Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Blood Gout: A spell that forms a projectile from his blood. If it hits an enemy, that enemy's own blood would be tapped to feed Kain.

- Mind Control: Kain can mind control humans by removing their souls from their body and replacing them with his own, taking control of their flesh. When Kain releases his hold on the human's mind, the hijacked body dies.

- Mist: Kain has the ability to assume the form of mist and avoid harm, as a weakened fledgling Kain needed Mist nearby to use this ability.

- Inspire Hate: A spell that caused all enemies in the area to attack each other for a limited time. They only confronted Kain if he got too close to them.

- Spirit Wrack: Kain could seize control of any enemy's body. While this spell and its predecessor discard a soul from a host human, it was replaced by the dark gift Charm which only took possession of the host's mind.

- Lightning: Kain can shoot lightning from his hands, destroying all in its path.

- Incapacitate: Allows Kain to freeze an enemy in place, to deliver the killing blow.

- Repel: Creates a forcefield around Kain that repels all physical attacks and projectiles.

- Spirit Death: An energy projectile that destroys the enemy's soul once it connects.

- Immolate: A form of pyrokinesis where Kain lifts the target with his mind and combusts them.

Other: This covers Kain from Legacy of Kain: Defiance, along with a bit of powerscaling from the other five games. Not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Tenchi Universe movies. Also, his Blood Omen 1 abilities are likely to have been lost after his defeat at the hands of the Sarafan Lord since he is stated to have been weakened when he woke up from his several hundred-year long coma. The fact that he can only access his mist powers during the beginning of Blood Omen 2 supports this.
