Power of the Verse
Black Widow's characters primarily rest in the Street to Wall levels when it comes to the physicality of its characters, ranging from those powerful enough to deform metal and break bones to those strong enough to shatter brick walls. This is only when it comes to the physical strength of most characters, however, as the world's spellcasters can reach much higher tiers. For the most part, this limited to the superhuman and urban tiers, from spells powerful enough to destroy tanks to those that can level buildings.

The strongest magicians in Black Widow can annihilate villages, incinerate long tracts of land, destroy portions of a town, and create tornadoes through magic. The most powerful beings in the setting, such as dragons, reach Town level and above, presenting a threat comparable to that of a nuclear bomb and possessing the power to cause earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions. Speedwise, the characters are rather restrained, topping at Subsonic to low Supersonic in combat speeds, with dragons and some other beings reaching speeds above Mach 3 in flight.

Magicians are not lacking in hax, either, with many possessing the ability to induce a variety of harmful effects through curses, such as petrification, transmutation, and even instant death, while others have the knowledge on how to counter such spells. Dragons possess particularly calamitous power, such as radiation that can exceed that of a nuclear bomb or diseased bile running with every pathogen known to life and many more. Through specific rituals, some spellcasters can even manifest their thoughts as reality.
