- Immortality. Lurine always looks vaguely somewhere in her mid to late twenties and doesn't age.
- Shapeshifting. She can go from her blonde human form to one where everything below her hips is that of a giant snake-like sea monster. It's never said just how long it is, but the word sea monster should be enough to give a rough estimate. She's so large it's nearly impossible for her to get drunk, since the weight still remains after a fashion in her human form.
- Snake form. In her monstrous form, she's got immense strength in her coils, able to break a grown man all at once or piece by piece just with them. On the other hand, she can also be extremely gentle, curling her coils around someone, and carrying them with her through or above the water without even a bruise.
- Top ranking sea creature. She's at the top of the food chain over naiads, sea nymphs, merpeople, and any other supernatural denizens of the deep. If she says jump, they ask how high.
-Hypnotizing song. Usually used in conjunction with a ritual to greet the sun, she and other mer-creatures have a powerful song. If a human hears this, they long to be with her, no matter what the cost. It's shown in the books that her goddaughter Daisy flat out just starts walking into the icy depths of Lake Michigan in the dead of winter when she gets hypnotized. Lurine restrains her until the spell passes.
- Sex abilities. She's got a paralyzing kiss that can freeze a person completely and makes them feel almost like they've had an entire sexual experience just from that brief contact. She also can sort of...sex someone to death if she wants to. Bedding a lamia is no joke, and combining her sex drive with the above kissing ability, she can easily kill someone (usually intentionally) during sex. Other supernatural creatures seem to be immune to this as she easily has sex with a satyr whose penis is unnaturally long and large in comparison to a human's.
- She also knows a lot of languages, some current, and some dead.
Weaknesses:
- Other supernatural creatures can tell she's one of them. They usually can't tell exactly what she is, but they definitely know she's not human. Conversely, she can do the same, being able to tell someone is a supernatural being without being able to tell the specifics.
- She has to live in a place with a working underworld, a source of power provided by one of the gods or goddesses of old remaining in one area long enough that their magical power seeps into the area. Magical creatures cluster in these areas and create a working underworld. However, it does make where she can potentially live extremely limiting, and she can be weakened if taken out of the area long enough.
- While she can live away from and outside of water, she really doesn't like this. One of the reasons for settling in Pemkowet was always having access to a river, lake, and swimming pool at her fingertips.
