Soul Pull- Earth: By Pulling on the soul of the earth under her feet, The Scholar manipulates it for various purposes.

• Barrier: By pulling on the soul of the rock and ground, Scholar creates a plain, rectangular stone wall in front of her.
  
• Great Reflecting Maiden: A more advanced and powerful version of Barrier, this creates a massive barrier between Scholar and her foe made from the hardest minerals in the ground. The barrier is shaped like a woman holding a rectangular mirror in front of her.
  
• Abyssal Canyon: Scholar holds her hand to the ground for several moments before cracking the earth, forcing several sections to rise upward similar to tectonic plates colliding. She then smashes them together.
  

Soul Pull- Water: By Pulling on the soul of water, Scholar can accomplish tasks ranging from aiding herself in drinking the water, purifying it, or if the quantity from the source is great enough, shoot water at a target like a hose.
Soul Pull- Metal: By Pulling on the soul of nearby metal, Scholar can bend it to create a shield for herself.

• Instant Weaponize: By pulling on the soul of metal, whether in its natural ore states, or in its processed forms, Scholar creates a weapon of her choosing. It's usually either a spear or a scythe.
  

Inscribe: The most basic power of the Tome of Truth, Inscribe allows Scholar to record any event she witnesses onto a single page of the Tome by smearing her blood across it. The event may be a technique, an ability or something as mundane as a conversation.
Reveal: The second part of Inscribe, Reveal is activated by bleeding across an already marked page. In this form, Reveal creates a Phantom of the event, which is complete in visual and sound of all living entities recorded. Any technique or ability replayed is used to full effect by the Phantom, though The Scholar can summon the Phantom in the direction the ability should be used. The technique activates as if it was occurring now, interacting with events in the present. Each page refreshes after being used, ready to be filled by Inscribe after a single usage.
Soul Pull- Flora: By Pulling on the souls of plants while using her Tome, Scholar can cause plants to grow wildly and control their movements, such as causing vines or roots to tangle up her foes, or for trees to suddenly grow between her and an adversary, creating a barrier of nature.

• Wall of Thorns: By pulling on the soul of crawling plants or vines, Scholar creates a wide and tall barrier. She typically uses roses or thorny vines, but any kind of plant can be used.
  
• Prehistoric Growth: By pulling on the soul of ancient seeds and plant matter in the ground, Scholar causes them to blossom and grow to full size in moments.
  
• Zero Harvest: A simple technique that causes plants to grow and bear their fruit within moments.
  
• Animation: A very deadly technique, Scholar grabs the victim by the throat, laying a hand on their stomach at the same time. She then forces the plant matter in their stomach to mature and grow, killing them from the inside out.
  

Receive: This ability allows the Scythe to absorb any amount of energy directed towards it. By absorbing the kinetic energy of a foe's blow, it cancel's the force behind it effortlessly. However, it can only absorb a single kind of energy at a time. If an electricity covered sword clashes with the Scythe it can absorb either the electricity or the kinetic energy, but will still be affected by the other. This power can absorb Kido as well, but only one specific Kido at a time. The same goes for Cero and Ballas. Even if the energy comes from two sources or persons, as long as the energy itself, as in still a Cero or the same Kido number, they can be absorbed together. However, if the energy is all the same, it can continually absorb the energy, stockpiling it.
Return: Return works with Receive by taking all the stockpiled energy and releasing it all at once from the skull's jaw on the Scythe. The blast itself resembles a Cero or similar technique, but composed entirely from the energy used. It's power is equal to the combined total power of all the different attacks she had stockpiled.
Soul Pull- Bone: A Soul Pull technique only active while using her Scythe, Scholar Pulls on the souls of any bones in her immediate area, including her own. This can allow her to continue using broken limbs, or harden her bones to minimize injury in the first place. She can also cause bones to change their natural shape, using creating shivs or spikes from them.

• Striking Bone: This technique uses Soul Pull- Bone to remove the bones in her forearms and hands, forcing them out through a small slit near the elbow. The bones stretch out and form gauntlets, which wrap around the now boneless forearms and hands protectively, flattening the bones and stretching them. The bones are also altered to prevent her from feeling pain, by placing the pain receptive tissues within the bones, leaving only the hard material outside. This technique is used to protect her flesh and blood vessels, as well as allow her unarmed combat without feeling pain. Her fists are enhanced by bone spikes. She must consciously use Bone to manipulate and move the gauntlets, due to not having any tendons to move them with.
  
• Striking Bone- Knight: An offshoot of Striking Bone, this technique begins the same way. However, by using Soul Pull- Metal, Scholar pulls any surrounding metal of her choosing to her and plates the bones in the metal, enhancing their hardness and durability. The metal is attached by roots, which prevents them from falling off without her conscious need to use Soul Pull- Metal to hold them in place.
  

