[73] She and the other Guardians are more powerful than when they were empowered by the Heart of Kandrakar which is superior to all magic in every aspect [21] which would include Santa's Sleigh which travels beyond space and time and made it as if they traveled back in time as if there adventure to the north pole never happened) [74] | Immesurable (Far more powerful than she was before due to being united with the other Guardians on a far greater level than ever before) [60]

Key: Arc 1 - 3 | Arc 4 - 6 | Arc 7 - 11 | Magical Sovereign
While Taranee's uniform is more fit for mobility, Hay Lin's seems to put emphasis on grace and freedom. However, it is also the most revealing. It consists of a small, teal cropped top whose sleeves curl around her shoulders, and a knee-length skirt that splits at the sides, revealing most of her legs. A beaded cord is tied around the waistband, similar to how she wears skirts in her civilian clothes. She sports purple Mary Janes, as well, and unlike the other Guardians, who wear leggings, she wears turquoise and green socks. In the New Power Arc, her uniform seems to be loosely based on a cheongsam. Her top appears to be the upper half of a cheongsam mixed with a halter top. Her skirt has grown long and wispy, and the beaded cords are gone. Instead, they are replaced with matching purple bands that hug her rib area. She also has more bands around her arms, except these are teal colored, and she has black fingerless gloves. Her hair has grown longer and parts of it are styled into traditional Chinese buns.
This power allows her to create and control wind, fly, and even summon hurricanes when needed. She is also able to create shields and barriers using her air element, which can provide protection for herself and her allies. Hay Lin's magic is fueled by her emotions, particularly her sense of joy and enthusiasm. When she embraces her powers with positivity and excitement, her abilities become stronger and more potent. On the other hand, if she feels angry or scared, her powers may become harder to control and may cause unintentional damage. In addition to her elemental powers, Hay Lin is also skilled in other forms of magic. She has a talent for astral projection, allowing her to project her consciousness outside of her physical body and travel to different locations. This ability is particularly useful for reconnaissance and gathering information. Hay Lin's magical abilities are further enhanced by her natural creativity and artistic talent. She is an aspiring comic book artist and often uses her artistic skills in conjunction with her magic. For example, she can create animated drawings that come to life or use her art to trap enemies. Overall, Hay Lin is a formidable magic user with the power to control the element of air. Her abilities, fueled by her positive emotions and artistic talent, make her a valuable asset to the Guardians of the Veil and a force to be reckoned with in the fight against evil..
