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.

guess i should fill this out OOPS
Character(s) name Lup
Is your character undead/a ghost/some kind of spirit? If so, can Sabriel sense this? Can she try to control them? Lup is super dead and I'm absolutely okay with Sabriel sensing this ofc. She used to be a lich, but recently got a big, ol' upgrade to being a servant of the goddess of death as one of her bounty hunters, so she's more like a grim reaper type, complete with scythe for ferrying souls. If Sabriel has a true sight kind of sense, Lup would appear to look like a skeleton in a heavy cloak. Her husband is also a necromancer, so he's definitely rubbed off on Lup a lot of dark magic of his own.
Is it all right for Sabriel to use magic on your character? Absolutely!
If your character has magical abilities, is it all right for Sabriel to sense when they're using them? For sure! Lup's also a D&D Evocation Wizard, so she has hella magic.
If your character has at least one empty power slot and isn't undead, would you be interested in Sabriel teaching them magic? n/a
Is your character a robot/cyborg/technopath prone to carrying around technology? n/a
If so, is it okay for Sabriel's magic to temporarily mess them/their stuff up? n/a
