The main strength of the fruit allows the user to turn his body into, and produce unlimited amounts of lava and magma. Another strength, demonstrated by Akainu, is that the magma produced is much hotter than conventional fire, and is seen overpowering Ace's Mero Mero abilities. Its main weakness is water; if the user's body or part of the body is drenched in water, it will be turned to stone for a short period of time, rendering him vulnerable to an attack.
