Cinereal is noted for her raw power and durability.<ref name="IRC-1.1"/><ref name="IRC-1.4"/>

Cinereal creates large amounts of particulate "ash" across an area, spreading it with waves and blasts as well as creating plumes from her body when struck or striking during combat. The sticky ash seeps into and strengthens nearby structures.<ref name="IRC-1.3">Her power involves creating patches of ash’. In waves, blasts, and on violent contact with a surface, she creates plumes of particulate matter that bleed into the surroundings, converting and effectively protecting it. The resulting matter is dense, heavy, and clings to itself enough that it doesn’t tend to form major clouds, instead collecting on surroundings in crude dunes, some gravity-defying. It is of a volume and weight to easily bury others, forcing those caught in a wave to use raw strength to fight their way free.<br/><br/>Cinreal can use the material as an extension of herself - it cannot be moved, but she can cover herself and reform/launch herself out of a collection of the particulate, spearing forward and creating more ‘ash’ on impact with a person or location. Doing so consumes a portion of the matter.<br/><br/>On being wounded enough that her life might be in danger, she will automatically ‘perish’ and reform nearby, again, consuming a portion of the matter, being partially restored in the process.<br/><br/>She has the ability to set her breaker state and the ‘ash’ on fire. These flames burn at an extremely high temperature (1100 degrees celsius), and consume the ash at a steady rate. She almost never uses this power. The flames can spread, but all flames can be simultaneously extinguished as she exits her breaker form. She is fireproof. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/32013632/ Link made on the IRC] archived on Spacebattles</ref> Her power was thus more effective when she remained in one location.<ref name="10.11 2">Vista and Golem were in attendance along with Cinereal- and I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad one.  On any other day, objective, I would have said she was the perfect person for the role.  She was serious, focused, and she had an angry edge to her, but always controlled.  Controlled anger was, in my opinion, perfect for the current crisis.  She had been a heavy hitter in Atlanta, which hosted a major arm of Watchdog, unusual in that she didn’t tend to leave her city, even for Endbringer fights, because her power was best if she stuck to one location. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/01/polarize-10-11/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.11]]</ref> Once the ash is created, she has no ability to move it, but can absorb it into herself or ignite it (see below.)<ref name="IRC-1.3"/><ref name="IRC-2">Ridtom: But it also can't be moved by her power, yet she can somehow cover herself with it?<br/>Ridtom: And also somehow draw the matter into herself in order to deactivate her Breaker power?<br/>Wildbow: Divebomb a location, spread ash in radius around impact site, bury foes, operate within radius of ash to rinse/repeat.<br/>Ridtom: Ah, I was overthinking it. But still, her being unable to move the ash, but still being able to draw it into herself?<br/>Ridtom: Isn't that kind of contradictory?<br/>Wildbow: More a night hag thing.

Cinereal can absorb and coat herself in the ash, consuming it in order to teleport and/or heal herself (which automatically kicks in if she is mortally injured.)<ref name="IRC-1.3"/> Once she has activated this [[breaker]] state, she is unable to leave the area of ash until she has used up all the ash in the area, in a time-consuming process that heals any injuries she took during the battle.<ref name="IRC-1.6">She can’t leave her breaker state voluntarily. Remaining stationary, typically after climbing to a high perch where she won’t be bothered by civilian or news crews, she’ll draw the matter to herself, absorbing it and healing her wounds. Once entering into a confrontation, she is effectively tethered to the location. It is partially for this reason that she has avoided Endbringer encounters, and partially because her power is effectively countered by each of the three. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/32013632/ Link made on the IRC] archived on Spacebattles</ref> When she exits her breaker state, any nearby flames are simultaneously extinguished.<ref name="IRC-1.3"/>

As a leader she has always had a reputation for being a talent scout.<ref name=18a>Eric [...] just lost his mentor, he’ll be starting from square one working under me.  It’s possible he’ll rise in the ranks quickly, if Cinereal’s assessment of him is correct.  She always had a great eye for nascent talent. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/16/ Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.1]]</ref>
==='Fire' Power===
Cinereal has another ability that she almost never uses - she can set herself and the nearby ash on fire, causing it to burn at 1100 degrees C and consuming it at a steady rate.<ref name="IRC-1.8"><br/>She has the ability to set her breaker state and the ‘ash’ on fire.

She used this ability more liberally when she went by Ash Phoenix, but was forbidden from doing so for an extended period of time.<ref name="IRC-1.2"/>

|-|Ashen Titan=
The Ashen Titan gained a massive increase in range, in addition she now converts inorganic matter inside her range into the ash, and can fully control and shape the ash.<ref>The Ashen Titan.  Formerly Warden Cinereal.  Her reach was already extensive, especially when she was in an area for any length of time.  It has increased manifold.  She converts inorganic matter within a certain radius to ash she can telekinetically control and shape.  We sent an expedition out to reach out and try to open communication, she superheated her ash, and the heated air that resulted killed the capes at the cloudline.  We can safely assume she is no longer on our side.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/11/19/ Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.2]]</ref>

The building, as well as other structures in her way, dissolve into ash dunes, however they are reconstructed once she leaves the area. The sheer amount of particulate dampens the sounds into near silence in her vicinity.<ref>The Ashen Titan walked between buildings, and she didn’t go on the offensive.  Her ash did collect around her, with buildings in her range being consumed by her power, turned to dense and heavy powder, and collapsing to form dunes and waves that shifted and swirled in a loose circle around her.<br/><br/>When she moved on, it reconstituted as best as it could.  Buildings were rebuilt, kind of.  That which was lost to the cracks was gone and didn’t reconstitute, and because it tended to be material from the same areas, the reconstituted matter tended to be from one floor or one wall of a building.  Buildings fell or were rebuilt on their sides.  Where she herself was quieter than silent, muting and nullifying sounds in her vicinity with a constant background noise of powder brushing against powder, that silence didn’t extend to the crumbling buildings in her wake.<br/><br/>There was a big danger in how those dunes and waves masked the cracks in reality.  For people on the ground, it was easy to step into a valley between dunes, only to fall through, pulled beneath.  Even where there were fliers or teleporters ready to catch anyone in a pinch, the ashen powder would block their view of the victim.  There one second, gone the next.<br/><br/>The other, bigger danger was that the powder was combustible.  Selectively combustible.  She barely seemed to care about me carving a furrow into her circle of powder, up until Colt flew past her, raking her with the blade hand.<br/><br/>The ‘ash’ rose up, and ignited, chasing behind Colt, not directly on a course for me, but damn well close enough. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/21/infrared-19-6/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.6]]</ref>
