Envoyform grants a host of supernatural abilities primarily related to translation and interpretation.{{book ref|sa4|11}} The most notable power is the ability to speak, read, and understand any language, whether human or singer.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} The ability presumably involves some manipulation of the power of [[Connection]]. After hearing several sentences in an unknown language, an envoyform feels as though the words blur in their mind before shifting into something understandable and they gain the ability to speak and understand that language.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} While this power is capable of allowing a envoyform to understand the meaning of a name, it cannot give them any context or additional information beyond that.{{book ref|sa4|14}} There are also times that this translation power may fail.{{book ref|sa4|53}} Odium himself may prevent an envoyform from interpreting certain conversations or songs, leaving envoyforms with a feeling that they can almost understand but that their powers shy back from comprehending,{{book ref|sa4|14}} and there are other times it seems to fail an envoyform.{{book ref|sa4|41}} In order to properly interpret the meaning of writing, an envoyform must first know that the symbols they look at are writing before their translation powers activate.{{book ref|sa4|74}}
Given more time and practice holding this form, its abilities grow even grander, allowing an envoyform to intuit instructions from merely a hum,{{book ref|sa4|11}} or a simple gesture,{{book ref|sa4|41}} a talent particularly useful when serving a Fused master. This makes serving as the Voice of an important Fused one possible position for an envoyform singer, because of its ability to speak the ancient Fused language.{{book ref|sa4|11}} Additionally, as many Fused do not bother to learn modern languages, envoyforms are necessary as interpreters, allowing Fused to communicate their will to common singers.{{book ref|sa3|115}} They are also useful as propagandists, such as when Venli is used by Odium to help craft a foundation myth for the common singers of the Voidbringer forces.{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} This form is somewhat fragile{{book ref|sa3|109}} and not as physically powerful or athletic as other forms of power,{{book ref|sa4|37}} but in it, an envoyform Regal is incredibly nimble{{book ref|sa3|109}} and remains noticeably stronger than the average human.{{book ref|sa4|37}}
