Charmcaster

Background

Spellbinder was an immensely powerful master magician but unfortunately he was sacrificed himself to allow his brother and his daughter to escape from Ledgerdomain. His daughter, Hope, had no other alternative other than live with her uncle, Hex. Now this wouldn't be so bad if Hex wasn't a crazed lunatic obsessed with gaining power. As a result Hope became corrupted by her uncle and was soon given a new name: Charmcaster.

Powers and Abilities

Charmcaster made her debut in Tough Luck to break her uncle out of prison. She was shown to be highly manipulative as she easily tricked Gwen into letting her guard down so that she could steal the Keystone of Bezel. She then tried to betray Hex but that didn't go so well. 

In A Change of Face Charmcaster showed that she had enough magical power to destroy a building (or at least encase it in fire).

Of  course she didn't just start a building fire for the fun of it. Charmcaster used this to lure Ben into a trap. While Ben was distracted Charmcaster used a body switching spell (so she could gain control of the Omnitrix obviously) and while it was easily able to catch Stinkfly, the spell takes time to complete. The spell took 27 seconds to complete and by that time Gwen had inadvertently replaced Ben's body with her own.

After switching into Gwen's body, Charmcaster showed that she was capable of flight but whether this is her own magic or Gwen's is anyone's to guess.

Charmcaster is a cunning actress as she was able to trick both Ben and Max into thinking she was Gwen. 

When her ingredients for a spell were stolen Charmcaster displayed the ability to start up technology displaying a degree of limited technokiniesis.

Charmcaster is also able to send out chains of magic to trap her opponents.

Charmcaster also has the ability to send out streams of magic.

In Ben 10 vs the Negative 10: Part 1 Charmcaster displays the ability to fly on her own as well as summon red blasts of magical energy.

5 years later in In Crarm's Way its obvious that Charmcaster's power has grown. She was able to create a rock monster that gave Ben, Gwen and Kevin a run for their money, able to repel mana projectiles away with a single backslap. She also showed that she was perfectly capable of creating magical vortexes to return her rock monster.

Hope can also create dimensional rifts to spy on people from afar.

She can also shapeshift using mana in a matter of seconds.

She also displayed some form of telekinesis when she saved a kid from being run over by a truck.

She can also control minds as shown when she did so with Kevin by kissing him.

Charmcaster was able to completely match Gwen in terms of magical power.

However Charmcaster showed that she was still the more experienced magician as she was able to trap Gwen and completely negate Gwen's mana. Charmcaster used this trap to completely rob Gwen of her mana.

In Where the Magic Happens Charmcaster was actually able to cut Adwaita with magic. On paper it doesn't sound that impressive until you take into account that Adwaita had the Alpha Rune, giving him full control over all magic. Furthermore Adwaita is a Geochelone Aerio which are completely immune to magic.

In Enemy of My Frenemy Charmcaster has become so powerful that she can literally rip the life force out of her opponents such as Adwaitia. Her best feat by far is commiting genocide and stealing the life force of every single person in Ledgerdomain. The total number of souls she obtained was estimated at 600,000 which she then tried to bargain to bring her dead dad back from the grave. Among the souls that were taken were Ben, Gwen and Kevin making Charmcaster one of two characters to successfully kill Ben 10 and the only one to kill his entire team. Naturally Spellbinder decided that was probably evil and decided to trade his own life force to return those that were taken prematurely.

In Charmed, I'm Sure Charmcaster was able to generate lightning blasts from her hands. Later in the episode Charmcaster was able to completely eradicate some mutant pumpkins with magical fire. Charmcaster was also able to summon her rock monsters and use them to create a makeshift rock armor for herself which enhances her magical abilities. However this armor isn't very durable and can easily be destroyed.

In Charm School Charmcaster was able to manipulate mana so that she could suffocate her uncle Hex and bind him. Remember Hex is a "master magician". Unfortunately she underestimated him and Hex quickly got out if the binds before using his telekinesis to attack her. Hex retrieved his Staff of Ages, the most powerful focusing object among the 9 realms but Charmcaster threw a temper tantrum and repelled his magic blasts before teleporting away.

Charmcaster returned to Ledgerdomain so that she could get more powerful and then fought Hex a second time. She won by transmuting him into a statue. Later in the episode she fought Lucky Girl and was easily able to gain the upper hand in terms of magical power. Gwen was able to hold Charmcaster off with protection and illusion spells but they did little more than to piss her off.

Charmcaster then fought Ghostfreak but because Ghostfreak was still tangible it was an easy fight for Charmcaster.

In Third Time's a Charm Charmcaster lured Gwen into a trap and turned her into a totem. Later in the episode she was able to effortlessly defeat Shocksquatch, Kevin and Rook with her magic and was able to nullify their attacks completely before teleporting them outside the campus.

