“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”

- Aristotle

Bill Cipher, the Nightmare Realm’s Dream Demon from Gravity Falls.

Discord, Equestria’s Lord of Chaos from My Little Pony.

The laws of reality are something that we all must answer to. What we can do, how we do it, and what obstacles stand in the way of various accomplishments. But for beings like these two, there are no such laws dictating their deeds. Only their morals and the goals that they choose to follow.

The Dream Demon and the Chaos Lord both laugh in the face of physics and reality, but for being so similar, there are few beings so different. Both seek to change their worlds in a new era of weirdness and chaos, but to what ends will they bring it about? And what will become of the world after their battle? Will Bill Cipher succeed in liberating the world and ushering in a new era of partying, or does Discord truly wield the most powerful magic of all in friendship? The fabric of worlds will rip and tear when these two collide in a clash of chaos, but in the end, only one of these supernatural beings will have the powers needed to win this DEATH BATTLE!

What? Were you expecting some other blog? Well too bad! Things are gonna get WEIRD.

Before We Begin

This blog has had a very diverse group of opinions on these characters and how their powers should work - as such, every argument made for them will be included in this blog. This does not mean that everything is accepted as consensus - more details regarding their specific capabilities will be in the verdicts section.

Background

Bill Cipher

♫ "We'll meet again. Don't know where, don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!" ♫

Ancient prophecies and prehistoric cave paintings tell the story of an all-powerful figure, one that can grant boons as easily as he can raze civilizations. They say he watched his home dimension burn to ashes, by his own hand, no less. They say he’s a muse, willing to share information on those that seek him out, and choosing one brilliant mind every century to inspire.

But to Stanford Pines, genius inventor and paranormal investigator of Gravity Falls, Bill Cipher was nothing but a true demon. But it wasn't always like this, Stanford once called Bill a friend making a deal where as Stan slept Bill would take over his body and continue his work However, Bill quickly overstepped and used his control for more nefarious purposes. Bill tried to trick Stan into creating a portal to The Nightmare Realm which would let its beast ravage earth in an armageddon of weirdness. A Weirdmageddon if you will. Stanford managed to stop the portal after finding out Bill tricked him. Bill was cut off for now but if the gate were to reopen and a rift was broken he could make his plan come to life and cause the end of our world.

Many years after these events Stanford would be sent through the portal, his brother Stanley would take over his base of operations in Gravity Falls Oregon, turning it into a tourist trap followed by Ford's great grandchildren coming to stay with Stanley for a summer. Overtime Dipper and Mable Pines (Ford's grandchildren) would uncover the mysteries of Ford's work and gather the journals in which he held said work. Many parties would fight over these journals, one of them being Gideon Gleeful who used one of Ford's journals to summon Bill back into our world as a spiritual form. Upon his return Bill would cause chaos to the Pines family by trying to mess with Stanley's mind and steal the body of Dipper none of them being a success. This was until Stanley obtained all 3 journals and fired up the portal once more. This brought Stanford back to our reality, but it also gave Bill the ability to complete his plan again and bring the Nightmare Realm to ours.

Stanford would try his hardest to create defenses against Bill and prepare for his invasion if Bill were to complete his plan as the rift that held Bill's army off became unstable and started to crack. Around this time summer was coming to a close and Mabel was beginning to feel like she would never see her brother again as he was just given an apprenticeship under Stanford. In a panic Mabel grabbed the backpack that held the rift instead of her own. This would go horribly as Bill (Who has taken control over the mind of time traveling agent Blendin Blandin) would trick Mable into giving him the rift which Bill shattered. Upon shattering this would allow Bill to gain a physical form and summon his Nightmare army to "party" and wreak havoc, chaos and weirdness on earth.

Once Bill gained his physical form he trapped Mabel in a dream world, transformed the town of Gravity Falls into a nightmarish version of itself and captured most of its residence including Stanford. He even killed the intergalactic Time Police. All who remained in Gravity Falls formed a rebellion to fight Bill but that did very little to stop Bill only slowing him down slightly. The only thing that was able to hold Bill back was Gravity Falls natural law of weirdness magnetism. The only way Bill could break this barrier would be getting the information on how to break it from Ford. Eventually Bill was finally able to convince Stanford to give up the way to escape after threatening harm to his family but all of this was a trick. During the events of Weirdmageddon Ford made up with his brother Stanley and the two swapped clothing trapping Bill in the empty headed Stanley's mind. Bill, realizing it was too late to escape, begged Stanley to make a deal with him but Stanley denied as Ford used a memory eraser gun on Stanley to erase his memories along with Bill.

In the end Bill was defeated and the town was set back to normal but nothing could truly ever be the same after experiencing Bill's chaos. Bill brought the entire town to its knees and if it wasn't for the crafty Pines family he could have ended the world as we know it spreading insanity and weirdness around the world as its three sided god and who knows, Stanley's memories returned, why couldn't Bill?

Discord

(“I’m not afraid of you anymore! You will turn everyone back the way they were before you came back! These ponies are my true friends.”)

Equestria. It is the land of magic. Friendship. Harmony. The righteous will fight to defend their land, and the evils who seek all magic will surely be defeated by the magic of friendship. Many great heroes have risen up to defend all that is good in the world, from the Princess of the Sun, Celestia, the legendary Twilight Sparkle, or new defenders like the Alicorn Sunny Starscout. But there are those who were once twisted and dark that have also seen the light, turning for the better and joining the ranks of Equestria’s allies. And of them all, few are as legendary and noteworthy as the Lord of Chaos, Discord.

Discord is essentially an enemy of order, not inherently evil. But his chaotic and mischievous ways were a problem for the peaceful denizens of Equestria. This was made even worse when Discord was manipulated by another powerful force. Cosmos, the Lord of Malice. Cosmos unleashed havoc on Equestria and many other universes across reality, with Discord aiding her in his own playful way. But his morals were stronger than Cosmos realized, and she crossed a line when she began trying to kill innocents. Rescuing those endangered by her deeds, Discord betrayed Cosmos and alerted the two mightiest ponies in Equestria to her presence. The Royal Sisters, Celestia and Luna. Cosmos was banished for a long time, and to prevent further pain or the risk of a fool attempting to bring her back, Discord took blame for her crimes. Eventually, he would clash with Celestia and Luna once more, and they would be ready. Wielding the all-powerful Elements of Harmony, Discord was defeated, and turned to stone for a thousand years.

Over time, Discord was largely forgotten. Eventually, Celestia stood as the last of the ancient legends to rule over Equestria, raising a new generation of heroes to wield the Elements of Harmony. Led by Celestia’s own pupil Twilight Sparkle, the Elements of Harmony would gain new bearers. And just in time, for Discord would soon escape his stone confinements at long last to unleash chaos upon all life once again. But try as he might, even when he managed to break the bearers of the Elements apart and crush their friendships, it was all for naught. Celestia had thought ahead, and Twilight Sparkle succeeded in righting his wrongs. Discord was defeated, and returned to his stone prison by the magic of friendship.

But this time, it was not his end.

Not too long after, Celestia opted to take a chance and give Discord a shot at redemption, like her beloved sister Luna had succeeded in. To do so, she selected the bearer of the Element of Kindness to try and bring Discord around to good, the pegasus Fluttershy. Despite some initial difficulties, Fluttershy succeeded. Discord and Fluttershy formed a genuine friendship. The ponies of Equestria no longer had to fear Discord’s chaos, and Discord no longer had to fear the Elements being used on him.

