Puella Magi Madoka Magica
- Magical arrows: Madoka can produce arrows of pink magic that seem to explode on impact. She can fire as many as five in one shot and they appear to be able to curve in mid-flight to change direction.
- Incredible potential: Madoka is able to take out Walpurgisnacht in one hit in the right conditions. This would appear to burn through her magic near instantly however, and turn her into a witch.
- Law of Cycles/Vital Circle: Madoka can heal and purify the souls of magical girls from despair, preventing them from becoming witches and transferring them into an alternate dimension (heaven). This power is Madoka's wish, which turns her into a goddess, unleashing her immense potential, unseen by any magical girl ever before.
- Healing: In the timeline Magia Record takes place, it is postulated that Madoka and Iroha Tamaki's magic are very similar. As Iroha has healing magic, and Madoka is known to have wished to heal a cat in previous anime timelines, it is highly likely that she possesses healing magic in this timeline.
- Time stop: Homura can temporarily stop time in the surrounding area with exception of herself and anything in direct contact with her (such as holding hands). From an outside perspective, this appears as if she is teleporting from place to place.
- Hammer space: Besides blocking damage, her clockwork shield can store any size and amount of munition. Thus far, Homura has seen storing and pulling out from it pistols, grenades, flashbangs, an M249 and a large amounts of RPGs.
- Energy manipulation: She would appear to be able to fire purple-ish blasts of magic out of her hand (or Soul Gem), as well as form energy barriers around her shield to block attacks. In chapter 5 of Oriko Magica she creates a defensive barrier around Madoka.
- Time loop: Homura can rewind time back one month; however, she must wait at least one month between uses (or use up one month's worth of sand in her timer).
- Healing: Homura is seen healing her eyesight, allowing her to no longer wear glasses. It's also possible that she healed her heart condition and altered her physical state, allowing her to beat the school's pole jump record.
- Magical arrows: Due to her wish in the new universe involving Madoka, whom only Homura remembered, she was granted an ebony bow like Madoka's that produces arrows of magic that explode on impact. She can also rain arrows like Ultimate Madoka with a similar magical seal, but on a smaller scale.
- Memory manipulation: Due to her wish in the new universe involving Madoka, whom only Homura remembered, she was granted the ability to manipulate both her own memories and those of others. When Homura took part of the Law of Cycles, she could manipulate memories on a universal scale.
- Flight: Homura is able to fly for short distances and maintain the flight by propelling herself on air
- Speed: Homura can move with superhuman speed: she is capable of dodging bullets even at point blank range, keeping pace with a speeding truck etc. She also is known for applying acrobatics during battle
- Magic Imbuement: Homura is able to move objects by imbuing them with magic through physical contact, as seen when she "drove" a large truck into Walpurgisnacht while on its roof.
- Universal rewrite: After taking part of the Law of Cycles, Homura is able to rewrite the universe to some extent
- Regeneration: Sayaka can quickly regenerate any otherwise fatal body damages and continue fighting. Because of her wish relating to healing someone, she uses less magic to do this and is more efficient at it than other magical girls, even Mami, who also made a wish related to healing.
- Screen sweep: Leaving blue streaks in her wake, Sayaka is able to quickly bounce across the entire battlefield and take out any enemies in her path.
- Musical platforms: Sayaka is shown creating magical platforms that take the appearance of musical notation to walk on and propel herself from. Whether this is specifically due to her own love of music, or an underlying reason for her wish, is uncertain.
- Witch summoning: In Rebellion, after having been claimed by the Law of Cycles and returning to Earth, Sayaka is shown summoning her witch form to fight alongside her in battle.
- Healing: In episode 1, Mami demonstrated the ability to heal wounds on others. Unlike Sayaka however, whose wish was related to healing, Mami is not as good at healing quickly like Sayaka can.
- Restrain: Mami can summon ribbons to restrain and incapacitate an adversary.
- Ribbons: She can shape her ribbons as she sees fit, making bridges or giant pistols out of them. Mami had to study the mechanics of pistols first before being able to shape her primary weapon (ribbons) into them though.
- Ribbon Construct: As seen in Rebellion, Mami can create a duplicate of herself entirely out of ribbons. Whether it is capable of fighting on its own/possesses some form of its own consciousness, or if she is able to control it and experience sensations through it, is uncertain.
- Other abilities: Mami placed a ribbon barrier around Madoka and Sayaka in episode 1 to protect them from harm, and imbued Sayaka's bat with magic in episode 2. In Rebellion, she is shown using her magic to instantly curl her hair. In The Different Story, Mami can enhance string to be both sharp and durable, using it to counter Kyoko's speed in a fight.
- Erecting fencing: Kyoko can erect a impenetrable, latticed barrier to keep others from harm or to isolate her adversary.
- Giant spears: Said barrier is made of giant spears. She would appear to be able to ride them and they behave somewhat like snakes due to their chained nature.
- Create Illusion Duplicates: Kyoko's unique ability which she lost. This magic was shown in Drama CD 3, "Farewell Story", where she created up to 13 duplicates of herself. The attack was named Rosso Fantasma by Mami. Kyoko's subconscious mind blocks her use of this power after she lost her family.
- Energy manipulation: Kyoko is also able to shroud herself in a powerful magical glow. Whether it has any effect or is just for show remains to be seen.
- Soul Gem detonation: Suicide attack. Able to take out witches in one hit. It is unknown if other magical girls can also do this at will.
- Other abilities: Kyoko was able to keep Sayaka's (soulless) body from decaying while also keeping it warm. This might be a generic use of magic all of the girls can learn to do, but it might also just be an application of healing magic on a body other than hers. In Episode 4, she used her soul gem to transform and enhance a pair of binoculars.
- Bubbles: Nagisa can blow powerful bubbles that can even crack a certain witch's barrier.
- Greed: Nagisa's magic makes her more greedy and self-assertive, according to a Rebellion production note.
- Witch Summoning/Transformation: Nagisa can transform between her normal form and Bebe/Charlotte due to her being claimed by the Law of Cycles.

