Soren Abilities

PASSIVE:

[Determined to Continue] — Due to his DETERMINATION, he has a naturally higher vitality, often healing from minor wounds in hours rather than days and major ones in weeks rather than months. This also allows him survive longer from fatal wounds than the average human, however neglect of the wound will result in death. This extra vitality eventually developed even further, granting him partial Immortality, the ability to never age.

[Magical Proficiency] — Soren, despite learning all known magical elements, is capable of picking up new magic with ease, if taught. However, due to his time in the Abyss of Reality, he has lost most, if not all, of his non-DETERMINATION magic.

[Battle-mage] — As a Court Mage, Soren sought ways to protect himself outside of magic and thus, picked up the art of Swordfighting, often donning a 1-Handed Knight Sword as his weapon of choice when possible. As a result of learning the art, he is decently athletic, capable of performing somersaults, flips and vaulting himself over most walls shorter than him with relative ease, provided he has the momentum. While nowhere near as proficient as with a sword and shield, Soren is capable of dual-wielding Knight Swords should the situation require it.

ACTIVE:

[Sight of the Determined] — With the long time he had spent in the Abyss of Reality, Soren eventually learned how to utilize his DETERMINATION in a way to "see" without seeing, developing this ability as the result. Soren, while wearing his blindfold, is able to completely interpret and "see" objects around him without necessarily looking directly at them, resulting in a clear 180° view of approximately 2.5 meters in front of him. When he removes his blindfold, this ability is enhanced greatly, increasing the view up to 360°, however reduces the accurate perception range to 2 meters. Continued use of this enhancement strains his sight, to the point that, eventually, he will go temporarily go blind, with or without the ability active. While the basic ability is active, Soren is capable of seeing an entity's SOUL alongside the name of its owner. He is, however, unable to perceive the SOUL of something that didn't originate in a UT Universe (AU or otherwise). This "SOUL sight" (to give it a name), also grants him the ability to perceive magical entities differently compared to normal entities (To verbalize it, he would see Flowey as a mass of energy rather than a flower or one of Toriel's fireballs as something else entirely compared to a normal fireball) though, his ability to see both SOULs and magical energies are hindered in front of inorganic life (I.e. If people are running through a forest, he would still see their SOULs through the trees where as if they were running through a rock cavern, he'd lose them if they turned down a corner). Through the enhanced Sight, he is capable of tracing back magical existences right to their source (In the fireball example, he is able to see a makeshift 'line' that traces back to the person who made it, in this case Toriel) though it still has the same limitations as the basic ability, such as being hindered by inorganic material.

[Determination Manipulation] — He can manipulate his Determination into a metaphysical, energy state. While it can take numerous forms, upon full solidification, the constructs are as strong as iron with the weight of an iron construct behind it (However, these constructs feel lighter to Soren, due to his SOUL's energy being used to create them). While the range of the attack starting point can't go any farther than his wingspan (in terms of radius with him as the center), if he charges enough energy into a laser-like attack it could reach roughly 250 meters, albeit, the farther it goes the less powerful it is, with a 250 meter hit being like a push and a point-blank attack being akin to a truck in terms of force (though if the attack is smaller than his fist, this force instead becomes a piercing attack, rather than a pushing one) with each attack leaving scorch-like marks and burning, similar to lasers although do not cut through as easily. This ability's capabilities vary immensely on Soren's mental state, with his un-Determined state's range reaching no farther than a 1 foot, even at full strength, and having little strength behind them (often feeling like a slight push, and if piercing, like someone pressing a dull pencil against the skin), while his truly Determined state gives him full access to his ability's true power.

[Pyrokinesis] — A more latent ability inherited from his friend's SOUL. This ability has never surfaced within Soren and, as long as he is never forced into situations involving him having to seriously fight against humanity or monsterkind, more than likely won't. If active, it is often for mere minutes a time (Little less than 5), but is immensely powerful and is where most of the power that Monster-Human Hybrids should have, went. While he doesn't have the same range as with his Determination Manipulation, and thus is only able to create an attack directly from his hands, he is able to create extremely hot flames to the point of their coloration being blue. This ability cannot be accessed at will and completely replaces his Determination Manipulation and locks off his ability to access it. After this ability is utilized, he will collapse from exhaustion immediately after the use, leaving it as a "all-or-nothing trump card". (To put it simply, its a really complicated plot device power lol)
