Rules of the Les Misérables magic system (as far as I can figure out):
As long as there is still suffering to be had, Jean Valjean cannot die
Jean Valjean has super strength which cannot be depleted by age or his poor ability to look after himself (up to a point)
Once a person has met Cosette, lack of proximity to her will slowly drain their life force
The dead benevolently haunt those they loved while alive (ily ghost!Fantine)
Javert has an incredible ability to recognise potential criminals (read people from lower social classes)
Eponine has the ability to blend into the background but cannot turn this power off
The only one immune to this power is Javert which isn’t very helpful
