Magical manifestations of the house were conjured for her when needed with these acting as servants who the human guise of staff members. They could be summoned or dispelled at will through basic magic. The mansion itself was massive with some rooms protected by a mystical guardian. It included a library that had books that were centuries old that were written in non-human languages with her family having collected them.
