 Geokinesis- As a member of the nobility of the dark elven Gon Clan, and as an inheritor of the skills of those who are versed in the ways of the Earth Crystal, Gidarch can manipulate terran matter; this doesn't apply to all of nature, it mainly applies to minerals and metals; though, just as he had petrified himself, he can use pyritization on some organisms, even if success is never guaranteed. He has an especially strong persuasion over magnetism, and can reduce or increase the weight of metals for as long as he focuses on them. The Count can even yank weapons out of people's hands, but this stunt is subject to consent, and on an OOC level, if someone loses a weapon, they'll merely be asked to negate abilities that are dependent on their stolen tools, until said items are reclaimed. With adequate time, he can also mold objects of metal and mineral, but this isn't combat applicable, because of the amount of concentration is needed to exert such intense persuasive power over such elements.
-Flight/Levitation- Gidarch has a suit of silver armor that when worn, can be targeted by his magnetic powers in order to help him move freely through the air.
+Flight/Levitation- Gidarch has a suit of iron armor that when worn, can be targeted by his magnetic powers in order to help him move freely through the air. (He donated his silver armor to Glabados anonymously in exchange for.... a favor)
 Auditory Prowess- Count Valos doesn't need to 'see' using visible light, he can use a (real world) human technique called Flash-Sonar which allows him to hear/feel vibrations that reflect off of objects. He isn't blind, but in poorly illuminated environments, this power will help him navigate without falling into pits and the like. His ability to distinguish the pitch and decibel level of sounds that reverberate off of an object of person can clue him in to the identity of said entity, but as is the case with dark elves' hearing sensitivity, the presence of loud background sound can disrupt Gidarch's ability to detect aspects of his environment accurately- this may be yet another reason he avoids massive warzones, or concerts alike.

-Because of his recent rant whilst inside the interrogation chamber, in which Faruja Senra coerced Valos to speak of his benefactor, the church has taken disciplinary action to disqualify the claims made by the nobleman, and to discredit his views so as to negate the possibility that others might flock to his banner. Designating him as legally insane, the church also made an effort to get him to recall for the scribes, to a moderate extent, an approximation of what he proclaimed to Faruja, so as to assure that it would serve to encourage his alienation, by way of the stigmatism that would be garnered from a decree embodying the caliber of arrogance of the airs put on by Gidarch Valos when reciting his announcement. The church expects public humiliation to be one of the best methods to ostracize misguided souls; Glabados is of the hope that most citizens will perceive him as a madman who thinks others beneath himself(aside from the strange self-destructive attitude he seems to have, which the officials believe will scare off their followers), effectively appalling them, thus dissuading anyone from bothering to even so much as bother investigating his outlook, instead of executing him and creating a martyr out of him- by showing mercy in allowing him to exist within their own domain, even whilst he defies their teachings, it shows how much confidence they have in the ability of their people to stay faithful in being able to distinguish reality from fantasy. Not contesting their label that was attached to him, regarding his credibility, only acted as a greater demonstration to the citizenry that he is indeed witless, for what self-respecting individual would ever consider passively welcoming such a demeaning classification, unless something were simultaneously contradicting that individual's aptitude to perceive the meaning of such a title? Surely.... Something has caused Gidarch to become relieved of his senses, or else he was simply born one of Faram's "special" folks, who can't rightly distinguish truth from make-believe!
 The decrying of humanity at large, that has been ascribed to Valos, that has been published widely, is as follows:

	Greased Lithium- Like any good living suit of armor, with the most proverbial example being the Tin Man, who hails from literature from the world of earth, Valos needs regular maintenance. Technically, he could be called a 'stone drow' because he's composed heavily of mineralized matter; as such, he needs to 'oil' himself. Typical disposable items such as Gold Needles aren't sufficient, since Gidarch is petrified on a permanent basis, and can therefore not be restored to a wholly flesh status, but he does use magical artifacts enchanted by his soulmate, in order to help him retain mobility. Obviously, regents are needed to endow softening properties, so Gidarch either buys them from oddball vendors dealing in unusual wares, or he sends his loyal servant to fetch them. Much to the displeasure of Valos (but helpful on an OOC level for his player to get him more involved), this means that he must interact with others in order to procure the necessary goods to stay in optimal condition.
