2) Can Sabriel use her bells on your characters? She probably won't use them unless the character in question is undead- they are not a tool of first resort for anything else. Ranna, Saraneth, and Kibeth are the three bells Sabriel is most likely to use.
Ranna: The first, and smallest bell, the sleeper. It sends those who hear it into slumber.
Mosrael: The second bell, the waker. It acts as a seesaw, throwing the ringer into death as it brings the listener into life. One of the doors on the way to Abhorsen's House is described as opening to its sound, and in later books it's mentioned that it's used to awaken bound Free Magic spirits. Sabriel's unlikely to use it.
Kibeth: The third bell, the walker. This bell has many sounds, and can both grant freedom of movement to the dead, or remove it. It's described as troublesome, and tries to ring of its own accord, forcing the ringer to walk where she does not wish to.
Dyrim: The fourth bell, the Speaker. It can grant the power of speech, or remove it. In later books, it's mentioned but not shown that it can 'give forgotten words their meaning', so it may have other communication related abilities.
Belgaer: The fifth bell, the thinker. It can restore independent though, memories and "all the patterns of life" to the Dead, but it can erase these as well. In later books, it's used to release someone from a binding. Other necromancers have apparently used it against their foes- driving them to madness, or simply rendering them amnesiacs. Like Kibeth, will try to sound on its own.
Saraneth: The sixth, and deepest of all bells- the binder. It binds the target to the ringer's will.
Astarael: The seventh, and final bell. Called Weeper, the Banisher, when rung, Astarael casts all who hear it deep into Death, including the ringer- and so it's only used as a last resort, when the ringer has no other options. This bell will never be used without prior consultation with the mods.
