Hecate's Cabin

Hecate's Cabin (#20) is a cabin for the demigod children of the goddess Hecate. It was built in The Last Olympian.

Description
It is a cabin built of stones engraved with magical writing. It is said that if one of the stones falls or is dropped, it explodes or causes everyone within half a mile to turn into a tree. Inside, there are four main sitting rooms with two built-in cushioned benches that double as beds, in each, and storage space underneath for their clothes, armor, and weapons. There is also built-in, programmable furniture that can be collapsed, moved, and reshaped; with the snap of their fingers, the living area can be turned into a bedroom, gym, dining room, or military command center. There is a dozen preprogrammed interior-decorating schemes. There are also state of the art private bathrooms with large showers. A narrow staircase leans against the back wall that leads up to the lofts with two more twin beds and extra built-in storage underneath the stairs. The loft can also be used as a meeting area, game room, whatever the campers want. The cabin is four modules back-to-back, two on each side, and has four entrances. The cabin also has a slanted roof and high ceilings.

Favorites
It is most likely that Circe, Medea, Pasiphaë, and Calypso are the favorites of the Hecate cabin as they are some of the most gifted and talented sorceresses in history.

Powers
The demigod children of Hecate possess true magical abilities such as spell-casting (as shown by Lou Ellen, Alabaster, and Lamia) and they are only demigods who can truly cast magic. As shown in The Demigod Diaries, children of Hecate can control the Mist, a magical force with which they can cast illusions and a myriad of other things. Using the Mist, they can summon items such as a sword and create apparitions called 'Mistforms'.

By speaking in either Latin or Ancient Greek, her children can cast many spells for various effects such as creating fire, generating cold, protecting oneself, and shielding themselves from the tracking abilities of monsters. The amount of different spells is unlimited; ranging from anything small to giant, the only thing holding them back is how strong their magical capabilities are. They can cast incredibly powerful spells, if they're powerful enough and know how to cast them effectively.

They have been shown to be able to levitate objects and using their powers to remove a person's nose (as shown by Lou Ellen playing Got-Your-Nose with Miranda Gardiner from Demeter's Cabin). Like their mother, their magic is strongest at night and weak during the day.

Hecate can be a tough parent, and her children must prove their worth and study hard to master their skills in magic, as magic has a way of twisting around the user. So if a child of Hecate isn't careful, their spells can do more harm than good. If a child of Hecate exerts their magical capabilities too much, it physically takes a toll on their body causing them fatigue, dizzy, or faint.

Trivia

 * Alabaster C. Torrington is a child of Hecate, but he made a promise not to enter Camp Half-Blood so he does not corrupt his half-siblings.
