Roh's closest thing to magical powers is proper Dragoon training. Got a Big ol back story on this one.
He got his training from a Ex-Dragoon, who valued her country so much she abandoned it to fight in the end of 1.0. (I can't even spell the place's name I won't even try.) Obviously one does not simply go AWOL in Ishgard and was branded a heretic for her actions. She has long since been given sanctuary in the Shroud for her efforts and spends her days training Adders in lancing techniques.Â
Having found Roh on deaths door, she took him in and trained him, feeling every being has a right to defend their honor and sensing his desire to end his weakness. She spent the next few years training him into the "Free" Dragoon he is and told him many stories of Ishgardian honor. Even now Roh sees this woman as his second mother and she is the source of his Knightly values.
