As addressed by the likes of Aluwyn and the Elemental Goddesses, Willow was the most powerful witch of the Earth dimension, being able to easily hold her own against the Old Ones and Higher Beings, and even giving birth to the new Seed of Wonder (the source of all magic in the world). Amy Madison characterizes her as a "big all-powerful earth-mother witch goddess".
  
  
• Her first spell was being able to restore Angel's/Angelus despite having little to none experience prior, while also recovering in the hospital. Giles said that this was a spell that was even deemed beyond his scope, as Giles had much more experience and knowledge concerning magic.
  
  
• Tara, who had practiced magic since her childhood, would praise Willow's power even though at the time Willow had only been practicing for less than two years.
  
  
• Amy Madison, who was a powerful witch by lineage, was amazed by Willow's magical aptitude. She later sates that "Willow always had the power, long before she even knew what to do with it, just came so easy for her, the rest of us, we had to work twice as hard to be half as good."

Mental & Behavioral Manipulation:

• Used a memory purging spell to erase the memory of Tara Maclay after an argument they had. This spell caused the target to completely forget recent negative feelings, memories, or occurrences. She would later use it again with a delayed effect, meaning it would not be casted until she wanted it to. This would unfortunately backfire for her, due to her being in a rush, and cause the entire Scooby Gang, including herself, would suffer complete amnesia. Their memories were later restored once the crystal used for the spell had been crushed.

  Energy Transference:
• Was able to transfer the mental energy that Glory had stole from Tara back into her, which restored Tara's sanity and weakened Glory, who stated, "...she made a hole...I need a brain to eat." Brains and mental energy is what allowed Glory to not go insane and stay in her form longer.

Reality Warping:

• Willow has showed many times to be capable of warping reality, often with the wave of her hand.
  
  
• Willow's true first reality warping feat, would be the My Will Be Done spell. Which would bring her statements to reality. This spell caused Giles to go blind when she said, "...you don't see anything!" Secondly, she accidentally transforms Amy from a rat back into a human then back into a rat, by saying, "First she's a perfectly normal girl, then poof, she's a rat." Thirdly, by saying, "...he's probably just standing out there, you'll find him two seconds," which caused Spike to appear outside the dorms and Buffy finding him within two seconds. Fourthly, she causes Spike and Buffy to fall in love, making Spike propose to Buffy when she said "well fine, why doesn't she just go marry him." Lastly, she called Xander a "demon magnet," thus attracting real hostile demons to his location. These actions had made her eligible to become a vengeance demon, given that her magic and pain were so strong, but she declined the offer and undid the spell. D'Hoffryn still saw potential in her that he offered the opportunity that if she ever changed her mind to summon him.

• As Dark Willow, she stated she could turn Dawn back into the ball of mystical energy she originally was.

• This was Willow's truly first spell casted by herself. The Ritual Of Restoration is a spell that will restore a vampire's soul, in this case it was Angelus.
  
  
• Rupert Giles, who at the time had more knowledge about using magic, had once stated that performing the Ritual of Restoration required a greater knowledge of magic than he could claim. He also warned Willow — who was, at that point, still an inexperienced witch — that channeling such potent magic through herself could open a door she might never be able to close.
  
  
• Incantation: Quod perditum est, invenietur.
  
  Nici mort, nici al fiinţei.
  
  Te invoc spirit al trecerii.
  
  Te implor, Doamne; nu ignoră aceasta rugăminte!
  
  Lăsa orbită să fie vasul care-i vă transportă sufletul la el.
  
  Este scris, aceasta putere este dreptul poporul meu de a conduce.
  
  Aşa să fie! Aşa să fie!
  
  Acum!
  
  
• Translation: What was lost, shall be found.
  
  Not dead, nor not of the living.
  
  I call you, spirits of the interregnum.
  
  I call on you, Gods, do not ignore this supplication!
  
  Let the orb be the vessel to carry his soul to him.
  
  It is written, this power is my people's right to wield.
  
  So be it! So be it!
  
  Now!
  
  

Temporal Fold Spell:

• This spell was casted by Anya and Willow where they offer a plea to a higher deity and pour sand over the representation of the lost object, in hopes of creating a temporal fold and retrieving Anya's necklace (Vengeance Demons were given a jewel, by D'Hoffryn, to be worn at all times. This was the source of all their power, it is unknown if it truly needed or just a symbol of recognition as later D'Hoffryn turned Anya back into a Vengeance Demon without giving her an amulet or jeweled like jewelry).
  
  
• Willow is given psychic flashes of the alternate world and causes sand to spill on her hands. As the spell ends, the alternate vampire Willow vanishes before Oz is able to stake her. This causes the alternate Willow to appear in their world.

"My Will Be Done" Spell:

• By casting this spell, she managed to: blind Rupert Giles, teleported both Spike and Buffy Summers just outside the latter's dorm and then later caused the two of them to become engaged, and caused Xander Harris to literally become a demon magnet
  
  
• This was the first spell Willow misused for selfish reasons. She reversed this with the "My Will Be Safe" spell.
  
