"Scope out every angle of unfair advantage" - Up the Wolves by The Mountain Goats

Mundane

Forever fond of music, Oisin has a wonderful singing voice and can play both violin and guitar. He enjoys a wide range of songs from traditional Irish folk tunes to more indie rock. He's a competent teacher, stemming from his paternal instincts and a natural knack for finding ways to explain a topic, although his preferred subjects are music and magic.

An unexpected boon from being part selkie is how well Oisin can swim. Granted he's far faster, more powerful and overall plain better in his seal form, he can still easily outdo any casual swimmer in the water.

Due to his career and background he's learned how to pick locks, fire and maintain a gun,

Magical

Oisin's magic stems from his selkie blood and, while hindered by his lack of a sealskin coat, it is still very powerful due to his constant training and honing of what powers he can access. His magic largely focuses on illusions and sensory manipulation, deceiving a person's mind and senses to entertain, incapacitate or torment them.

His most often displayed skill is to create vivid illusions, ranging from something obviously fake to help explain a concept, to an extremely life-like vision or setting, as if one is in a scenario. This includes creating sounds, the sensation of warmth, coldness or humidity and more, along with the visuals. Certain illusions can be used for self-defense or for an attack. One such spell causes a target to believe they're trapped in a net, rendering them immobile unless they have the strength of mind to overcome it. More aggressive tricks of Oisin's include creating an overwhelming clash of contrasting sensations to overload one's mind, or to create an immense feeling of agony throughout a person's body.

Another magical talent is to alter his own body. While lacking a sealskin he can still transform into a seal; he simply lacks the ability to stay as one without maintaining the spell. He's also capable of turning invisible and copying the appearance of others, usually to 'borrow' the form of his sister when he wants to appear female. He can also cast these spells on others, allowing him to disguise them.
