Firstly, Adels powers did not come directly from Hyne, and receiving your powers as a child doesn't mean you're weaker than someone who get's their powers at an older age.Originally Posted by muzzer
its the amount of power she has, she recieved her powers directly from hyne, unlike edea who recieved her powers as a child, also she has been twisted and demented and stuff because of her emense power, thats why she looks like a dude( my info would probably get a beating by future esthar because he/she seems to know just about everything, which is a god thing, isnt it?)
What is correct here is that it is Adels excessive use of sorcery for evil purposes (ie. black magic) which causes her to become deformed. Like rubah said, Edea got the claw like hands, Ultimecia had the weird wings and so on. Adel was just REALLY bad and very powerful too.
Secondly, I'd be very careful with taking anything Future Esthar says seriously. In fact, I have rarely seen him come up with anything actually in the game which makes sense. Anyway, perhaps I shouldn't be saying this, but since you brought it up...
