Abilities
Sword Saint (剣聖 Kensei): Reinhard is the current Sword Saint as the current holder of the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint (剣聖の加護 Kensei no Kago), which he inherited when he was 5 years old.

Divine Protection (加護 Kago): Reinhard has the ability to wish for any Divine Protection he wants, such as the Divine Protection of Judgement (審判の加護 Shinpan no Kago) during the battle at Priestella, and this ability is confirmed to be unrelated to him being the Sword Saint. So far, Reinhard has used the following Divine Protections:
 * The Divine Protection of Telepathy (伝心の加護 Denshin no Kago) allows the user to tell other people their thoughts telepathically. While it's normally used to tell close friends certain thoughts, it can be combined with singing to increase the strength and effect range.
 * The Divine Protection of Arrow Evasion (矢避けの加護 Yayoke no Kago) makes thrown weapons such as knives change their trajectory, effectively making it impossible for them to hit the user.
 * The Divine Protection of Blue Skies(蒼天の加護 Sōten no Kago) enhances the user and makes them become stronger when under blue skies.
 * The Divine Protection of Teary Skies (涙天の加護 Ruiten no Kago) enhances the user and makes them become stronger when under rainy skies.
 * The Divine Protection of Night Skies (夜天の加護 Yozora no Kago) enhances the user and makes them stronger when under the night sky.
 * The Divine Protection of First Sight (初見の加護 Hatsumi no Kago) enables the user to dodge attacks that they experience for the first time including ambushes and surprise attacks.
 * The Divine Protection of Advent (再臨の加護 Sairin no Kago) enables the user to dodge attacks that they experience twice or more including ambushes and surprise attacks.
 * The Divine Protection of Phoenix (不死鳥の加護 Fushichō no Kago) enables the user to come back to life immediately only once if they die.

Master Swordsman: Reinhard is highly skilled at using the sword.

Equipment: As the Sword Saint, Reinhard wields the Dragon Sword Reid (龍剣レイド Ryuuken Reido). The sword can only be drawn against opponents it deems worthy for it to be used against.

Defective Gate: According to the Artificial Spirit Echidna, Reinhard's gate is unable to release the mana inside of his body back out into the atmosphere, though she mentions that he is able to absorb an incredible amount and that it doesn't cause any harm to his body as he uses all of his mana to boost his physical abilities. Because of this, he can make others unable to use any magic or spirit magic while he's absorbing mana. Also, Reinhard has no affinity with magic, making him unable to use it at all.

Spirit Affinity: Minute Spirits are attracted to Reinhard and try to heal him whenever he becomes injured. However, he is unable to order or use the Spirits himself.
