Area of Expertise

Dark Magic 🔐 - Iré possesses a natural aptitude for dark magic—primarily things like curses, necromancy, charms, and hexes. Trapped as she is in Verna's body, she's only capable of casting when in full control of Verna's physical form. She's especially fond of hexes and curses.

Pact Making 🔐 - In exchange for their soul, granting her greater power, Iré could fulfill a human’s request. This often resulted in monkey’s paw situations, with Iré almost always benefitting far more from the pact than the human. She delighted in seeing what backwards ways she could fulfill the request while still technically remaining within the human’s spoken desires—very rarely did she allow the human to actually come out better for it. Occasionally someone would request something interesting enough or word it so specifically that she could not or would not twist it. These pacts were sealed in blood and as a finality. Now, her host is the only person she’s able to make a pact with, and Verna has denied her this their entire lives together.

Abilities

Possession 🔐 - Prior to her permanent binding to Verna, Iré used to be able to possess the bodies of willing* humans. Currently, Verna is the only person she is able to possess, and even then can only do it either with Verna’s permission or in times of emotional or physical weakness.
*Willing is subjective. Permission was often, if not always, obtained through trickery

Planeshifting 🔒 - Iré used to be able to move freely between this plane and that of her ancestral home. She is now incapable of this, and is grounded wherever Verna is.

Shapeshifting 🔒 - In a sense, as it is more of an illusion. Essentially, taking whatever form best suits the demon to accomplish their ends, be it a snake or a man.

Incorporeality 🔓 - In order to safely navigate the world unseen, Iré is able to determine who can see and hear her and when they can do so. This ability still stands, and Iré is excited to use it to jumpscare anyone and everyone.

Dark Magic, expanded 🔐 - Further clarification on some of Iré’s favored magic.
✦ Necromancy: By sapping life around her, Iré can bring something once living back from the dead. More energy is needed for the longer it has been dead & the longer it’s natural lifespan. Lifeforce stolen can be from things technically living, such as plantlife, or things more traditionally alive.
✦ Hexes & curses: Most of Iré’s favored spells are ones that cause mental harm. She used to favor physical harm, but cursing maidens to turn into creatures at night has fallen out of fashion and modern medicine has made dealing with many physical ailments easier. Iré has learned that giving someone terrifying nightly visions, false memories, or an anxiety disorder is sometimes just more satisfying.
✦ Charms: Iré’s preferred usage of charm tends towards encouraging people towards bad decisions. She loves playing cupid in the worst of ways, especially.

Limitations

Aside from limitations mentioned above, Iré is also limited by…

This Body Is Not My Own - Iré, for the most part, does not get to choose when she gets use of Verna’s body. The only ability she has access to at all times is choosing when to be perceived. Even then, something about casting while in control feels weakened and wrong. Probably Verna’s pathetic human flesh.

I Signed That Stupid Charter, Didn’t I? - She knows where she is and she knows the rules. She doesn’t like it and she thinks it’s, quote, “p*ssy shit”, but she’ll behave… for now. Besides… at least she’s finally around people other than Verna’s stupid cult member mother.

The Conditions Of Binding - Annoyingly, Iré is not permitted to harm those who cast the binding. Daphne and her former friends would have been dead long ago, were this not the case. She is also not permitted to cause grievous harm to her host.

Incorporeality - A double-edged sword, now that Iré can only have a physical form under certain conditions, more often than not she is trapped in her incorporeal state. Her interaction with the world around her is extremely limited, comparable to that of a weak-leveled poltergeist, for example. She can touch things, but it takes great exertion to move them, and the heavier the object the less likely she’ll be able to move it. She can throw an apple about five feet maximum, for example.

Holy Magic - Ugh. Utterly disgusting. Even thinking of it makes her flesh crawl. In a way, Verna’s human nature shields Iré from the worst of the effects, and her physical tether to this plane of existence prevents her from being banished outright, so it doesn’t affect her as badly as it might were she without her human meat shield. Still, it makes her feel physically ill, and Verna and Iré have a hard time spending long amounts of time on holy ground without growing sick.
