[R. F.]

Among his demonstrated abilities are the following: transformation into other human shapes, transformation into animal shapes, transforming others into human or animal shapes (he turned a bunch of guards into pugs, I kid you not), making healing potions, making poison potions, making medieval Viagra (yup), levitation, teleportation (based largely on drawing doors and, with the help of a crystal, willing them to open where one desires), going "dim" (it is stated that one cannot actually become invisible, but one can become "dim," or a sort of shadowy version of oneself that can only be seen by those who know one), traveling to other worlds/dimensions (some of this may have been thanks to the magic crystal ball Black 13 or the doors that open into other worlds, but he did it, so it counts), witchlights and fire from his fingertips, healing touch and pain-inducing touch, hypnosis (this is more of a sort of "snake fascination"--old stories say that snakes hypnotize their prey before they strike, and this is the same idea), remote viewing or clairvoyance, something akin to telepathy though not perfectly, necromancy but not perfectly, mass-hypnosis and post-hypnotic suggestions, and fortune-telling and premonition, to say nothing of his extended lifespan and his apparent ability to bend that 4th wall without breaking it (and to contend with the idea of being both fictional and not and under the control of a storyteller and not). And he could probably do more and other things, if he felt like it and had willpower enough to do them. Whatever's clever.

Obviously, no small measure of these will not work in-game (teleportation, doors between distant locations, telepathy without eye-contact, &c). I went on and listed them out to give an idea of how much he just messes around with magic--which is a lot and often.
