Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Origin detection and awareness: Araya can find the origin AKA the governing concept of any soul. The origin is a human's birth, aims, objectives and ultimately the death, in short their destiny. By unknown methods he can also make people aware of their origin to gain superpowers. The best examples are Lio Shirazumi and of course himself. Araya's origin is "stillness" which made him practically immortal.

- Spiritual healing: Araya is extremely skilled at the art of healing. He restored Fujino's broken spine with a touch alone. Supposedly it's also the reason behind Araya's superhuman physical abilities.

- Rokudo Kyoukai (六道境界 ): A multi-layered Bounded Field that forces Araya's origin of "stillness" on anyone entering. It effectively stops the momentum completely once something is reaching the field. It can also erase his presence to avoid detection. Additionally unlike normal Bounded Fields, Rikudo Kyoukai isn't fixed both always following Araya. That allows him to use the field offensively in combat.

- Honouden Rokujyuyonshou (奉納殿六十四層 ): A Bounded Field that completely surrounds his workshop, the Ogawa Apartment complex. Extremely advanced magecraft that reflects Araya's inner world.Touko compared it to a Reality Marble in power. Araya has almost absolute control in there. He can teleport freely, is aware of every movement, regenerate from injuries, send out projections of himself, fuse people into walls or through them, crush any portion of space or even dump someone to a sealed dimension. As long as he or his opponents are inside Araya's workshop, they are fighting with an immense disadvantage.
