*TBA*
**Witchcraft:** She was an extremely powerful witch having studied the magical arts since the 17th century being referred to as “colossally powerful”, the “deadliest witch in the world”, and the “most powerful witch on Earth” though all of those were individual opinions and not hard facts. Due to a sealing spell cast on her by the grand coven, her abilities were considerably limited in the sense that she had to use spells for virtually anything when others were able to achieve similar effects through mental effort.

* **​​Diminishing Spell:** Rowena's most powerful spell, and the most complicated to produce. Firstly, Rowena must be supported by at least 3 other powerful witches, who must prepare a concoction of various, mostly unknown ingredients (Such as coals, owl feathers, yarrow roots, and the jaw bone of pig). Said concoction must be placed inside a bowl, which is laid on top of a complex sigil, and a hoodoo is later placed atop the mixture and ignited. All the witches must simultaneously speak the word "Attenuare", and pour all their magical powers into the spell. Finally, Rowena will be capable of casting a wave of powerful purple lightning, which will weaken and damage the target from inside out. Notably, this was capable of harming The Darkness' vessel.
* **Mind Control Spells:** With the Servitude Spell, she made an initially unfriendly waiter at a fancy restaurant become compliant. The Attack Dog Spell also turns the victim into the slave of Rowena's will, attacking whomever she directs them to.
* **Astral Projection Spell:** Rowena was able to separate her consciousness from her physical form in order to project it elsewhere as an intangible force.
* **Cursing:** Rowena was capable of cursing the Seraphim Castiel with the Attack Dog Spell in an attempt to kill Crowley. Her spell was so powerful that only she could remove it with it blocking even the angel Hannah's powers. Rowena was powerful enough that she was able to use this spell to turn two fellow witches upon one another.
* **Immortality:** As a witch, Rowena does not age and has survived for around 377 years.
	+ **Self-Resurrection (formerly):** Using a seal she placed in her body, Rowena could quickly resurrect from almost any manner of death, being noted by Lucifer to be very hard to permanently kill as only she could remove the seal. However, when she removed the seal she lost this ability.
* **Tracking Spell:** Using a crystal ball, Rowena could perform a tracking spell capable of locating Lucifer. She was also able to cast a spell on the Black Grimoire so she could locate it, but this one was less accurate and only gave her a general location and if the book was moving around. When unbound, she was powerful enough to narrow down the location of Gabriel though he sensed her tracking spell.
* **Thermokinesis:** In order to warn the Winchesters, she burned a message onto a nearby wall from a remote location using a spell.
* **Chronokinesis:** With help from a second witch and a spell from the Book of the Damned, Rowena could time travel.
* **Telekinesis:** Rowena has pinned humans to the ceiling by impaling them on furniture on multiple occasions. She could restrain both Crowley, a powerful crossroads demon, and Castiel, a Seraph, simultaneously, and etc. Rowena has demonstrated the ability to throw humans a considerable distance with her mind, as shown when she attacked Sam and Dean. She was also able to cause multiple pieces of furniture to move across a room and form a barricade behind her to prevent a demon from following her.
* **Summoning/Banishing:** Rowena can summon and banish powerful beings through spells. She is the only known witch capable of casting the Cage Projection spell to summon Lucifer and the reverse of it to banish him back to Lucifer's Cage. She later on banished Lucifer to the bottom of the ocean after decaying his vessel.
* **Power Granting:** Rowena is capable of bestowing other beings with any manner of supernatural ability.
* **Healing Spells:** When Amara's powers were significantly weakened by massive injuries caused by the massive smite, Rowena was able to heal her with the Dark Medic Spell. \*Paralyse Spell: She was even able to briefly paralyze Lucifer himself, although her magic proved to be insufficient to last for long.
* **Spell Negation:** Using a voodoo ritual, Rowena powered down the warding protecting Dean WInchester’s car that was installed by Castiel. Through the Mark of Cain Removal Spell, Rowena could remove the Mark of Cain, the first curse. She was also the only one capable of removing her Attack Dog Spell which Castiel referred to as having cursed him.
* **Demon Killing Spell:** Rowena crafted a spell called Defigere Et Depurgare that was capable of quickly slaying ordinary demons using a hex bag. She is so far the only witch to show the ability of killing demons with magic besides from her son Isaac or her other family members. The spell is less effective against powerful demons such as Crowley, but even here it can at the very least induce severe pain.
* **Molecular Combustion Spells:** Through spells, Rowena is capable of obliterating people. She attempted to obliterate Dean with a Gaelic Obliteration Spell which he only survived due to the Mark of Cain. She also turned three Grand Coven witches to dust using a witch-killing spell from the Book of the Damned.
* **Illusion Spells:** In the 18th century, Rowena invented an illusion spell which can realistically impersonate an individual. The spell can only be performed with a small stone called the Rune of Amarath. She believed the spell was powerful enough to fool Olivette, another powerful witch, and it proved powerful enough to trick Cain, the most powerful Knight of Hell, himself.
* **Vessel Manipulation:** Lucifer notes that Rowena can use magic from the Book of the Damned to strengthen his decaying vessel. Rowena was also able to instead cause the vessel to decay.

