POWERS:
MAGIC
What she can use in
- Prestidigitation: ie lighting candles, making sounds, that sort of thing.)
- Illusions: general umbrella for illusion spells, both visual and auditory, sometimes even touch
- Alarm: makes an alarm bell that can go off in certain circumstances
- Ward off Undead: what it says on the tin
- Lucretia's Special Shield Spell: an impenetrable spherical shield of light
- Sleep: it makes people within a 20 ft radius fall unconscious for one (1) minute. It can be resisted or randomly have no effect (and therefore is completely up to each player in question whether or not it works on their character).
- Silence, which makes it so no sound is heard in a small area for up to ten minutes.
- Counterspell, which has a chance (again, with player permission and ICly doesn’t always work) of cancelling out someone else’s magic spell.
- Magic Missle aka pew pew pew. This hurts but doesn't kill or maim.
- Invisibility, in which Lucretia can make herself or whoever she touches invisible for up to 1 hour if she concentrates the whole time, and the more people she makes invisible the more spell slots it uses up.
Other: can enchant objects / make traps with some of these spells
As a general rule of thumb: the bigger, more complex and/or powerful the spell is the less times per day she can use them and the shorter the spell’s duration. So for example, a big spell she can do about once per day for maybe ten minutes. That uses up a spell slot, so she can only cast a few bigger spells per day regardless of what they are. But for example, making a little spell might last an hour and she can basically do that whenever she wants. Anchoring a spell on an object (usually ward spells or alarm spells) can make them last a lot longer, even months, but makes them use up more spell slots than they would normally.

MEMORY/INFORMATION SUPPRESSION
Memory/Information Suppression
Lucretia has the ability to suppress people’s memories or knowledge about certain things. These can be an memories of an event, but it can also be any knowledge or memories associated with a certain person, object, piece of artwork, group, etc. Essentially she can make people forget that [insert thing here] exists or happened. This can work on things they technically don’t know about yet too.
When suppressed memories or knowledge is brought up or seen, it becomes very difficult for the person to focus on them – they can acknowledge it on some level but their brain won’t really let them think about it in clear terms. In some but not all cases this effect may even cause the person to hear static (if audio) or be unable to clearly make out whatever it is they’re forgetting (if visual). However, they may still be able to feel any emotions they have about whatever it is even if they don’t remember why they’re feeling that.
Lucretia has partial control over this power. She can purposely use it if she wants to, but in some cases it may even react to her emotions and work without her consciously using it. Additionally, she cannot purposely reverse it. But it can be reversed several ways: one, in time the effect will slowly fade (and how fast this happens depends on the player); two, somebody else with power cancelling abilities or memory altering abilities or the like can cancel it out; three: strong emotions about the whole dealio one way or another (for example, in response to someone trying to talk to them about it) from either the person or Lucretia and the effect will suddenly & abruptly end.
Additionally, the power can inadvertently work on Lucretia herself, meaning not only isn’t she immune, but she may randomly be blocked from remembering or finding out about certain things.
TO THAT END, if this is something you'd like to play out, please feel free to fill out a permissions, but know that this power will never be used without talking to you first regardless!
And if you need to, feel free to use static:

I DON'T HAVE A BETTER PLACE TO PUT THIS, SOME HEADCANON:
She can speak 8 languages: Common, Elvish, Draconic, Gnomish, Dwarvish, Orc, Goblin, Infernal.
