Weaknesses: Nothing notable
Destructive Capacity: At least continent level+ (Darth Cognus asserted Bane's raw power in the dark side was like nothing she had ever seen or felt despite just moments prior having witnessed through psychometry the devastation of Ambria and Thon's efforts to contain the power it had unleased millenia later) | At least continent level+, likely higher (Orbalisks amplify Bane's already considerable command of the Force) | At least continent level+, likely higher (Bane demonstrates greater command of the Force than he had back in Rule of Two covered in Orbalisks. This is best illustrated by how his physical strikes, despite lacking the Orbalisk's natural physical enhancing effects, demonstrate greater force when Darth Zannah at her peak tries to block them in comparison to her much weaker self doing so against Orbalisk Armored Bane back in Rule of Two)
Range: Star system (per the force secret "distant power")

Intelligence: Very deceptive and has experience in a variety of roles as a tactical leader of military squads, a Sith Lord and particularly gifted in the areas of espionage, deceived several experienced Sith Lords and the Dark Brotherhood, including Lord Kaan, someone who was particularly talented at that, also misdirected the focus of his teacher's suspicions several times at the Sith Academy on Korriban and while on Ruusan
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Convection: A concentration of Force energy that can make Darth Bane's fists hot to the touch, even to the point of possessing a burning intensity. It doesn't inflict harm upon the user.
- Cryokinesis: Darth Bane siphons the heat energy out of an opponent. It's potent enough where the power can leave the afflicted a frosted corpse.
- Death Field: Darth Bane projects a large concentration of dark side energy around himself in the shape of a sphere. Living beings that enter the field will have their life energy drained away, withering them into dried husks. The power is a double edged sword that will eventually consume the user as well.
- Force Barrier: Both an offensive and defensive Force power that creates a barrier or wall of Force energy around the intended target, be it self, friend, or foe. Depending on the strength of the individual, the barrier could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing. Darth Bane's proficiency with the power was great enough (and ironically led to his undoing in Rule of Two) that his Force Lightning wasn't potent enough to break through the barriers he had erected.
- Force Blind: A burst of Force energy that can overwhelm an enemy's optic nerves and render them momentarily blind.
- Force Lightning: An offensive Force technique that uses Force energy to produce electricity with one or two hands that stream outwards from the fingertips, its speed is usually great enough to catch an opponent off-guard even when prepared, and can be used either in bursts, or simply torrent out in an a gush of agony on its victim; Bane's usage of Force/Sith Lightning is great and advance enough to reduce dozens of Force Users into charred and badly burned corpses.
- Telekinesis: Bane can use this through the Force to put his mind literally over matter, capable of blasting opponents, shielding himself or disarming people, its limits are only those of the creativity that Force User has.
- Telepathy: Can easily manipulate others mentally with the Force to trick, deceive, maim or even kill outright. Can also use this power externally or internally when it comes to illusion creation, manifestation, and manipulation.
- Transfer Essence: A technique learned from Darth Andeddu's Holcron, Bane is able to transfer his living essence, I.E. his soul into the body of a vessel of his choosing. But before taking control of the vessel, he will have to fight a battle of wills with the consciousness of the person he is trying to possess. If he fails in doing so, his consciousness will be cast into the void doomed to spend an eternity of suffering and torment.
- Tutaminis: Through the Force, Bane can draw potentially harmful energy into his body and diffuse it or channel it away completely.
