What Powers Does Violet Lunaris Have In The Books?

Question

After finishing the series, Violet Lunaris's supernatural abilities still confuse me. Were her powers just inherited magical gifts or something darker like latent psychic talents?

Deezory · Answer

While the specific abilities of Violet Lunaris are never fully detailed in the novels, she possesses typical characteristics of a werewolf-Lycan including enhanced strength and even a healing factor. The main aspect of her powers are her empathic connections to her pack and the unique relationship that she shares with them. If you enjoy novels where a Luna’s abilities are deeply intertwined with her relationships and her standing within the pack politics then ‘Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna’ could be of interest to you. The only ‘gift’ that this Luna possesses is a rare ability for clairvoyance and she must use it to battle for recognition and authority within the powerful pack.

The elegant and wild magic of Violet. Teleport short distances by stepping through moonlight. In her training scenes, Violet even manages to sneak a step in and get half of her stuck in a wall. She has also got spirit guardians in the form of a pack of lunar wolves – creatures made of condensed starlight. They are true and she can call on them but they fade away at dawn, leaving her feeling a little forlorn.

I am particularly interested to see how the rest of her untapped abilities are explored, specifically in a certain cryptic vision where Violet is described by an elder in the story to ‘weave destinies’ under a blood moon. Perhaps this will be explored in the sequel though. I really love how her powers are tied to her knowledge of the stars and to the different moon phases. The way that her strength is not just physical is really unique to her power system.

I just wanted to say that I really love Violet Lunaris in the books. As for her powers, she is able to control lunar energy, allowing her to create a protective shield, heal wounds, and phase through objects during a full moon. Her powers are strongest at night under clear skies and often have a silver, otherworldly light about her. Additionally, her powers are extremely tied to her emotions, as she is able to control her abilities much better when she is calm then when she is angry, causing her to loose control of her abilities.

My favorite battle scene that she’s in is when she’s battling a shadow beast and she is using moonlight to create sharp blades of light, she stabs it with them until it dissolves into nothing. She fights it beautifully, her movements likened to a “dance with the night itself.” It’s so cool. Also, unfortunately, during an eclipse her strength will wane quickly leaving her weak. This happens during the darkest of times for Violet as well, making her feel even more effected by her personal struggles with self-doubt.

Reese · Answer

This is Violet Lunaris. Her primary ability is that of Moonveil Siphoning: he absorbs ambient moonlight to replenish himself, to charge his blasts, etc. The description of Violet here is rather beautiful: her hair floats behind her as if she were underwater and her eyes become a mirror like surface as she focuses her abilities. But, as with all things, there is a price to pay for this power, and that price is one of temporary blindness, as the moon takes back its gift.

Notice the peculiar second ability of Violet Lunaris, the abilities of the nocturnal animals being under her control. There are owls bringing her messages and bats scouting ahead for her. This is quite original. But the author also does not shy away from the darker sides of the powers of Violet. For example, she can curse someone with eternal insomnia by reflecting the moonlight at them. In general, the powers of Violet are another layer of her wonderful personality – sometimes nice and gentle, sometimes hard and ruthless.

Ulysses · Answer

This is Violet in all her various creative combat form. Yes, that’s how I think of it. Moonlight can be refracted into blindingly bright beam of light orretained and concentrated so as to burn with no heat whatever. In addition, the said moonlight can be transformed into a flame of magic which quickly disintegrates any dark magic. I love that Violet’s tears are luminous and that they leave behind her a faint trail. I love that Violet is at her strongest when she is alone, but uses her powers to protect others. Fragility vs. strength is a major motif in these books. I love that Violet can shatter her own lunar constructs to make a huge explosive counterattack. It’s all so messy and beautiful and completely unpredictable, just like Violet herself.

One of the most interesting ways her powers could affect her life are described but largely unexplored. We see that she has to wear special glasses in the sunlight because her eyes are too sensitive, and that she prefers to travel at night because her powers are more effective. Also, she is on a high calcium diet, possibly because she is absorbing moonlight. This last point brings up an interesting fan theory. Also, crowded rooms can be unbearable for her because of all the empathic “noise”. All of these details make her seem more real. As opposed to her powers just being a suit she can put on for combat, they are a big part of her biology and way of life. She is like a character from the X-Men comics: her mutation is as much of a problem for her as it is a benefit. The author never lets us forget that.

In fandom, there is a lot of Reset Button Equivalency when it comes to Kwon Nam Woo’s training. But her growth was actually spent on developing the ability to make a simple dagger work stably. The first time she tried using a shield? It broke and concussed her. Her initial grasp of Empathy was a chaotic, painful, filterless crash of every nearby soul’s feelings. All her meditation, her studies with the scholar about light, her grueling mental training to shield her own mind from invasion – all of that effort pays off in her skill with her current tools, and in her upgrade levels. Because she worked so hard to get to where she is, her various power-ups feel like she finally gets to do something she absolutely deserves to.

Counterpoint: To Her Powers: The Her Powers are primarily a narrative crutch. To find a hidden object, the object has history that Violet can sense with her Empathy. To escape a locked room, Violet makes a light-key. To win a battle, she discovers a new power. All of these have arbitrary limitations that the author often forgets when it is convenient to the plot. Such as in Book 4 when Violet is stuck in the lightless caves and suddenly remembers that she can use bio-luminescent fungus as a light source. It was a convenient and fun twist, but it showed that the author uses Her Powers as primarily a dramatic device and that the system is not airtight in the same way that, say, Brandon Sanderson’s magic systems are not primarily a dramatic device.

Tati · Answer

I don't agree with this analysis of Magda's powers being a 'crutch' for the plot. Her powers have clear and consistently upheld limitations. For example, in Book 2, Chapter 7, she is trapped in a dark, damp cellar for the whole chapter and is essentially powerless until a character eventually manages to slip a sunstone through the vents. Her empathic sense does not work when a character is under a psychic shield in Book 3. While there are 'convenient' solutions to problems, these are usually her applying a known power in a new and interesting way rather than her suddenly acquiring a completely new power to get her out of a fix. The system as described is good for storytelling, not poor consistency.

Ivan Martin · Answer

There are a lot of fan theories out there for her potential evolution in the future. Most of them involve her learning to manipulate different parts of the spectrum. For example, she could become invisible by becoming perceived only through the sense of heat (infrared that isn’t seen) or she could see ultraviolet signals that others are unaware of. My favorite theory is that the starlight resonance is simply a precursor to her being able to sense and connect with other celestial bodies. My personal theory is that her unique form of empathy will graduate into full-on telepathy or even limited precognition and she will be able to see ‘shadows of intent’ in people. Alas, the series is complete so these remain purely speculative on my part. The author left enough room for speculation that my mind is happy to run with all of these different scenarios without feeling as though the author left a thread unfinished.
