Unlike ordinary forms, Regals possess powers that are explicitely supernatural, from shooting lightning from one's hands to understanding and speaking every language in the world (as such, a [[kandra]] wouldn't be able to mimic a Regal).{{wob ref|8520}} These powers do not seem to require any sort of external [[Investiture]], such as [[stormlight]] or [[voidlight]], to be used.{{book ref|sa2|i|8}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} Moreover, in contrast to [[Fused]] possession, taking on a form of power does not strip the host of their personality, though it can alter their way of thinking.{{wob ref|11426}}
On the other hand, the Regal form can be directly spoken to by [[Odium]], though this seems to only occur if the singer is caught in the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} They're also not protected from other supernatural effects, such as being swept up in [[Stormfather]]'s visions, and are forced to use [[Odium]]-related [[Rhythm]]s, as hearing the ordinary ones is exceptionally difficult to them.{{book ref|sa3|109}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} It's possible that Odium can not only speak to Regals, but also make them utterly obedient to himself.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} The effect is not unlike [[Ruin]] influencing [[Inquisitor]]s through [[Hemalurgic]] spikes.{{wob ref|1047}}

Stormform is the first form of power to be rediscovered in the present times, as the [[listener]]s sought to find a way to defeat the human invaders.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} The form has little armor; rather, the singer's skin is covered in rows of protective ridges that poke out through the skin, which stretches tightly in some places. It causes the wearer to become more aggressive, callous, and filled with a sense of superiority over others.{{book ref|sa2|i|8
Despite looking comparatively lithe, a stormform Regal is in fact significantly stronger than a warform singer, being able to leap across the chasms of the [[Shattered Plains]] without a running start.{{book ref|sa2|i|8}} Moreover, the form allows a singer to create red lightning in their hands and shoot it at a considerable distance, though with little control. With some focus, the form also allows for control over wind; a group of stormform singers working in unison is capable of calling forth the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
