Back when Pailiah wielded her [[Honorblade]], she had the ability to use the [[Surge]]s of [[Illumination]], allowing her to create illusions of light and sound, and [[Progression]], letting her grow plants and heal herself and others.

However, she has abandoned her Blade at the Aharietiam, losing her access to Stormlight and Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} Whether she has any supernaturalSurgebinding abilities other than longevity in the present day is uncertain.
