivated the theater audiences of Vibora Bay. As Black Magic, however, she has worked hard at developing an audience. When not up to her neck in the underworld, Felicity actually does an admirable job managing her sparse production crew, public appearances and the technical aspects of doing her show. Her practice as an actress also gives her an advantage when attempting to bluff or connive her way out of situations.
Attributes
(Oc)cult of Personality - While hardly a household name amongst normal citizens, Felicity is rather well known in certain circles. If recognized by a fan while she's working a case, Black Magic is hardly adverse to trading an autograph, show tickets or a little extra attention for important information or access. This notoriety also provides her some degree of protection, as many of the groups her actions have raised the ire of know that her disappearance wouldn't go unnoticed. At least, for now.
In Her (Un)natural Environment - Due to her upbringing and prolonged exposure to otherworldly forces, Black Magic is incredibly hard to rattle. Even in the face of some mind-bending horrors, she manages to maintain her trademark smirk. However, this also applies to situations in which a more practiced mage or heroine would know to exercise caution. Felicity's bravery has gotten her through more than one trying time, but it's gotten her in over her head too many to count.
Gear and Equipment
Gear
The Nightscrap - Unearthed early in her misadventures, the Nightscrap is a cape that has become a signature part of Black Magic's "look." A powerful occult artifact, the Nightscrap allows the wearer to travel via teleportation, by slipping into a small sub-plane where normal rules of physics don't seem to apply. The danger of the item, however, is that if Black Magic is significantly distracted (or even harmed, somehow) during transport, she runs the risk of being lost indefinitely in this shadowy realm. Due to this, she only relies on the cloak for short jaunts unless in dire need.
Black Leather - Tailored from the flesh of minor demonic beings, these items allow Black Magic to handle and walk through materials otherwise harmful to the human body. Felicity's costume incorporates long gloves, boots, a mask and a corset crafted from the otherworldly material.
The Lending Legerdemain - Felicity's flippant name for her occult collection, it is a rather impressive sum of books she's managed to gather over the last few years. Both a resource and a responsibility, Black Magic knows at least enough to know what her private collection could do in the wrong hands. Towards that end, she's tried to ward and protect her library as best she can, and usually has at least two staff devoted to its care. However, as is always the way of these things, accidents do happen ...
Friends/Allies
For the most part, Black Magic's heroic activities have either been as a solo heroine, or part of momentary team-ups. However, she has a support staff of friends and co-workers who help her to keep the show running, and her head above water.
Stuart Addison
Self-appointed "head librarian" of the Lending Legerdemain, Stuart is a long-time friend who has taken it upon himself to catalogue and organize Felicity's ever-growing book collection. While his diligence and suprising tolerance for the bizarre has led him to be surprisingly successful in the role, Stuart has begun noticing more than a few grey hairs.
Monica Lang
Set designer, shot director and production assistant, Monica was Felicity's best friend in college. Eager to put herself on a project that carried a bit more weight than her eighth staging of "Rent," Monica's laser-focus cuts straight through any complications that arise on set. And working with Black Magic, some "complications" tend to require more cutting than others.
Annie Raimi
The second curator of the Lending Legerdemain, Annie is oddly enough a library sciences major. Unlike Stuart, however, Annie is far more eager to throw herself into the strange world their collection represents. As such, she's gotten herself into trouble more than once. But, hey, who hasn't been turned into a Turakian hell-beast at least once in their life, huh? She got better. Mostly.
Owen "Two" Stone
A Scottish expat, Stone was stranded by his bandmates after a night of drinking in the wrong part of Vibora. In need of work, Stone currently does the heavy lifting on set, as well as serving as a deterrent for some of the more overeager fans. Stone knows far more about the occult than he really lets on. Not that he wouldn't share, if only anyone could penetrate the man's thick brogue.
