Honestly , biological manipulation had alot of potential as long as it grew strong enough but currently , Riley was stuck simply affecting natural processes in the body and faintly controlling bodily fluids.
Though that might actually have been due to him trying it on himself, which meant that a real human test subject was needed to be sure.
As for the really cool new abilities , Sunfire generation allowed Riley to passively absorb the heat from the sun into two small organic gems that grew on the underside of his wrists when the ability awakened.
These amber colored smooth gems embedded in his skin would then generate and store yellow gold flames in them for later use.
It actually worked in tandem with Divine infusion which was meant to fully fuse any energy into the deeper cellular or Innate structure of an object or creature.
Riley could even already see how these abilities worked for his father since he could infuse Sunfire into arrows before shooting them , creating his famous flaming arrows of Divine judgement.
The abilities were best tested in combat and not here so Riley decided to use them in his first fight instead of the already relatively mastered powers of the Marine Admiral.
The first batch of Divine abilities was complete so it was on to the second batch of magic powered 'Divine abilities' which was more of passives than actives.
This time he was practicing only the Fire manipulation and generation , shapeshifting , Illusion projection and Celestial Serpent Devourer Physiology which is the upgrade of Serpentine physiology.
The new abilities were Power mimicry and Organic cloning which were both actually very useful.
With the same enthusiasm as before , Riley fully focused on studying these abilities and gaining some proficiency with them.
So far he had light , Golden lightening and yellow Sunfire in his elemental arsenal , now it was time to add magical flames.
The flames of this ability were actually not fueled by Divine power at all and were purely magical. Since they utilized his unique magical energy , Riley shifted to female so that she could have easier control over the Cosmic Ether in her body.
It took only about 40 minutes before Riley had gotten the general gist of it. The better Riley's control over her magical energy , the easier that the flames would be to control and generate and the more magical energy she chanelled into the fire , the more it would grow both in intensity and amount.
With the flames being a magical application , they could wait for when Riley finished reading the introductory books on magic and fully gained control over her still growing and strengthening magical reserves.
Next was an ability that Riley had been really excited for and anticipating for a while. The legendary ability of Shapeshifting.
Now unlike what was usually shown in movies and anime , the ability that Riley had needed her to be relatively knowledgeable about certain the biology of any non Serpentine and human entity.
Humanoid shapes and serpentine shapes were an exception for obvious reasons and Riley only needed a firm mental image of the shape she wanted to take.
Though it was also dependant on magical energy like Pyrokinesis , Shapeshifting differed in that the magical energy caused the change however it wasn't maintained by the magical energy.
Riley had to meditate in silence for about 20 minutes befores she managed to coat ever single part of her body in hazy pale golden and green magical energy then she focused on the mental image of her normal human form before the evolutions.
When the mental picture was firm , Riley willed her body to take that shape while hiding away all her inhuman features.
The transformation happened in real time as the now purposeful Magical energy was fused into her skin and scales then she glowed as scales , claws , antlers and sharp canines to retract.
The tail and it's fur also shrunk and retracted back vanishing like it had never been there. Riley's slit pupils widened into normal pupils and the ethereal glow vanished leaving blue green pupils.
Riley's previously pale white skin gradually shifted to a more normal white then the light faded.
Where previously Riley stood at 1.5 metres with her beautiful and regal scales , tails and horns on display , now a cute 1.2 metre tall blonde child in white shorts stood there.
Riley has shapeshifted with enough accuracy to even adjust her height to a normal 7 year oldest height then also change the general size of her body to look normal as well.
Since she has now done it once , transforming became relatively easy afterwards and Riley shifted between her true form and human form multiple times to improve her speed.
That wasn't the end though as Riley also decided to try other forms.
Following the natural instinct in her mind that told her Serpentine forms were easier and more in tune with her body, Riley started by turning into a plain green snake about 2 metres long and as thick as a grown man's fist.
The feeling was really weird but also kind of cool too. Ontop of that Riley realized that her physical capabilities and abilities were all still accessible and available no matter the form she changed to.
An hour of shapeshifting fun later , Riley was sitted again in her human form while all around her , magical energy slowly pulsated and shifted.
This was the prerequisite for using the illusion projection , Riley had to first project magical energy outward then form a suitable and stable mental image of the illusion she wanted to create.
When she was ready , Riley created a strong tether between the magical energy and her mind then willed her mental image to manifest through the magical energy around her.
The magic energy all around her shifted and soon three more Riley's had appeared surrounding the real Riley.
The illusions weren't perfect though and the other Riley's had dark blue eyes , an inaccurate number of fingers , creepy frozen smiles and darker blonde hair.
The illusion projection would get more refined with practice and further mastery of magical energy manipulation , so that was also shelved for further studying at a later time.
The Celestial Serpent Devourer Physiology made Riley's body snake like in that she was unnaturally flexible and serpentine. But it's strongest trait was probably the power to gain strength , magic and mass by consuming different things which even unlocked new Serpentine abilities based on what Riley ate.
Currently all Riley could do was open her jaw wide like a snake and eat almost anything to get physical stronger , more dense , larger and more powerful.
The strange part however would be the shedding of skin everytime she had a major boost in power or developed a permanent ability from the Devouring physique.
As for the last abilities , power mimicry and Organic cloning , they sort of supported the Celestial Serpent physique and were better used in tandem with it but couldn't even be practiced right now.
Power mimicry allowed Riley to temporarily mimic the abilities of any organic creature whose body she consumes and the strength and time for mimicked abilities depended on the amount of mass consumed and the strength of the creature.
The last one , Organic clones allowed Riley to use organic matter that she consumes to make perfect organic clones of herself.
Amount of strength a clone can weild depends on the strength of the creature whose Organic matter he consumes and the amount of organic matter consumed.
Basing on Divine abilities along , Riley was fairly sure she stood in the top 3 of demigods who inherited alot of Divine powers from their divine parents.
She probably didn't reach the level of monsters like Hercules but in Divine abilities alone , most , if not all other Demigod's were way beneath her which was very satisfying for her Dragon pride.
