Since the source of the Dark One's power comes from drinking from the Holy Grail (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Holy_Grail), which is also the same thing that granted Merlin's powers, the magic user is able to perform tasks beyond that of an ordinary magic practitioner, instantly becoming a master of dark magic and becoming immortal, with only the Dark One's dagger (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_One%27s_Dagger) being the person's weakness.<ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Blood Magic (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Magic)</strong> - Use of his own blood as magical seal that can only be broken by someone who shares his bloodline. <em>("Quite a Common Fairy (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Quite_a_Common_Fairy)")</em> </li><li><strong>Foresight (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Foresight)</strong> - Ability to see the future, which was obtained by the seer (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Seer). </li><li><strong>Immortality</strong> - Eternal life, with no aging effect in appearance, which is one of the powers granted to a Dark One.  The only weapon that can kill him is the Dark One's dagger, which if he is killed with it, his powers and status will transfer to the person who kills him. </li><li><strong>Potioncraft (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Potioncraft)</strong> - Ability to create potions with various effects. </li><li><strong>Witchcraft (http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Witchcraft)</strong> - Rumplestiltskin is a master in all types of magic, particularly dark magic. </li></ul>
