As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mut Thebes is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. Her roots are in Egyptian Mythology and she has called an expert in executing Transcendents, (apparently) specializing in punishment, execution, and killing. Besides her primary use of weapons, she is capable of levitation and seems to be able to sense when her weapons take a life.
 * Common tones?: It is likely that like other Transcendents, she uses 'common tone creation' (共通トーン作成) to translate and synthesize her speech into unfamiliar languages.

Mut Thebes has the power to procure methods of punishment from targets (including those of offensive weapons) by making her shadow contact a target's shadow, making the strength and firepower her own. For example, when shot at by an HsMCV-08's 120mm main tank cannon, she caught the supersonic tank shell with her hand and was unscathed by its subsequent detonation, and then could produce tank shells to return fire, from the outside edge of her arm like a wing, and later produced multiple tank cannons in a similar manner.

Mut Thebes can procure methods of punishment from targets and use them for herself, including those of offensive weapons (e.g. bullets, cannon shells, tanks, fighter planes, fleets etc). In order to acquire a weapon, she must make contact between her shadow (her body's skin) and the target's shadow (the object in question, broadly speaking), absorbing the target's shadow into her body. Once acquired, she can freely manifest the weapon from her body (be it from her arms, legs, back or head), controlling and discharging it at will. The stock of shadows which she can store in her body is almost unlimited, and she can manifest multiple copies of a singularly acquired weapon at once. Being products of magic, the shadow weapons are susceptible to Imagine Breaker and cannot intercept it.

By gathering weapons, making their strength and firepower her own, Mut Thebes's power can snowball. Besides their direct uses, it can also be possible to use them indirectly to manipulate things such as water, electricity, air etc for other forms of attack, like depleting oxygen from an enemy's surroundings.
 * Although Mut Thebes specializes in using to it to acquire weapons and means of attack, her contact absorption is also effective as a shield to protect her from physical and chemical attacks.

Transcendence:

Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal,    Mut Thebes can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱).
 * In her case, this power is in the form of a '?' (?) and the nature of her seal is a ? (?).
 * In her case, the activation command includes the phrase "Life and Death" (生と死), its nature is that of a dead phoenix (デッドフェニックス) and the nature of her seal is a ? (二種の封印), with her weapons becoming larger and faster when it is released.
 * Zmb: 「人域離脱、リスク４. 生と死、清と濁、静と騒、聖と悪、正と誤、二種の封印突破. 速やかに起動せよ『デッドフェニックス』」(`Hito-iki ridatsu, risuku 4. Seitoshi, Shin to nigo, sei to 騒, Hijiri to waru, sei to go, futakusa no fūin toppa. Sumiyaka ni kidō seyo “deddofenikkusu”')
 * Seal (二種の封印, Futakusa no Fūin) - Dual seal, double seal, two seals

HsMCV-08 (Predator Octopus)
The HsMCV-08, also known as the Predator Octopus (プレデターオクトパス), is a mobile combat vehicle deployed by Academy City.

Principles
Classed as a next-generation mobile combat vehicle, designed to move quickly without damaging Academy City's road while using tank-class firepower to quickly eliminate dangerous elements in the city. It is operated by a crew of four but is capable of unmanned operation, either by remote control via its antennae or autonomously as a ground-based drone.

The Predator Octopus weighs 20 tons (excluding ammunition, fuel, crew and extra armor), has a top speed of 250km/h, and can climb slopes of 60 degrees depending on conditions. It is powered by a diesel engine with electrical assistance, with 4 and 8 wheel drive modes, the front four and rear four wheels capable of turning independently.

In terms of sensors, it has a multipurpose microwave radar (anti-personnel, anti-air and anti-vehicle), optimal imaging with the capacity for facial recognition and object searching, infrared and audio detection, and laser range finding, as well as detection and countermeasures for the locks of the same type. Its combined base-level C4I communication capability is equivalent to a front line comms base, with multiple methods including midrange ground radio, close-to-midrange infrared laser, close range ultrasound, and high-speed satellite comms.

The Predator Octopus's weaponry includes a 120mm tank gun, capable of firing various shells as well as launching anti-ground or anti-air drones, a 12.7mm heavy machine gun and a 40mm auto grenade launcher. Its defenses include a multipurpose smoke emitters, an anti-missile metal net launcher and a automatic attitude angling program meant to reduce damage when it is hit.

10 vehicles, deeper/heavier than Anti-Skill vehicles, look like 8-wheel armored vehicles with tank gun attached on top, mobile combat vehicles - design to move quickly without damaging AC's roads, to use tank-class firepower - swiftly eliminate dangerous elements in city, more antennae than ordinary model - likely control remote, effectively ground-based drones, HsMCV-08 Predator Octopus, giant gun or smallest machine gun blow human to bits
 * HsMCV-08, Drone
 * Tackled down, air compressed, explosion, building wall blown away, dust/ringing in ears
 * MT: Peek under one vehicle silent after remote antennae broken, main gun aim at Transcendent and fire 120mm tank shell - supersonic, caught with hand, fuse - detonate all explosives inside when sense contact, pierce armor, injure/destroy crew/engine within target vehicle, boom - shockwave shatter nearby windows, MT unscatched, return fire, main gun blast up by explosive within vehicles, armor rupture, axle break, giant tire roll away with wheels still attached, land-based drones - operate remote or run via program, break ranks and flee in panic, one leave more calmly - hijacked
 * Large enough to tilt head back to look up from outside, dark/cramped inside, feel smaller than boxy light vehicle, three separate seats inside - tight fit, guess base of rotating main gun stab down and take up large cylindrical space, siren stop, flat-screen monitor - control vehicle complicated (drive, aim/fire, load, general command and comms) but AC modern military vehicle do all by swiping flat computer, not bothered but seemingly disorienting task, what do, before spear - activate smoke emitter to obscure vision before spear's chemical smoke - not sneak in without it, RCO, any IT company (not just search engine) call self global power - needs to link/compile data from all parts of world, acquire AC format require spending Christmas spying on contents of many phones/tablets to analyze code inside, existing to suck data from accessing phones/computers, supposed to be 20/30 years ahead, future technology not as flawless/safe as like, vehicle can control remotely, not hard to hijack military vehicle fully reliant on network, if show off too much - AC will notice and patch, convenient to reuse same components - seem postapocalyptic for phones and ground-based combat drones to use same basic OS/firmwave, too reliant on strategic firewalls/dangeorus behavior detection algorithms, Aradia not fond, tech instead of magic to avoid tracking from others, feel/smell like cold/sterile server room rather than machine oil/smoke, look of one trapped in industrial refrigerator, after data backup, not have perfect memory but also need physical/visible evidence for threat, flare gun next to command seat
