Meltdowner
Mugino's ability is Meltdowner, which allows her to manipulate the state of s and utilize them in an abnormal state.

Electrons can exhibit the properties of either depending on the conditions, and can be observed in one state or another. Mugino's ability allows her to forcibly control electrons in an "ambiguous" state where they are neither a particle nor a wave. Ignoring quantum theory, it can manipulate the state of an electron no matter who is observing it, a highly unique property. When they contact or strike other objects, the electrons are unable to react as either a particle or a wave because of their abnormal stuck state, and "stop". Normally, electrons have a mass close to zero, but the "stopping" effectively creates a false/pseudo-"wall" and the effect of a seemingly solid object - with objects hitting or being hit by them experiencing destructive force as though they hit the "wall" at that speed. Coupled with a strong resistance which can produce massive heat and friction, this results in highly destructive effects when the affected electrons collide with other objects at speed, forcibly burning through targets.

Meltdowner
Mugino's ability is the Meltdowner (原子崩し (メルトダウナー) ) with the technical classification as Particle Waveform High-Speed Cannon (粒機波形高速砲). As electrons have the properties of both particles and waves, Mugino's ability allows her to forcibly control electrons in the "ambiguous" state of an electron where it is both particle and wave, and when they strike other objects the electrons are unable to react either as particle or a wave because of their state. Normally, electrons have a mass close to zero, but because they are stuck or "stopped" at this state they take the form of a seemingly solid object, which has become a pseudo-"wall" due to the "stopped" state, and then creating a highly destructive beam of high-speed electrons that pierces through a target at the same velocity that it was fired. As it is a form of electron manipulation, the ability allows her to affect electric attacks, allowing her to bend their trajectory, such as those done by Misaka Mikoto. Likewise, Mikoto can bend Meltdowner using her ability as well.

The ability usually takes on the form of a high-speed beam of light that can easily melt through thick metal walls and cause things like refined alcohol to explode with its heat alone. Mugino can create four beams at once, create a shield out of it that can disintegrate objects upon contact and block shockwaves. By December of the story's first year, Mugino can now create and use up to twenty beams at once.

Moreover, another radical application of this are limbs, like her Meltdowner arm. Also, by emitting a power similar to a rocket, it can perform high-speed evasion that is fast enough to escape an explosion.

The color of her Meltdowner differ between mediums. In the novel it described as white and pale bluish. In the video game it is of a light purple color, and in the anime it is green in color.

Weaknesses and compensations
Due to the sheer extent of her power, Mugino needs a certain amount of time to aim in exchange, as such she can't deal with a surprise attack. This weakness is demonstrated when her anger towards Hamazura Shiage fueled her to use too much power and she blew off her own left arm from wrist to elbow.

Another weakness of her ability is that despite being able to make twenty beams, she can only fire in one direction, the direction she is facing. Also, her ability can only be used on one target at a time, though it has an accuracy high enough to blow away the members of the opponent before he can draw a gun and fire. By its nature, it is incapable of rapid-fire, thus poor at surface occupation and saturation attacks. To compensate for the former, she has to consciously limit herself when using her ability and to compensate for the latter, she carries around silicon cards that can disperse her individual laser shots into multiple ones, this attack is labeled by Mugino as Silicon Burn (拡散支援半導体 (シリコンバーン) ).

According to researchers, her output is suppressed due being restrained by her survival instinct, but if it wasn't for that it could easily instant-kill the likes of the Railgun. However, because actually firing at such output would also blow away Mugino's body with the backlash, this assessment is not covered. Mugino herself understands that killing the 'Railgun in one hit' is just a poor excuse by the researchers and, for that reason, also harbors great hostility towards the Railgun.

Other abilities
Mugino is also very resilient, able to stand back up even after an entire magazine being emptied into her and having her left arm blown off. Moreover, she can give both powerful punches and kicks, as experienced by both Shiage and Mikoto, both of whom had an urge to vomit after being hit in the stomach.

After she lost her arm and eye, Mugino was given prosthetic ones. The eye allows her to track movements, while her arm is strong enough to crush even Chambord spears.
