Powers & Abilities
The first and most present of Kane's abilities is, of course, flight. With wings in both forms and hollow bones, he can fly most anywhere with ease, though like all flying creatures he does get tired after a long while. While he can carry others with him, he's far from practiced in doing so -- carrying someone means he gets tired faster and he can only carry a handful of light people or one heavy one.
Like all Saener, Kane can shapeshift into a winged, horned horse form. This "alicorn" form is gigantic (bigger than a Clydesdale) and generally fairly intimidating looking. While in this form, he can't speak normally (a horse's vocal chords aren't made for human speech), but he can communicate via a telepathic link of sorts, though it is somewhat tiring to use it over and over, meaning he'll prefer to switch to his human form for long conversations.
Kane is a being heavily seeped in magic. Despite his bones being hollow, they're reinforced with magic, meaning they're just as difficult to break (if not more so) than a normal human's bones. Along with this, being a paladin, he's been trained in healing and holy arts, allowing his magic to heal anyone who needs it or harm anyone who threatens him or his friends (with even more pain applied to undead or unholy creatures). Unlike others, this magic has no specific form -- it is holy magic, but that's the only thing defined about it, as Kane can use or shape it as he pleases, whether to do the aforementioned healing/fighting, to enchant something, or to infuse an object with light so that it can be used as a pseudo-lantern.
Unfortunately, this means that he is also heavily dependent on magic. If something happens to null his connection with it, even just temporary, he becomes ridiculously fragile and fairly easy to badly hurt. Unlike most races, however, Saener have a high resistance to things that would null their magic in any way and rarely fall under this trap -- Kane is no exception.