Oracle's Zone: This general ability is how she manipulates the bones that surround her body. By extending the Reishi ligaments between the bones, she can greatly increase her reach, to a maximum distance of sixty feet. The Oracle also augments her physical strength and durability by increasing her overall mass and potential force. Anything touched by the Oracle's bones is considered to be touching Scholar as well.
Soul Pull- Flesh: An ability obtained in her Oracle state only, Flesh allows her to change the physical properties of any skin or flesh she has physical contact with including her own. She can manipulate its hardness, thickness, elasticity, permeability, or texture. This technique can be used to rejuvenate dying flesh, or loosely hold severed flesh together. She can also cause flesh to stiffen, harden and loose its ability to stretch, which can be used to devastating effect if she happens to grab the enemy's throat with this in mind. By turning her flesh's texture and color to match that of the air, Scholar can turn herself invisible. However, she must also turn her bones the same otherwise she will appear as a walking skeleton. She can also turn only her skin clear, making only her muscles visible. Alternatively by turning her muscles clear, her internal organs are also visible. She must turn all of this clear, and her bones, for proper invisibility.
Soul Pull- Beast: This technique allows Scholar to pull on the souls of nearby animals, allowing her to incite stampedes or cause aggression towards her enemies. Alternatively, she can instill a need to protect in the animal's mind, making them protectors of a place or person. She cannot use Beast on any fauna with human-like intelligence including some primates, dolphins, and any Species.
Enhanced Tome of Truth: Oracle of Divination enhances the powers of her Tome, allowing Scholar to use any ability or technique inscribed on their pages herself, without worrying about the one-use limit. She can cause the Tome to vanish and appear at will in her left hand.
Enhanced Scythe of Lies: Oracle enhances the Scythe's base powers, allowing it to simultaneously stockpile multiple types of energy at once. It also gains the power to coat the Scythe in this energy, enhancing it's attributes depending on the energies used. She can also release multiple energy types at once as a combined blast, such as an electrically enhanced Cero, or multiple Kido released as one. She can cause the Scythe to vanish and appear at will in her right hand.
Enhanced Soul Pull- Earth: Her ability to Pull the soul of earth is enhanced to the point where she can draw on select minerals in the ground without effort, rather than hauling up whatever is available.
Enhanced Soul Pull- Water: Her ability to Pull the soul of water is enhanced to the point where she can pull water from the air to supplement what is already around her. While this decreases the humidity in the area, it also gives her more water to manipulate. She can also freeze water in her Oracle state.
Enhanced Soul Pull- Metal: Her ability to Pull the soul of metal objects is enhanced to the point where she can draw out impurities in metal that weakens it, enhancing it's strength. Combined with her Bone and Flesh, if she has the time and a physical hold on a Zanpakuto and the raw materials, she can manifest their Zanpakuto spirit into a tangible body.
Enhanced Soul Pull- Flora: Her ability to Pull the soul of plants is enhanced to the point where she can cause rapid mutation in plants, reviving once extinct species of flora using their leftover organic matter in the ground.
Enhanced Soul Pull- Bone: Her ability to Pull the soul of bones is enhanced to the point where she can completely grow new bones from her existing ones, allowing her to mutate her skeletal structure into any conceivable shape. Doing so is extremely painful, however. Combined with her Flesh, she can grow new limbs or 'attach' hacked off limbs, to be healed properly latter. She can manipulate the bones of her Oracle ability itself, causing her exo-skeleton's limbs to grow or change shape, or create new limbs. Using Bone, Scholar can change the texture and color of her bones, including Oracle's exo-skeleton. By changing the texture to be like that of air and the color to become clear, she can turn the skeleton around her completely invisible, however it is still tangible, meaning people can touch it or collide with it as well.
White Bone Garden: A technique based on an anime character that Jordan loves, this uses her enhanced Soul Pull- Pull to create a vast root system underground out of any bones, most often the bones on the Oracle's feet. These roots then sprout more roots that shoot upwards, stretching to twenty feet above ground, further growing thorns of bone off each shoot. The bone shoots are hard and very sharp, and can eviscerate anyone within thirty yard of where she begins the technique.
Ouroboros Form: The ultimate culmination of her Soul Pull allows Jordan to complete change her shape into that of a multi-headed serpent. Normal conditions require four hours for the change and seven hours of rest afterwards, however she can shorten this into minutes on the condition her body falls into a week-long coma the next time she falls unconscious. Nothing can shorten this period further aside from further mastery of this technique.
