Maci is pyrokinetic and has the ability to create and manipulate fire, as well as (to a lesser degree) smoke. She is fully flame-proof and heat-proof and is able to completely burst into flame on command, or uncontrollably when triggered by strong emotion such as anger or fear. When “flaring up,” Maci’s eyes turn fully yellow, her skintone changes to orange, and her hair is overtaken by orange flame. |

Most deities have powers or traits that are specific to the realm of influence they preside over. Maci is the Goddess of the Elysian Fields, or Elysium - the subsection of the Underworld that is bubbled off within a literal barrier of protection to serve as "heaven" in the Land of the Dead. But Maci's job as goddess of this place is minimal, as Elysium belongs to her mostly in appearance only, and is self-sustaining, requiring no upkeep or effort on her end (she insists, refusing to look into doing any degree of work ever). Maci's powers have nothing to do with the functioning of the realm itself. It's actually possible that she may possess an innate ability to control the magical barrier surrounding the land, but due to lack of interest, she's never looked into this, or any other way her powers could connect to her actual realm. The most realm-specific power Maci has is that the sunsets in Elysium are often pink, yellow, and purple - and that just may be a coincidence. |

Why the flames, then? Hades, her father, has powers which are based in smoke, and as his offspring, this perhaps was the natural progression. Moreso however, at the time of Maci's birth, there also was no deity presiding over Tartartus, the pits of “hell” and hellfire of the Land of the Dead. This connection thusly appeared in Maci, as the child of the two rulers of the kingdom itself. |
