Powers and abilities

• Social Influencing (Convinced Stannis Baratheon to blindly believe in R'hllor to the point of even sacrificing his own daughter)
• Skilled Horse Rider
• Blessed Magic
• Fire Manipulation, Heat Manipulation and Light Manipulation (Can imbue multiple weapons with fire and generate large fires of high heat. She can also intensify the light of the fire)
• Life Manipulation
• Resurrection (Resurrected Jon Snow)
• Darkness Manipulation (Can give birth to living shadows)
• Longevity and Age Manipulation (Using a enchanted necklace, she lived for 400 years with a youthful appearance)
• Curse Manipulation with Preparation (Prepared a blood magic ritual involving drawing royal blood with leeches, and then having Stannis curse the names of his rival kings into the fire, which ended up killing them over time)
• Weather Manipulation (After sacrificing Shireen Baratheon, the large snowfall that stopped Stannis's army ceased and the snow melted)
• Clairvoyance and Illusion Creation (Red Priests can see into the past, present and future by staring into the flames. They are able to show the visions to other people)
• Poison Manipulation (Drank and survived a whole cup of poisoned wine with the Strangler, an extremely potent poison)
• Temperature Manipulation (Commented to Jon Snow that she was incapable of ever feeling the cold)
• Fire Manipulation (Can touch fire unharmed)

Weaknesses

She requires outside help in the form of a sexual partner to create shadow assassins. She can misinterpret the visions she sees in the flames, being wrong about them. Removing her enchanted necklace will nullify her longevity, reverting her to her true form as an elder and eventually dying.

Ranked #12 of 59 in Game of Thrones by strength.
