CABIN 20: HECATE

The demigod children of Hecate possess true magical abilities such as spell-casting (as shown by Lou Ellen Blackstone, Alabaster, and Lamia) and they are only demigods who can truly cast magic. Some, if not all, may have the power of necromancy and umbrakinesis.

By speaking in either Latin or Ancient Greek, her children can cast many spells for various effects such as creating fire, generating cold, protecting oneself, and shielding themselves from the tracking abilities of monsters and etc. The amount of different spells is unlimited; ranging from anything small to giant, the only thing holding them back is how strong their magical capabilities are. They can cast incredibly powerful spells, if they're powerful enough and know how to cast them effectively.

They have been shown to be able to levitate objects and using their powers to remove a person's nose (as shown by Lou Ellen Blackstone playing a literal Got-Your-Nose with Miranda Gardiner from Demeter's Cabin). Like their mother, their magic is strongest at night and weak during the day.

Hecate can be a tough parent, and her children must prove their worth and study hard to master their skills in magic, as magic has a way of twisting around the user. So if a child of Hecate isn't careful, their spells can do more harm than good. If a child of Hecate overexerts their magical capabilities too much, it physically takes a toll on their body causing them fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, or faint. It could also cause their magical energy to be drained or depleted, leaving them powerless.

As shown in The Demigod Diaries, children of Hecate can control the Mist, a magical force with which they can cast illusions and a myriad of other things. Using the Mist, they can summon items such as a sword and create apparitions called 'Mistforms'.