For a time though, there were still difficulties. Discord had some insecurities over friendship with his old enemies, and his diminished ability to make chaos. As such, he would ultimately betray his friends for the evil Lord Tirek, aiding him in taking the magic of Equestria. But Tirek betrayed him in turn, stealing his Chaos Magic and taking him prisoner. In that instance, he saw who his true friends truly were, as Twilight Sparkle sacrificed her own magic to set him free. Following that, Discord would give Twilight the last key she needed to defeat Tirek, making up for his misdeed, and he would remain an ally of harmony forever after that.

Discord would still have his ups and downs, occasionally getting a bit too mischievous for his own good and making playful havoc. But he also more than proved his worth as a reformed being. He played a large role in saving Equestria’s rulers and the Element bearers from the Changeling Queen Chrysalis, alongside fellow reformed villains Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon, and Thorax. He even did battle against Cosmos one last time when she returned to Equestria and stole the power of the Alicorns. This time he defeated her for good, permanently destroying her power and locking her away on the moon. And when the time came, he was instrumental in Twilight Sparkle’s final battle against her enemies, and convincing her she was ready to rule Equestria. Together with Celestia and Luna, he accomplished the final defeat of the villains, turning Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow to stone in their last judgment.

Ultimately, Discord proved to be the hero Celestia thought he could be. He was instrumental to saving Equestria many times, and a good friend to the ponies he came to care for. His bond with Fluttershy grew to be quite strong, and he was always there to protect her in a time of need. Equestria turned out to be a safer and happier place with Discord on their side, and he finally had the peaceful and happy life that he had once long ago. It is a testament to the might of the magic of friendship, for harmony cannot be overcome, and the Lord of Chaos stands always ready to defend it and the ponies who live in the magical world of Equestria.

Abilities

Bill Cipher

Dream Demon / Flatlander Physiology

Bill hails from a two-dimensional universe, meaning that he exists without any sort of depth. He makes up for this by having the innate ability to invade the dreams of others through contracts, projecting himself into unconscious minds. It’s only after he obtains physical form via the rift’s destruction that he sheds this dimensional restriction, becoming fully three-dimensional and taking over the town.

Reality Warping

Famous for changing reality to whatever he pleases, he finds great pleasure in his own twisted form of fun and entertainment commonly referring to himself as a “master of chaos”.

Time Manipulation / Time Travel

The dream demon has proven himself to be capable of manipulating the flow of time in a manner of different ways. He can slow, stop, reverse, and nullify it, all of which can be done as simply as waving one’s hand. In addition, he’s also killed the Time Baby, a representation of time from the year 207̃012, giving him control over “time itself,” in his own words.

Along with manipulating time, Bill knows the ins and outs of time travel after spending some time in the head of time agent Blendin Blandin. Since he was able to appear to Blendin in the far future before going back in time to trick Mabel into breaking the rift, it’s clear that he is somewhat exempt from the flow of time as a whole, able to pop in and out of time at certain points.

Shapeshifting

Bill is capable of transforming into any form he pleases, particularly enjoys turning into his opponents greatest fear.

Space / Gravity Manipulation

“When gravity falls, and earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye.”

Bill can teleport and create any object he so pleases, even capable of shifting gravity just by tipping his hat. He claims in Weirdmageddon Part 3, that he has an overall control over space.

Transmutation / Petrification

One of Bill’s most frequent abilities; he’s capable of turning living beings such as Ford into gold and citizens into stone, whether it be with an energy blast or a single gesture. His weirdness waves are also capable of turning Soos’ grandma into a chair, several Gravity Falls residents into tapestries, and many other odd transformations.

Telekinesis

Bill is capable of lifting objects and people with a thought. He’s telekinetically choked both Ford and Stan, lifted the Journals with a thought, and lifted his castle upon gaining his physical form.

Telepathy / Mind Manipulation

Bill has the ability to manipulate minds in all sorts of ways, he’s capable of reading minds, entering dreams to watch peoples dreams as if he was there, claims to be able to destroy memories, and even capable of turning people insane with his bubbles of pure madness. He was also able to completely shut down the minds of Wendy, who was able to resist going insane from one of the weirdness bubbles, and McGucket, who is completely immune to the mind altering effects of the memory gun.

Duplication

Bill can duplicate clones of himself with seemingly no limit. He did this when entering Ford’s dreams, and also did so in his fight against the Shacktron.

Phasing / Intangibility

Bill has shown the ability to phase or become intangible such as phasing through a ceiling to talk to Dipper, or phasing himself and a piano through the floor to visit Ford.

Illusion Manipulation

Bill was able to create and trap Mabel in Mabeland, filled with illusions made to Mabel’s liking. Mabel was only able to dispel said illusions after reconciling with Dipper.

Precognition

Iconic for his predictions and fortune telling, he has predicted extremely specific events such as the exact age Stanford Pines would be when he had a heart attack, as well as being able to predict events as specific as exact dates of people's deaths. He also was able to predict Dipper's exact manner of screaming seconds after, and can see a kaleidoscope of temporal probability with fluctuating range, where he can see infinite alterations of the future within infinite dimensions.

Size Manipulation

Bill has displayed the ability to shift his size casually, he commonly uses this ability to increase his size and strength. He can even shift specific parts of his body such as his fist. He can also manipulate the size of others growing Gompers and the Henchmaniacs in size at his command.

Possession

“EENIE, MEENIE, MINEY, YOU!”

Famously stole control of the body of Dipper Pines, he achieved this by tricking Dipper into a deal in which Dipper would give Bill “a puppet”. Dipper's consciousness was forcefully removed from his physical body leaving it free for Bill to control, Bill was knocked out of the body seemingly from exhaustion.

Regeneration

“AAH, MY EYE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TAKES TO REGENERATE THAT?!”

Even in his mindscape form, Bill was able to regenerate from things like having most of his soul being completely shattered, and is comparable to Dipper who can regenerate from a hole in his stomach. When Bill activates the rift, we see him being able to recreate his entire physical body, which means if it were to be destroyed, he can easily recreate it. He also partially regenerates after being blasted by the quantum destabilizer, which was stated by Ford to be able to “blast someone into nonexistence”. And even after suffering complete erasure in the mindscape in the finale of Gravity Falls, various materials heavily imply he was able to return.

Social Influencing

Bill usually uses this skill in combination with his deals. Bill has smooth talked Ford into becoming his muse, striking a deal for his mind. Bill was able to trick Dipper into allowing Bill to take over his body under the guise he just wanted a puppet from Mabel's puppet show. While using Blendin Blandin's body Bill tricked Mable into giving him the rift that would let him cause Weirdmageddon.

Longevity

When Bill first speaks to the citizens of Gravity Falls, he mentions how he’s been living in the nightmare realm for a trillion years, waiting for a dimension to truly call home. Showing that he can live for a long amount of time.

Flight / Levitation

Bill is almost always levitating and when he is describing his plan for the universe he is shown flying through space at incredible speeds.

