Editing Revel (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Revel had displayed the ability to manipulate and capture diverse forms of energy<ref name="24.4 e2">Revel flew to the injured Wards, but didn’t have the strength to stand. Instead, she raised her lantern, ready for the next strike.<br/><br/>The Yàngbǎn hadn’t even raised their forcefields again when he hit us with lightning once more.<br/><br/>Revel absorbed the initial impact, sucking it into her lantern.<br/><br/>I wasn’t close enough to benefit. I saw the lightning twist in the air as Behemoth swept his hand out to one side, striking another two Yàngbǎn members, just out of the lantern’s reach. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/crushed-24-4/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref><ref name="24.3 e1"/> with her lantern and then use that energy to launch orbs at her enemies. The more energy she collects,the greater the charge she has for her orbs, which are roughly a foot across and deep each, and can follow complex flight patterns that she sets along with specific detonations.<ref name="Rpg 198">Energy storage/absorption, projects energy mines with programmed effects.<br/><br/>The 'lantern' case is simply an easy way to tow around her personal battery. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?690769-Worm-thread-Gimel-Tinker-Taylor-Weaver-Worm&p=16884819#post16884819 rpg.net]</ref> She can also reprogram these orbs after they have been launched,<ref name="26.a e1">Revel opened fire with a dozen orbs, but the enemy avoided them with an almost casual ease.  She reprogrammed them, altering the orbs’ properties, and this time they homed in on their targets.  The [[Harbinger]]s dodged them, used the changed trajectories to lure them into nearly striking the D.T. officer and Chevalier.  She stopped, hanging back. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/interlude-26a/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26a]]</ref> and can decide whether they damage allied targets or not.<ref name="24.3 e1"/>

This allows her to survive lighting blasts from Behemoth,<ref name="24.4 e1">I could only hope he’d bounce back. To business. “Revel. American cape with sort of an Asian-themed costume, lantern. Where is she?”<br/><br/>“Zapped,” Regent said.<br/><br/>You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.<br/><br/>My disbelief was tempered by a measure of alarm. I was limited in time, and that was bad enough, but if Phir Sē decided our defending forces weren’t sufficient to put up a fight, he could strike sooner. If I couldn’t find someone capable of leading the defense, if we were little more than scattered remnants, why would Phir Sē wait?<br/><br/>“Revel absorbs energy, kind of,” I said. “She might be okay.”<br/><br/>“She got hit by ''lightning'',” Regent told me. “Kind of lethal.”<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>“She conscious?”  I asked, as I landed.<br/><br/>“She is,” Revel answered for herself.  She seemed to have to work to focus on me.  “Weaver?” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/crushed-24-4/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.4]]</ref> though she was blown back far enough that she received a head injury.<ref name="25.3 e1"/>

Revel also has the ability to fly.<ref name="24.3 e1">Revel, leader of the Chicago Protectorate and official overseer of Tecton’s Ward team, was stepping up to the plate. Floating up to it, whatever. She rose into the air, and caught one full current of lightning inside her lantern. The sheer force of the blast knocked her back, and she struck a wall, pressed against it with her lantern held in front of her.<br/><br/>She began releasing spheres of light from the lantern, each larger than a human head, slow-moving but numerous. Their trajectories were unpredictable, some striking friendlies, others carrying forward towards Behemoth. Where they struck friendlies, they only exploded in brilliant showers of sparks. When they touched Behemoth, they sheared right into him, cutting two or three feet deep before flickering out.<br/><br/>When she saw it was working, she only intensified the assault, spending the charge she’d accumulated to create fifty more orbs, before hurrying forward to intercept another stream of lightning that was flowing from Behemoth’s claw-tip. It was impossible to actually get in front before the lightning appeared, to save the lives that Behemoth was taking with the initial moments the lightning appeared, but she was stopping the lightning from flickering to the fourth, fifth or sixth target. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/crushed-24-3/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.3]]</ref>
