Araghast's psychic powers included the ability to project balls of dreadful fire from the Warp. He could also create a defensive barrier of razor-sharp rocks that would sprout from the ground in front of him with violent speed, crushing and cutting flesh and Ceramite armour with ease. His most powerful psychic power was reserved for fighting more powerful foes. This power allowed Araghast to drain the life force of a Chaos Cultist to heal his own wounds with the stolen life force. It is unknown why Khorne did not reject or punish his champion for this display of psychic power so antithetical to his own doctrines.
