Abilities
Essokinesis
Megan's power was originally assumed to be the ability to create illusions, but in fact, her power "pulls" items from another reality into this reality.[citation needed] This caused the illusions she creates to be extremely realistic, nearly impossible to distinguish using any detecting method.[3] Also, since the ability tends to pull things from a "nearby" parallel universe (among the Reckoners multiverse), a tricky fact is that the illusions she creates are actually possibilities. This can be used to somewhat predict the future; if something is going to happen, it is possible that it will happen the same way as Megan's illusions.[3]
When Megan stretches her ability or within a very short time after her reincarnation, she can be powerful enough to make her illusions become real, creating actual effects and bordering on omnipotence.[4][5] However, stretching her ability makes her prone to the corruption of Calamity.
Reincarnation
Megan has the ability to reborn with a new body roughly one day after her death.[citation needed] A big portion of memory is lost in the process.[citation needed] This makes her a High Epic.
Weakness
Fire causes the shadows that Megan summons to be dispelled. She thinks that if she is killed by fire, she won't reincarnate.[6] Megan confronted her fear, dispelling the majority of the darkness, but she still feels its effects if she overuses her abilities, or after reincarnating.
