Ability Suggestions, as per chat:
First up is the dagger, which I'd call 1 minor:
The Meek - A steel dagger made as a gift for Ria by her father.<ul><li>Blood Aversion - Whenever The Meek comes into contact with blood, it will teleport both itself and its wielder to a safe location within 30’. The wielder can control the destination, but they cannot teleport to a spot that is obviously closer to a source of danger* than another spot. If the blood belonged to the dagger’s own wielder the dagger and wielder are not teleported together – the dagger dumps itself as far away from the wielder as it can while staying within the 30’ area of effect. *The dagger errs on the side of ridiculous paranoia when it comes to ‘sources of danger’.</li>
<li>Sleeping Courage – After teleporting, The Meek will not activate Blood Aversion again for 3 posts. Furthermore, any cuts made by it during this period will be vastly more painful than normal for a few moments.</li></ul>

Hrm, not sure how many minors Silkie should count as. 1.5? Going to get a second opinion on this.
Silkie - Silkie is a Sylph that acts as Ria’s second set of eyes. Silkie has been around Ria’s family before Ria was born. Apparently Silkie was important to Ria’s mother. She seems to sometimes have a very childlike personality and at other’s very serious. She likes to play pranks on guests and generally be playful. She is also very protective over Ria.
<ul> <li> Spirit Hand - Silkie is intangible, but can channel her presence through the air around her to both talk and temporarily interact with creatures and objects in a manner similar to using touch-range Minor Telekinesis (5lb of force). This does not, by itself, count as a spell.</li>
<li> Invisibility – Silkie is invisible while inside the sphere realm. While outside of the sphere, Silkie appears as a barely perceptible shimmer in the air. This becomes more easily seen the farther she is from Ria and/or the sphere to a maximum of being blatantly obvious upon moving 30' away. This is not how Sylph invisibility normally works, suggesting there is something larger at play here...</li>
<li> Air Heritage - Silkie can learn level 1-3 storm spells, but can only cast one per post and no more than two every five posts. </li>
<li> Guardian - Silkie can sense the presence or absence of magical effects on those she's very familiar with. Furthermore, in place of casting a storm spell, she can suppress any one magical effect directly acting on the body/mind of another. This suppression lasts for a post and doesn't work if the target willingly accepted the effect in the first place. </li>
<li> Traveler’s Tounge - Silkie speaks several contemporary languages, having traveled extensively with Ria's parents. </li></ul>

On the bow, I think the below is either 0 or .5 minors:
Rough Bow - A faintly magical wooden bow reinforced with Chitin (modifier 3). To celebrate her choosing to follow his path as a master craftsman, Ria's father helped her (or rather she helped him) create this simple bow. Ria is a pretty good shot.<ul><li>Unpolished - The Rough Bow was specially designed to be improved at a later date as Ria progressed in her training. Specifically, it can once ever absorb a recently created magical bow in order to gain the ability to instantly switch forms between it's current form and that bow's form. It's toughness in both forms becomes whichever form is more durable. Any runes on the bow effect all forms (each form doesn't get its own modifier slots). </li>
</ul>

I still need to work out how that sphere's entrance works, but we can probably get it down to 1 minor. Probably.