Dream Manipulation / Nightmare Inducement

Bill has been shown to consistently be able to manipulate dreams in a variety of ways fitting his dream demon status. He can give people nightmares, appear in dreams, and alter them as he pleases. Bill is also able to enter people's Mindscapes and Dreamscapes which he can effect and see into with examples like Stan. Bill can also trap people in dreams like he did with Mabel, trapping her in a dream bubble which he controlled.

Life Manipulation

Bill's can influence life-force in many ways. The most is via his "Weirdness Waves" which have been shown to turn inanimate objects into living organisms. Bill is also able to mess with and deconstruct the biological components of living organisms.

Absorption

Bill was able to absorb Mabel and spit her back out when she tried tackling him.

Energy Projection

Bill has been shown to be able to fire lasers from his fingertips and eye. He once used this to fire at Ford and Dipper inside of a tower destroying the top of it.

Weather Manipulation

Bill can create miniaturized clouds that shoot out lightning. He can also utilize electricity as a form of an offensive attack, such as when he tortured Ford in his pyramid.

Element Manipulation

Bill has shown control over multiple elements. Bill has been shown to use fire when he burned all three of Ford's journals with a snap of a finger. As mentioned before, he can also zap his opponents with electricity.

Matter Manipulation

In Weirdmageddon Part 3, Bill not only states he can control matter but he even shows it in the same scene. He also threatens to dissemble Dipper and Mabel’s molecules.

Madness Manipulation

Bill can conjure "Bubbles of Pure Madness" or Weirdness Bubbles. These bubbles that cause anyone who sees inside of them to go insane. Bill's real name also can cause people to go mad and even evaporate into dust upon hearing it. Additionally, if one were to see Bill’s exoskeleton, they’d be driven to madness and permanently set out to erase what they’ve seen. Fiddleford McGucket caught a glimpse of Bill’s exoskeleton when he took it off to “feed”, and lost a part of his sanity due to that.

Sleep Inducement

Bill was able to put Mabel to sleep after she unintentionally freed him while he was possessing Blendin with just a snap of his fingers.

Resurrection

Bill has some capacity to ‘survive’ even being erased as an idea. Such survival relies on the intercession of the ‘ancient power’ of the Axolotl; as it is said, “If he wants to shirk the blame, he’ll have to invoke my name. One way to absolve his crime, a different form, a different time.” This is technically supported by the fact that in the Gravity Falls DVD set, Bill Cipher appears as an Easter Egg, saying his punishment was actually being transported into that set (with that being the ‘different form’ and the ‘different time’) and having to relive every episode of the show for eternity. Bill specifically notes that he should be able to escape this punishment if someone watching the set takes an oath to him, possibly allowing him to come back eventually.

BFR

Bill is able to send people into dream bubbles. These small pocket dimensions are able to be controlled by Bill as he sees fit or to accommodate the person and their wildest dreams (Or worst nightmares). Bill can lock people there so they don’t escape; a strong mental fortitude however, can help dispel the temptations provided by these bubbles.

Memory Manipulation

Shown in the physical edition of Journal 3, Bill was able to remove a word out of Ford's memory. The word Bill removed was "Burden" which Bill then replaced with "Sea Otter" in Ford's mind. Bill has also described himself eating dreams and how it’s "fun" to him.

Portal Creation / Dimensional Travel

Bill is shown to be capable of creating portals to exit his pyramid at a moment’s notice, and through his existence in the Mindscape and Nightmare Realm, should be able to access other dimensions at his own leisure.

Power Bestowal

Bill is shown on numerous occasions to be capable of granting others cosmic power. He offers to grant Ford power that would allow him to eclipse a galaxy and grants his Henchmaniacs a power and size boost to fight the Shacktron. He also told Stanley that he could give him infinite power.

Biological Manipulation

“Oh, wow, that’s a great offer! How about instead I shuffle the functions of every hole in your face?”

Bill has changed the biological structure of others and himself. A famous example is when Bill swapped around every hole in the body of Preston Northwest. Another example would be him gaining a physical form which would require him to change his biology to accommodate for this.

Forcefield Creation

Bill has shown himself to be able to create a small field around himself to defend against physical attacks. This forcefield repels people away from Bill as shown when Dipper went to punch Bill before getting pushed away.

Paralysis

McGucket was paralyzed in fear and madness by one glance into the Nightmare Realm. Bill himself could send or show his opponents this realm and can likely recreate the effect himself with his bubbles of pure madness.

Soul Manipulation/Non physical interaction

Bill is able to rip people's souls out of their body. This is most notably seen when he forced Dipper to be a floating soul after making a deal to steal his body. While it’s speculated that Bill can only do such a thing with his deals, the deals have never offered Bill an ability he hasn’t already shown access to in the past. In addition to this, he has shown to be able to affect the souls of Dipper, Mabel and Soos in the mindscape, and was nearly going to kill them.

Law Manipulation

Bill states that when he’s escaped from Gravity Falls, he’ll remove all restrictions and all laws, which is supported with the nightmare realm, a place he resides in, being lawless in nature. More information about the statement here.

Causality Manipulation

While talking about the havoc he’d spread if he was able to control reality to his whim, Bill questions the idea of cause preceding effect, suggesting he can alter that concept and manipulate causality itself. Though it’s unknown to what extent Bill could do this, he does also question other effects such as the idea of time only moving forward, which we know is referring to his general manipulation of time.

Quantum Manipulation

Bill exists within a state of quantum uncertainty and superposition, similar to the idea of Schrödinger’s cat, which means that everything that can be attributed to his being can also be negated to his being. Such superposition exists within a kaleidoscope of temporal probability, where there are an infinite amount of versions of himself answering questions with infinite variations.

Power Nullification

When in the mindscape, Bill was able to turn the entire battlefield into a white field, seemingly taking away everyone’s powers, with Mabel’s cat hands being gone and Dipper no longer being able to use his powers.

Power Amplification

Achieving Weirdmageddon proved to be incredibly beneficial to Bill Cipher; considering Ford states that as Bill’s world spills into the real world, his powers grow stronger by the minute.

Creation

Bill can create almost anything from his twisted imagination. It can range from something as small as a head that is always screaming to a galaxy based on what Bill said to Stanley in his last moments.

The Mindscape & The Nightmare Realm

In order to access our universe from the Nightmare Realm, Bill is able to transport himself into a different dimension called the mindscape, which is an astral and cognitive plane of existence. Bill can exit and enter the Mindscape with his soul whenever he wants, and in doing so he can also enter people's minds or even affect their very souls.

Existence Erasure

While in the Mindscape, Bill could erase the portal that Dipper and co. were creating to banish him. He also turned the entire surrounding environment into an empty white void. Additionally; Mabel “erased” her Mabel Clones upon reconciling with Dipper while in Mabelland, which was only possible via the powers afforded by Bill.

Plot Manipulation(?)

Bill has shown several instances that suggest he has some form of awareness of the plot. During Weirdmageddon, he altered the intro of Gravity Falls seen by the viewer to contain his presence within it, and portray himself as the creator of the show. He also possessed the actual author, Alex Hirsch, during the Reddit AMA, in order to answer questions. This is supported by other cosmic beings such as the Time Baby, being portrayed as capable of holding Alex hostage and taking control over his actions and responses.

Discord

Draconequus Physiology

(Image credits to ultimatum323)

As a draconequus, Discord is made up of an abundance of different animal parts. Due to this amalgamation of parts, Discord has a variety of unique abilities. For example, his ears burn when ponies talk about him.

