Abilities

Lapis is a Ghost Master; a powerful spirit medium who has the unique capability to make spiritual energy links with spirits, so long as the spirit is not stronger than her. The 'contract' increases the power of the spirit, and also increases her own spiritual power. Lapis can also adjust how much energy the spirit gains, and can drain them of power if she so wishes to. However, this works both ways, and Lapis can be drained of power as well. When these 'contracts' are made, the spirits can either stay with her in the land of the living, or go rest in the spirit world until she needs to summon them. At this moment in time, Lapis has around twenty spirits resting in the spirit world, and two actively summoned with her, Mitchell and Peter.

Since there's no ghosts or anything like that in Overjoy, her powers will be translated as follows;

Skills
👻 Singing and Dancing ; Lapis is greatly skilled in singing and dancing, and used these skills as ways to conduct rituals, and they also made her greatly agile and with more stamina than one would expect. In Overjoy, it's primarily an interest she developed and harnessed since she was a child, since she had been left alone often and used her AI to research the subject.

👻 Advanced Knowledge of Human Anatomy ; As a result of hanging around ghosts constantly and learning about ways in which they died, Lapis gained a lot of knowledge relating to human anatomy. In Overjoy, it would again be a result of an interest she developed due to being alone often and using her AI to research.

Passive
👻 Superhuman Speed/Teleportation ; The excess spiritual energy Lapis possessed manifested itself as being able to move at superhuman speeds, to the point of being able to basically teleport. Instead, she will possess something similar in the form of a device that can produce an invisibility cloak, that possesses light-bending technology and completely conceals Lapis presence – such as heat signature and any items connected to her – for about one minute. However, it will de-active if something or someone knocks into her while it's active. It will then require a five minute cool down until it can be used again, and it takes the form of a plain white bracelet on her right wrist.

👻 Sensing ; As a powerful spirit medium, Lapis is able to sense ghosts/other supernatural beings. In Overjoy, this will instead be her AI 'ghosts' being able to sense electronic devices nearby, the kind of device it is, other AI's, and if someone is modded/what kind of mods they have. Player permission will be asked for this, though.

Minor
👻 Seeing ; Lapis is able to allow other people to 'see' ghosts as she does, even if they don't have the ability to. It requires physical contact, and tends to be rather painful for the person being allowed to 'see'. Though this power will be nerfed in Overjoy, since it would probably be rather impossible to get a normal person to see AI.

👻 Barrier ; Mediums like Lapis are able to conjure barriers, to protect them against attacks. This will instead be in the form of a device that can produce a particle barrier that's short-burst, only able to defend for one second before needing to recharge for ten seconds. It can only defend in the direction that Lapis is facing, so she will still be vulnerable from the sides and from behind. It takes the form of a plain white bracelet on her left wrist.

Major
👻 Connection to Ghosts ; The main part of Lapis' powers is how she's able to make connections with ghosts, and is able to ask them for aid with anything. In Overjoy, her ghosts will instead be AI that she constructs within her mind, as a result of a neural technology experiment conducted on her before she was born. These programs are unable to be seen by anyone else, and are able to interact with technology, letting Lapis overhear conversations or find information on devices, and even possess/manipulate technology. Lapis is only able to create and send out a maximum of three AI at a time, however this is a huge drain on her energy, so she tends to stick to only sending out one.

👻 Banishment ; The other main part of Lapis' powers is the ability to banish and fight back against spirits, so long as she and her own spirits are stronger than those they're fighting against. This will present itself as being able to overtake and possibly delete AI that are in electronic devices, though any systems that contain more than one AI will be impossible for Lapis to take over/delete, and attempting to do this will be a massive strain on Lapis.
