Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Magic: Magic in Inheritance works by the principle that spells consume physical strength. Each spell consumes as much strength as it would need to achieve the task with conventional methods. In order to use the magic one says what one wants to achieve in the ancient language, but alternatively one can also simply think what is supposed to happen and it will happen. Since the effects of magic are only limited by one's imagination and power it is a highly effective tool. Some of the ways people were killed using magic is by stopping the targets heart, breaking their neck and stopping the blood flow into the brain.
**Garjzla: This spell was used by the Shade Durza in the prologue to Eragon in which he raised his hand and uttered the word, causing a ball of red fire to spring from his palm and smite Arya, who collapsed. He then used this spell to quickly kill several Urgals.
**Boetk istalrí: Used by Durza to ignite a quarter-mile of forest.
** Twelve Words of Death: Killing spells, that targets and stops critical parts of the opponent's body (vital arteries or nerves), effectively killing the target. Each of this methods does not use more physical power than lifting a feather. With the death words properly applied, a magician could bring down entire armies. But because they relied on striking the correct body part and used very little actual force, they were extremely easy to block: the simplest ward could stop a death word, with almost no energy cost to the defender.
** Protection spells (Wards): Durza has a wide array of protection spells, which automatically activate to stop any damage, no matter whether from physical attack or magic. But by the laws of Magic, the spells should use up as much power to fend off an attack, as the initial attack had. The strength of wards is not affected by by the amount of energy Durza has left, as long as there is enough energy.
*Telepathic Attacks: Using his mental powers, Durza was able to sense every living being within his range, read their thoughts and memories, send information over to them by telepathic means or take control of their body. He can either focus on just one or a certain group of entities or just hold contact to all beings in several kilometers range (for example in a whole city) at once. By breaching the mental shields (if even existing) of an opponent Durza can furthermore torture them, drive someone insane, make someone speak an oath in the ancient language (which enables him to "programm" someone with his will), or create illusions so real that they can cause physical effects on the target and affect surroundings as if they were reality.
*Anori Draumr Abr Sundablaka It Ator Virliger : this spell allows the user to summon the sundavrblaka or the beast