Being part pegasus, bat, and eagle, he possesses the natural ability to interact with the weather, whether that be pushing around or destroying clouds, producing precipitation by bouncing on or striking clouds, producing lightning by striking clouds, or even just creating cyclones or breezes by flapping his wings.

His body also possesses its own self-autonomy thanks to his chaotic nature, allowing each piece to act on its own accord. His tail is shown to be prehensile, even using the tail tuft as a third hand. His leg can detach itself and kick people on its own accord. After he changed himself to look like Celestia, his mane started acting like a cat. Even his paw digits can pop off and turn into miniature heads.

He’s also capable of eating just about anything, as he’s been seen drinking glass, as well as eating paper, Plunderseeds, and his tea glass. He’s even capable of drinking a water tower's worth of water.

Longevity

As a Chaos Lord, Discord has been around for an incredibly long time. He was friends with dinosaurs, lived among the minotaurs during Tirek’s youth, and lived well into the future of Generation 5 after everyone else disappeared. He’s stated he’s been around for eons, though this could be hyperbolic.

He’s also been referred to as immortal on several occasions, which is consistent with statements from other official media about other everpresent characters like Celestia and Opaline.

“Sparkle”

All living beings, and even just objects, possess a “Sparkle”, otherwise known as their aura or “vibe”, allowing those more attuned to it to sense things like one’s emotional states or whether or not they’re in pain. More absurdly, it can be used to determine factors such as one’s favorite smoothie flavor.

Chaos Magic

A powerful form of magic found exclusively within Chaos Lords, which provides complete control over reality to those tuned to using it. When wielded by any other creature, however, the magic is simply uncontrollable, producing random effects whenever magic of any other kind is used. It should be noted that magic is directly equivalent to one's life force.

This magic allows Discord to rearrange objects on the molecular level, and he can even manipulate energy, such as when he turned Sombra’s lasers into a variety of different objects. He’s also able to outright interact with intangible things such as magic.

As Discord has demonstrated repeatedly, his magic can be cast in a number of ways, whether that be snapping his finger, firing lasers or lightning as a conduit, or simply with a thought. Even large shockwaves can be used to manipulate the world around him. As noted in the official MLP Roleplaying Game, Discord can use his magic however he pleases, but chooses to be dramatic for the sake of showmanship.

He also has remarkable range with his magic, being able to draw glyphs in some far off cave, manipulate the sun and moon, and even reach across dimensions, allowing him to open doors prior to teleporting or teleport objects across dimensions.

Conceptual Embodiment + Manipulation
(Chaos + Order Manipulation)

There are numerous Chaos Lords across the multiverse, each of whom embody their own aspects of Chaos: Discord embodies Chaos and Disharmony, Cosmos embodies Malice, and Eris embodies Luck. Similarly, Accord embodies Order.

As such, there’s innumerable statements describing Discord as the “Spirit” or “Living Embodiment” of Chaos, as well as “Chaos Incarnate”. Similarly, other Chaos Lords are referred to as the “Actual Goddess” or “Personification” of their respective aspects. However, most notably of all is Accord, who refers to himself as the “Unifying Principle” of Order.

This is notable as Accord states that he resides within the hearts of those that desire Order, using that core desire to spread his very will and being to these individuals, creating a hivemind of himself. This same relation allowed Accord to manipulate the Elements of Harmony, turning their ability to restore Order against the users as well as using them to spread his influence to the rest of Equestria, taking control of every creature except Starlight, who’d managed to shield herself in time. Discord has somewhat demonstrated this as well, given he can speak through his chaotic creations.

Cosmos, similarly, heavily implies she has a connection to the malice found within every villain from Equestria’s past. She also mentions that Malice cannot be destroyed, which she says while threatening that she’ll regain her power, a threat she made good on when she returned in Gameloft’s Missing Wings and Maze-y Things event.

This ability to manipulate concepts is consistent with other minor examples Discord has demonstrated, given he can create plaid-flavored cookies and ice cream that tastes like sunlight, as well as create all new colors.

Due to this relation to Chaos, Discord can draw power from the chaos he creates as well as the chaos around him. It’s due to this he was able to ultimately break out of Celestia’s weakening Stone Sleep spell as well as regenerate from near-non existence (explained more in Regeneration).

Flight

Discord is naturally capable of flying, however his fun is greatly enhanced via his Chaos Magic, allowing him to simply float about freely, which is vastly his preferred method. He’s also capable of floating down with an umbrella Mary Poppins style. While his individual body parts can also float, his disembodied head is also capable of flying by flapping his ears.

Enhanced Senses

Discord has consistently shown to possess a vast knowledge of the world around him, even when it doesn’t make sense for him to know such, such as when he was sealed away as a statue. He knows the exact locations of people he’s interested in, regardless of if they’re in hiding, is always listening for when people specifically call out for him (which is made all the easier as his ears burn when people talk about him), and even beyond that he always has an interest in eavesdropping on conversations from people he’s close to, looking for gossip or information he can take advantage of. He’s even capable of reading thought bubbles.

Besides that, he can perceive events happening several kilometers away, even when his direct line of sight is blocked, thanks to being able to zoom in his sight, he can sense when Fluttershy is in trouble, and he can sense magical imbalances, which allowed him to track Tirek stealing magic and also informed him of when the Princesses transferred their magic to Twilight.

It’s noted in the official MLP Roleplaying Game that Discord has Eyes and Ears Everywhere, allowing him to use his control over time and space to see and hear anything that’s ever been said, making it incredibly hard to sneak up on or deceive him. In Gameloft’s Crowns and Chaos event, Chrysalis, driven mad by Chaos Magic, was stuck staring into the abyss out of pure shock.

Disembodied Voice

Discord has a knack for being able to communicate anywhere he desires without the need to physically be there, using it to taunt his foes freely. He’s also capable of shouting loud enough for his voice to echo across all of Ponyville.

Teleportation / Portal Creation

Whether on the spot, via lightning, smoke, or smoke bombs, or via some other wacky build up, Discord can teleport freely across Equestria and even to other dimensions. In less animated media, he’s also capable of teleporting across dimensions by flipping pages and by passing over comic panel barriers. He can even pull on space-time itself like a window blind or shower curtain to warp. He’s also capable of teleporting into places he wouldn’t normally fit, cartoonishly appearing from behind people or objects, teleporting inside objects or people, from underneath hats, or teleporting in flat spaces, like behind a hung painting.

This teleportation isn’t limited to himself, however, as he can drag others around with him, swap places, or simply teleport them independently, as well as teleport objects even down to specific pages from books. He can ensnare people in rope while teleporting them. He even enchanted one of Starswirl’s libraries, causing it to teleport every time the wizard got close to finding its location. Discord’s noted that he’s capable of teleporting to specific people regardless of if he knows their location, and he can drag people out of hiding likely through this same method.

Discord can also create portals between dimensions, whether that be basic portals, opening holes underneath people, vortexes, simple rifts in space, or physically tearing open space via his claws. These can be opened in rapid succession, allowing a variety of creatures to travel through freely.

Interestingly, Discord’s been shown to even be capable of traveling beyond his own continuity, traveling to Macadam’s Old Oil House from Transformers Animated in order to be drinking buddies with Sideways.

