Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Universe level+, far higher with Excalibur
Stamina: Very High
Range: Hundreds of Meters to Stellar with magic
Standard Equipment: His Wand, His Hat, Cloak, Bag, Starter, Core Items, Her Sacred Treasure, Morning Star Aldan. It is a small sphere that can serve as an emergency container for her soul should her main body be incapacitated, and she uses it in conjunction with many spells. Various Magic Items (as explained below)
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Is known as "the great mage" having a powerful knowledge about magic and spells. From birth, she was a prodigy whose talent far surpassed the wisemen of Belialuin. Merlin is widely regarded to be Britannia's greatest mage, easily fooling the Great Holy Knights into believing she had an army and casually defeating Vivian, her former apprentice, who had become Liones' most powerful magician in her absence. While she has a variety of offensive spells at her disposal, she rarely fights in direct combat as she prefers more roundabout methods, rapidly teleporting foes until they are incapacitated by vertigo and attempting to lie to Galand to buy time for the other Sins. In addition to her magical prowess, she is also an excellent researcher who is willing to study demon magic (and has been doing so far longer than even Hendrickson) and developed several magical items to aid her allies in their endeavors. However, after her revival and realization of her own power, she took to the offensive and casually captured the likes of Grayroad with a single spell)
Weaknesses: None notable aside from a few "personality quirks". Often gets invested in his research.
