morri's powers! to be paired with this post and this post (upcoming)
part 2 of morrigan infoposting. today we focus on what abilities morri has. they are, technically, only half-god because of simon, but as a separated fragment of GOLB's chaos, morrigan is a full deity and embodies change, something not necessarily good or bad.
info beneath the cut.
TRANSMUTATION AND TRANSFORMATION: the primary way change manifests is as morrigan's ability to change the properties of anything they can get their hands on. they can break down an object to their basic components, change its state of being (i.e. turning a solid to liquid or gas, regardless of temperature) or turn it into something else entirely by altering its chemical makeup.
PORTALS: much like GOLB(etty), morri can open up portals. they can either do this by physically ripping a hole in the fabric of reality with their claws, which is easier, or by concentrating enough to mentally punch a hole in the universe instead. in either case, morrigan cannot just go from one place to another without first traveling to their empty pocket dimension between. this means they have to open a portal, go through, and then open another portal to the desired location.
DREAMWALKING, PLANESHIFTING: morrigan's ability to dreamwalk and interact with other planes comes to them as a basic deity ability. they exist on a higher plane of existence than a mortal, and can kind of show up wherever they want as they aren't trapped. the caveat is morrigan has a physical body, so while they can dreamwalk they need to have a physical connection to their target and will go unconscious while they do so.
TIME TRAVEL: while much more difficult, with enough concentration they can portal past time. this takes a lot of effort and temporarily weakens them.
THE OLD LANGUAGE: morri is capable of understanding GOLB's speech and the language used by the primordial monsters. they're a lot less confident in speaking it, especially since mortals aren't meant to comprehend the words. they don't want to hurt anyone.
RESURRECTION: while technically morri cannot bring back the dead without disastrous consequences, they can steal the lifeforce from living things and give that vitality to someone else- provided they have enough of a connection to the person they're trying to save. this takes immense effort, and morrigan has only had to do it once.
Reminder why D*sney and other greedy companies are doing "live action" "remasters" is because-
2D Animation was unionized and given certain protections from being exploited, overworked and underpaid. So companies moved 2D animation overseas for cheaper workers and no protection laws for their animators.
3D and SFX animation is still not given similar protections yet! And are being overworked and underpaid for their efforts!!!
JellyBox Studio will keep you informed of how mid/late-stage capitalism is killing the animation industry!
