Powers and Skills[]
Standard powers[]
- Siphoning: As a witch born with no inherent mystical energy but rather the rare and unique ability to absorb nearly all forms of magic from external sources and temporarily store it within her empty battery. As a result of this ability, she is capable of unraveling the most sophisticated of spells and siphon the magic of enchanted objects as well as the magic from supernatural beings such as other witches, vampires, werewolves, doppelgängers, etc. This also extends to a supernatural being's body fluids, such as the blood of a witch, vampire or doppelgänger, or a werewolf's venom. Josie's siphoning is not just limited to her hands but possibly her whole body as she has shown to absorb magic while kissing or through her feet on the Salvatore ground (via the protection spells).
- Witchcraft (via absorption): After having absorbed magic, she has the powerful ability to cast spells that allows her to affect reality and manipulate Nature. However, the amount of power she has absorbed is finite and will eventually need to be replenished since it does not regenerate naturally overtime, though the frequency of which depends on the amount and strength of the magic she previously absorbed. Josie can access numerous magical powers without needing an incantation such as;
- Telekinesis: She has the ability to mentally influence both objects and people as well as generate concussive force through gestures without needing an incantation. While in the womb, she would fling a scapel away during a attempted c-section before messing up the surgery room. As a child, Josie would levitate crayons without meaning to. As a young adult, Josie's telekinetic potency as well as control has increased with examples such as; controlling a chess board, flip the cover of multiple books over, make lights explode thereby sparking without meaning to, and etc.
- Channeling: While she has magic in her system, Josie can boost whatever power she has absorbed by channelling the energy of celestial objects such as the sun, moon, the elements. She can also channel another witch or her own emotions. Josie can furthermore harness rare events like Eclipses, meteor showers, a comet, Planetary Conjunctions, Auroras, or a Supernova.
- Pain Infliction: After having absorbed magic from an external source, she has the standard witch ability to inflict excruciating migraines or aneurysms onto her targets. By clenching her fist close, she performed her most powerful seen instance of this which was strong enough to disable four werewolves in human form.
- Pyrokinesis: After having absorbed magic from an external source, Josie is capable of generating and manipulating fire in any form except hellfire. Fire is associated with strong emotions such as passion, anger, and rage.
- Witchcraft (via absorption): After having absorbed magic, she has the powerful ability to cast spells that allows her to affect reality and manipulate Nature. However, the amount of power she has absorbed is finite and will eventually need to be replenished since it does not regenerate naturally overtime, though the frequency of which depends on the amount and strength of the magic she previously absorbed. Josie can access numerous magical powers without needing an incantation such as;
- Extrasensory Perception: Josie is capable of sensing, feeling, and even tasting magic within her vicinity with it sending a type of echo outward toward her.
Dark Josie Powers[]
- Advanced Siphoning: Liker her base form, as a witch born with no inherent mystical energy she rather has the rare and unique ability to absorb nearly all forms of magic from external sources and temporarily store it within her battery. As a result of this ability, she is capable of unraveling the most sophisticated of spells and siphon the magic of enchanted objects as well as the magic from supernatural beings such as other witches, vampires, werewolves, doppelgängers, etc. This also extends to a supernatural being's body fluids, such as the blood of a witch, vampire or doppelgänger, or a werewolf's venom. Josie's siphoning is not just limited to her hands but possibly her whole body as she has shown to absorb magic while kissing or through her feet on the Salvatore ground (via the protection spells). While consumed with dark magic, she could siphon more quantities of magic while experiencing less side effects and could siphon offensive spells used against her even lightning spells and was therefore immune to simple sleep spells.
- Dark magic: Consumed by dark magic, she elevated to a higher level of witchcraft becoming a extremely powerful witch capable of holding her own against Hope Mikaelson and who, thanks to the colossal level of energy inside her, could even replenish her power over time like no other siphoner. During this time, it was assumed she was one of the most powerful witches in the western hemisphere capable of doing feats seen as near impossible such as forcing a vampire's humanity on (though not an original), destroy a prison world though a tandem effort with her siphoner nature allowing her to make holes in its reality, subconsciously rewrite the rules/laws of an advanced Chambre de Chasse powered by the collective minds of Hope, Lizzie, Josie herself, Emma Tig, Rafael, and MG, and allegedly have enough power to raise Malivore himself who was born of a blood union between an ancient witch, vampire, and werewolf and was able to hold countless monsters within a void-like universe that exists inside of him. However, Josie was devoid of her humanity. This dark magic originally grew due to Josie absorbing the power from a Sword imbued with the energy of a demon's soul and then cultivating the residual energy by performing a number of ancient dark magic spells.
- Telekinesis: While in the prison world, Josie telekinetically summoned a book from a shelf. During her return to school, she threw open the double door to make a dramatic entrance, followed by levitating herself down over the stairs in a single bound. Later as the day progressed, Josie snapped her fingers and revealed a banner. Similar to Freya Mikaelson's signature move, Josie snapped Alyssa's neck, killing her instantly, with a flick of her wrist. Dark Josie also used his ability in a manner similar to body puppetry specifically against the Necromancer, taking complete physical control over his body — forcing him to stand straight, unable to move, with a snap of her fingers.

It releases either a wave or stream of dark energy with intermixed hues of violet magic. The incantation of which is; “Harae-tamai Kioku. Yomigaerashi-tamae!”.
