Powers and abilities

  • Abstract Existence (Type 1; The Idea of Evil exists as an ocean of blurred negative feelings, of evil)
  • Incorporeality (Has no true physical form. While he has a core, the Idea of Evil is the darkness that dwells in every human heart, their evil)
  • Nigh-Omnipresence (Exists everywhere within the Abyss, which is all a part of itself. The Abyss is an entire region of the Astral World)
  • Immortality (Type 1 & 5; Is an abstract concept)
  • Non-Physical Interaction (2 Layers Soul, Abstract; The Skull Knight intends to teleport the God Hand into the Abyss in order to entomb them there. Exists in the deepest layer of the Astral World)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Capable of perceiving and conversing with Griffith's soul)
  • Causality Manipulation & Fate Manipulation (The Idea of Evil manipulates Causality and determines the life on every human being. It produces reasons for suffering, pain, life and death for everyone and in the case of Griffith it controlled history, the lower levels of human consciousness, his lineage and all of his encounters to lead him into becoming a God Hand. This manipulation of Causality is combat applicable as is seen with how every attack completely misses Griffith due to his "strong fortune", as every attack is fated not to connect. It is impossible for man to change the course of Causality without existing outside of the story)
  • Precognition (Due to having sight and control over the flow of Causality, The Idea of Evil can know of events that will happen in the distant future)
  • Probability Manipulation (Control over Causality is sometimes referred to as a "very strong fortune", in the sense that it allows for achieving extremely improbable outcomes. Griffith's existence is one of these as he is Femto, which means one in a quadrillionth)
  • Limited Fusionism & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 3; Manipulating Causality brought forth the Great Wave of the Astral World together with the World Spiral Tree that connects the heavens, the earth and the underworld and that is the very essence of "tree" itself. Though this is not combat applicable)
  • Power Bestowal (Granted all of the God Hand their powers as well as their abstract body by making a form for them out of the evil that it is formed with. The Idea of Evil can also grant people protection via his manipulation of Causality. Such as Griffith, who it saved from death multiple times)
  • Corruption (Type 2; Daiba created a portal to the Abyss, which infused the people dropped into it with evil, corrupting them. It also destroys their ego)
  • Void Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Fusionism, Soul Absorption & Durability Negation (When those who have been caught up with demonkind die, their spirit is whisked in by the Abyssal Chain of Souls to the Abyss. There, they shall wander for all eternity until eventually all that is left of them is their blurred negative feelings, forming a common consciousness as they revert to nothingness. This chain is a part of the Idea of Evil)
  • Empathic Manipulation (Once the spirit of someone has passed enough time in the Abyss, nothing remains but evil and blurred negative feelings)
  • Creation (Passively creates Behelits as they splash out of itself, which can then reach the Physical World and be used. Behelits are merely small droplets that have spilled from the Idea of Evil. Thus it should have any of the abilities displayed by the Behelits amped to an enormous extent)
  • Dimensional Travel (When Behelits are activated they transport the people surrounding them to the Astral World)
  • Weather Manipulation & Air Manipulation (Behelits cause massive storms and tornados in their surroundings when activated)
  • Telekinesis (The Crimson Behelit could telekinetically accelerate the moon to bring forth the Eclipse)
  • Large Size (Type 3; The Abyss is all a part of itself and it covers an entire region of the Astral World)