BFR

Discord can forcefully eject people through portals either by gravity manipulation or by summoning chutes and ladders, trap people in a Ghostbusters Ghost Trap, or transport people in and out of pocket dimensions freely, with them only recognizing they’ve been summoned after they’re kicked out.

Reality Warping

Fitting for the zany Lord of Chaos, reality warping is his bread and butter. He could warp Canterlot’s castle maze, making it loop up mountains as well as hang down from the sky and sideways, turned Fluttershy's cottage into a full on mansion, and created two doors on the same wall of his living room that lead to different rooms despite overlapping space. He can stare down an envelope, causing it to tear open, stretch out and roll up a staircase, and squeeze a cage with his giant fist, popping the lid off and ejecting the prisoners.

He’s also capable of altering entire landscapes, creating random colors and patterns, turning an entire environment into crackers, cloth, and corn, creating a giant volcano and rerouting a train track to spiral up and drop into it, or even melting the sky and tearing it like paper. Princess Luna, while possessed by Discord’s Chaos Magic during Gameloft’s Crowns and Chaos event, created several new Chaos Moon Phases.

He’s also capable of reversing the condition of objects, repairing damaged stage lights, returning books and other objects to a shelf, restoring ice cream that had fallen into the dirt, unsplattering fruit, and even restoring the damage his pocket dimension had created while expanding.

Summoning / Creation

The most basic skill of any reality warper is the ability to produce things from thin air. Luckily for Discord, thin air, thick air, or no air at all pose no problem for him. He can summon anything that comes to mind, whether that be living objects, a massive golden throne, animated posters, whatever outfits he desires, trapdoors to underground caverns, or a lava-sucking vacuum. He can summon living ribbons, chains, spider webs, vines, or tentacles to restrain people as well as trap people in unbreakably elastic bubbles, balloons full of helium, large cages, or a giant stone Rook piece with Development Heck.

Similarly, summoning creatures such as Twittermites, Bugbears, or even an Ursa Major, summoning King Sombra from the Aether, summoning the entire Apple Family, or creating self-destructing clones of the Mane 6 are all well within his power, providing Discord with a wide variety of minions to create chaos. He even has a moving library filled to the brim with living paper, providing him an army of various origami minions as well as giant paper hands and dragons.

Spatial Manipulation

Discord is capable of physically interacting with the space around him, whether that be opening it like a door, tearing open holes in spacetime to create a portal to another dimension, or physically cracking space, pulling on space like a curtain. Similarly, he can transition worlds from day to night by folding it out like a blinder curtain.

Discord is also capable of creating Pocket Dimensions. These can vary in size from a single stadium to an entire universe in size without affecting the size of the outer bubble, though said bubble can be increased in size either intentionally or if Discord starts to get aggressive in his determination while altering the pocket dimension, tearing up the ground around it as it expands. Discord is also capable of altering whether or not people are allowed to enter the bubble.

Discord also created a dimension where everything was opposite, which caused Fluttershy to act the opposite of herself and inverted the colors of everything around them..

Gravity Manipulation

Whether manipulating entire landscapes or simply screwing with individual people or objects, playing with gravity has always been one of Discord’s favorite tricks. After all, it’s ever so boring to be limited by normal gravity, even if he can reinstate it whenever.

He can extend landscapes onto the sides or top of the screen, tear apart the landscape to make individual chunks of land float around freely, create rooms on different orientations, or simply make gravity optional for entire bodies of land. He can also create waterfalls that flow upside down, cause objects to fall upwards, allow fish to swim around in the air, fly around with floating objects, or force flying individuals downwards by gravity.

Existence Erasure

Discord is capable of erasing matter instantly, erasing both sentient and non-living entities. He can even do it on a wider scale, erasing small bodies of water or even an entire farm’s worth of snow. He even killed Fet Lockland, reducing the businesspony to mere vapors.

Time Travel

Discord has a knack for time travel, even taking others back with him in order to show events of the past. This also allows him to grab objects of importance from the past, such as when he stole the Elements of Harmony for a Scavenger Hunt. He also has a time machine, but it’s more for show than his sole means of time travel. On top of this, he’s demonstrated the capability to stop time altogether.

Causality Manipulation

Chaos Magic works as the antithesis to logic, allowing Discord to manipulate causality as he sees fit. Examples of this include taking bites out of an apple restoring chunks, glasses filling upside down, dishes dirtying by running them through water, growing a mane by cutting it, and impacting the ground resulting in a bunch of random monster parts bursting out. Discord’s most famous use, however, was when he caused Berry Punch’s sneeze to turn houses and trees into cardboard cutouts as well as cause them to fall over.

Probability Manipulation

Discord created the Mirror of Mayhem, a cursed mirror which spread severe bad luck to those that possessed it. Ships were sunk, Scuba Divers eaten, and ponies got maimed, pincushioned, and assaulted by bees. Even when the mirror granted a town an eternal need for Lightning Rod’s lighthouse, it came at the cost of boats occasionally crashing amongst the spiked rocks.

Law Manipulation

When creating his ultimate Scavenger Hunt, Discord teleported the Elements of Harmony across the multiverse, with the one condition that they could only return if their respective Mane 6 member retrieved the Element. It was only after he’d already done it that he realized the condition was so set in stone that even he couldn’t reverse it.

Possession

Discord can transfer himself, or even just part of his body, into objects to possess them. While his most common instance is with stained glass windows, freely flowing through them and other nearby windows as he pleases, he’s possessed a number of other objects, people, or animals.

Size Manipulation

Discord can freely manipulate his size to either grow to the size of houses or shrink down to the size of mice. He can also affect other entities, such as growing woodland creatures to giants.

Shapeshifting

Discord possesses the ability to freely transform his body. This can be full-body transformations, such as changing his color, turning himself into a group of butterflies, haybales, bubbles, an infant, large clouds, or floating signs, as well as partial transformations, such as dispersing his limbs, growing a second head, growing extra limbs, deflating himself like a balloon, or turning his head into a lightbulb. He can even turn himself into a Cybertronian.

Discord can also turn pre-existing objects into himself, such as appearing from the ground, appearing from a coat rack, turning a carrot into his tooth, turning a Plunderseed Vine into himself, or turning a giant mirror into his eye.

Elasticity

Discord’s body is incredibly elastic, thanks to his serpentine nature but especially due to his Chaos Magic. As such, he can stretch his limbs great distances, condense his body tightly before springing out in a sudden burst, as well as inflate his body for gags.

Regeneration / Resilience

Discord is capable of freely tearing apart his body, often doing so for gags or in combat. Examples of such include removing his head from his body, pulling his eyes from his head, tearing himself in half, splitting his head to avoid Tirek’s attack, shattering to small pieces, and even liquifying himself during a sneeze before regenerating his body from the cloud of mucus.

Discord was even capable of regenerating from near non-existence thanks to his connection to chaos. It should be noted that while fading away, Discord reached a point where he was not only incapable of interacting with the world around him but was also incapable of interacting with his own body. Considering Discord can interact with the world even when intangible or as a ghost, this would imply he recovered from a state worse than merely being reduced to his soul.

Healing

After transporting Spike and Big Mac out of Ogres and Oubliettes, Discord healed the wounds they had received.

