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(s) name Manolo Sanchez
Is your character undead/a ghost/some kind of spirit? If so, can Sabriel sense this? Can she try to control them? The nature of Manolo's powers means he's basically able to shift between being dead and alive at will. So, he probably wouldn't come across as a ghost, exactly, but Sabriel is free to sense that something is a bit "off" about him. (Maybe he somehow comes across as being both and neither at the same time? I'm open to discussing this, though!)
Is it all right for Sabriel to use magic on your character? Sure!
If your character has magical abilities, is it all right for Sabriel to sense when they're using them? Yes!
