The Darkness/Abilities and Weaknesses

* **Immortality** - The Darkness is immortal. Even the combined power of all the angels caused her no permanent harm. She was also unfazed by a Hand of God-empowered Lucifer. However it's been stated that she can die as she asked her brother God to kill her.
	+ **Nigh-Invulnerability** - Considering her ability to stand against God and his archangels, the Darkness has immense resilience to physical and supernatural attacks. God himself was only able to speculate about what might be able to kill her.
		- **Superhuman Endurance** - She has displayed significant tolerance for extreme physical and psychological trauma. This was seen when, despite the combined massive attacks from Rowena and other witches, demons, angels and Lucifer, she was still able to move and walk up to God, and, upon facing the possibility of being trapped once again, was able to overcome her own weakness and easily overpower and fatally wound God.
	+ **Regeneration** - Amara has shown a healing factor. When she was wounded by a massive angelic smite, she absorbed an Angel's grace and took help from Rowena in order to restore her powers. However, after being significantly weakened by a massive angelic smite, full scale demonic attack, Crowley attacking, and Lucifer's Spear, she regenerated only minutes afterward.
* **Nigh-Omnipotence** - Castiel describes The Darkness' power level as near infinite, and she describes herself as more powerful than God. In fact, she is so powerful that her brother couldn't defeat her without the archangels, and their combined power was barely enough to seal her away. Even weakened after a combined attack from witches, demons, angels, and Lucifer, she managed to overpower and fatally wound God, as well as overpower and rip Lucifer from Castiel's body. Amara states God even at full power isn't powerful enough to force her to do anything. God further elaborated that while He can create and destroy universes only Amara can bring true destruction in what He described as a “hard reset”. Among the powers she showed were:
	+ **Absorption** - The Darkness is able to absorb energy attacks as seen in *O Brother, Where Art Thou?* and *Hell's Angel*. She was able to absorb the combined smiting of all angels, although it weakened her to a certain degree. The attack was supposed to destroy a large area instead it only formed a crater. Later, she absorbed an attack from Lucifer with the Horn of Joshua, this time without taking any injuries.
	+ **Angelic Exorcism** - Amara was able to pull Lucifer from Castiel's body. While Lucifer survived, the exorcism left him severely weakened.
	+ **Clairsentience** - Amara instantly detected the soul bomb embedded within Dean and mocked him for thinking that she wouldn't be able to notice it during their last encounter in *Alpha and Omega*. In *Raising Hell*, Amara was able to trace the energy emanating from God's Equalizer wound and deduced that he wasn't in full strength. In *Gimme Shelter*, Amara stated that she could feel how God has been destroying all Alternate Universes.
	+ **Conjuration** - She is said to be able to create a whole new reality in which everyone lives blissfully forever, but Lucifer disagrees.
	+ **Corrupting Effect** - Due to her great resentment over God betraying and trapping her, the Darkness' presence became a corrupting force to whatever it comes in contact with. The Mark of Cain corrupted anyone who wore it, turning them into a killer. When released, those who came in contact with the pure form of the Darkness turned into a senseless killer. Reaper Billie told Sam that he was "unclean in the biblical sense" from being infected by a Rabid. She can also speak to the Rabids, driving them insane. She often released a deadly fog which turned humans into Rabids and connected humans to her. However, Prophets are immune, as being touched by "God power" (which both Amara and God possess) merely activates potential Prophets.After she has reconciled with God, she likely no longer has this effect.
	+ **Electrokinesis** - She tortured Lucifer with powerful electrokinesis that burned his face.
	+ **Empathy** - The Darkness can feel and influence the emotions of humans. In *Raising Hell*, she was able to fully interpret the fear flowing through God, when he was trying to convince her to heal him.
	+ **Flight** - The Darkness, while disembodied, can fly in a similar manner to demons and angels without a vessel.
	+ **Healing** - After reconciling with God, Amara was able to heal the damage her nigh-omnipotent powers did to him, without any difficulty. God believed that she could heal the damage The Equalizer did to him, but Amara refused to help.
	+ **Implosion** - After Metatron fails to harm her with an angel banishing sigil, Amara imploded him into nothingness by surrounding him with darkness.
	+ **Localization** - Amara can find any being in existence, as long as they're not warded against her. She was able to track Rowena after she left her side. However, God was able to ward himself specifically against her. She was also able to locate Sam and Dean easily despite them being two states away from her with her even stating she could smell them a mile.
	+ **Mental Projection** - Amara was able to project an image of herself and Lucifer into Dean's mind to pass a message to God and later to ask Dean to meet with her. She was also able to project a vision of herself in her grown form surrounded by her smoke form into Dean's mind to communicate with him after her release.
	+ **Molecular Combustion** - With a wave of her hand, the Darkness caused an angel to explode into dust.
	+ **Pathokinesis** - Amara was able to cause humans to feel blissful.
	+ **Possession** - After her release, The Darkness possessed a newborn baby, Amara.
	+ **Power Negation** - With a wave of her hand, Amara was able to negate Lucifer's hold over the Winchesters. She also was able to render Lucifer completely powerless against her with ease. Amara has shown the ability to negate Chuck's ability to teleport so that he couldn't leave the bunker. However, Chuck said she couldn't keep this up forever, implying that he would eventually be able to overcome this.
	+ **Rapid Aging** - By consuming the souls of both humans and demons, she was able to incrementally age herself until the Darkness aged from a baby into a full adult.
