* Earth Vein: Due to the Dragon Blessing she received from her adopted father, Gaelion, she has access to both the Standard Magic System and the Dragon Vein Magic System through the ability, Earth Vein.
** While Standard Magic relies on MP to fuel spells, Earth Vein relies on the vitality of objects around the user. Standard Magic casting is easier than Earth Vein, as you have to not only pull vitality from a nearby object, but you also have to arrange a puzzle set in your mind with it to shape the spell. However, some of the benefits of this system include the fact that you're able to cast magic outside of your affinities (as long as the appropriate objects to pull vitality from are nearby), the spells are generally more powerful, and you can cast a wider variety, or if you're good enough, learn how to shape the puzzle pieces for a specific spell for later.
** She has also learned the Gem Magic version of this thanks to Therese training her during the second half of the Spirit Tortoise Arc.

* Drifa Protection Tornado: A spell that summons tornado to deflect attacks.
* Zweite Gust: A wind spell.
* Fast Gust: A wind spell.

* Eternal Springs of Diligence: Boosts regeneration massively for the wielder and all nearby party allies. Allowing them to power through the worst pains thanks to them healing at the cost of life force. Also boosts the efficacy of healing potions/spells.

* Blessing of Raphael: Boosts endurance and stamina of all allies in the party system, regardless of distance from wielder. The true aspect of Diligence can be given to an entire army if need be.
* Shatterpoint: When wielder bashes into an enemy or group of enemies, the enemy’s armor and defenses are shattered upon contact. Uses SP based on amount and quality of armor and defenses shattered. Requires wielder to touch the enemy in order for the effect to activate.

* Fourth Method: '''[[EquipmentUpgrade [Rarity Up] ]]'''. This was Ren's last method. All weapons started with a C, or Common Rating. Using Mastery energy, you could upgrade a weapon form's rarity. Each tier up would increase the weapon's overall stats, with higher tiers providing higher stat increases than lower tiers. It had a chance of failing though, which could reset a weapon's rarity back to C. Meaning you had to be careful when using it.

Second Method: '''[[SocketedEquipment [Ore Enhancement/Equip] ]]''': This allowed the Hero to insert ore into ore slots on a weapon via the HUD. The ore inserted into a weapon upgraded a certain stat, and there was a finite amount of ore slots per weapon. Also, it ONLY took ore. You couldn't insert monster materials or anything else related to the Weapon Form. It had to be ore.

Third Method: '''[[MagicEnhancement [Item Enchantment] ]]''': This turned unwanted items and monster corpses collected by the Legendary Weapon into energy to enchant with. There is a chance of failure every time the method is used, and if it fails: the enchantment on the weapon form will reset to 0.

Fourth Method: '''[[JobSystem [Job Levels] ]]''': The best method Itsuki has. It looks useless at first, as it requires a lot of materials to upgrade a stat's level by 1, granting a bonus of +1. Plus, it has a 24-hour cooldown before you can use the method again to raise the same stat to another level, with a higher material cost... by +2. However, the secret behind this method is that each level keeps the boosts of previous levels. So by level 10 it'd have a bonus of +55. By level 100 the stat would have a bonus of +5050. Level 200 would have a stat bonus of +20100. And so on and so forth.

Main Core Method: '''[[EvolvingWeapon [Weapon Mastery] ]]''': By growing more accustomed to a weapon form, its stats increase. If done for long enough, it could make your starter weapon form strong enough to face endgame content.

Second Method: '''[[DesignItYourselfEquipment [Smelting] ]]''': Using ore, one can upgrade various weapon forms to increase their stats. It has no upper cap to it, but each level has a chance of failure. If it fails, the upgrade for the weapon reverts back to 0. Be careful when using this method.

Third Method: '''[[AcquiredPoisonImmunity [Spirit Enchantment] ]]''': Parts of monsters' souls drop when they die. You can use those fragments to imbue weapon forms with special enchantments that increase damage to specific monsters, resistance to elemental damage, and so on.

Fourth Method: '''[[PointBuildSystem [Status Enchantment] ]]''': Using monster souls, you can imbue a weapon form with an enchantment that increases magic power, or strength, or any of your other stats. If you don't like what you get, you can choose to replace the enchantment with something else.

