Umbrakinesis: He wields control over darkness and shadows, allowing him to manipulate and shape them to his will. He can create solid constructs, control the movements of shadows, and envelop enemies in suffocating darkness.
Fear Manipulation: Elostus can amplify fear in others, tapping into their deepest anxieties and nightmares. He uses this power to weaken his opponents mentally, rendering them more susceptible to his influence.
Dimensional Travel: He can traverse between dimensions and realms, enabling him to move between the mortal world and other planes of existence. This power allows him to appear and disappear seemingly at will.
Mind Control: Elostus possesses the ability to exert control over the minds of weaker-willed individuals. He can influence their thoughts, actions, and memories, turning them into loyal servants.
Immortality: As a deity, Elostus is immortal and does not age. He cannot be killed by conventional means and can endure severe injuries that would be fatal to mortals.
Telepathy: He can establish telepathic connections with individuals, allowing for silent communication and the probing of their thoughts.

Weaknesses:
Light: Elostus is vulnerable to intense sources of light, especially pure, natural sunlight. It weakens his powers and causes him discomfort.
Holy Objects: Objects and symbols associated with divine or holy powers can repel and harm him. Crosses, religious relics, and blessed items have a detrimental effect on him.
True Name Vulnerability: If someone discovers Elostus's true name, they gain a measure of power over him and can potentially banish or control him.
Emotions: Elostus can be influenced by strong emotions, particularly negative ones. Intense fear, anger, or hatred can disrupt his concentration and weaken his control over his powers.
Seals and Wards: Sufficiently powerful magical seals or protective wards can block his access to certain areas or trap him temporarily.
Consecrated Ground: Stepping onto consecrated or holy ground weakens his abilities and may even force him to revert to his true form, making him more vulnerable.
Overconfidence: Elostus's sadistic nature and arrogance can lead him to underestimate opponents, making him susceptible to clever strategies or traps.
