So! Sabriel is a necromancer, as well as something of a magical generalist.
So this means that she can sense and control the undead- she can also raise them, but since she's an Abhorsen, she'd really prefer to use her powers to make them really, really dead. She will eventually get over this, but be prepared to have Sabriel Not Like your character at first, no matter how nice they are, if they're undead.
Sabriel's second thing is her more general magic, called Charter Magic! it can do pretty much all of your standard magical things- healing, offensive applications, wards, bindings, enchanting items-but that's not all- it's passed on by baptism, not birth- so other characters can potentially learn how to use it! Of course, for balances sake, they won't be able to learn more than five spells and must have an open power slot- and must post to the power update request page. Charter Magic can do a lot of things, but it does have limits. (The major ones are No Shapeshifting (Possible in canon, but Sabriel doesn't have access to that knowledge) No Teleporting and No Flight.) Also, it doesn't mix well with technology, so trying to use it to enchant guns or computers will just break them.

Character name Ronan Lynch
Is your character undead/a ghost/some kind of spirit? If so, can Sabriel sense this? Can she try to control them? No, he is a Greywaren. Most psychics and magic-users can sense something weird about him, so Sabriel is free to feel the general what the fuuuuuck aura of him, but he's a living creature.
Is it all right for Sabriel to use magic on your character? Yes.
If your character has magical abilities, is it all right for Sabriel to sense when they're using them? Ronan is partially made from magic, and she could definitely sense when he's dreaming.
If your character has at least one empty power slot and isn't undead, would you be interested in Sabriel teaching them magic? Nah. He's godmode as it is.