	+ **Reality Warping** - While she conversed with Dean, her smoke form was still expanding, causing immense winds. However, they were completely unaffected by them, indicating that she has tremendous control over the physical Universe. Her power was evident when she turned a water fountain into blood. She is able to destroy all of God's creation and even Magic itself. Prior to the creation of the current universe, she destroyed multiple worlds God created. She was also able to create matter out of nothing as she could restore Mary's body to its original state thirty years ago, in spite of it being destroyed by Azazel.
	+ **Resurrection** - As a "thank you" for Dean helping her, Amara resurrected Mary Winchester. She was able to do this with no apparent effort despite Mary being dead for over thirty years and having left no body behind.
	+ **Sedation** - With a wave of her hand, Amara was able to knock Lucifer out.
	+ **Smiting** - Just by raising her hand, the Darkness was able to kill an angel with a similar effect to an angel blade.
	+ **Spell Deflection** - While she was briefly affected by the Diminishing Spell, Amara was able to quickly overcome and deflect the spell back at Rowena and the other four witches, killing all but Rowena instantly.
	+ **Soul and Grace Consumption** - After she was released, the Darkness started devouring human souls in order to heal herself and restore her former power. In her human form, she ate Deputy Jenna Nickerson's soul which made her grow into a little girl and later a preteen girl. She has since consumed many souls (including demon souls). It's revealed that she can also consume the grace and essence of angels, as she consumed Ambriel, draining her from inside her vessel.
	+ **Super Strength** - The Darkness was easily able to throw a grown man with enough force to kill him. The Darkness also blocked an attack from Castiel with ease and threw him several feet away with barely touching him. When attacking God, the Darkness was able to easily strangle him one handed even after being severely weakened by a sequential attack from witches, angels and demons.
	+ **Supernatural Concealment** - While God could hide himself from Amara, she also was able to hide herself from God. However, Donatello was able to sense her presence.
	+ **Telekinesis** - In the form of Amara, the Darkness displayed telekinesis. She forced an angel to kill himself with his angel blade and even overpowered God and Lucifer at the same time.
	+ **Teleportation** - Amara can teleport anywhere in the multiverse. She used this power in various occasions and could even teleport into the Bunker, a heavily warded location with ease. She could teleport herself alone or with others in an burst of light like she did with Lucifer who was possessing Castiel's vessel.
		- **Apporting** - She was able to teleport Dean out of his car without a word. Later, she apported him from a city to the countryside and back. She was also able to apport her dying brother to her. With just a snap of her fingers, Amara was able to teleport both herself and Chuck to Heaven and later to the Men of Letters bunker, both against his will.
	+ **Umbrakinesis** - As the Darkness, she has the ability to summon and control clouds of darkness for various purposes. Amara was able to use this to create tentacles of darkness to attack and fatally wound God to the point that only she could heal him and not even The Book of the Damned could do anything to help God. On another occasion, Amara gathered all of the darkness surrounding her into her being and fired it into Heaven in the form of a shockwave as a demonstration of her power.
	+ **Weather Manipulation** - As The Darkness expanded on Earth, she caused powerful winds. She also created a deadly storm with her mind that burned people to charred skeletons. When Amara fired a shockwave of darkness into Heaven, storm clouds formed on Earth with lightning flashing throughout them violently.
* **Nigh-Omniscience** - Amara was capable of producing deep insight into people's character, at least those she was familiar with. She could, for example, sense that Rowena was fundamentally selfish despite the witch's helpfulness towards her. And if Amara felt her knowledge was lacking in some area, she could just give herself what she was missing. As such, after getting curious about Rowena's motivation, Amara immediately taught herself the fact that she was Crowley's mother. Although, after release, Amara was still learning about the Universe that God made, she was immediately able to speak English, in a way similar to God, who admitted he used his powers to learn French after he found the language too hard to learn the natural way. Amara displayed many other feats of deep insight. For example, when Rowena contacted her in *We Happy Few*, Amara saw right away that Rowena had defected to God's side and was manipulating her into a trap. Later in season 15, Amara also intuited all by herself that God had been harmed in the shoulder, lost his power to travel between worlds, and needed her to close his wound, after he unexpectedly sought her out and proposed a rapprochement between the siblings. After God was healed, she could tell he began to destroy all Alternate Universes and how far into this destructive project he was. However, Amara was not absolutely omniscient: for example, immediately after her release, she seemed to be unaware of the existence of Death, despite his being close to her in age. She also didn't know of Jack's existence prior to being told about it by Dean, though this was years after the Nephilim's birth, whereas her brother knew about him well. And she did not see that Dean (following Billie's lead) had been planning her death along with Chuck's, though God, again, seemed to have a general knowledge of the plan.
* **Mandatory Existence** - Amara's existence is necessary and provides balance to reality. As God put it, "Light needs Dark", and "Dark needs Light". If she were to be killed, reality itself would end. However, it was said that if both God and the Darkness were to die, a new balance would be established. Billie later confirmed that in order to kill God without disrupting cosmic balance, Amara must be killed as well.