Duplication

Discord can create a number of clones of himself, assisting in tasks or just being there to confuse everyone around him. These clones can take on slightly different personalities, though this rarely has a use outside of Discord talking to himself. Supposedly, according to one of his trading cards, Discord always leaves a clone of himself back in Chaosville.

Intangibility

Discord can phase through objects or outright turn into a ghost-like form.

Illusion Creation / Perception Manipulation

Discord is capable of creating illusions, whether that be creating impossibly large illusory spaces within small rooms, tricking individuals into perceiving objects as something grander, or creating fake visages of a variety of different events. He can even materialize in the reflections of several dozen ponies’ drinks.

Social Influencing / Mind Manipulation

Discord has been described as a smooth-talker, which is no joke. He is a master manipulator, capable of corrupting individuals by teasing their vulnerabilities, using any moment of hesitation to warp a person’s personality entirely, corrupting the individual into their opposite self. Once upon a time, he even used his talent with words to turn several of the inexperienced Elements of Harmony against their original Knights, waging a coup that devastated numerous societies.

Even when words don’t work, whether due to stubbornness or sheer, unwavering kindness, Discord can simply corrupt an individual with a single touch, via town-wide clouds of smoke or even without interacting with them directly at all.

Even beyond this basic corruption, Discord can make people act like animals, turn animals hyper aggressive (as well as calm the hyper aggressive), skip to the end of a person’s monologue by scratching out what they’re going to say, or outright enforce his will onto people by manipulating their internal desire for Chaos (or Order should he find himself as Accord again), taking full control of their very being and turning them into a hivemind of himself.

Puppeteering / Body Control

Fitting his nature as a puppeteer, which I’m not a fan of, Discord can puppet both people and objects, forcing them to do as he desires. Forcing things to dance seems to be one of his favorite options.

Sleep Inducement

With a snap of his fingers, Discord can put groups of people to sleep instantly.

Memory Alteration

Discord rewrote the memories of the Equestrian rulers, removing any memory of Cosmos and making it so they believed he was solely responsible for everything she instead did. It’s also been seen repeatedly that when Discord summons ponies to participate unwillingly in his games, they often don't remember what happened after.

Madness Inducement

Chaosville is dangerous, as any normal pony would be driven mad simply by existing within it for an extended period of time. Chaos Magic has a similar, stronger effect on its user. Even Pinkie Pie, who can out-crazy eldritch beings (who are noted as being brain-melting) and is repeatedly stated to be nigh-incorruptible, was quickly driven mad with power after being given near-full control of Discord’s Chaos Magic. Gameloft’s Crowns and Chaos event has Discord's Chaos Magic unintentionally take control over a dozen different characters, driving them mad with power. This even included characters that resist Madness Inducement, such as Princess Celestia and Queen Chrysalis.

Telekinesis

Discord is capable of moving objects around telekinetically, even when grabbing large groups of individuals at once.

Life Manipulation

Discord is a master at bringing mundane objects to life for the sole purpose of spreading chaos, whether that be balloons that bully people, fish saucers that spray people who make fish puns, Ginsing Tea that actually sings, or apples so dedicated to delivering riddles that they nearly destroy Ponyville. He can also create living weapons like flying daggers or suits of armor, as well as create monster houses or walls that try to eat people.

Plant Manipulation

Discord can freely manipulate plants, being able to grow them from nothing, change the color and flavor of fruits, grow spiky Everfree Vines from anything, and produce plants that grow any variety of everyday objects such as teapots, sports balls, and candy. He can pop corn cobs, grow tree roots or vines to restrain people, and even grew and moved around Canterlot’s castle maze, making it severely more maze-like. He should also compare to Cosmos, who had turned an herb garden into the Everfree Forest.

Biological Manipulation

Discord can manipulate the bodies of those around him, zipping mouths closed, sprouting wings from anything he desires, turning animals buff or outright monstrous, or even granting animals the ability to speak. He’s turned Spike into a Centaur, gave Big Mac a unicorn horn, and cast a glamor spell on the Mane 6 to mimic a summons from the Cutie Map.

He’s also quite familiar with removing body parts, whether that be something mundane like a pony’s mane or tail or something more severe like a pony’s wings or horn, literally severing their natural abilities. He’s also familiar with removing internal organs, such as a pony’s tongue.

Disease Manipulation

While pretending to be sick, Discord infected Applejack and Rarity with a real cold.

Power Bestowal

Discord can grant people new powers, whether that be by giving non-unicorns a horn, thus granting them magic, or simply outright granting new skills, such as when he turned the entire Apple Family into a clan of ninjas and gave the Twilicane magical girl powers.

Transmutation

Discord is a master of transforming the world around him.

He can turn ponies and animals into robots, turn trees into business ponies, turn couches into balloons, turn poured tea into a disco ball, turn Fluttershy's cottage into a spaceship, turn entire sidewalks into soap, turn a cauldron’s worth of pumpkin soup into flowers, turn a lake into a lake of milk, and so much more. He can trap ponies in playing cards, unravel castle towers like a ribbon, split the ends of a person’s clothes into snakes to restrain them, deconstruct a house into dust and reconstruct it as a pirate ship, or even cause others to unintentionally transmute the world around him, such as when he caused Berry Punch’s sneeze to turn nearby houses into cardboard cutouts. He’s even capable of transmuting non-physical things like chimney smoke or a pony’s magic.

He’s also capable of fusing objects together, whether that be creating living apples that can fuse together into a mutated, multi-legged kaiju, fusing a pony to the afterimages they leave behind to restrain their movement with a bungee cord, or giving Twilcane the power to merge the Mane 6 into a Megazord.

Stone Sleep

A powerful petrification spell Discord has grown very familiar with, considering it’s been used against him on multiple occasions. Discord assisted in using the spell to petrify Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow following their attempted takeover of Equestria. Gameloft’s Crowns and Chaos event backs up Discord being able to use this spell as it’s stated it was Discord’s spell that had petrified the trio.

While at first the spell seems to be a simple petrification spell, turning the target into a solid statue, it actually enforces a hibernation of sorts, putting the target to sleep during their imprisonment. This spell has been repeatedly demonstrated to work even on those that resist petrification, plus the spell actively limits the target’s powers, preventing escape even by the likes of Discord despite him being awake and aware the entire time.

Weather Manipulation

On top of a pegasus’ natural ability to manipulate the weather, Discord’s magic allows him a far greater control over the weather. He can create massive sentient or spiky clouds, creates plaid clouds that grow strawberries, or create massive blankets of his cotton candy, chocolate rain clouds, which have a number of magic properties of their own. He’s also capable of creating giant gusts of wind, which he can use to dry ponies off.

Elemental Manipulation

Discord is capable of manipulating a wide variety of elements

Fire: Discord can combust trees with sneezes, instantly cook various foods, produce flames in his hands, or simply engulf himself in flames outright.
Water: Discord can fire pressurized tea from teapots, blow bubbles from a pipe that can carry people away, shoot paint from his hands, or just create a giant torrent of water to flood a person’s house before draining it.
Ice: Discord can instantly freeze over an entire farm and the surrounding mountains as well as create a snow globe that produced a giant blizzard when it shattered.
Earth: Discord can morph the ground into a giant fist to uppercut enemies.
Lava: Discord is capable of summoning lava as he pleases, even producing a sun-sized balloon filled with lava monsters.
Electricity: Discord can cast electricity from his hands to cast spells, similar to a unicorn’s magic beam.
Light: Discord can create balls of light, generate blinding flashes from gemstones, fire lasers from his claw, or outright steal colors.
Smoke: Discord can create smoke out of nowhere.

