Here is a brief writeup of Magolor's various powers!

• General Anatomy/Kirby Durability: Some of Magolor's abilities are just inherent to the way he's built or to Kirby game mechanics. He can take a lot of physical punishment (e.g. being hurled into a brick wall or dropped from a massive height doesn't really hurt him), fly limitlessly (in fact he can only get around by doing so since he has no feet), and heal his own injuries by eating or drinking, and he has a range of motion with his hands that wouldn't be possible if he had arms. (His hands can be removed entirely from the vicinity of his body, but it causes him increasing pain the farther away from him they get, and he loses control over them outside of a certain radius.)


• Face to Face: This is the healing mechanic in Kirby games—characters can, if they've just healed themselves by eating, kiss another character to share the HP regain with them. I play him as capable of doing this with all species except in games where it's prohibited, because it's funny. For this reason, Magolor doesn't take kissing very seriously.


• Friend Revival: In Star Allies and Super Kirby Clash, PCs can revive fallen allies with half HP using some handwavey bullshit magical mechanic. I like to keep this ability too where I can. It's not all-powerful: it takes uninterrupted concentration to do it, and if he has to do it repeatedly, it takes longer every time to manage it.


• Craftsmanship/Artificer: Side materials have made it pretty clear that Magolor also does actually make at least some of the things he sells in his various shops (though not the food), which gives him a very wide range of skills in crafting both mundane items like plushies and magical items like weapons and armor. He is very good at all kinds of handicrafts or repairs and can enchant items with various effects.


• Engineering: Along with the above, Magolor was also able to restore the Lor Starcutter to working order and is able to engineer involved entertainment attractions and machines. You know, for funsies!


• Hypnosis: Honestly this is a start screen gag in Star Allies and never gets any more attention or explanation than that, but I think it's funny, so I'm down for playing with this ability. It's a minor skill and I'm only really interested in using it for humor purposes.


• Gem Apple Bombs: Magolor can produce bombs in the form of gem apples to detonate on his command; the longer he lets the magic sit before activating them, the more powerful the explosion.


• Magolor Cannon: It's a big ol' beam of charged up magical laser light energy. That's all there is to it. It looks pretty cool.


• Magic Sphere/Revolution Orbs: Spheres of Electric-elemental energy that he can shoot out of his hands, that do more damage the more time he has to charge the magic before firing them off.


• Revolution Flame: The above move at maximum charge, where it changes elements to Fire.


• Deadly Needles (and so on): Spikes of dark magical energy that Magolor can summon upwards out of dimensional rips in the ground to spear anyone standing in range. Like the orbs, these are stronger and cover more area the more time he has to charge them.


• Magolor Surge: A Wind-elemental attack that is basically just flying at the enemy like a cannonball cloaked in wind magic. He can also use this to fly more quickly than usual.


• Black Hole/Summon: A targeted/aimable rune circle that can collapse into a small black hole on his command, sucking nearby objects/enemies into a rip presumably leading to Another Dimension. I won't use this casually or in PVP fights because of its nature.


• Ultra Sword: An absolutely fuckass huge sword with a gigantic range that he can summon out of a rune circle and swing for massive damage. However, it's a slow attack that he isn't very skilled at using.


• Magic Barrier: A magical shield that makes him invulnerable to damage while he has it up, but can be broken by attacking it repeatedly.


• Dimensional Vanish: For about five seconds, he can slip through a portal into the "background" of the world, so to speak, and move invisibly and invulnerably through space. He can't clip through things like the ground, though. He can also use this to teleport quickly between locations, though it seems to have a short range.


• Magoloran Launch: Is inexplicable and OP enough that I don't want to have to deal with this lol. He can't do it in RP.
