Opt In Post
I decided to do a seperate post to do an opt in post for some of the powers Aerith has, magic and cetra wise! Just this way it can be completely clear what Aerith may or may not pick up on a person, completely by accident or purposefully.
It'll be broken down into two sections, just to make things a little more clear. And of course, if there is any confusion, please ask! I'd be happy to clarify.
Magic:
Aerith, being a warden has access to a staff. Within it are seven orbs known as materia. The full list of magic spells that she can use can be found here . Spells that can effect other characters (other than healing and depoisoning) that may concern others that she can perform are the following:
Barriers to physical/magic
Confusion- causes target to attack allies
Barrier removal
Stop- making character unable to move for at least a turn
Forcing sleep
Elemental attacks (ice/fire/earth/gravity/lightning/poison)
She also has instant death magic that she could cast, but she will not cast it without prior planning and permission by the players. There is also a percentage chance that it would not work.
While Aerith does have these abilities, she also has the following abilities due to her Half-cetra status, which is known as:
Cetra
As being a Cetra, she can commune with the planet (and plants). But more importantly, she could do the following:
Sensing unseen things.
This has mostly been implied and seen with her being aware of sensing other's death. She won't know how they've died- just that they're no longer among the living.
Imparting information.
Through physical touch, Aerith can impart information to other people or sentient creatures. It can be a little or a lot of information. This is something that Aerith may struggle to do on command, as it's only been indicated in canon once.
Sharing dreams.
Aerith has been able to share a dream in a setting of her choosing in order to have a conversation. She appeared to have been in control of the setting, and only once she had walked away, did Cloud wake up.
In short, unless you opt in, Aerith will use any cetra abilities, nor will she use magic to cause an altered state (as in forcing sleep, death, etc) without consent of the players involved.

Contact:
Character Name: Reno
Magic:
Are you okay with:
Unable to perform spells for a short duration? Put him in time out!
Confused? Ye. Though I would argue it might have to be cast on him multiple times.
Forced asleep? Absolutely
Magic or physical barrier being knocked down? Jail for Reno.
Other comments on magic? None I can think of, but if there's anything you want to get creative with or are uncertain about, feel free to ask.
Cetra
Are you all right with:
Aerith sensing your character's death? Ye absolutely.
Imparting knowledge to your character via physical contact? Yes! He will and won't be surprised at the same time.
If yes, any limits? Would you like to play it out as an accidental, or purposeful attempt? Both are fine with me! If there's anything you want to plot with, let me know.
Be able to speak to your character in a dream? Yes!
Other
Anything else not covered here? I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but if you ever want to flex or play with her abilities as a Cetra, feel free to ask about it.
