  • Magic & Durability Negation (Magic completely bypasses physical defenses such as armor, or thick hides)
  • Elemental Manipulation (Of the Fire, Wind, and Lightning variety)

  • Biological Manipulation (Tharja can specifically curse one's eyes to make her targets cry uncontrollably)
  • Empathic Manipulation (Tharja can boost the stamina and mood of a target, albeit with preparation, additionally having performed this by accident. However, she appears to be capable of affecting someone's mood on purpose.)
  • Paralysis Inducement & Body Puppetry (Capable of paralyzing and controlling an opponent target)
  • Fragrance Manipulation & Unconventional Sleep Manipulation (Considered using a stink curse on Robin that would have covered them in a smell so terrible, it would have caused those around them to vomit and pass out)

  • Non-Physical Interaction
  • Accelerated Development (Leveling, Passive, Other [Taking Damage & Teaching] - Physical Stats, Abilities, Other [Dodging Attacks & Intelligence]; Tharja's attributes and skills improve at substantial rate for every battle she takes part in. Her power will increase the more she takes damage. Has mentioned she can feel her own darkness "growing ever stronger". Tharja's chances of dodging attacks gradually increase over time. Mentoring Ricken within a short timeframe aided in focusing Tharja's thinking and advancing her knowledge in the dark arts)

  • Transmutation (Has the ability to turn her targets into toads and newts)

  • Clairvoyance & Precognition (Through Divination, Tharja can look into the future to see the results of upcoming battles using a crystal orb)
  • Probability Manipulation (Casting certain hexes has allowed Tharja to accurately and desirably increase the chances of having Robin approach her)
  • Memory Manipulation (Capable of erasing memories, but she has to be knowledgeable of them first)
  • Biological Manipulation (Capable of turning people's entire bodies inside out. Threatened to turn Henry's tongue into knots. Implied to have made Robin appear more physically attractive with a hex)
  • Necromancy (With preparation, Tharja can call upon the dead)
  • Preparation (Certain hexes require varying degrees of preparation for Tharja to achieve)
  • Resistance to:
  • Magic (Via the resistance to magic stat directly stated to exist like here)
  • Probability Manipulation (Has several charms that protect against misfortune and bad luck)
  • Unconventional Resistance to Soul Manipulation (Characters in Fire Emblem can consistently survive without their souls, albeit while being reduced to a husk personality wise)

Weaknesses

Unhealthily obsessed with Robin to the point where she is willing to do nearly anything to be with them. Some of her magic requires tomes, a certain degree of preparation, or knowledge such as one's true name and specific details about them to inflict curses. Unable to curse people with higher willpower.

Ranked tied for #21 of 160 in Fire Emblem by strength.
