The Dakhor magic system can grant several abilities that we've seen so far. The first is the extreme strength of anyone who uses Dakhor.{{ref|b|elantris|c|58}} The bones of the the Dakhor monks are almost indestructible too,{{ref|b|elantris|c|62}} although this may just be part of the increased strength they have. Those who use Dakhor can receive enhanced speed as well.{{ref|b|elantris|c|58}} Another more costly power is teleportation. In exchange for one man's death, a large groups of people can be transported instantaneously somewhere.{{ref|b|elantris|c|60}} The body and spirit of the man who is sacrificed is used to power this ability. These four powers appear to be part of the standard ability set for monks of Dakhor monastery.
 
Another seemingly magic power used by Fjorden changed [[Dilaf|Dilaf's]] appearance from that of a Fjordell to an Arelene.{{ref|b|elantris|c|60}} This seems likely to be a capability of the Dakhor magic system; changing what race a person looks to be. This could presumably be used to change any aspect of a person's appearance. Dakhor can also grant the ability to negate [[Aon]]s drawn by Elantrians.{{ref|b|elantris|c|56}} There anotherAnother ability that can be given through Dakhor is a resistance to attacks from the Dor.{{ref|b|elantris|c|62}} This power requires the deaths of 50 men to be granted and is rarely given. It is unknown if the ability to negate Aons and the resistance to Dor attacks are two separate abilities or both tied to the same type of bone shape.
