Arceus, the Original One from Pokémon.

Aslan, the Great Lion from the Chronicles of Narnia.

Throughout history, the idea of a supreme deity, a being above all others that is always watching those below, is something that has always been pondered. And in the world of storytelling, it can bring about characters of incredible power that stand above all others in their respective worlds.

These two beings are some of the best examples of this, the very creators and masters of their respective lands, and all that extends beyond. They are unmatched in scope and scale by any in their stories, but if the mightiest Pokémon of all clashed against the child of the Emperor Beyond the Sea, who would come out on top? Brace yourselves, for reality itself is merely an extension of the wills of these two titans, and only one supreme being shall emerge the ultimate creator in this DEATH BATTLE!

Background

Arceus

“Welcome to my realm, located beyond both time and space. It is well that thou art here. I am that which humans call Arceus.”

The World of Pokémon - full of dense trees, wide oceans, fiery mountains and lovely skies. It is a diverse world full of wonder and majesty that, for the last 25 years, has been one of the most loved worlds in video games, populated by over 1000 different Pokémon. However, the question remains, who created this world? In 2007, we finally got an introduction to the creator of all things: the Mythical God known as Arceus.

Arceus is the progenitor of all reality in the Pokémon multiverse, having existed since the dawn of creation and created all of the 1000+ Pokémon that are currently known. Most notably, Arceus created three deities that were integral to the creation of reality: Palkia, the Pokémon with control over all space, Dialga, the Pokémon who rules over time, and Giratina, the being in charge of the complete opposite of all matter that exists in the universe, antimatter. After the creation of these three Legendary Pokémon, Arceys would go on to create many more, and after the universe came to be, its true form left this plane of existence, watching over the universe in the form of a weaker avatar.

Everything was peaceful for a time, until Giratina betrayed Palkia and Dialga, and as consequence it was cast into the Distortion World. After this, Arceus took a backseat in the governing of the universe, only interfering if the very fabric of reality were to be threatened, or if there was conflict between the Creation Trio. It rarely interacts with humans, though when Giratina began to influence events in order to bring chaos to the world, it saw no choice but to send a young human to the past in order to stop its machinations. Eventually, with the help of the Pokémon they managed to capture, this human eventually stopped Giratina’s plans. It was then that Arceus offered them a challenge: to defeat it in combat.

The results of this encounter are hazy, but Arceus continued watching over the Pokémon multiverse and all that it had created. With its awesome power and legendary might, few could even match its power. As stated by the legendary book of Pokémon known as Smogon,

“His stats are unrivaled; His versatility is unmatched. His potential remains unlimited. He has transcended beyond typing, for Multitype allows Him to assume any of the seventeen types that He so desires. Even then, His purest forme remains seated upon His throne. Whether wiping His creations from the fabric of existence as Extreme Killer or standing as their resolute guardian by virtue of Wallceus, the God of Pokémon knows no bounds. Dare not incur Arceus's divine wrath, or else the consequences shall be severe and merciless, and life shall become but an evanescent wisp.”

Aslan

"Narnia, Narnia, Narnia, awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters."

Few tales can compare to the scale and magnitude of the very Chronicles of Narnia. Across time they tell tales of heroes, adventures, battles, and eras of wonder to the citizens of the world of Narnia. But across all those tales, across all things in the world, there remains one certain constant that is ever unchanging and ever true. To all those who are good and believe in him, when the day is at its darkest and all hope is lost, all will change for the better at the arrival of the lion. For he is no simple, tame lion. No, he is the son of the Emperor Beyond the Sea, the mightiest of all beasts, the legendary lion known to the people of Narnia as Aslan.

Aslan is the creator of the world of Narnia, who existed when it was empty and dark. In the presence of four humans from Earth (and a horse) he sang a song of creation, breathing life into the world from nothingness and bringing about all that is good. He gave animals the gift of speech and blessed the world with peace and harmony. But all was not right in the land, for there was another who unrightfully came into the world.

Jadis, the White Witch and destroyer of the world of Charn. She attempted to oppose Aslan and his creation to claim it for herself, and so the lion set in motion the events to spell her defeat by ensuring the land was blessed with all it would need to be safe. Setting up a proper kingdom for the denizens of Narnia, he departed for the time, though legends claimed he would return when the time was right to defeat the witch once and for all.

That time would come far in the future of Narnia, when Jadis buried the land in eternal winter and frost. Aslan would eventually come to make all right once more, by setting up four human children from Earth as kings and queens of Narnia. But a problem arose, for one of the four, Edmund, had betrayed the others to Jadis, and was now her rightful property to pay the price of death. To counter the ancient magic put in place against such treason long ago by the Emperor Beyond the Sea, Aslan paid the ultimate price by taking the penalty in Edmund’s stead, willingly allowing himself to taste the bitterness of death at the witch’s hands.

