Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level, likely Solar System level (Far stronger than Larcade, effortlessly blocked an attack from Laxus. Should be comparable to Human Form Irene) | Large Planet level, likely Solar System level (Stated to be the strongest member of the Spriggan 12. Effortlessly curbstomped Jellal and the Oracion Seis)
Speed: Relativistic (Far faster than Larcade and Dimaria, Comparable to Human Form Irene) | FTL (Faster than Dragon Form Irene
Lifting Strength: Class T (Far stronger than Fire Dragon King Mode Natsu) | Class T (Far stronger than before)
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level, likely Solar System level | Large Planet level, likely Solar System level
Durability: Multi-Continent level, likely Solar System level | Large Planet level, likely Solar System level (More durable than before. Took minimal damage from Gildarts's Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Absolute Heaven)
Stamina: Superhuman (Can fight for long periods of time despite sustaining severe injuries)
Range: Thousands of Kilometers (His Ars Magia would've destroyed all of Fiore)
Standard Equipment: His staff
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (An even as an infant he was able to remember Precht abandoning him, learnt about the nature of birth from his own memories and discover who his mother and father were. August has lived a longer life than most, in which he came to accumulate vast wisdoms and acquire every type of Caster-Type Magic. Is confirmed to be the smartest member of the Spriggan 12, placing him above Irene Belserion.)
Weaknesses: August cannot copy Holder-Type Magic, Slow Magic and Reflector work in limited areas of effect. Sound Magic will make August susceptible to loud sounds. Since childhood, August has been longing for parental love, especially from his mother, Mavis. Her presence alone could make August cease his will to fight.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Copy: August is lauded as the "Wizard King" due to this particular kind of Magic, which he can notably use instantaneously; with it, August can copy, master, and then nullify an opponent's Magic after having given it witness. However, he is unable to copy Holder Magic as one cannot use Holder Magic without physically manipulating the required tools. It has been stated that August has learned and acquired every Magic in the world, making the amount of possible different Magics he can use countless.
- Fire Magic: August can summon forth a gargantuan amount of heat energy around his being that surges up to incalculable heights at extreme speeds in the form of a pillar, such that it can be felt and clearly seen kilometers away, tearing away and, as hinted by the Magic King himself, dissolving into oblivion everything so unfortunate as to lie within the immediate range of effect. Even Natsu, a mighty Fire Dragon Slayer, couldn't entirely negate this attack.
- Sleep Magic: He was able to easily put Brandish to sleep in a moment with a little wave of his hand.
- Bullet Magic: August produces ballistic projectiles of Magical energy out of his hands to launch at foes.
- Sound Magic: August can hear a person's very soul, allowing him to tell what they are going to do next, and allows him to hear their thoughts. With it, August can foresee all of the attacks performed against him and react accordingly, countering them effortlessly.
- Slow Magic: August can use this time-affecting magic, changing how its targets perceive time. This kind of Magic makes August formidable at melee and short-range, allowing him to evade most attacks performed against him.
- Reflector: Reflector gives August the ability to reflect, distort and twist all manner of objects, save for living things, such as human beings. August is extremely adept at this Magic, easily reflecting Macbeth's Spiral Pain.
- Crush: After being broken into pieces from Gildarts Clive as he used this Magic on him, August was shown to be able to not only reform himself but also direct his body in the same ordinate amount of pieces from the use of this Magic.
- Sink Magic: August waves his hand and his opponent starts sinking into the ground.
- Wind Magic: August can shoot a blade of wind that shreds his opponent apart.
- Blast Magic: August uses this magic to create multiple explosions.
- Beam Magic: August raises his hand and fires a bunch of energy beams at his opponent.
- Binding Magic: August stabs his opponent with his staff and spreads black tentacles from it to bind his opponent's body.
Ultimate Magic Form: August can assume a form that greatly increases his power. His skin darkens to red and his hair flares upwards wildly, his main hair, beard, and eyebrows more so than his mustache. On his forehead emerges a thick, golden circle, flanked by three thin, gold-colored lines to its left and right, which diverge slightly before going down under his eyebrows to reach his eyes' top edges, and from their bottom, go further down to his jawline, over his neck, and diagonally across his pectorals to reach his arms, then stretching across the front of both his arms, presumably connecting with those mentioned above, normally dark-colored tattoo at least on his left arm, becoming gold in color.
Ars Magia: An Ancient Spell August possesses that, with the massive Magic Power he was born with, has the power to destroy an entire country at least the size of Fiore. By using his body as a catalyst, his Magic Power melts and destroys the environment, breaking down any inorganic substance into pieces while also evaporating the blood inside living beings. This Magic is also potent enough to disable the use of other Magics during its casting; however, if he so chooses, August can cease his casting of the Magic, but his body remains destroyed.
Note: While August has not shown usage of every ability in the verse, he should be able to use most, if not all of the Non-Holder Type Magic abilities within the verse and be able to use them at any time, as it has been stated that he has learned and acquired every Magic in the world.
