Magical Power

"Power... it draws its source from one's strong will, belief and experience."

- Dreyfus in First Casualty

This page includes a list of all the abilities that have appeared in the series, Nanatsu no Taizai.

Background
Not much is known of these abilities or of its origins, but according to Ruin, all Holy Knights were imbued with magic that transcends human knowledge within their bodies. Dreyfus states the source of their abilities are drawn out from one's strong will, belief and experience.

The Holy Knights of different kingdoms: Liones, Danafor and Camelot, etc., use their magical abilities to protect their people and lands from various threats.

Description
These abilities can be categorized into offensive, defensive and support skills in battle. These grant users various advantages and benefits when engaged in combat, however, there are drawbacks for using them. For example, Full Counter's inability to reflect indirect or normal attacks; Ruin's ability requires a unique staff's bell to make it work; Wall's instability when the user lose control of their emotions.
