What are the powers of all the red kings children?

Answer 1

• Picture traveling: Being able to look at a painting or photograph and "go in", meaning to actually go into the painting/photo and meet the person(s) depicted in it. Charlie has this ability, first discovering it when he finds a photo of Dr. Tolly and Emma as an infant and hearing the sounds from when the picture was taken. Apparently Charlie's picture traveling ability strengthens as the series progresses, since at first he can only hear sounds and voices, but later he is able to go into paintings/photos. The only drawback of his ability is that if he looks at a photograph and hears the voices, whoever is in the photo will see his face at that moment; if he looks at a picture of someone who wishes him harm, they will see Charlie and recognise him later. One of Charlie's ancestors, Charles Pennybuck, is mentioned to also have had this ability.
• Telekinesis: The ability to move objects with one's own mind. Zelda Dobinski, Beth Strong, Idith Branko, and her twin Inez all have this ability and they all use it for rather nasty purposes.
• Power boosting: The ability to boost up the energy in light bulbs to the point where they explode. Charlie's great uncle Paton has this ability and it seems to be closely tied with his emotions. For example, when he first developed the talent when he was seven, it had been his birthday; he was so ecstatic that he had exploded all of the light bulbs in the house. At first Paton feels that his power is useless and uncontrollable, but as the series progresses he explores how it works. In The Time Twister he finds that when he is reading or relaxed, light bulbs around him don't explode. When his light bulb-exploding powers are in use, there is a sound around him that is "like a feeling of humming, as if the air around...were charged with soundless music."
• Psychometry through clothing: Being able to feel someone's emotions by wearing one of their articles of clothing. Gabriel Silk can do this, and therefore it is rather painful for him to wear used clothes.
• Flight: Being able to transform into a bird. Emma Tolly does this, but doesn't like it very much as she worries that it might sometime go wrong. If her fingers are injured, she cannot fly because the wing tips of her bird form would be damaged, so this is one of her major weaknesses. Apparently, when Emma turns into a bird she can understand animal languages.
• Invisibility: The ability to become transparent from view at will. Una Ominous ( Mr. Ominous's four year old niece) can do this and she uses this talent for good, helping Charlie and his friends break the spell Manfred had put on Charlie's father.
• Illusion Casting: The ability to create images that aren't really there at will. Olivia Vertigo discovers that she has this particular endowment in The Castle of Mirrors. Olivia uses her endowment for good (like when she used it to create a fierce warrior to force Dr. Bloor into granting Billy the right to spend the weekends with whomever he wants to)and for fun (when she creates a giant alligator to scare Dorcas when she won't stop whining).
• Animal Conversation: Gives the person the ability to communicate with animals. Billy Raven and Lyell Bone have this endowment.
• Fire Tamer: Gives the endowed human to create devastating fire. Can also heat objects by touch. Manfred Bloor later receives this power after losing his hypnotism.
• Hypnotism:Gives the person power to hypnotize others. Manfred Bloor has that power but loses it and turns into a Fire Tamer and later gets hypnotism back.
• Luck and Grace:Gives a person the ability to have good luck. Cook has this ability and so does her sister Pearl.
• Clairvoyance: give a person power to see in to the future. Eustacia Yewbeam has this power.
• Shape Shifting:gives the person power to turn into whatever they desire. Yorath and Yolanda Yewbeam have this power.
• Were-beast: gives the owner of this magic to transform into a type of werewolf at dusk. Asa pike has this endowment.
• Storm Bringer: lets the person bring thunder, lighting, rain, wind, and snow. Tancred Torsson has this endowment.
• Spirit Summoner: lets the person summon up spirits. Lysander Sage posseses this power.
• "Drowning lets the person make others feel the pain of drowning. Dagbert Endless posseses this power
