Editing Glaistig Uaine (section)

===Vulnerabilities===
Ciara is unable to personally use the powers of collected capes. By default, she is a baseline human who still needs food, rest, and sleep:<ref>A week.<br><br>A weeks of searching, of flying through worlds with only her shadows for company and assistance.  Of finding the meat and vegetables for her own meals, including tubers and edible roots found in nature that were dim substitutes for things found on supermarket shelves.  Her shadows prepared and cooked the meals while she rested.<br><br>A week.  A week, a day, and four hours, and she found the first settlement.  Shattered buildings had been repurposed.  Graves were laid out at the far side of a field.  Water, food, and shelter seemed to be secured. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/20/gleaming-interlude-9/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref> she lacks enhanced reflexes<ref name="reddit eSuperman" /> and durability.<ref>''If he aimed at me and shot me in the heart, if the shadows I’ve instructed to protect me move too slowly, I could die right here''. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/20/gleaming-interlude-9/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref> Thus, it is possible for opponents such as [[Skadi]] to ambush and then hit her before she can react.<ref>He turned his back on her, because the machines were changing direction, fixating on him again.  He smashed one open, prying tech free, as smaller ones began opening fire.  A hail of bullets, missiles, and laser beams.<br><br>Behind him, Valkyrie reappeared.  A shadow appeared behind her.<br><br>Before she could move from where she was, the shadow became Axehead.<br><br>A part of him watched Axehead smack Valkyrie out of the sky. - [[Radiation 18.z]]</ref> To temporarily augment her own personal capabilities (e.g., enhanced movement, poison gas immunity), Ciara must use power-granting shadows in her collection.<ref>Scion and Glaistig Uaine began fighting in earnest.  They weren’t more than a hundred feet apart.  Glaistig Uaine was drawing on spirits with a shorter range, now.<br><br>One with a fox-face that seemed to be granting three different kinds of enhanced movement, teleportation, super speed and flight.  The other two varied from moment to moment.  Some existed so briefly that Glaistig Uaine didn’t even try to keep them afloat in the air, images that lasted two or three seconds, employing their powers before they exceeded her natural range and dissipated.<br><br>Some came back, used powers in different variations.  The ones Scion destroyed, though, they didn’t recur.<br><br>Glaistig Uaine was running out, and running out fast. - [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref><ref>Clouds of silvery poison gas rolled across black sand.  Soldiers in gas masks ran up a hill and slid down the other side, to where rocks provided some cover.<br><br>Valkyrie walked through the poison gas, protected by shadows that had granted her boons before fading away.  Her eyes teared up slightly, but that might have been the silicate dust rather than the chemical weapons. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/20/gleaming-interlude-9/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref> Although she can heal her own injuries by using a [[Healer]] shadow as of 2015,<ref name="II18.z eHealer" /> this granted regeneration takes time and leaves her a sitting duck.<ref>But she had allies. connections.<br><br>He was keeping to the rules, like this.  Having the right allies to watch his back.  Taking a good searching look before he made any decisive moves.  Both with Axehead and with Valkyrie.<br><br>In keeping with those rules, he couldn’t leave it at this.  One decisive shot was good, but the follow-up was essential.  Wading through the Machine Army, he aimed his partially built tinker weapon at Valkyrie.<br><br>Axehead was already gone.<br><br>His tinker device amplified his own power, adding versatility.  His current form enhanced both power and versatility as well.  Combined, they were ''enough''.  He pulled more scraps of metal to his device with reversed beams, and let tendrils of power pull that metal into the right shapes, reinforcing for the decisive shot. - [[Radiation 18.z]]</ref>

She could not engage [[Mama Mathers]] and [[The_Fallen#Mathers|her group]],<ref name="II5.6 eMathers">“We’re not in a position to give you a ''lot'' of firepower,” Chevalier said, emphasizing ‘lot’.  “Valkyrie cannot engage that group of Fallen, and I’m tied up elsewhere with diplomatic roles.  Many other Wardens and subordinate teams are busy.  Advance Guard is on standby.  We’ll ask them to assist you.” - [[Shadow 5.6]]</ref> presumably because Mama Mathers would affect her power vision and any senses from her shadows that perceived her. [[Jack Slash#Vulnerabilities|Without outside interference]], [[Jack Slash#Shard|Jack Slash's secondary power]] prevents her from killing him.<ref name="Reddit interact">'''A)''' Broadcast would reach out to the shard well before the point of that other shard triggering. His very shard interacts with others to dissuade things that would target him. Parahumans don't kill Jack, as a firm rule. This isn't an arbitrary protection. It's an in-story protection that got a fair bit of time and focus in the narrative, toward the end. - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!-- https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/72724278 --><ref name="Reddit eIsolated">You can qualify, you can quibble, you can tack on extra powers, but ''Jack doesn't lose to parahumans''. - Wildbow on Reddit, archived on Spacebattles</ref><!-- https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/73903345 -->

She has to collect capes to amass power; [[Eidolon]] at his prime dwarfed her in power.<ref>She was bent, hands out and cupped.<br><br>Within those cupped hands was Eidolon.  One of the strongest capes in the world.  He had once dwarfed ''Valkyrie'' in power.  There was no reason to think he didn’t have that power now.  The colors of him had been changed around.  A black hood with a reflective emerald face beneath, glowing with a white light.  Black sleeves.  A body suit of emerald, muscular. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/02/08/infrared-19-9/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.9]]</ref><ref name="27.x eReputation">Scion, the Endbringers, they were the others who typically came up in the same breath as Eidolon.  He was the only one of them that was human.  He had less power than they did, but more power than most.<br><br>Glaistig Uaine was one of the others, a contender for the title, though not necessarily in the public’s perception.  The PRT had controlled how much information the public had about her, to keep people from getting too scared.  She was a nonfactor, a captive in the Birdcage.  She’d taken down Gray Boy, had attacked the King’s Men and slain Athrwys, and then she’d turned herself in.<br><br>Easy enough for the average Joe to dismiss her as a lunatic.<br><br>Except Glaistig Uaine had been amassing power during her time in the Birdcage, and he had been losing it.<br><br>Had he been supplanted in his role as the most powerful person in the world? - [[Interlude 27.x‏‎]]</ref> Even during [[Gold Morning]], Ciara believed Eidolon was stronger than her.<ref>“You’re more powerful than I am,” he said.  The words broke him a little.<br><br>She shook her head.<br><br>“No?” he asked.  “Or is this a faerie riddle?  It’s not really ''your'' power?”<br><br>“It’s mine.  Ours.  But you’re stronger than I am.  I can see it.  The issue, High Priest, is that you need to open your eyes.” - [[Interlude 27.x‏‎]]</ref>

Capes that she resurrects with the help of [[Bonesaw]] and [[Nilbog]] are no longer in her collection.<ref>The sad fact was that they weren’t Valkyrie’s.  She didn’t know them, beyond what she’d seen the last time she’d ''had'' them.  She couldn’t know their needs. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/20/gleaming-interlude-9/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref><ref>“Valkyrie sent some of her flock out to find people they used to work with, or to help the Wardens.  She wanted some of us, me included, to stick close to her, because we had tools she needed.  Now that she’s gone, I was thinking of joining with you guys or the Red Hands.” - [[Infrared 19.f]]</ref> To mitigate this loss of power, those resurrected agree to provide Ciara their assistance as members of her [[flock]].<ref>“These ones…” Valkyrie started, searching for the words.  “They died, and I brought them back, with some help.  In exchange for this life, they’ve agreed to provide me with assistance.  Some strangeness is to be expected.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/20/gleaming-interlude-9/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref>
