Respect Sebastian Faust!

Overlooked DC magician. Son of Felix Faust, he's fairly powerful in his own right.

He spends a lot of his time getting out of his father's dark shadow, and being a hero. However, his morals are more than questionable, as when he was a small child, his father sold Sebastian's soul for powers... which Sebastian ended up getting. Consequently, he has no soul, little sympathy, awesome powers, and some funky eyes.

Practitioner of black magic, he's capable of powerful things, but these often come with a price.

Soul Magic (cont)

-Uses Zatanna's semantic magic and says he could tap her Soul and use it better if a Demon hadn't already sucked half of her Soul out (earlier that arc).

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8587/semanticmagicig2.th.jpg

-Helps Looker rejoin some psyches with their bodies.

-Restarts the Fires of Hell, so that the demons are kept there. He must sacrifice his own soul, and the life of Enchantress... considering he just got his soul back, and sacrifices it willingly without prod, IMO this is a very good character strength feat.

Taps into the karma/souls/good juju of the Justice League and uses the resulting powerful beam to wipe out some demons and shit.

This sort of references when he sees Wonder Woman's soul/aura, and it glows bright do to the purity and such. See the scan, a post or two above.