* DoesntGetDrunk: Literally a natural-born ability Naofumi was born with back in his world, one that his Shield doesn't help with at all. One could almost call it a quirk. He can't get drunk even when eating Riculu fruits, which hold enough alcohol in one berry to kill a man ten times over.

** Basically, because the only downside to this method is higher material costs and a 24 hour cooldown, it is also the most broken method as there is no failure and no chance of reset unlike with other methods.

Third Method: '''[[MagicEnhancement [Item Enchantment] ]]''': This turned unwanted items and monster corpses into energy to enchant Weapons. There is a chance of failure every time the method is used, and if it fails: the enchantment on the weapon form will reset to 0.

* Main Core Method: '''[[EquipmentBasedProgression [Level Link] ]]''': This was Ren's core method. Basically, as Naofumi leveled up, the stats of his weapons would also increase. It made sense why the Sword Hero spent so much time grinding for levels before this.

* Main Core Method: '''[[PowerEqualsRarity [Rarity Strength] ]]''': This was Itsuki's core method. It passively increased a weapon's stats based on how rare it was. It did not, however, base it on Ren's rarity method, but rather how rare the weapon itself was. If Naofumi were to describe the difference between the two methods. It'd be like having an Excalibur, and then having '''''THE''''' Excalibur. One method worked on ranking up a weapon's rarity to that of Excalibur. The other became immensely powerful if it copied THE sword of legend itself and not a fake.

Third Method: '''[[MagicEnhancement [Item Enchantment] ]]''': This turned unwanted items and monster corpses into energy to enchant Shields. There is a chance of failure every time the method is used, and if it fails: the enchantment on the weapon form will reset to 0.

* Main Core Method: '''[[EquipmentBasedProgression [Level Link]]]''': This was Ren's core method. Basically, as Naofumi leveled up, the stats of his weapons would also increase. It made sense why the Sword Hero spent so much time grinding for levels before this.

* Second Method: '''[[StatGrinding [Mastery Level]]]''': This was Ren's mastery method. By equipping a weapon or using it in battle, you could raise a weapon's mastery level to 100, increasing its stats along the way. At anytime, you could reset the weapon's mastery level, putting its stats back to normal but obtaining energy for the third method.

* Third Method: '''[[EnergyDonation [Energy Transfer]]]''': Using this method, you could use the mastery energy to awaken a weapon. This was permanent and not only increased a weapons stats but also upgraded or revealed abilities the weapon form didn't have before.

* Fourth Method: '''[[EquipmentUpgrade [Rarity Up]]]'''. This was Ren's last method. All weapons started with a C, or Common Rating. Using Mastery energy, you could upgrade a weapon form's rarity.

* Unable To Get Drunk: Literally a natural-born ability Naofumi was born with back in his world, one that his Shield doesn't help with at all. One could almost call it a quirk. He can't get drunk even when eating Riculu fruits, which hold enough alcohol in one berry to kill a man ten times over.

* One Hundred Swords: A skill that launches a swarm of blades at the target.

* Main Core Method: [Level Link]: This was Ren's core method. Basically, as Naofumi leveled up, the stats of his weapons would also increase. It made sense why the Sword Hero spent so much time grinding for levels before this.

It had a chance of failing though, which could reset a weapon's rarity back to C. Meaning you had to be careful when using it.

* Band Hero, Rank SSS: Itsuki's other natural quirk. This allows him to grab any instrument he's never played before, and be better than the masters at it within a few minutes of practicing. For combat situations, it wasn't considered very useful, so he hardly talks about it.

* Main Core Method: [Rarity Strength]. This was Itsuki's core method. It passively increased a weapon's stats based on how rare it was. It did not, however, base it on Ren's rarity method, but rather how rare the weapon itself was. If Naofumi were to describe the difference between the two methods.

Heroes can learn how to manipulate life force to raise their stats and power up their magic and skills. It is possible to even learn new skills through the various techniques of Hengen Musou for offensive and defensive capabilities. However, due to their weapon's restrictions, they are unable to learn all the secrets of Hengen Musou or life force in general, as to use it at its full potential requires one to be able to use any weapon.