But the witch was undone in that moment, for deeper magic from before time itself existed was at play, and Aslan was soon back in action. The lion undid all her dark work at once, freeing all her prisoners before finally confronting her on the battlefield where she intended to kill all who challenged her. Finally facing off in combat, Aslan effortlessly slew Jadis once and for all, and peace reigned supreme.

From then on, many more tales and stories would be told with Aslan’s involvement. The foiling of an attack on a neighboring country, Archenland, new kings coming to the throne, voyages across an expansive sea, the rescue of a missing prince, and even the end of Narnia itself. All were events that would have taken a turn for the worse, were it not for the divine and benevolent intervention of Aslan himself.

And Aslan would eventually disperse his righteous judgement on all. Those who believed in the lion and those in the ranks of the righteous would finally find eternal rest in Aslan’s Country in the last battle. Peace would never shatter, sorrow never invade, and darkness would never gain so much as a toehold on Aslan’s Country. So let all allies of the righteous take heart. For never a day will come in which evil can truly triumph, for all darkness will be undone once the lion appears to set things right.

Experience & Skill

Arceus

Arceus is the original Pokémon, and the creator of everything throughout the series and the extensive different forms of media. As such, it is obvious that Arceus would be immensely skilled and experienced. As the one who created all things, Arceus should have knowledge and capability of all existing Pokémon moves, giving the creature an outright massive arsenal of powers to choose from. This gives Arceus skill and mastery over many different forms of combat and abilities, with there not really being anything Arceus shouldn’t be capable of.

The Original One’s experience is also remarkable. Just a weakened avatar of Arceus, which was missing plates, was capable of easily walloping all three members of the Creation Trio by itself. This would be dealing with a notable numbers disadvantage, and fighting far from its peak, giving Arceus experience in handling situations that might not always be in its favor and still coming out on top regardless. This also demonstrates that Arceus has defeated beings of enormous power that can similarly threaten multiverses, allowing it to be knowledgeable on how to deal with such forces. Even the giants that previously wielded the Plates would have been defeated by Arceus, making the Original One’s experience very impressive.

In short, Arceus is not to be taken lightly in really any category. The creator’s skill and experience is matched by none in the Pokémon multiverse, and all things should be possible for it. It is also gifted with immense intelligence, exceeding that of all others throughout the series as the creator of them all. There really shouldn’t be any power or skill beyond the grasp and knowledge of Arceus, and the Original One is armed with the experience in battle to back up his powers in an impressive display of ability.

Aslan

As the creator of Narnia and all other worlds, it’s natural that Aslan is armed with remarkable skill and experience in essentially all fields. All spells and powers in the series were created and are known by him, and he has mastery over them all. This even includes the likes of a massive spellbook in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which cannot be turned backward after a page has been turned. Aslan has also been implied to have intervened and acted in all worlds, not just within Narnia. As such, he should have experience handling situations throughout all forms of reality, giving him plenty of experience to rely on for his exploits. With the ability to use essentially any power in existence, Aslan’s skill and ability is formidable, and he is far above any other character in the series.

On top of that, Aslan’s intelligence is also insurmountable. It is quite likely that Aslan possesses total omniscience, being aware of all things in his creation and the many lands he rules. He possesses perfect knowledge that transcends even the laws of time, and is never once caught not knowing something throughout the series. And with this intelligence comes great wisdom, as Aslan has frequently used his knowledge to aid others. Aslan’s advice, when followed, has always resulted in great accomplishments and victory, while the situations where his instructions are ignored tend to be very poor, as best shown in The Silver Chair. Multiple times throughout the story the party fails to heed Aslan’s words, and suffers for it constantly. But the one time they finally do so, the party finds the target of their quest and succeeds in their mission. There really is no limit to Aslan’s knowledge or wisdom, and there are no anti-feats to counter such a claim.

Overall, Aslan is generally just a character unbound by limitations or shortcomings in categories like skill, experience, or intelligence. While he has never fought a foe comparable to him, he has aided heroes throughout time over and over again, and is armed with the knowledge and wisdom to rule all things perfectly. His skill and ability in all things is absolute, fitting for the creator of everything in the series.

Equipment

Arceus

Plates

Arceus carries with it 19 mystical slabs known as Plates, each of which houses the very essence of one of the 18 different Pokémon Types with the only expectation being the Legend Plate which is rather special. These plates, which house the power of giants slain long before the world came into existence, are what bestowed powers to Pokémon, allowing them to use an unprecedented variety of unique moves and abilities. Combined with Arceus’ ability known as Multitype, it allows Arceus unparalleled versatility, as it allows it to change its type as well as the typing of its most powerful move, Judgement. As they are part of its very being, Arceus’ Plates cannot be stolen, knocked away, copied, modified, or canceled.

