          _{d/avina’s   use   of   magic   is   extremely   unique   to   herself .          she’s   extraordinarily   powerful ,   though   she’s   never   had   any   training .          she   was   raised   with   the   knowledge   of   her   potential   and   was   selected   for   the   harvest   ritual   at   sixteen ,   but   before   this ,   there   was   no   mention   of   her   ever   having   been   taught   by   her   mother .          she   mentioned   to   josh   that   all   the   power   she   held   was   siphoned   from   the   other   harvest   girls ,   and   that   she   doesn’t   know   what   she   has   without   that   power .} 

_{given   that   she   never   had   any   legitimate   teacher ,   this   produces   a   style   of   magic   that’s   not   only   messy ,   but   can   be   extremely   detrimental .          it   wasn’t   only   that   the   power   dwelling   in   her   from   the   harvest   girls   was   too   much   for   her   to   contain ,   it   was   that   she   didn’t   have   anyone   to   reign   her   in ,   even   after   the   ritual   was   completed   and   her   magic   simmered .          so   even   now ,   though   she’s   essentially   taught   herself   the   works ,   a   lot   of   her   magic   should   be   much   more   unhinged   than   canon   would   show .}

_{she’s   spent   the   majority   of   her   time   being   a   lot   more   powerful   than   she   knows   how   to   handle .}

* 001 .     /     SIPHONED   ALL   THE   POWER   OF   THE   HARVEST .

* 002 .     /     HELD   REGENCY   OVER   EVERY   COVEN   IN   NEW   ORLEANS .

* 003 .     /     MADE GATEKEEPER OF ANCESTRAL MAGIC .

_{that’s   a   hell   of   a   lot   of   power   for   a   kid   who   never   had   any   training ,   and   the   issue   is   this   cycle .          vincent   believed   she   was   ready   to   become   regent   because   she   was   the   harvest   girl ,   despite   that   power   literally   killing   her .          and   because   she   was   made   regent ,   he   believed   she   should   hone   the   key   to   ancestral   magic   when   the   link   between   the   two   planes   was   put   back   together .} 

_{tldr   ;   she’s   incredibly   powerful ,   but   it   shouldn’t   be   as   concise   as   we’re   lead   to   believe .} 

_{for   fun   though ,   here’s   some   people   talking   about   her   magic !}

• _{‘ i’ve   never   felt   power   like   that .          she’s   not   just   any   witch ,   she’s   something   i’ve   never   seen   before .          something   beyond   powerful . ‘}
• _{‘ marcel   possesses   a   weapon   BIGGER   and   MORE   POWERFUL   than   an   original . ‘}
• _{‘ oh ,   no .          you’re   the   super   witch . ‘}
• _{‘ how   can   a   sixteen   year   old   girl   shake   the   entire   french   quarter ? ‘}
• _{‘ i   know   your   story ,   d/avina .          you’re   practically   famous . ‘}
• _{‘ we   need   a   stronger   witch .          call   d/avina . ‘}
• _{‘ she   knows   a   hell   of   a   lot   more   than   she   should .          and   if   she’s   not   careful ,   she   doesn’t   walk   the   right   line ,   she’s   gonna   wind   up   being   the   wickedest   of   them   all . ‘}