- Imperception: Thanks to the effects of her wish, Kanna's strings can't be seen when she is connecting to another magical girls when she is fusing their magic.
- Witch Manipulation: Kanna's strings allow her to control witches to which she uses her connect magic.
Puella Magi Oriko Magica
- Precognition: Oriko possesses precognitive powers, which cause her to receive visions. These visions do take up magic, and she cannot control when they occur.

- Enhanced Speed: Suzune learned to move fast enough for a short time, making it seem like she can disappear in front of her enemies.
- Detect: Matsuri can detect magical signs from other magical girls or witches. Her magic is strong enough to detect faster opponents, like Suzune, or imperception users, like her twin sister Kagari.
- Light Manipulation: Matsuri's detection magic takes the form of light magic. She can also use light attacks, mainly to temporaly blind her opponents.
- Mental Immunity: Matsuri's mind seems to be immune or resilient to deceptive magic, mainly her twin's memory manipulation magic, as she was shown to be the only one that can eventually get free from her magic by herself.
- Body Reinforcement: Arisa can boost her body's physical limits, allowing her to hit stronger and faster than normal.
- Super Strength: Thanks to her wish, Arisa got inhuman strength.
- Charm: Haruka can draw the attention of enemies, making them focus on her and/or freeze them in place. This can be used to immobilize an enemy temporarily or to draw their attention away from a more vulnerable target.
- Cancellation: Chisato can cancel the magical effects inflicted on others, or cancel a girl's magical effect altogether.

Magia Record
- Reversal: Iroha can reverse the harm done to anyone, even though overuse of this ability causes erasure of her own self. Initially, this ability is assumed to be a mere healing ability.
- Light arrows: Iroha can produce light arrows of magic to attack.
- Receive Hope: Yachiyo can receive hope and memories of those who have already passed on. It is speculated that this ability comes from her own wish to survive, and she initially thinks that that wish causes everyone around her to die eventually.
- Halberd Summoning: Yachiyo can summon and fight with many halberds she launches at her enemies.
- Luck/Probability Manipulation: Tsuruno's Good Luck ability, despite its name, is a double-edged sword. While it doesn't outright give her a good life, it gives her enough to survive (i.e her restaurant staying just barely afloat, her relatively smooth release from Chelation Land, etc.). It usually works whenever Tsuruno tries to protect her allies.
- Flame Generation: With her tessen, Tsuruno is capable of creating flames to fight.

