Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
Goddess: After mastering the Commandments within him and regaining his sanity, Mael regained the use of their holy magic, such as using Ark and using light to form clothes for himself.
*Flight: Mael can manifest Goddess Clan wings from light or wings made of darkness to freely fly.
*Possession: Goddesses can inhabit other beings and use them as vessels, provided they obtain consent. Once inhabiting another body, Goddesses can use all their abilities, but their power causes the body to undergo changes. Sariel used this ability to possess Solaseed, and his power caused her body to grow to full maturity.
*Self-Healing: The Archangels have demonstrated light-based healing on several occasions. Sariel healed his body after having all his bones broken by Estarossa, a massive hole in his torso, a punctured eye from Derieri, and most notably from Indura Monspeet's Hellblaze attack, which nullifies even Ban's regeneration. Mael should be able to do the same now.
Power of Darkness: With the commandments, Mael can generate solid darkness from his body which he can manipulate and shape as well as project outward from himself. He can use this black matter for a variety of offensive, defensive, and supplementary purposes.
===Grace and Goddess Abilities===
Sunshine: Mael was bestowed a Grace by the Supreme Deity known as Sunshine. It allows him to become stronger with the rise of the sun to the point where he can become nigh-invincible, but will weaken as the sun sets. After becoming Estarossa, he lost his Grace which was passed to Escanor by unknown means.
*Cruel Sun: Mael forms a miniature sun in his hand that radiates immense heat. He can control its movements, using it to strike enemies as well as standing on it and using it as a flying vehicle. He can greatly enlarge the sun by putting more power into it.
*Greatest Sun: Mael forms a large version of Cruel Sun, throws it at his opponent, and creates a huge explosion.

Ark: The holy magic of the Goddess Clan that generates light particles for use in a variety of spells. It can disintegrate the darkness of the Demon Clan, although sufficiently powerful demons can handle Ark attacks like any other. A common use of Ark involves creating spheres of light around the user's target, inflicting damage on whatever is inside. Mael has demonstrated the ability to fire blasts and beams of Ark energy.

===Commandment Abilities ===
Lightball of Love: After absorbing his fourth Commandment, Mael shows the ability to temporarily remove the Love commandment's mark from his body and place it within a ball of light he forms in his hand. It quickly expands into a wide-ranging explosion that deals damage and transforms the pain of his victims into pleasure, putting them to sleep as they die.

Scythe of Silence: After absorbing his fourth Commandment, Mael shows the ability to temporarily remove the Reticience commandment's mark from his body and place it within a scythe he forms from the ground. The scythe can be remotely controlled to attack his opponents and when it wounds them, the mark of Reticience is placed on their body and they are unable to activate their magic.
