On physical contact with such weapons, the Gandálfr's runes will glow, and the familiar gains heightened strength, agility, endurance, and reflexes in addition to complete proficiency over the weapon. These reinforcements linger only for a while when the power is deactivated; a Gandálfr who sustains normally fatal damage while powered up will quickly face the brunt of the damages when he returns to normal, which may cause him to collapse out of exhaustion or even possible death. According to Julio, Gandalfr's will have signatures, which is any weapon deemed the most at the era. For example Sasha who wields sword and spear, and who Saito wields Sword and Gun Although it is not stated, it is hinted that Gandalfr also has mastery over scientific application of technology to be included in using any weapon. This side-effect ultimately forges the familiars body into that of a warrior, as seen with Saito despite being a brain-type human. Also, a Gandálfr has sensory connections with its master, allowing both master and familiar to see or hear what the other does, knowingly or unknowingly.
