Ike is capable of using Mana Controlling and mastering any form of magic due to his Adoptive Grandfather Romberg, who is a demon mage in the demon country. Even a *Chantless* Magician even capable of Superior Military Tactics giving foresight has the power equivalent to making troops as determined as soldiers who know they are going to die, thus they will fight unto their deaths until their lives are exhausted.

By grasping and analyzing the situation, correct advice can be given to one's allies. Because of this, his knowledge in his previous life was able to be used as tactical knowledge used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized, even ruling a country.

Ike can sense when they are lied to by various means. Unlike regular humans who can also discern when they are lied to with limited accuracy and consistency, Ike can detect any lies being told at any moment, even if the one spewing lies is doing so through supernatural or abnormal means.

As he was given the weapon (*Matchlock Muskets*) by the demon lord Dairokuten, Ike utilized and mass-produced the matchlock muskets from Gunthor the dwarf, Ike used this as a counter and last resort weapon for the fight, he knew that the speed of the matchlock muskets can inflict damage to the opponent without noticing it because of the speed. Ike uses his magic gravity manipulation (Telekinesis) to able to control the matchlock muskets from focus aiming and loading bullets.
