hello. this is your gd reminder that sara lance is smarter than half the people give her credit for. so i'm going to:
multilingual - she knows ten languages: english, spanish, mandarin, russian, arabic, tibetan, latin, greek, some enochian, ˙⅋ hebrew.
she's a highly trained tactician - years of literally just trying to figure out how to survive the next thirty seconds taught her to think so many steps ahead. every environment she's survived rewarded careful planning over brute force.
hate to say it but master interrogator ˙⅋ torturer. ivo mentored her for a year. she was personally taught by ra's. she's 100% admitted that he taught her how to kill someone over a period of days. days. oh but britt, britt torture is a physical ability. partly. because do you know how much knowledge you have to have to be able to extend someone's life over a period of days ? i don’t but i bet it’s a lot.
she has medical knowledge. i'll do a deep ass dive on everything she learned from ivo one day because that man taught her more than anyone wants to acknowledge. to give a list within a list - here's a brief overview of everything she learned while she was with ivo:
forensics, chemistry, first aid, spell casting, rituals, ˙⅋ interrogation techniques that usually crossed into the realm of torture.
occult botany. the woman spent a long time looking for the leviathan blossom for ivo. she knows a lot about magical herbs, poisonous plants, spell ingredients, ˙⅋ ritual flora. it's annoying honestly.
ritual analysis is probably my favorite because she enjoys it. with her time in the league she got really familiar with ˙⅋ good at studying sigils, ritual circles, blood patterns, altar arrangements, candles, offerings, ˙⅋ spell construction. she can normally tell you what kind of magic was used, how recently, ˙⅋ what it was meant to do.
again, because of ivo she has a solid grasp on alchemy. she's very comfortable with potion brewing, antidotes, ˙⅋ magical chemistry.
she's good at stealing shit. an expert thief. again, you gotta be smart to steal ˙⅋ not get caught.
