* '''Weather Control:''' Magic has always run strong in Fahrenheit's family. It has manifested itself differently in different people over the generations: illusionists, druids, thaumaturgists, alchemists and even one or two necromancers. Fahrenheit's ability to control the weather is one of the rarer magical abilities in the family (the last weather controller was around the time of the French Revolution), but the wisdom collected by his family over generations along with strict training, studies and practice since the day he first showed any sign of magical ability have allowed Fahrenheit to master his powers to an impressive degree. Fahrenheit has complete control over all weather phenomena in a given area. The smaller the area he tries to control, the more potent the effect is. While he could theoretically extend his control over around two or three counties, all he would be able to do is cause a stiff breeze or a small shower. However when he focuses his magic on an area of about one or two city blocks he can create thunderstorms and shrouds of fog, summon and shape storm winds and lightning and call down hailstorms and cloudbursts. He can also use wind to shield himself and his allies from many attacks and fly. One notable aspect of his powers is the fact that he always carries an umbrella with him (a gift from his father), which acts as a focus for his magic. While he is able to weave his magic without it, he has a much harder time to do so and the effects of his spells are greatly weakened. | * '''Weather Control:''' Magic has always run strong in Fahrenheit's family.

− | * '''Knowledge:''' A visit to the von Schneider family library is a dream come true for every scholar, sorcerer or not. Spanning an entire wing of the von Schneider castle near Nuremberg, it contains a vast range of literature about nearly every imaginable subject, from history to science and - of course - magic. Collected by the von Schneider family over generations, this library is currently maintained by Karl Helmschmied, a former colleague of Fahrenheit's father, friend of the family and Fahrenheit's private tutor in all things non-magical, who is desperately trying to modernize all the accumulated knowledge in digital form. Apart from magical education, Fahrenheit's father insisted that he would also learn about as many other subjects as possible to make a well-rounded and well-educated superhero out of him. Most of Fahrenheit's childhood was spent in this library with reading and private lessons by Karl. Today, Fahrenheit is knowledgable on a wide range of subjects. | + | * '''Magical Knowledge:''' In addition to his weather control, Fahrenheit is also adept at many other types of magic, if not to the same extent as with his innate talents. Common and minor spells and cantrips are no problem at all for him to detect, identify, cast and defend against and his theoretical knowledge of many different types of magic is even greater, rivaling that of much more experienced sorcerers. |

+ | * '''Von Schneider Influence:''' Despite the fact that today the nobility has lost much of its former influence, the name von Schneider still carries some weight, both in the mystical community and outside. Through his family, Fahrenheit can call on favors from several useful organizations, including the Trismegistus Council, the German government or UNTIL and the name von Schneider has already opened several otherwise closed doors for him. And while his family is certainly not as rich as it once was, money has never been a problem for Fahrenheit and will probably never be. | ||
