Aside from her avatars, Bavadin seems to have some measure of skill in combating other Shards. She successfully manages to infiltrate and Invest [[Scadrial]] without [[Harmony]] being able to act on it until it is too late. When acting directly, Bavadin knows how to bind another Shard, blinding them and effectively restricting their access to future-sight.{{book ref|mb7|19}} She can do so without endangering herself; like all Shards, Bavadin is unwilling to use her full power and thus expose herself to retaliation, preferring to act through intermediaries instead.{{book ref|mb7|66}}
=== Perpendicularity Control ===

Bavadin seems to have mastered control over [[perpendicularity|perpendicularities]]. She has barred access to [[Taldain]] through the [[Cognitive Realm]], locking any native worldhoppers out of their own homeland.{{au ref|Taldain}} On other worlds, she has shown the ability to create artificial, temporary perpendicularities; the methods by which she does so are unknown to cosmere scholars and appear to break the known laws of [[Realmatic Theory]].{{book ref|mb7|50}}
However, unlike natural perpendicularities, the portals created by Autonomy have strict constraints, requiring specific time and place to form. What affects those conditions is unclear, though it appears that large quantities of Invested individuals and liquid Investiture are key aspects. Whatever the case may be, those constraints means that for Bavadin to use the portals effectively, she requires a great deal of coordination and timing.{{book ref|mb7|59}} Additionally, once made, those perpedicularities can be destroyed by spending the Investiture they are comprised of; a small group of [[Allomancer]]s can destroy a portal over the course of several minutes.{{book ref|mb7|64}}
