Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Hidden Transcendent Names of God: Dylan is aware of half a dozen Hidden Transcendent Names of God. These are close-to-random assortments of syllables that when spoken create supernatural effects. However, since most people can only speak around eight or ten letters per second, most of these, particularly the more powerful ones, take many seconds to speak.
* 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
* 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 Mortal Name: The Mortal Name is a four-letter long Name, the shortest Name, and by virtue of that the weakest. All it does is simply kill the speaker by lighting them on fire.Interlude ד: N-GrammataInterlude ק: Bush Dylan has weaponized this name by tricking others into speaking it.
Placebomancy: Placebomancy is a technique where one convinces the universe that something that is possible within coincidence should happen, and the universe makes it happen, akin to the placebo effect in humans.Chapter 8: Laughing To Scorn Thy Laws And Terrors It was originally performed by magicians, but soon other characters realized that magical ambience and rituals are simply a subset of the stronger power of narrative and literary tropes.Chapter 8: Laughing To Scorn Thy Laws And Terrors It has been used to make attacks inexplicably miss,Chapter 8: Laughing To Scorn Thy Laws And TerrorsChapter 65: The Fruit Of My Mysterious TreeChapter 65: The Fruit Of My Mysterious TreeChapter 72: And Builds A Heaven In Hell's Despair ensure victory under specific conditions,Chapter 29: He Who Respects The Infants FaithChapter 70: Nor For Itself Hath Any CareChapter 65: The Fruit Of My Mysterious Tree locate people,Chapter 8: Laughing To Scorn Thy Laws And Terrors create rainfall,Chapter 8: Laughing To Scorn Thy Laws And Terrors feed wind to a sail,Chapter 27: The Starry Floor The Watery Shore and even summon the devilChapter 60: O Rose, Thou Art Sick or the voice of God.Chapter 71: But For Another Gives Its Ease Dylan is a prominent user of placebomancy, and tries to take actions befitting of a protagonist to survive.
