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 form. 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.

Each clone then slashes in way similar to the skill Instant Blade: Mist against the enemy. It has also been translated as Dream Illusion: Mist Single Strike in one occasion.

Spiritural Powers
Raph-chan has the innate ability to see spiritual being such as souls which are typically invisible to most beings. She can also allow one person nearby to also see spiritual entities. Raph-chan lead the other Raph species in a ceremony to transfer the soul of Raphtalia's ancestor to create Raph-chan II. 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.
