On her own, since she was 18, Zatanna is in the search for her father, as well as coming into her own as a powerful magician in her rights. |

She can cast spells by speaking them backward, writing them down in blood, or even using sign language, and in doing so, could exact her will and whim upon the physical world. Given her young age, however, she is still exploring her limitations in that arena, and while her potential is borderline limitless, what she can do with her Logomancy is limited by her relative inexperience.<br><br> |

Handheld items like weapons, or worn items such as clothing, can be almost effortlessly transformed by her. Larger mass (or vast quantity) would require extreme concentration and possibly the invocation of additional spells to boost her power. Transforming living things is possible, but extremely unpredictable in its results, and so she avoids it as much as she can, except for healing. She can also transform things into simulacra of living things (e.g. turning a bazooka into a bunny rabbit), but these things are only simulacra: she cannot create sentient, let alone sapient, life. |

A mansion of vast mystical properties, it is not always situated in the same locale for extended periods. Mystical wards protect the mansion from unwanted trespassers, and other incantations are used to render it invisible to those untrained in the mystic arts. Recently, Shadowcrest has been appearing in the Gotham County region just outside Gotham City. While once the home of mage Giovanni Zatara, it has since been passed down to his daughter Zatanna. Zatanna maintains an extensive occult library inside the mansion and the house is staffed with faux servants created through magic. Another security feature at Shadowcrest is its voice recognition security system, a complex spell that serves as a "magic word" for gaining access to the front foyer.<br><br> |