  
• Incantation: Harken all ye elements, I summon thee now.
  
  Control the outside, control within.
  
  Land and sea, fire and wind.

  From this eve forth, my will be done.
  
  So mote it be.
  
  

Simulated Sunlight Spell:

• This spell was an attempt made by Willow Rosenberg to create a simulated floating ball of sunlight to help Buffy dust nests and big groups vampires. However, Willow had stated that the spell was very sensitive, and any non-ritual words would disrupt it. Anya had ignored this and continued to ask questions and tally up prices of the ingredients Willow had used, and this caused a massive argument which caused the spell to backfire before being completed and stabled.
  
  
• The ingredients included hellebore, fleabane, salamander eyes, and bindweed. It is unknown if other ingredients were being used.
  
  
• In the video game adaption, Chaos Bleeds, when playing as Willow you can use this spell to defeat vampires without the needed preparation shown in the series.

This helped aid her in her hand-to-hand fight with Buffy, in which she was able to trade direct blows with Buffy and knock out Anya almost instantly. This spell seemingly granted her a insane amount of knowledge and skill for hand-to-hand combat, enough to even make Buffy struggle in the fight (it should be made known that Buffy was holding back because she didn't want to truly hurt Willow).
  
  
• Incantation: Da mihi vim
  
  
• Translation: Latin for give me strength
  
  

Thick Air Spell:

• This spell was found by Willow Rosenberg in a tome named the Darkest Magick in Giles' off-limits stack in the Magic Box. It is a powerful incantation that invoked a number of deities, it was meant to contain someone by turning the air around them as thick as tar. Willow used it in a battle against Glory, and it turned out to be strong enough to immobilize even the Hell-Goddess, who had until then seemed to be an unstoppable force.
  
  
• This spell involved calling upon five Deities: Kali, Hera, Kronos, Thonic, and Cassiel. However, it was shown that the witch could later reactivate the spell without the need to re-invoke the Deities - instead, she would only need to say "thicken" along with a hand gesture (waving of hand/holding hand up).
  
  
• It remains unknown as to how long this spell is able to contain its victim before the witch had to recite the invocation again.
  
  
• Incantation: Kali, Hera, Kronos, Thonic.
  
  Air like nectar, thick as onyx.
  
  Cassiel, by your second star;
  
  Hold mine victim as in tar.
  
  

Resurrection Spell:

• This resurrection spell was used to bring Buffy Summers back to life.

• The caster was forced to go through a trial in order to be worthy of the life they wished to bring back. Such trials included vomiting up snakes, surface mutilation and what appeared to be painful energy manipulation
  
  
• This spell was only allowed when a being died through mystical means, such as Buffy diving into the energy field generated by the ritual used to activate the Key. Resurrection was not allowed if the user died of natural causes, such as illness or murder as was proved when Willow attempted to resurrect her dead lover Tara had died from being shot.
  
  
• If the spell was successful, the person's spirit was summoned from its resting place (in the case of Buffy, a heavenly dimension) to enter their body and immediately bring it back to life, also reverting the entire process of decay that her body had suffered during the months of her death.
  
  
• Incantation: Osiris, keeper of the gate, master of all fate, hear us.
  
  Before time and after, before knowing and nothing.
  
  Accept our offering, know our prayer.
  
  Osiris, here lies the warrior of the people;
  
  Let her cross over.
  
  Osiris, let her cross over!
  
  Release her!
  
  

Enjoining Spell:

• The enjoining spell was a spell performed in order to combine the essences and abilities of several individuals into a vessel. It required the use of Tarot cards, lit candles, and a magic gourd.
  
  
• Willow acted as the spirit, Xander as the heart, Giles as the mind, and Buffy as the hand. When the spell began to take effect, the first three had their bodies immobile in trance, while the voices of all four spoke through Buffy's body. The resulting abilities were far superior than Adam's, so the Scoobies were able to successfully remove his power source, the uranium 235 core, and defeat the creature
  
  
• Incantation: The power of the Slayer and all who wield it. Last to ancient first, we invoke thee. Grant us thy domain and primal strength. Accept us and the power we possess. Make us mind and heart and spirit enjoined. Let the hand encompass us. Do thy will. By the generous will of the Ancients, the almighty power of the Divine Spirits... Your supplicants humbly beseech thee to behold us, and that which we possess... The moieties of the One, the Avatar... Spiritus... spirit. Animus... heart. Sophus... mind. And Manus... the hand. We enjoin that we may inhabit the vessel, the hand... Daughter of Sineya... First of the ones... We implore thee: admit us. Bring us to the vessel! Take us now! We are heart... We are mind... We are spirit... From the raging storm... We bring the power of the Primeval One...
  
  

Gender Changing Spell:

• In 2002, Willow had fallen under a love spell with the boy R.J., despite being a lesbian, and wanted to change him into a woman to accommodate her sexuality. The idea was accidentally given to her by Anya, who had sarcastically asked if Willow would magically turn R.J. into a woman to prove her love for him.
  
