Cecaelia have superior reflexes which allow them to react to spells and interactive elements quicker than most people; they can also react to falling objects quickly before they hit the ground or do something else dangerous. Cecaelia are able to be physically active for much longer periods than others – making it easier for them to survive at the bottom of the ocean where there is scarce light. They also see “perfectly” in an environment that usually has no light sources at all: the sea’s deep waters. Cecaelia are fast swimmers thanks to their adaptation to ocean water, capable of moving freely without any resistance from currents while they glide through water effortlessly. The waves aren’t a problem for cecaelia either: since they’re adapted to life underwater, they are fully resistant.
