Hidden Transcendent Names of God: Sarah is aware of many Hidden Transcendent Names of God, being able to quickly discover them herself. These are close-to-random assortments of syllables that when spoken create supernatural effects. While most humans can only speak around eight or ten letters per second, making most names take many seconds to speak, Sarah can speak these Names faster than humans,Chapter 40: In Terrible Majesty, even replacing syllables with clicks and beeps. It'd still take her time to speak these, but she'd be much faster than most other characters.
* Sacred Kabbalistic Marriage of Minds: Sacred Kabbalistic Marriage of Minds is a ritual fueled by a Name of God which allows two minds to connect across distance and death.Chapter 70: Nor For Itself Hath Any Care This grants those linked telepathy with each other, and makes it so that if one of them dies their mind is transferred to the other's, allowing some persistence after death.Chapter 70: Nor For Itself Hath Any Care To the point that control of the alive person's body can be passed to the dead person.Chapter 70: Nor For Itself Hath Any Care SCABMOM also has the side-effect of passing knowledge of Names through these telepathic links, seemingly unconsciously.Chapter 19: The Form Of The Angelic LandChapter 59: Clothe Yourself In Golden Arms But as this is an unconscious process they're not consciously aware of these Names they learn this way unless they're explicitly consciously shared.Chapter 25: Lie Down Before My Feet, O Dragon
* Light Manipulation: Early on Aaron (by use of Sarah) discovers an unnamed Name that shoots a beam of light in the direction of the moon.Chapter 6: Till We Have Built Jerusalem
* Biological Manipulation: Early on Aaron (by use of Sarah) discovers an unnamed Name that gives him perfect 20-20 vision.Chapter 6: Till We Have Built Jerusalem
* The Spectral Name: The Spectral Name turns the speaker invisible, but wears off as soon as they speak another word.Chapter 11: Drive The Just Man Into Barren Climes
* The Airwalker/Airwalking Name: The Airwalker/Airwalking Name (the exact moniker is unclear/inconsistent) lets the speaker walk on air as if it were solid ground.Chapter 11: Drive The Just Man Into Barren Climes
* The Zephyr/Mistral Name: The Zephyr/Mistral Name (the exact moniker is unclear/inconsistent) calls various winds before the user, the squall, simoon, sirocco, monsoon, marin, zephyr, levante, tramontane, haboob, and the Santa Ana.Chapter 21: Thou Also Dwellest In Eternity The user is then able to fling these winds at a target.Chapter 27: The Starry Floor The Watery Shore
* The Tempestuous Name: The Tempestuous Name, as it says on the tin, summons a tempest,Chapter 2: Arise To Spiritual Strife but only with the power to knock someone off their feetChapter 15: O Where Shall I Hide my Face or blow some skeletons off a building.Chapter 40: In Terrible Majesty
* The Vanishing Name: The Vanishing Name is a form of teleportation, with a range of at least a few hundred miles. However, it's limited in that it teleports you to a situation complementary to the one you're in. Using it in a laboratory devoted to the testing of kabbalistic Names has you ending up in another laboratory devoted to the testing of kabbalistic Names in another city. Using it while being accosted by hooligans teleports you to the bad part of another city in front of some hooligans looking for someone to accost.Chapter 2: Arise To Spiritual Strife
* The Confounding Name: The Confounding Name, when spoken, lets one change the memories of themselvesChapter 2: Arise To Spiritual Strife and others.Chapter 41: Go Love Without The Help Of Any Thing On Earth This can be used to wipe memories of certain things entirely or subtly alter memories in an undetectable fashion.
* The Ascending Name: The Ascending Name lets one rise into the air. Exactly how high it sends someone seems controllable, capable of sending someone up to a balcony,Chapter 10: Bring The Swift Arrows Of Light atop the Empire State Building,Interlude ל: New York City or even higher than the hills.Chapter 15: O Where Shall I Hide My Face
* The Motive Name: The Motive Name is used to make things move. It's usually used to make cars move, replacing the internal combustion engine,Chapter 7: The Perishing Vegetable Memory and it can also be used to turn locks.Chapter 39: Fearful Symmetry It was also seemingly used by Sarah to let her move despite not having legs/a body.Chapter 41: Go Love Without The Help Of Any Thing On Earth
