Medusa: Difference between revisions

Like Medusa from mythology, she is capable of turning others into stone by using her glare. However, ''[[Medusa's Revenge]]'' depicted her turning people into stone using magical bolts fired from her fingers. As the goddess of darkness, Medusa specializes in dark magic. As such, Medusa primarily makes use of it in battle. Medusa attacks with various dark magic blasts such as various eye beams, dark energy mines that float for a few seconds before exploding, energy barriers, and energy orbs that spawn multiple energy orbs. Medusa also uses her magic to create a mask of beauty and hide her true appearance. However, when forced to use her full strength, the disguise falters. In her true form, the snakes in her hair can fire energy blasts.  

Medusa seems to have a preference to strictly teleport as a way to move around, instead of combining the ability with levitation like most gods do. She also seems to possess telekinesis, able to keep Pit away from her with a powerful gust of wind and bombard him with petrified [[Skuttler]]s. When not using any of her magical abilities, she can attack ferociously with her sharp claws or deliver a powerful punch.

She has some limited ability to read the minds of other as shown in [[Chapter 9]] of ''Uprising''. She states to have used Pit's and [[Hewdraw]]'s memories to recreate parts of [[That Burning Town]], albeit it wasn't too accurate. This also shows Medusa is capable of illusionary magic and can create things that are not really there.

 

Like Hades, Medusa appears to have the ability to manipulate souls and mould them into any shape or form, as soul-made copies of Twinbellows, Hewdraw, and Pandora can be found in her castle. However, this ability is far less powerful than Hades's, as she can only create copies of others rather than revive them fully. Also, the clones are imperfect, as Medusa couldn't make the Pandora clone talk. Like many of the other deities, she can create large astral projections of herself and communicate via telepathy.