Explosion Generation

Discord can cause objects to spontaneously explode, produce fireworks as he pleases, or outright self-destruct himself, turning into a blanket of smoke big enough to cover a hillside.

Sound Manipulation

Discord can cause an umbrella to meow when opened, add squeaks and creaks to non-broken floorboards, make ponies talk backwards or in various ciphers, and even attack with Bee Sharps.

Technology Manipulation

Discord manipulated the Cutie Map to give the Mane 6 a fake summons.

Fourth Wall Awareness

Discord is a master of breaking the fourth wall and using it as he pleases. He can pull objects from the edges of the screen, run along the edge of the screen, or push binoculars from one side of the screen to the other. Whether it be talking to the audience outright, narrating stories, arguing with the narrator, reading the current story’s script, writing captions or manipulating trading card text, Discord is keenly aware of his status as a fictional character.

He’s also very familiar with manipulating the edge of his media, whether that be bending, freezing, or melting comic panel borders, pulling up the background to hide objects in the tv static, traveling through parts of his world by flipping pages or crossing over panel barriers outright. He can even hang around outside the comic panels entirely, existing just outside a regular character’s comprehension where only other 4th Wall Aware characters can see him.

Plot Manipulation

Much like how Discord is keenly aware he’s fictional, he’s also familiar with manipulating the very plot of the world around him, ending a comic with the snap of his fingers, transitioning to the show’s intro with random objects, and even changing the entire world into a stereotypical manga, in which he changed the Apple Family into a clan of cosmically aware ninjas, stripped Twilight of her powers and made Twilicane a magical girl wand, turned Spike into a kaiju, and gave Twilicane the power to merge the Mane 6 into a Megazord. Of course, he changed everything back, though no one remembered what happened

Accord

Accord is Discord’s polar opposite, promoting Order and Sense as opposed to Chaos and Confusion. Accord possesses all of Discord’s memories and powers, but performs so in an Orderly manner rather than his former.

Though the first time Discord transformed into Accord took some time, Accord was able to instantly turn back into Discord, implying Discord should be able to do the same as the initial transformation was slow due to Discord’s hesitation and lack of experience with that kind of transformation.

The Mindscape

Mindscapes manifest as a pocket dimension, housing the individual’s consciousness, knowledge, personality, and more. The layout of each Mindscape is tailored to the individual of which it belongs, with Discord’s in particular being a disorganized, random mess of ideas, whereas Accord’s is a bland, gray office space, perfect for the master of Order.

Mindscapes can be accessed by individuals who’ve mastered specific spells, though they can also be entered by those who’ve mastered dream magic. Similarly, entering a Mindscape momentarily connects the traveler’s Mindscape to the original target’s, allowing travel freely between the now connected Mindscapes.

On top of possessing seemingly endless space, all Mindscapes house an infinitely long hallway, which splits off into an infinite number of possible choices and the futures that would result from those choices. These choices can then be visited while dreaming, blending elements of the past, present, and future in such a way that allows the individual to explore any hope, dream, or fear they may possess.

Discord’s mindscape in particular has the capability to completely nullify the magical and natural abilities of those within, preventing Unicorns from using their magic and even preventing winged creatures from flapping their wings altogether. This power nullification can seemingly even affect the likes of Discord and Accord, as neither demonstrate any form of flight or magic throughout Twilight and Luna’s visit, preferring to run down the group as a horde instead, although this could arguably be a result of Discord being too weak and Accord being too Orderly.

Resistances

Bill Cipher

Mind / Madness Manipulation

Bill can survive being in the Nightmare Realm without going insane. Bill has also likely seen himself without his exoskeleton (who hasn't) which, with just a peek at Bill without it, turned Fiddleford McGucket insane enough to where he had to erase his memories to forget the horrors he saw. The second McGucket was pulled out of the portal connected to the Nightmare realm he started speaking backwards and twitching while on the floor until he snapped out of it.

Transmutation

Bill is shown to be completely fine during his weirdness wave despite the fact his weirdness wave has been shown to transmute Gravity Falls and its residence. He has also turned into a statue and reverted back to his regular form with little issue. Bill's shape shifting capabilities may also be able to revert himself after being transmuted.

Power Nullification

The Shacktron's barrier has shown to completely take away and nullify the weirdness powers of other monsters - despite this, Bill has shown to be able to touch the barrier without having all of his power nullified.

Plot Manipulation

Bill Cipher has shown to be able to affect and act independently outside of his own shows medium, such as when he possessed Alex Hirsch - this means that he is unbound by whatever effects a narrative plot could put on him.

Cold Temperatures

Bill has been shown to be able to survive the cold vacuum of space without any problems.

BFR

Bill is unable to access dimensions normally through a physical form - however, he still possesses the ability to have his soul access the Mindscape anytime he wishes, which leads to and from the Nightmare Realm and any universe in the Gravity Falls multiverse, meaning he would be able to project his soul back to the universe if he needed to.

Discord

Bodily Mutilation / Pain

Discord constantly destroys his body for gags, being able to recover from it instantly and without hesitation. He does not, however, know if he could still regenerate after losing his magic, implying this resilience is purely due to his Chaos Magic.

Power Nullification

Twilight was learning a Failsafe spell to reverse things that go wrong at the start of The Return of Harmony, but it failed due to Twilight not being powerful enough at the time to match Discord’s reality warping. Similarly, Discord’s magic can still affect the Smooze, whose body is anti-magical in nature, able to stop spells by coating a unicorn's horn. He can also eat Plunderseeds, despite their vines having magic-altering and stealing properties.

Magical Seals

Discord’s magic can ignore magical seals put in place to protect objects, such as how he stole the Elements from Celestia’s throne room despite her placing a protective spell only she could break, can travel to and from the moon with ease despite it having a barrier that stops people from escaping, and was able to teleport Tirek and Cozy Glow out of Tartarus.

Mind Manipulation

Accord imbuing his own will into others protected those controlled individuals from having their minds manipulated by other spells.

Madness / Corruption

Discord is unfazed by the madness induced by both Chaosville and Chaos Magic, which could drive even Pinkie mad, who’s capable of out-crazying Eldritch Beings, after prolonged exposure. Similarly, Celestia was capable of resisting the Changeling Amulet’s corruption via sheer magical power, with Discord being far more powerful than she.

Fear Manipulation

Discord laughed off Fluttershy’s Stare, which is capable of scaring a wide variety of creatures into compliance, such as the Cockatrice, Changelings, and even Flutterbat herself.

Even walls crumble at the might of Fluttershy’s Stare. (It should be noted this game is not canon, but is still funny to mention)

Possession

Discord could not be possessed by Cosmos, despite interacting with her gemstones, though he admits he was still affected by it in some way.

Dream Entering / Manipulation

Discord actively stops Luna from accessing his dreams.

Sleep Inducement

Discord was unfazed by the Stone Sleep spell’s sleep inducement, remaining awake for the spell’s entire 1000 year duration. Discord is still capable of creating chaos while asleep.

Minor Information Analysis

When Discord disguises someone as himself through illusions, they appear exactly as him, even to those that can sense an individual’s energy.

