Special Abilities
Spellbinding
Spellbinding is the most basic skill of Spirit Wolves and Occultists. It is the act of mesmerizing or manipulating one's thoughts. Spellbinding is a general power and unlocks different abilities at each level. However, there are limitations.
Limitations
-
A spellbinding cannot be undone from a different spellbinding; the only person who can remove it is the person who placed it. However, a spellbinding can be placed over it. For example, a werewolf cannot make someone forget they had a burger and fries, but they can make them think they had a burger, fries, and a milkshake.
-
A spellbinding comes undone if the person who performed the spellbinding dies
-
A spellbinding builds off of people’s current memory and emotion. The more skilled a conjurer is, the more ability they have to manipulate memory and emotion. For example, a novice could make someone forget they had a date with their boyfriend. Doing this might make that person not love their boyfriend. However, a prodigy can manipulate emotion and simply spellbind that person into not loving their boyfriend.

Regeneration
If a limb has been cut off, the body's cells and molecules can be manipulated into reforming the lost body part. Rigor mortis, or a stiffening of the body, sets in about two to six hours after death. While the body as a whole may be dead, little things within the body are still alive. Skin cells, for example, can be visibly harvested for up to 24 hours after death. This gives a werewolf within 24 hours to have something regenerated.
