She was a [[Soulcaster]],{{ref|b|twok|c|5}} an atheist{{ref|b|twok|c|7}} and a heretic. <!--- She used a fake fabrial soulcaster in public to hide her inherent soulcasting ability. --- this is not confirmed yet though there are some threads theorizing that on the forum --->
Jasnah was publicly training [[Shallan Davar]] as her ward. <!--- and privately began teaching her [[Soulcasting]] --- at the end of TWoK she told she would teach Shallan but she didn't already do so. --->
{{quote|Ignorance is hardly unusual, Miss Davar. The longer I live, the more I come to realize that it is the natural state of the human mind. There are many who will strive to defend its sanctity and then expect you to be impressed with their efforts.|Jasnah to [[Shallan Davar]] {{ref|b|twok|c|5}}}}
==Soulcasting==
Jasnah's ability was Soulcasting. There were four occasions she showed Soulcasting.
The first was when the granddaughter of [[Taravangian]] was imprisoned behind a large chunk of rock in the depths for Taravangian's palace. He searched Jasnah out and pled her to remove the rock with Soulcasting. In return she were granted access to the [[Palanaeum]]. So she turned the rock to smoke to free the granddaughter and her attendants.{{ref|b|twok|c|5}}
The second was the "lesson" she gave Shallan by killing the four thugs that endangered theater goers in [[Kharbranth]].{{ref|b|twok|c|36}}
The third was the Soulcasting of her portion of Kabsal's jam and bread while visiting Shallan in hospital.{{ref|b|twok|c|48}}
And the fourth was Soulcasting Shallan's blood after she got poisoned from Kabsal's bread.{{ref|b|twok|c|48}}{{ref|b|twok|c|50}}
==Atheism==
Jasnah was an atheist<!--- but doesn't preclude to eventually join a devotary... I'm sure I've read this somewhere--->. When asked by Taravangian whether it's not hard for her, she replied that atheism is not a disease. Prodding at her -- thinking she had nothing to believe as an atheist -- she answered:
{{quote|I wouldn’t say that I have nothing to believe in, Your Majesty. Actually, I have much to believe in. My brother and my uncle, my own abilities. The things I was taught by my parents.|Jasnah to Taravangian{{ref|b|twok|c|29}}}}
==Veristitalianism==
Veristitalians were an order of scholars. Jasnah referred to other Veristitalians as her sisters. They search the past, trying to reconstruct what truly happened, as they think of most of the historical works were influenced by their writers. If they succeeded with such matters they wanted to learn from this unaltered insights for the presence.{{ref|b|twok|c|45}}