Transmutation

Even when others transform him, Discord is capable of turning back to normal

Telekinesis

Discord was able to simply blow away Starlight's magic aura, removing her telekinetic hold on him.

Fire Manipulation

Discord sets himself on fire on a number of occasions without any sign of hurting himself. Even standing directly in lava leaves no burns.

Cold Temperatures

Discord can survive unfazed in the cold of space or in a blizzard-filled snow globe.

Probability, Causality, and Law Manipulation

Chaos works as the antithesis to logic, naturally ignoring anything that relies on logic to function. Simply existing within Chaosville, as an example, was able to nullify the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ Bad Luck Curse, which determines the worst possible thing that could happen and forces it to come true.

Time Manipulation (Acausality)

In My Little Pony, time auto-corrects to account for changes to the past. Discord, however, is immune to these changes due to his chaotic energy. Similarly, those within close proximity to Discord experience a much slower effect of this auto-correction, though he notes there is a chance they would eventually be rewound out of existence by the timeline.

Arsenal

Bill

The Interdimensional Rift

Given to Bill by Mabel, The rift is a byproduct of the Portal built by Ford. It was created when Stan reactivated the portal. The rift would allow Bill to enter the mortal realm with a physical form increasing his power. Ford had contained the rift for a time but when Mabel grabbed the wrong backpack Bill tricked her into giving him the rift. Bill then shattered the casing, opening up a portal to The Nightmare Dimension and allowing Bill to start Weirdmaggedon. Ford states that as long the rift is open Bill gains power every minute.This rift is expressly powered by Bill and the old portal he helped create so it should be fair game to give it to him.

Gun

This mf Bill be packing heat

Discord

Plunderseeds

A satchel of fast-growing, seemingly sentient vines that Discord planted 1000 years ago prior to being trapped in stone by Celestia and Luna. They were meant to drain the Tree of Harmony of its magic to aid in Discord’s escape but the Tree had been able to protect itself for far longer than he had expected.

The vines are extremely stretchy and snap back when tension is released, but can also simply retract back into the ground to avoid being attacked. They also emit magic-altering properties, corrupting magic to go wild against the user’s wishes, and are capable of stealing magic outright as seen when they kidnapped Celestia and Luna and weakened the Tree of Harmony.

These seeds can also grow facehugger-esque flowers which spray some kind of low-strength sleeping gas and are likely responsible as well for the spiked clouds that emerged from the Everfree Forest, which are extremely resilient and ensnare anyone that tries to fly through them, and can fire lightning at nearby targets.

Bow & Arrow

Discord’s chosen weapon as the legendary Captain Wuzz.

Invisipaint

(Omg it's SpongeBob 😯)

Discord possesses a substance known as Invisipaint, which he used to prank Celestia for an entire week. This paint, when applied to a person’s body, turns them entirely invisible.

Enchanted Music Box

A music box Discord created for Celestia as a present. The Music Box sprays sleeping gas which can instantly put individuals to sleep for a short time.

Enchanted Mirror

A mirror Discord created for Celestia as a present. Merely by looking into it, if the target so desires a day of relaxation, the mirror changes the target’s entire physical being into a nameless pony, sealing away their powers for 24 hours.

Color Tome

An ancient, powerful tome that Discord stole from Twilight’s library. This tome can create vortexes across entire ecosystems that produce a variety of dangerous obstacles, such as sharp crystals, spiky vines, boulders, dead trees, crystalline hands, and much more, which move around via the electricity coursing through them. These portals can also just spit out electricity outright. More than anything, however, these vortexes can drain all color from the world in an instant.

Bewitching Bell

The mystical, enchanted bell of the legendary Grogar, which was used against him in his defeat so long ago. This bell was last seen in Discord’s possession, with no recorded evidence of where it went leading up to Generation 5.

The bell is capable of emitting a flash of light that sucks up the target’s magic, instantly draining them of their powers and storing it within the bell. The user can then use the bell to give themselves the sucked up magic, instantly boosting their power as fit, and since Discord has been stated to have an “unlimited supply of Chaos Magic” and the Bell absorbed it all, we can assume the Bell can drain and store an infinite amount of power/magic.

Feats

Deceived Ford for years and tricked him into building the portal
Drove Fiddleford McGucket to madness in seconds
Defeated Time Baby and the Shacktron
Became larger than the earth in his projection
Conquered the vast Nightmare Realm

Power

Casually melted a statue with an eye blast
Overpowered the Shacktron; ripping its leg off and sending it flying with a swing
Destroyed the roof of a building with an energy blast (1.26 Tons of TNT)
Created a large crater and shockwave on the ground in his fight with the Shacktron [See above]

(1.08 Kilotons of TNT)

Disintegrated the Time Baby with a single energy blast (as the Time Baby was stated to be 9 trillion tons, this would be worth 9.97 Teratons of TNT)
In his projection, put a smiling face on the earth with his finger before chomping down on a large portion of a planet

The Henchmaniacs, who Bill is superior to, were also seen tossing around several different planets with ease, as well as making Ford as large as a galaxy (105.8 Undecillion FOE)
While this projection is technically not reality, Bill had no reason to lie about what he would do after escaping Gravity Falls, meaning the events in this projection can be taken as they are (more info here)

Is implied to have destroyed his home dimension, which was composed of a 2-Dimensional universe
Sustains the Inter-Dimensional Rift with his power, and used it to reopen the original Portal

It is stated that the rift, if left unchecked, could destroy the very fabric of existence. Time Baby depicts this as a large blast/explosion, implying that its power is physical
The original portal was powerful enough to shake the entire Nightmare Realm

Speed

Flies across the collection of doors in Stan’s mindscape at high speeds
Blitzes Dipper from afar

Dipper can react to a blast from the Memory Gun, which is stated to shoot beams of radiation (1.43c)

Casually flies across planets in his projection, reaching another galaxy in seconds (130 Billion c)

It’s also shown that he’d be capable of granting Ford cosmic power that allows him to move his enlarged body across the galaxy (2.3 Trillion c)

His Weirdness energy was implied to be fast enough to encompass and destroy the entirety of the universe in a short timeframe (20.4 Trillion c - 5.87 Quintillion c)

Said explosion could have potentially affected the entire Gravity Falls cosmology, which is infinite, and would breach through the space-time continuum, as well as the temporal 4th dimension

(Immeasurable)

Is capable of perceiving and processing an infinite amount of potential timelines (Infinite)

Durability

“Pain is hilarious!”

Parried a punch from Dipper simply by looking at him

Dipper could physically compete with Gideon, who survived the Gideon-Bot’s explosion (32.38 Kilotons)

While possessing the body of Dipper, found the concept of pain humorous and was able to take several minor injuries, such as falling down the stairs, stabbing himself with a fork, and pouring soda in his eyes, without even flinching
While in the Dreamscape, took several attacks from dream-empowered Dipper, Mabel, and Soos without any lasting damage
Tanked multiple hits from the Shacktron
Ford could not find any substance in his travels that was powerful and stable enough to sufficiently harm Bill until he had encountered “NowUSeeItNowUDontium”, a paradoxical substance, to make the Quantum Destabilizer

This means that the ability to harm Bill is something that Ford was unable to do with his own engineering capacity of producing power sources, despite Ford producing…
