* Elemental magic. Russell's primary magical abilities are in combat elementalism. He is most adept at using air and electric manipulation in combat, with reasonable competence in fire manipulation. Ice magic is where he is weakest, but he is working to improve his facility with it. He has several foci, with the Dresden Codex page recovered from a time-displaced Mayan cult being his favorite. | * Elemental magic. Russell's primary magical abilities are in combat elementalism.

− | * Pistols. While he is proficient with all types of firearms, handguns are his forte, and his marksmanship with them is extraordinary. This is not entirely surprising, as during his time with the TPS, he was a competitive shooter, and consistently placed as a finalist in departmental contests. Much of his effectiveness with handguns is derived from an active use of his intuition when shooting: a "sixth sense" for placing his shots where they'll do the most damage. Perhaps his favorite "trick" with firearms is to combine them with elemental magic, using air manipulation to increase a round's accuracy and stopping power, or enhancing its effects with elemental aspects. He has a special fondness for handguns in .45 ACP, and has amassed a rather sizable collection of them. His standard weapons are a pair of highly-modified SIG-Sauer P220 .45s with customized grips (modified to channel anima for both ammunition and damage enhancement, but also to act as elemental foci) called "Lilly" and "Belle," a “Thumper” shotgun of Red Hand manufacture, and a modified AK-74 "Black Eagle" of similar provenance to the Thumper. | + | * Pistols.
