Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Hyōi Gattai: This shamanic technique enables the shaman to integrate spirits into their body, forming a "unity" of both, their spirit and that of the ghost. The shaman would enter a special trance which enables them to synchronize their spirit with that of the ghost, allowing the ghost to possess their body and enabling the ghost to interact with the physical world. Furthermore, once integrated, the shaman takes on the knowledge & wisdom of the ghost as well as their personality.

- Over Soul: Placing a soul into a medium to achieve greater fighting strength.

- O.S. Silva Arms: This is Silva's multi-spirit Over Soul which turns his five totems, sealed within his rings, into armor. Each totem solidifies through the symbolizing medium: feathers for his eagle totem; a snake jawbone for his snake totem; a turtle carapace piece for his turtle totem; a buffalo horn for his buffalo totem; and a coyote femur for his coyote totem. Silva molds each totem as a different O.S in the most efficient form to directly display their abilities. These are the descriptions of the five totems in Silva's possession:

  • Silva Shield: Silva's turtle totem. As an O.S., Silva Shield materializes over Silva's left forearm as a turtle-shaped shield. This O.S. provides protection for Silva. This is perhaps Silva's most deceptive O.S. as its simplistic appearance belays its true capability. The surface of the shield ripples when hit, absorbing and dispersing the impact of attacks, protecting Silva, and shattering the adversary's mode of attack.

  • Silva Tail: Silva's coyote totem. As an O.S., Silva Horn materializes over Silva's left leg as a coyote-faced greave. This O.S. enhances Silva's leg strength utilizing a minimal amount of Furyoku in bursts. This ability enables Silva to make extraordinary leaps and dashes; even in a single bound.

  • Silva Wing: Silva's eagle totem. As an O.S., Silva Wing materializes as winged armor over Silva's shoulders and back. This O.S. enables Silva's ability of flight. Offensively, the razor-sharp edges of the wings can tear a target to shreds.

  • Silva Horn: Silva's buffalo totem. As an O.S., Silva Horn materializes over Silva's right leg as a buffalo-faced greave. This O.S. multiplies the power of Silva's leg, thanks to the design of the greave. The buffalo face releases jets of mana from its 'nose' and 'mouth' generating tremendous power behind his kicks.

  • Silva Rod: Silva's snake totem. As an O.S., Silva Rod materializes over Silva's right forearm as a coiling, snake-shaped rod. This O.S. can be used by Silva to constrict targets and/or straighten into a piercing rod.

After being brainwashed and strengthened by the Patch Song, silver gains more Furyoku, combined with his lack of hesitation, he can create a stronger O.S. Silver Wing is now capable of cutting up Lyserg's Mastema Dolkeem, and Silver Rod can make a hole in Yoh's Byakkou, which can prove to its strength since both Over Souls are armor types. Silver Tail is also faster than the Jaguarman O.S. who was otherwise thought to be the fastest O.S. at the time. His animal totems also become much bigger and gain a more robotic shape. Silver Rod is now big enough to wrap around Silvers entire arm and wrap around Lyserg's body, and crush him like an anaconda. Silver Shield is big and strong enough to block Horohoro's Nipopo Gauntlets and prevent freezing and Silver Horn is now materialized enough to attack with its horns. This upgraded version has been dubbed as O.S. Silva Arms V.2.

  • Silva Horn: This is one of Silva's new attacks. By using his buffalo spirit Silva Horn, on his leg. Launching his knee into the air he can attack with the horns of Silva Horn and launch the opponent high into the air.

  • Silva Shield: His turtle totem is materialized enough to block any attack. In turn, Silva can now not only block an attack but also shatter the O.S. of the one hitting Silver Shield.

- O.S. Totem Pole Cannon: He Silva Arms are also capable of a special O.S. formation called "Totem Pole Cannon". However this formation is rarely used because of its considerable Furyoku consumption. This Over Soul is a totem pole composed of Silvas five spirits combining into a totem pole and then transforming into a cannon.

  • Totemic Soul Blast: By charging his Totem Pole Cannon with Furyoku, The head of Silver Wing opens its mouth and gathers energy inside of it. When enough energy is charged it fires a strong ball of concentrated Furyoku at the opponent. In the anime it is revealed that the power of this attack depends on how much Furyoku is used. This attack was first seen used against Yoh, in his qualification match.

  • Totemic Soul Blast, Shot at Close Range: A variation on the original Totemic Soul Blast, that is a testament to Silva's newly gained powers and fighting spirit, using O.S. Totem Pole Cannon V.2. It still fires a super dense spiritual energy shot but it is instead shot directly into an opponent at point-blank range. Unlike its predecessor it requires little to no charging time, while still regaining an extremely powerful blast. It has the power to easily shatter an armor over soul in a single hit. So far this attack has only been used against Yoh, in their fight in the Glacier Plant.

- O.S. Flesh and Blood Spear: This Over Soul was created to challenge Yoh's O.S. Spirit of Sword Byakkou during their fight in the Glacier plant. Silva Tail and Silva Horn take positions as the left and right arms, respectively. Silva Wing, Rod, and Shield combine to create the spear portion of the O.S. The true potential of this Over Soul was never shown as Silva was defeated moments after forming it.
