Raph-chan/Powers & Abilities

Raph-chan shares Raphtalia's affinity for light, shadow, and illusion magic. As such, she also shares Raphtalia's resistance to illusions. In addition, Raph-chan has spiritual powers. While Raph-chan is extremely proficient in magic, she also seems to be lacking in physical abilities. Raph-chan also cannot speak human words but other monsters like filolials can translate for her.

Shikigami/Familiar
Unlike most creatures, shikigamis don't have levels. Instead, they have a list of stats which can be adjusted by using various objects and materials. These stats go incredibly in-depth and can control individuals values such as the stiffness, softness, fluffiness, sleekness, and length of her fur. Naofumi later increases Raph-chan's mutation factor which gives her the ability to level up and later gain more abilities. Raph-chan is able to innately know which direction Raphtalia and Naofumi are, regardless of distance. As a shikigami, Raph-chan is able to transform into an ofuda. After further mutation, Raph-chan was able to transform into a enlarged version of itself at will. Raph-chan is able to send a distress signal to either Naofumi or Raphtalia. Raphtalia and Raph-chan slowly develop the ability to communicate concepts between each other. This skill allows Naofumi to summon Raph-chan. This skill is flexible as Raph-chan can bring other shikigami or members of the Raph race along with this skill. This skill was developed from mutation. Later, Raph-chan mutated the ability to use this skill herself to summon other members of the Raph race. Allows Raph-chan to endow those taking the class-up ritual with a unique Raph-chan upgrade path. This turns monsters into a member of the Raph species and gives others the abilities of the Raph species. Allows Raph-chan to interfere with the Scroll of Return and Return Dragon Vein movement skills through the dragon hourglass to prevent teleportation to the hourglass Raph-chan is using. As a shikigami, Raph-chan is immune to curses.

Spiritural Powers

Raph-chan also assisted with the revival of Filolia through the extraction of Filolia's soul that is within the fragment of the Guardian Beast, Suzaku.