This also seems to extend to appearance and voice, even though it can be detected by those who know the imitated person especially well (i.e her imitation of Momoko was remarked to be imperfect because she can't replicate the way Momoko walks).
- Magic Mimicry: Rena's transformation magic also gives Rena the power of a magical girl who Rena has turned into.
- Tridents & Mirrors Summoning: Rena can create many tridents and mirrors to fight, mainly using the mirrors to launch her tridents.

She can "program" the Rumors' behaviour to her will and made them act and manifest in barriers like witches, which she can also use to act as traps (like with Hotel Fendt Hope). Giving permanent bodies to her creations drains her life energy away.
- Page Manipulation: Nemu can turn the pages of her book into projectiles to attack her enemies from a distance.
- Flight: Nemu has the ability to fly even at higher altitudes than Touka with her kinetic energy.
- Hallucination: Mifuyu has the ability to create life-like hallucinations, which she uses to create fake copies of herself (like Kyoko) and even horrific hallucinations of a desert or black space to disorient her opponents.
- Hypnosis: Mifuyu's hallucination magic also can manifest as hypnosis, thus giving her the ability to put sleep or beliefs into other people's minds or herself.
- Teleportation: Mifuyu is capable of creating crystal-like moon orbs to teleport herself and her allies from one place to another. This could possibly be part of her hallucination magic. (Anime).
- Magical Realm (Witch Barrier) Generation: Alina's unique magic allows her to create her own witch barriers and labyrinths without being a witch.
- Barrier Generation: Derived from her unique power, Alina can also create barriers as force fields. These force fields are so strong that they can block the magical effects of other magical girls and even cut Incubators' bodies out from their hive-mind network if they step inside her barriers.

- High Speed: Kanagi is capable of moving faster than average magical girls as shown in the anime.
- Tampering Magic/Curses: Mitama's unique magic allows her to tamper with other magical girls, the same way that witches do with her curses. This makes Mitama extremely lethal towards other magical girls, as she can infuse their soul gems with curses if she wants to. This magic however doesn't affect witches and thus Mitama can't fight them.
- Adjustment: Mitama can "adjust" to strengthen other magical girls permanently.
- Magic Infusion: Mitama can transfer part of her innate magic from her gloves to a silk cloth, which helps her to actually fight familiars and witches at some degree (mostly self-defence).
- Marble Summon: Mitama can summon gigantic crystal marbles with silk cloth to contain Doppels. (Anime)
- Sound Wave Manipulation: Tsukuyo and Tsukasa have the ability to generate great sound waves with their flutes. Their powers can also meddle with other wavelengths of sound, mainly the one used by magical girls in their telepathy. By working together, both twins can amplify the radius of the telepathy range. At maximum effect, their sound waves can affect the minds of humans when used alongside other magical girls' magic.
- Light/Shadow generation: Tsukuyo's sound magic can turn into a light attack (Cherry Blizzard) in the shape of a blizzard of cherry tree petals while Tsukasa's sound magic can turn into a shadow attack (Cherry Ballad) in the shape of roots of a cherry tree.
- Attention Attraction: Kuroe's unique magic, called "Affirmation of Existence", draws the attention from others around Kuroe directly to her. It seems this magic is unconscious and makes people focus on her temporarily or focus just their thoughts on her, as when she isn't around people that used to seem to care for her or have special attention (like Iroha or Nemu) seem to forget about her in most cases. However, when she is around those her magic affects, they open up to her. Her magic also seems to prioritize her well-being above that of loved ones or involve her with the care of loved ones.
- Ground Manipulation: Kuroe is capable of making seismic movements with her gymnastic batons and is even capable of creating big walls out of the ground.
- Internal Damage: Kanae had the unique ability to damage opponents from the inside with her magic (probably with vibrations).
