## Abilities

As a son of Hades, Karma is an extremely powerful demigod. In *The Son of Neptune*, Hazel stated Karma was the most powerful demigod she'd ever seen (to the point that she compared his power to that of a nuclear bomb), an impressive admiration given that she knew Jason Grace and dozens of other demigods (though meeting Percy caused her to question this judgment). In *The Blood of Olympus*, Reyna mentions that after being healed from his injuries by Hedge and resting for several days, Karma becomes significantly more powerful than ever before. Hazel once stated that she and Karma each control an aspect of Hades/Pluto's powers: death (for Karma) and riches (for Hazel).

* **Geokinesis**: Karma can control the earth - levitating rocks and making them deadly, black, and extremely sharp. Karma can open fissures in the earth that can swallow up creatures and trap them in the Underworld. He can cause earth tremors so powerful, they can shatter the pillars of a mountain fortress. He can also control the black walls of the Underworld. His geokinetic abilities are only surpassed by his half-sister, Hazel Levesque and his father, Hades.
* **Necromancy**: As a son of Hades, Karma has control over the dead, as well as many monsters native to Hades' realm, such as the Furies.
	+ **Power Over the Undead**: Karma can reanimate skeletons, summon Skeleton Warriors, put them to sleep, and destroy them. In *The Last Olympian*, he was able to summon a large army of undead soldiers all by himself. It is unknown how much he has increased in power since then. This is an extremely powerful ability as it literally allows him to have an army anytime he wants. However, summoning too many undead warriors at one time can cause him fatigue. As shown in *The Blood of Olympus*, when he is angered enough, Karma can destroy even undead warriors that aren't under his control. Whenever he needs a personal chauffeur, Karma summons Jules-Albert, a loyal French zombie.
	+ **Summoning Deceased Souls**: Karma can summon souls of the deceased by digging a pit, filling it with food (though animal blood can also be used), and chanting in Ancient Greek.
	+ **Releasing Souls**: as shown in *The Battle of the Labyrinth*, Karma can release the souls of people that should have died but had somehow managed to cheat death, such as Daedalus.
	+ **Sensitivity to Death**: Karma can sense death as it happens or when it is coming; when a person close to him dies, it comes as a ringing in the ears. In addition to that, he has a deep knowledge of the Underworld and knows when a person's life is being judged in the Underworld. Karma can also sense when an immortal is fading. His powers are so great he could even sense that Enodia was close to the Doors of Death within Tartarus.
	+ **Life Aura**: Karma can sense someone's life aura.
	+ **Seeing the Power of the Doors of Death**: Karma can see and feel the power of the Doors of Death.
	+ **Power Over Ghosts**: as the Ghost King, Karma can physically manipulate ghosts, such as taking hold of them by hand or forcing them to be silent with a gesture.
	+ **Ghost Transformation**: Karma can kill mortals, demigods and legacies by turning them into ghosts, and forcing them into the Underworld for eternity. However, this takes away a lot of his strength and may cause him to fatigue.
* **Osteokinesis**: Karma is able summon and telekinetically to control bones. He could only summon a few bones and skulls. But during his encounter with the wolf king he was able to summon hundreds of bones, enough to trap Lycaon and his wolves for a few minutes showing that his abilities improve extremely quickly.
* **Death Trance**: In *The Mark of Athena*, when he is sealed in the Bronze Jar, Karma shows that he can go into a hibernation called a Death Trance using the seeds of Persephone, which can only be eaten by a child of Hades. The Death Trance induces him to essentially die for a day, meaning he consumes no oxygen and doesn't need any kind of food (besides the seeds).
* **Umbrakinesis**: Karma has control over darkness and shadows for various uses such as solidifying it for attacks and to hide in it.
	+ **Shadow Travel**: Karma can use shadows as a way of transportation; however, great distances tend to wear him out. The first time he shadow traveled, he passed out for a week. He has said that while learning to use it, he ran into walls and made accidental trips to China. Due to Karma pushing himself to bring the *Athena Parthenos* to Camp Half-Blood, he began to lose himself, even entering a "shadow coma".
	+ **Shadow Absorption and Dissipation**: Karma can also dissipate and absorb shadows with his sword, since he kept the Giant's dark aura from affecting his friends.
	+ **Darkness Generation**: He can shoot solid bolts of darkness, and surround enemies in pitch-black clouds of lightless space.
	+ **Darkness Shields**: He can solidify shadows into virtually impenetrable shields.
	+ **Invisibility**: He can use shadows to cover himself in darkness to become invisible.
	+ **Umbrakinetic Healing**: He can heal himself and others using darkness (minor injuries).
* **Thermokinesis**: Karma has been shown to generate extreme temperatures to the point of combustion and freezing. However he has yet to control the fire and ice he generates.
	+ **Cryokinesis (limited)**: When Karma is infuriated, he generates an aura of intense cold, making the temperature around him drop to freezing, with the ground around him and the massive cairn turning white with frost.
	+ **Pyrokinesis (limited)**: When Karma swallowed up the four skeleton warrior attacking him and Percy in *The Titan's Curse*, "flames erupted from the fissure."However, it is not known how powerful his control over fire actually is.
* **Hypnokinesis**: Karma can navigate through "the dark dreamscape" of dreams better than most other demigods (and is only somewhat surpassed by demigod children of Hypnos, like Clovis), since he claims that dreams and death are "old friends of his." Hence, Karma has a higher degree on control over his dreams, the ability to astral project his consciousness, find and enter the dreams of other demigods.
* **Phobikinesis**: Karma radiates an intense aura of fear and death like his father, Hades, but to a much lesser degree. This aura was so strong that Kronos' monsters initially backed away from him. He is shown to radiate death from nervousness, as when Cupid intimidates him, "the grass turned brown and wilted" at his feet, as if "poison were seeping from the soles of his shoes." Even while he was still emaciated and weakened from Tartarus, even a demigod as brave as Jason Grace admitted to being afraid of Karma, possibly due to this fearsome aura in part.
