===Stilling=== Scion's primary ability is the power to negate any kind of wavelength using manifestations of golden light. This effect is ''extremely'' versatile; among its uses are the cancellation of heat and sound, the disintegration of molecular bonds, slowing or stopping motion, negating the effects of virtually any parahuman ability,<ref name=":0" /> and disruption of electronics.<ref name="24.ye1">When Scion uses his power it disturbs electronics. Its why when he flies you can't track him unless its with your eyes. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/interlude-24-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.y]]</ref> At its deadliest, Scion's "stilling" can simply stop all bodily functions in a human, essentially killing them instantly.<ref>One strike of palm against palm, and the shockwave swept past us as if in slow motion, moving past every portal in the area that was still open. It passed through flesh, and it ''stilled''.<br><br>It was the same effect he’d used to quiet Leviathan’s waves, the same effect that had frozen floodwaters in their tracks and the same ability that had given him so much presence.<br><br>Objects in motion ''stopped''. Portals winked out, warm things plummeted in temperature, cell and neural activity was interrupted. Blood stopped in people’s veins.<br><br>Every cape that had been touched by this ''stillness'' dropped to the ground, lifeless. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/speck-30-5/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.5]]</ref> Scion's light can be fired as beams, orbs, or area bursts, and can be used as a force field or transmitted by touch; essentially, he can shape his light into any form he wishes.<ref name=":0" /> All of Scion's "stilling" effects are completely silent, including his movements and his attacks.<ref>Scion turned away from Eidolon to focus on the enemy once more. He blasted the Endbringer again. Floated up and moved past Bitch and me faster than I could see, to strike the Endbringer a fraction of a second after the blast of light struck, stopping there in midair to blast Leviathan a second time as the Endbringer was still flying through the air at the punch’s impact. Everything about Scion and his actions was utterly silent. His movements or attacks didn’t even stir the air. Only the effects, Leviathan striking the water, the breaking of ice, generated any movement, shudders or sounds. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17 Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> Thus Scion's offensive blasts can range greatly in power, from pencil-thin cutting beams<ref>A pencil-thin beam lanced out from his fingertips. A sweep of his hand, waist-level, and it cut through the crowd. Cut through thighs, knees, calves, feet. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/21 Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.2]]</ref> to continent-destroying blasts.<ref>He came out swinging, obliterating two continents on two different worlds before he found ''us''. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/speck-30-5/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.5]]</ref> He has practically infinite range as he can shoot across oceans;<ref>It gathered its power, then aimed at the nearest, largest population center. Kevin Norton’s birthplace.<br><br>The golden light speared forth, and the island shattered, folding, parts of it rising from the ocean. Crumpled like paper in a fist.<br><br>The entity did not eliminate the smoke or the waves that followed. It simply let the aftermath occur.<br><br>The simulated human mind within the entity felt a glimmer of something at that. Pleasure? Relief? Satisfaction?<br><br>Something deeper inside, something primal, tied to memories back in the beginning, before the beginning, responded in a very similar fashion.<br><br>The entity extended its perceptions outward, felt the reaction, the outcry. It turned words around in its head, as if it were broadcasting to itself.<br>[...]<br>The entity opened fire once again, and this time it struck out at the coastline on the opposite side of the ocean. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26]]</ref> his blasts can track targets by curving in mid-air.<ref>Eidolon froze the water around Leviathan’s four claws, giving Scion the opportunity to land another blast. Leviathan turned, raised a spraying wall of water to cover his retreat. Scion sent out one blast of his golden light to strike the wave, following up with a second blast before the first even made contact with the water.<br><br>Seeing the second blast coming, Leviathan leaped to one side. No use – the blast of light curved in the air to head unerringly for him, struck him down. Edges of the Endbringer’s wounds glowed golden yellow, drifted away into the air like flecks of burning paper caught in the updraft of hot air. A fist imprint near the base of Leviathan’s throat glowed with edges of the same light, the wound continuing to spread and burn as I watched. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17 Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref><ref>Scion attacked again, picking different targets. King of Cups created more phantom limbs, an array of twelve or so arms of varying size that spread out from his shoulders, and caught a teammate’s hand. He was pulled out of the way, but the sphere swerved in the air, drifting his way. It crashed into one of his shoulders, and dashed the arms to smithereens. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/21/venom-29-2/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.2]]</ref> The detrimental effects of Scion's light lingers, continuing to eat away at any damaged targets.<ref>Right hand gone. Blood, fragments of golden light eating away at stump, making the bleeding worse. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24 Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.5]]</ref> This lingering effect can kill a man all on its own.<ref>He caught his target around the throat.<br><br>Didn’t squeeze.<br><br>But the golden light began to eat into the target’s body and costume. Scion let the man drop.<br><br>Not a scream. Only twitching, frantic thrashing as the golden light continued to consume. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/19 Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.1]]</ref> Scion can also use his power defensively, using it to create physical barriers or cancel out the effects of offensive powers.<ref name=":0" /> His stilling can also close portals and even stop the [[Simurgh]]'s song.<ref>Scion held back on shooting again, instead charging himself with power. When he released it, it manifested as a slow radiance, a sphere of light that expanded from him in slow motion. The tear in reality dissipated, and everything the light touched stopped. Shifting clouds went still, objects that were flying through the air ceased moving and simply fell, and the ambient noises of destruction, fire and fighting was replaced by an all-too brief silence. Even the Simurgh’s song, Krouse realized, had momentarily stopped. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/10 Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.3]]</ref> Finally, Scion's light can have healing abilities, such as when Scion cures a man of cancer<ref name="I1" /> or when he uses his light to heal the capes around him upon his arrival in the [[Behemoth vs New Delhi|battle against Behemoth]].<ref>Scion lowered himself to nearly ground level. His golden hair moved in the wind as he gazed over the battlefield. His white bodysuit was smudged here or there on the sleeves, but otherwise seemed so pristine that it seemed to ''glow'' in the gloom.<br><br>No, part of that glow was real. The faint light touched Chevalier, and he could feel his breathing ease. It was reaching out to everyone present.<br><br>''A consolation prize? A bit of healing? Maybe a helping hand against the radiation, for the others?''<br><br>He managed a soft laugh. The glow was making the pain easier to handle. He could almost breathe, now.<br><br>He closed his eyes, and he felt a tear roll down from the corner of his eye. He suspected he wouldn’t have been able to tear up without the healing. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.x]]</ref>
