The only limitation of this appears to be that the weapons created with it do not have any other special abilities.
Magic[]
- Magia Erebea (闇の魔法「マギア・エレベア」, Magia Erebea; lit. "Dark Magic"): A form of created by Evangeline A.K. McDowell, which Rakan seemingly learned using scroll containing a piece of her soul that he won from her in a bet. This ability allows Rakan to absorb spells and take on their attributes. However, Rakan is unable to properly use it due to it being a dark magic and he himself being aligned with light.

Ki Manipulation: Rakan could manipulate his Ki to reinforce his muscles to be harder than steel.
- Some Kind Of Giant Arm Made Of Chi Energy (気で作ったなんか巨大な腕, Ki de Tsukutta nanka Kyodai na Ude): A self-named technique that condenses Rakan's Chi into a solid construct in the shape of an enormous right arm.
