Special Note: Abdul was rather...abruptly parted from his arms above the elbow when Vanilla Ice killed him with his Stand. I have not had this injury healed upon entry into the game. Most of the time, he will be found using his telekinesis to fill the sleeves of his robe making it look like his arms are there and that his hands are just hidden by his sleeves or because his arms are crossed over his chest etc. As his telekinesis is limited, the illusion is far from flawless and will fail if his attention is elsewhere or he uses his telekinesis for another action. Abdul is not embarrassed by his loss; he is merely trying not to make a big deal of it or make anyone else uncomfortable.


» POWER THREE (Weapon Upgrade) - Return Flight - After Abdul uses his telekinesis to throw one of his Tarot cards, the card will return to him in one of two ways depending on the result of the throw. If the card misses its target or cuts it, but continues passed, it will boomerang back to him. He cannot control the return path of the card. The only constant is that it will return to him. If the card is embedded in something after the throw, it will remain there for 1-2 minutes before vanishing and reappearing in his deck ready to be thrown again if needed.

» POWER FOUR (Passive) - Fortunetelling (Yes/No) - Once a week, Abdul can ask his tarot deck a 'yes' or 'no' question and be given the correct answer. He will ask the question, shuffle the deck, and cut it three times. The card on top will then be drawn. If it is upright (normal card orientation), the answer to the question is 'yes.' If the card is reversed, the answer is 'no.' As most answers are not really that clear cut, any answer he gets may end up being misleading.

When this ability is used for a simple character related question, the answer will be gotten from the mun in advance or the tag in which the answer will be revealed left so that mun can say whether the card is upright or reversed as the answer dictates. Should a plot related question be asked, the question will be sent to the mods for approval and a new answer option will be added. If the card on top of the deck after the three cuts is face up, it means the deck (aka: the mods) have declined to answer. This result can be used in any situation where the question is too plot relevant to be answered.

» POWER FIVE (Active) - Fire Summon Upgrade: Medium Familiar/Construct - A Stand By Any Other Name - In addition to upgrading the amount of fire Abdul can summon at once, he can manipulate the summoned fire into a medium-sized shape or familiar, no larger two feet tall. The form can be anything from basic shapes, letters etc, to something more complex like an ankh. The familiar, though, tends to default to a small child-like version of a figure very well known to him. It has no mind of its own, instead acting as Abdul remembers his Stand acting when he was a child. The familiar is also bound by a tighter restriction than the rest of his fire, only able to move three feet from him before vanishing, but it can shoot small streams of flame from its mouth and shoot small fireballs from its hands.

If Abdul summons a familiar or creates a construct, it will require all of his available fire no matter if the construct/familiar is actually smaller than his limit. In order to summon more fire, he will need to dismiss the familiar or construct. The familiar alone can break the time limit for his fire summoning, but any damage done to it reflects back to Abdul (just as damage to his Stand would have reflected back to him). In addition, if something destroys the familiar, Abdul will be knocked unconscious by the reflected damage.
