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 powers that have appeared in the series, Nanatsu no Taizai.

Description
are mysterious abilities invoked through unknown means. The source of an individual's power is stated to be drawn from one's will, beliefs and experience. The power resides within the body itself even though the catalyst to awaken one's power is unknown, the former being supported by the Holy Knight's belief that their bodies are imbued with "magic that transcends human knowledge." Magical powers can also be gained and utilized from sources of power by research and experimentation.

A power weakens and grows unstable if the user loses control of their emotions, though this may be remedied through training. Magical abilities can be sensed through the exertion of the individuals' auras and those who felt it have different reactions towards such power. They can be measured by Balor's Magical Eye by Power, Strength, and Spirit in numerical values that determines one's overall Power Level. While powers grant users various advantages and benefits when engaged in combat, 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; and Invasion's requirement of a long-range distance.

These abilities can be categorized into offensive, defensive and support skills in battle. The Holy Knights from different kingdoms across Britannia use their magical abilities to protect the people from various threats in their lands.

 * Despite powers being largely unique amongst the characters, there are several cases where individuals related by blood have displayed similar powers. These include:
 * Dreyfus's Break and Griamore's Wall, which have opposing properties but whose strength is dependent on their willpower.
 * Gilthunder's Thunderbolt and Zaratras's Great Thunder, which are lightning-based abilities similar in every aspect but name.
 * Gustaf's Ice Fang and Jericho's unnamed ice power, both of which are abilities revolving around the manipulation of ice.
