The core of Tabitha's powers is the absorption of any physical, chemical, or electromagnetic energy that intersects her body or extended aura. Her aura is a semi-tangible, amorphous, malleable field of unspecified energy or force that extends out from her body. It is most often congruous with her skin, but can be extended outward up to thirty feet away. She can manipulate the aura to form extra appendages or simple shapes, with the complexity increasing as her skills grow. She can detach smaller aura forms and keep them intact apart from her aura for up to an hour depending on their complexity.
She can control the amount, spectrum, and intensity of the light her aura generates. This combination with her ability to control its shape, texture, and solidity allows her to use her aura as a form of camouflage or personal illusion.
When charged with absorbed energy, the aura alters and reinforces Tabitha's body, providing additional benefits and powers. Her strength and resilience are greatly magnified, to the point where she can easily lift train engines and resist damage from military grade weapons.
Her senses are expanded to include input from any form of radiant energy that contacts her aura (thermal, ultraviolet, x-ray, ultrasound, radar, etc.). They also extend in all directions from her body and as they are connected to her aura, they can be extended around corners or through small openings.
She is capable negating gravity's effect when her aura is extended, allowing her to fly at speeds sightly exceeding mach 2 at present.
When her aura is charged, all damage to her body is healed at a greatly accelerated pace. She can repair any non-lethal damage in a matter of hours, up to and including severed limbs (although these can take as long as a day). By applying her aura directly to the wounds of others, she can heal them quickly by taking their wounds into herself.
She can channel her stored energy out into her aura as solar plasma which acts as a sheath for her body and anything or anyone held within the aura. This energy cannot be projected beyond the aura's edge and only damages targets or surfaces contacting the aura if she chooses.
By suppressing all other aura-granted powers, she can gather and focus her stored energy and then integrate the aura with her body in order to generate a teleportation portal. This portal can reach any destination that she has spent sufficient time in (a minimum of four hours in order to tune herself to a location). She can presently maintain a connection with no more than four locations. Others can use the portal as long as she maintains it, so long as they can fit through. She can presently keep the portal up for no more than two minutes. Using this power drains her energy stores to the point of negating her powers until she receives sufficient recharge.
