Explanation of powers:
Soulsending - all valkyries can send the souls of the dead (or undead) at WIL.
Death vision - all valkyries can see on a scale of life-to-death. This basically allows them to see how strong the qi is in a living thing.
Summon astral horse - all valkyries can summon an astral horse at WIL.
Astral gating - the "astral" planes (see page for more info) are the Seams, the Interstice, the Hall of Worlds, and the Gates of Mortality and Divinity. Every valkyrie can will a passage to these with WIL, but to varying degrees for each plane. Very powerful valkyries can open gates to the City Hereafter, the Fields of Damask, and Throttignaetha, but Saga is not yet that strong.
Killing blow - what would normally be a called shot to kill requires no penalty for a valkyrie, because they instinctually know how to kill.
Aetherial shell - once a year, Saga can WIL a shell of aetherial energy around herself, a power she inherited from her father, the dragon Valkornikren.
Faith - all valkyries in good standing have faith in the Gatekeeper, Death Herself. See Sphere Charts, Valkyr magic, for more information.

Whispering - No Score; this is an uncontrollable power

Questions (+1 Read People [ROG] per question answered per person) - a game of Questions is a back-and-forth game in which two (or more) people ask and answer each others' questions and the arcanist gains insights into those in the game with them. The bonus only applies to the answerer of the question.