## Weaknesses

Despite her immense power, even The Darkness has weaknesses and can be sealed away or even killed. However, it takes extreme levels of combined power, as even a Hand of God used by Lucifer, which is capable of hurting Archangels, caused her no harm when used alone. Castiel once described her as seemingly impossible to destroy. Her brother God is the only being powerful enough to kill Amara, though not on his own, but he chooses not to as he says that the Darkness (Amara) and the Light (God) must both exist for the Universe to maintain balance, if either God or The Darkness cease to exist, the other also ceases together with reality itself. Thus, God opted to seal her away.

### Harming and Banishing

* **Combined forces of powerful beings** - The combined strength of God and the Archangels was strong enough to bind the Darkness and seal her with a lock, albeit barely. An attack by an army of demons, in smoke form, after an attack by witches and a mass-smite by angels somewhat weakened Amara.
* **The Mark of Cain** - The Mark of Cain was the "lock" to the prison that held the Darkness back. As long as someone bore the Mark, the Darkness would remain sealed. Amara has displayed a great fear of the Mark of Cain, claiming that she would rather finally die than be imprisoned by that Mark.
* **Lucifer's Spear** - After a combined attack of angels, witches and demons it was capable of harming her vessel to the point of her admitting defeat.
* **Archangels** - While a single archangel cannot harm Amara, the four archangels together can weaken her enough for God to be able to trap her.
* **Men of Letters bunker** - Original cosmic warding was able to keep Amara outside of the Bunker. However she was able to destroy the warding with ease and teleport inside.
* **Witchcraft** - Although being one of the most powerful beings in existence, magic is still able to affect Amara, as Rowena used the Dark Medic Spell to heal her, and she combined with four other powerful witches were later able to use a powerful spell to diminish her to an extent, briefly bringing her down and burning her face and right shoulder and leaving her somewhat weakened, although Rowena's lone power proved to be completely ineffective against her and even their combined might didn't held her for long as she redirected the spell back at them, burning the four witches and rendering Rowena effectively helpless. God's magic, harnessed through a spell, was able to trap Amara inside the Mark of Cain when she was weakened, and despite retaining enough power to overpower God and Lucifer after she was weakened by the combined efforts of the demons, witches and angels, she had to actively resist God's attempt to recast the spell and trap her inside the Mark of Cain rather than simply withstanding it head-on, suggesting it would have worked had she not fought back.

### Killing

* **God** - God is able to kill the Darkness, though he needs help to weaken her first.
* **Light (possibly)** - According to God, a massive amount of light equivalent to 10,000 suns going supernova at once could potentially destroy the Darkness, albeit he noted this is nonetheless highly questionable, being only a **possible** weakness.
	+ **Soul Bomb** **(possibly)** - A bomb made up of a couple hundred thousand souls could potentially emit enough light to destroy the Darkness. Amara herself acknowledged the Soul Bomb was dangerous to her, further indicating had Dean detonated the Soul Bomb, it may have killed her.
* **Jack Kline** - Billie's plan was turning Jack into a bomb, or something like a "metaphysical supernova" that would collapse into a living black hole for divine energy from which even God and the Darkness couldn't escape, but would also kill him in the process.
* **Mandatory Existence Compromised** - If God were to be killed, the imbalance would result in the annihilation of everything that exists, including the Darkness. After God was drained of his powers and rendered mortal, his existence is no longer tied with Amara's.
