Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Swordsmanship: Her spirit's elemental waffe, Dragon Slayer, is in the form of a colossal, odd-shaped sword, longer than her height. Despite its size, Leonora has no problem wielding it with devastating strength, skill and accuracy, capable of overpowering the likes of Kamito and Ellis, even fighting nearly on par with Rubia Elstein. With her monstrous power, combined with the might of her sword, she can crush military spirits with a single swing and slamming the earth with it creates craters and obliterates trees around the point of impact. She's able to wield Dragon Slayer one-handedly and throw it one-handedly as well; when doing so, she can make it spin on itself to increase its speed and power, generating violent winds around it
Spirit Magic
*Body Amplification: Leonora's body is passively boosted with physical enhancement and is usually covered with an invisible layer of defensive magic. She can either cover her entire body and cover a specific area with a concentrated effect, making that area nigh-invulnerable. She can furthermore increase her statistics in durability, power, striking strength and muscle strength, enough to casually repel Est. By doing so, Leonora's able to tank the recoil from any of her own attacks, including those from which any other elementalist’s body would get shred to pieces
*Dragon Eye: A spell that grants the user long-distance observation over an area, as if she was at the scene
*Dragon Blood: Under the influence of her Dragon Blood, Leonora enters a state where she becomes similar to a berserker in her style of fighting, making her dangerously unpredictable, more aggressive and instinctive, and greatly amplifying her strength and speed. She doesn't lose sight of things however, as she can distinguish friend from foe; instead she just becomes battle-hungry and excited for combat. In her class selection for entering the tournament prior to the main story, she single-handedly demolished all the other present candidates, most of which were upperclassmen and more skilled than her at the time
*Balmung: A spell that unlocks any and all restraints on the spirit’s power, trading Durability for a massive AP boost. Activating Balmung requires battle stimulation beforehand. The spell can't last for long, due to massive energy consumption and the spirit enters a mini-berserk state for its duration
Spirit Manipulation
*Weapon Form (Dragon Slayer): Nidhogg's waffe form is that of a huge odd-shaped sword. It can shoot fire projectiles from the ornament on its handle. While most elementalists can slightly increase their waffe's reach by covering it with invisible energy, Leonora can make the reach longer compared to others
*Dragon Form (Nidhogg): In the form of a large flying dragon, Nidhogg is an extremely powerful and resilient earth-attribute spirit of high rank. It can breath fire, turn the ground into burning magma, change size, amplify its statistics, and has massive Resistance to all Magic