### Unsealed

**Superior Witchcraft:** After breaking the curse preventing her from reaching her full potential, Rowena became even more powerful than before, no longer needing spells every time she used magic. Now her eyes glow pink-purple similar to that of Jack Kline or an Angel. She has retained all her former knowledge and power while restricted but to more elevated levels. In addition, she has gained the following;

* **Supernatural Perception:** Since unlocking her powers, Rowena has shown the capacity to see and listen to reapers. She is the first human character known to perceive them without voluntarily revealing themselves. Rowena is also able to see the true form of Angels and Demons.
* **Incineration/Pyrokinesis:** By flashing her eyes purple, Rowena could kill a Reaper by incinerating them with spiritual fire ie Hellfire. She also set a hex bag on fire thus disrupting another witches spell.
* **Teleportation:** In a manner similar to angels and demons, she is able to transport herself from one location to another without physically inhabiting the space in between.
* **Advanced Telekinesis:** After unlocking her powers, Rowena no longer needed spells to influence both objects and people. She was even able to halt a witch killing bullet in mid air.
* **Portal Creation:** Through a ritual, Rowena can open a rift to another reality. Unlike in the version of the ritual transcribed on the Demon Tablet, Rowena is able to channel the power of the ritual through her hands instead of the Seal of Solomon.
* **Advanced Electrokinesis:** In an attempt to harm Billie, the New Death, Rowena conjured pink-purple lightning, similiar to the previous diminishing spell, projected out from her hands to attack the cosmic being. However, it proved largely ineffective. This also sent out a shockwave that threw Sam Winchester backwards.
* **Advanced Warding:** She placed wards around her apartment to prevent any supernatural or mortal from entering and if they did they would quickly die. These remained in place even after she died and went to Hell.
* **Resurrection:** Through spells, Rowena is capable of restoring a mortal to life. She even invented a spell that could bring someone back without disturbing the natural order.
* **Fate Manipulation:** Rowena became so powerful that she was able to change the fate of others in defiance of the triple fate goddesses. However, she could not change her own fate.
* **Soul Control:** ​​She was able to contain all the souls of Hell inside her by having Sam mortally injure her and then suck in all the souls into the wounds before she jumped through the closing rupture to Hell, killing her but imprisoning all the souls in Hell again.
* **Binding:** Rowena was capable of binding even an Archangel such as Lucifer using handcuffs made from pure magical energy. However, with enough time Lucifer broke loose.
* **Reality Warping (limited):** Through pure concentration, she can alter the world around her to a limited degree.

### As a Hell Spirit

After dying, Rowena retained her witchly skills and power at the level they were at her death and she also gained;

* **Sovereignty of Hell:** While in hell, she has near-absolute control over her domain being able to effortlessly shape it how she wills and commands all demons beneath her. However, free will does still exist so they can disobey her if they disagree with her commands and are willing to stand up to her wrath.

## Quotes

> "*I don't have many regrets, but the few I do still haunt me. Making Napoleon so short was just bitchy. Telling Mick Jagger he had no future when I dumped him. And, well, everything with dear Fergus. Then one day, you die and go to Hell, they make you Queen and you can't make it right. So, fix it.*"
