Jasnah was publicly training Shallan Davar as her ward.

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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

Atheism
Jasnah was an atheist. 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:
“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.”