  
• Willow started the incantation, calling upon the goddess Hecate, before Xander interrupted it by covering her mouth. The floating crystals stopped glowing and fell of the air.
  
  
• The spell only required four candles and several crystals surrounding a bowl of additional crystals.
  
  
• Incomplete Incantation: O Hecate, I call on you.
  
  I humbly ask your will be done.
  
  Hear my request, a simple change.
  
  Create a daughter from a son...
  
  

"Deceitful Hearts Be Broken" Spell:

• This was a spell used to break the relationship between two individuals. It invoked several powers from hell to ensure that the two lovers would not find love, solace, or peace from each other, converting the emotion between the two targets from love to hate.
  
  
• Willow attempted to use the spell during her first year of college after she found out that her boyfriend Oz has been intimately involved with another werewolf, Veruca. Ultimately, Willow was not able to complete the spell, stopping abruptly just before finishing it.
  
  
• It required sand, fire, In an empty lab, Willow had a bowl with fire over a burner and some items in front of her: a book, herbs, candles, bottles with sand, beakers, and a chalice with a round stone. She mixed ingredients with mortar and pestle. When invoking the incantation, flames arose, and the book and beakers started to float as Willow took a picture of Oz. Instead of burning it into the fire, Willow dropped the picture, giving up the spell. The fire extinguished, and the beakers shattered as they fell.
  
  
• Incantation (Possibly Incomplete): I conjure thee,
  
  By Barabbas, by Satanas, and the Devil.
  
  As thou art burning, let Oz's and Veruca's deceitful hearts be broken.
  
  I conjure thee by the Saracen Queen, and by the name of hell.
  
  Let them find no love or solace.
  
  Let them find no peace as well.
  
  Let this image seal his fate, not to love, only hate...
  
  

Prey-Inversion Spell:

• Willow cast the spell during an encounter with a Hyberrax in its native dimension, saving her ally Marrak from the creature. She stated that it was a spell that wasn't normally resorted to throughout history.
  
  
• There was a small amount of time necessary before the spell would take effect. It resulted in a massive explosion that blew apart the target creature while leaving its prey unharmed.
  
  
• Incantation: Elesa Hom Ekta Bliare
  
  

Slayer Activation Spell:

• A spell continuously activated multiple Potential Slayers around the world, replacing the original Slayer line of Chosen Ones into a collective, shared power.
  
  
• It was first performed by Willow Rosenberg in 2003 during the battle at the Hellmouth.
  
  
• In 2003, the First Evil taunted Buffy Summers that despite her efforts, she and the Scooby Gang would not fare well against the army of Turok-Hans. The First also taunted Buffy that she would die alone. Because of this, Buffy came to realize that she could change the rules so that she and Faith Lehane were not the only activated Slayers.
  
  Buffy then came up with a plan that would involve the witch Willow Rosenberg to tap into the essence of the mystical Slayer weapon Mʔ, which was tied to the Slayer, and rewrite the set rule of the "Chosen One." This would activate Potential Slayers worldwide and overrule the Shadowmen's original magic.
  
  While Buffy led everyone into battle in the Hellmouth, Willow performed the ritual in the Principal's office of Sunnydale High School. She successfully channeled the power of the Slayer, allowing the Potentials to fight back against the First's army.
  
  
• The spell required the Mʔ (Slayer Scythe) as a key instrument. While chanting surrounded by lit candles, Willow channeled her energy to the Scythe. After a few seconds, the weapon began to glow, and the spell took effect.
  
  
• The spell temporarily turned Willow's hair white, reflecting the good magic of the spell, in contrast to her past dark Willow persona while performing dark magic. Then, she dropped on the floor, exhausted, exclaiming in contentment: "Ha! That was nifty." As the Slayers were activated, they were able to feel to surge of power inside them, causing them to be initially confused, but otherwise more confident and connected.
  
  Another effect of the spell was that it allowed Willow to sense the Slayers being activated elsewhere, long after the spell has been completed. Not all Potentials were instantly called, but caused them to become receive their true power upon reaching a certain age and maturity. This was notable with the Slayer Soledad, who was activated in her 15th birthday, two years after the spell was performed.
  
  

Slayer Reversal/Slayer Power Spell:

• This spell was a reversal of the Slayer activation spell performed by Willow Rosenberg, concentrating the power of all currently active Slayers into a single person.
  
  
• To defeat the Pandora Project's leader, Joanna Wise, who had turned herself into a magic-infused cyborg much stronger than a Slayer, Buffy performed with Willow a reversal spell of the activation of the Potential Slayers they had done in 2003. Willow explained that Buffy had shared what made her special with all Potentials, and the power had grown in each of them.
  
  Using the mʔ weapon once again, Willow was able to put the grown powers of thousands of Slayers back in Buffy, giving her the ability to even cut magic with its blade, heal in two seconds an attack of Rain of Death, and survive a even more powerful magical attack that burned half of her skin. After defeating Wise and eventually healing herself, Buffy and Willow used the Scythe to return all the power back to the Slayers.
