Wonder Woman is usually a physical powerhouse; yet this new version fully emphasizes her magical side! And those powers are unlike anything we’ve seen.

This seriously adds another layer to what this already unique character offers! This makes the entire persona shift toward those previously unexplored dimensions!

It's not just magical weapons that makes her more powerful! That iconic bullet-deflecting bracelet trick gets revamped. No simple deflection here. This Wonder Woman unleashes spells and powerful incantations that totally obliterate those oncoming foes and highlights the power she could access! These displays show what many readers have already expected of that greatly improved character. This adds the powerful spells and impressive magical weaponry that expands on many other magical-type heroes, allowing a huge number of potential creative options that were never seen previously!  This could be immense.