Later in the episode Charmcaster gained control over the father of magic; Bezel and turned him into a totem, making Charmcaster the most powerful sorceress there is. After summoning her rock monsters and creating a force field to protect her from missiles, Charmcaster turned herself into a dragon. After turning into a dragon Charmcaster was durable enough to withstand multiple missiles. Charmcaster likely would've won had Ben not tricked her into springing a trap Gwen had set.

Weaknesses

Charmcaster is susceptible to having her magic stolen away from her.

Charmcaster is also extremely cocky and has been teleported away from the battlefield by the likes of Zs'skayr and Rook who had no idea what he was doing.

Spells

Transfera Identica

This spell allows the user to change bodies with someone. It traps the user in a bubble of energy with no way out from the inside. 

Weaknesses

The only downside is it takes really long to complete (27 seconds). This may be a result of her first time using the spell as when she used it later, it only took her 11 seconds to complete. While the the person within the bubble can't get out on their own, external forces (such as another body) can cause the user to be trapped in an unwanted body. Also once the spell has started it cannot be stopped until it is complete. Also while the user can use it to steal people's identities, it only works if she has the knowledge to do so. This is why Ben and Max got suspicious of her as she not only acted more aggressive but also lacked basic knowledge of the Omnitrix that the real Gwen had. Another downside is that if more than two people are involved in the spell, the minds will be switched randomly.

Latnica Sorensay

This spell allows the user to resurrect dead animals and the user has full control of what they do such as when Charmcaster used this spell to resurrect dead octopi and make them attack the store owner. 

Bellum Ocurro Mazzura

This spell causes silverware to attack the opponent (Its magic. It doesn't have to make sense).

Unsquiera Despariot

Releases a shockwave of magic from the user's body.

Declam Baccura Saduka

This spell allowed Charmcaster to load cannonballs into cannons and fire them. OK its a bit more complex than that but it allows the user to telekinetically move objects while Saduka seems to cause an explosive reaction as she used to fire the cannons.

 Vortess Nebulae

This spell casts a protective barrier to shield the user from damaging attacks such as lasers. Though Charmcaster isn't seen using it, the spell did come from her spell book and according to her this is one of the most simple spells in the book.

Stingu Invisibus

This spell allows the user to have some form of telekinesis. Charmcaster used it to lift up large rocks and throw them at the Rust Bucket. Also Charmcaster didn't say the incantation for this spell indicating that she is so well practiced at magic that she only needs to think the incantation.

Mercuta Verditis

This spell allows the user to fire a powerful energy beam from their hands.

Weaknesses

The spell can be redirected by someone who is using a similar energy beam.

Ocktoon

This spell allows the user to bring inanimate objects to life such as a car.

Ocktoon Eradiko

A varient of Ocktoon. This spell is more advanced than Ocktoon as it gives the inanimate object some form of sentience. When Charmcaster used this on Mr. Smoothy not only did it give him emotions but it also gave him smoothy inside of him which Upchuck drank.

Tempestus

This spell allows the user to summon and manipulate a large amount of water.

Weaknesses

While Charmcaster is able to summon water its still water. If exposed to high enough temperatures, such as Swampfire's flamethrowers, it will evaporate into steam.

Vitalus Eruptum

This spell allows the user some form of chrlorokinesis which in this case allowed Charmcaster to cause seeds to grow at an extremely fast rate and have full control over them.

Reptilicus

This spell allows the user to turn an object into a snake in which they control.

Meus Manus Manus

This spell summons nearby objects to the user. In this case it was the Staff of Ages.

Valeris Mihi Occultus Valeris Meus Amicitia Occultus

This spell is a concealment spell. It creates a dome of mana which shields the user (and anyone within the dome) from outside sight. 

Weaknesses

While it shields the user from sight, enemies can still track them using their other senses as shown when she had to shut Ben up to get the Scrutin to go somewhere else.

According to Gwen, the spell cannot be used if the user is moving.

Ab-Ri Du-An Pad Libir Diger Kun Gukin

This spell allows the user to summon an extremely powerful being known as Diagon or the Old One.

Weaknesses

As Diagon is sentient and WAY more powerful than her, Charmcaster can only bargain with Diagon rather than control him. 

It also requires a lot of mana as Charmcaster needs the Alpha Rune to cast the spell.

Exige Animas Omnibus

Potentially Charmcaster's most dangerous spell. This spell allows her to steal the souls of all living things in her dimension and send them to the Sorcerer's Engine where she tried to bargain with Diagon.

Equipment

Along with her spell book Charmcaster has a few other tricks up her sleeve.

Bag

Charmcaster's bag seems to be have a mind of its own as it was easily able to find her after she and it got separated.

It holds various items such as magical bombs which she used to easily break through some steel bars.

It also contains some pet rock monsters effectively giving Charmcaster the advantage in numbers.