These Plates even outside of Arceus itself also are quite powerful as Arceus once used the Splash Plate in order to create a massive dome of water. They can also boost a Pokémon's stats as shown when Heatran was boosted immensely after it swallowed the Flame Plate. In fact, the Plates are so powerful that swallowing it caused the Flame Plate to take over Heatran, transforming it into a giant magma monster. Despite this, the Plates desire returning to Arceus, meaning that possessing a Pokémon will lead them to trying to do exactly that, even at the cost of the world around them. In terms of the following 19 Plates are as followed:

Legend Plate: Introduced in Legends: Arceus, this plate allows Arceus to change its type when it is using its signature move, Judgement, into a type that is super-effective against the opposing Pokémon. For example, against a Fire Type, Arceus’ Judgement will most likely turn into a Water Type move.

Aslan

Claws & Teeth

(Don’t worry, he doesn’t kill her. He doesn’t even hurt the horse.)

Aslan’s not a tame lion, after all. Like all lions, Aslan comes armed with your classic claws and teeth, suitable for exactly what you’d think he uses them for. Unsurprisingly for a lion like Aslan though, his skill and precision with his natural weapons far exceeds your average lion. He can swiftly finish off enemies like the White Witch in an instant if he desired, but can also be precise and exact in just how much damage he hands out. As shown above, he was able to carefully dish out a suitable punishment to Aravis for an injustice she had previously committed, while ensuring she would still be alright afterwards and without causing even the slightest harm to Hwin, the horse.

Abilities

Arceus

Moveset

It should be noted that due to being the Creator God of Pokémon, Arceus would likely be capable of using all Pokémon Moves, of which there are currently over 900. However, for the sake of not making half this blog a massive list of every single Pokémon move ever, we have decided to only list the moves Arceus can learn in-game via TM/HM and level up. Rest assured though, all moves are being considered.

Stomping Tantrum: Arceus becomes outraged as it strikes the ground repeatedly, sending splinters flying at the opponent. The power of this move doubles if Arceus’ previous move missed, failed to affect its targets, or was prevented due to a status effect such as paralysis. This move’s power does not double if Arceus’ previous move was protected against by a move such as Protect.

Seismic Toss: Ah, Seismic Toss in all of its feat infamy. This move basically allows the Pokémon to chuck their opponent into outer orbit - at least, that’s how it is presented in recent games. In terms of the actual mechanics of the move, it deals damage equal to the enemy Pokémon’s level, so if it's 99 then it will do 99 damage.
Brick Break: This move allows the Pokémon to remove other Pokémon moves such as Light Screen, Aurora Vale, and Reflect from the opponent's side.
Focus Blast: Infamously known as Focus Miss, this move deals high damage but its accuracy is infamously terrible, as most trainers who have used this move can attest.
Bulk Up: Whilst utilizing this move, it allows the Pokémon to increase its Attack and Defense by one stage.
Body Press: Through slamming the Pokémon’s body onto their opponent, the Pokémon deals damage using the user's Defense stat instead of its Attack stat (doesn’t really matter because Arceus has consistent stats across the board).

Dragon Dance: When a Pokémon uses this move, they do a dance that raises their Attack and Speed stat by one stage each. This move is used a lot by competitive trainers, making many of them fear it.
Outrage: One of the most powerful Dragon Type moves. Arceus goes on a rampage for two or three turns, thrashing about wildly before becoming confused.
Draco Meteor: Arceus fires a large boulder into the air which then bursts apart, raining down comets from the sky at the cost of lowering the user’s Special Attack by two stages.
Roar of Time: Arceus gains access to Dialga’s signature move. Arceus releases a blast from its mouth which distorts time. After using it, Arceus must recharge for one turn.
Spacial Rend: Arceus gains access to Palkia’s signature move. Arceus releases a shockwave which tears apart the space around it. It has a high critical-hit ratio.

Fairy

Arceus can utilize the power of fae magic to deal damage to opponents. Arceus’ fairy attacks can be further enhanced with the Pixie Plate. The Fairy Type moves that Arceus can learn by level up and TM/HM are:

Dazzling Gleam: Arceus unleashes a powerful flash of light which doubles as a projectile to damage the opponent. This attack has a notably wide AoE.
Misty Terrain: Arceus creates a field of fae magic which lasts for five turns. Within this field, the power of Dragon Type moves is halved and Pokémon on the ground are unable to to be inflicted with Confusion, as well as non-volatile status conditions such as Burns, Freezing, Frostbite, Paralysis, Poison, Sleep, and Drowsiness.

Creation

Arceus is the creator of all things, shaping the universe and all things within it.

The Eternal Battle Reverie has Arceus creating various Pokémon to challenge Rei / Akari, including Unown and legendaries such as the Creation Trio and Lake Trio. In the Sinjoh Ruins event, Arceus summons Unown and then creates a new Creation Trio egg. In the Adventures comics, Arceus summons the Unown to Sinjoh Ruins before seemingly sacrificing them to create the new Creation Trio, as the Unown simply disappear suddenly.

Law Manipulation

Arceus created the very laws that bind reality and can freely manipulate them as it pleases.

Time Manipulation

Dialga, who holds dominion over the concept of time, is merely an extension of Arceus’ own being. Dialga’s very existence birthed time itself across the multiverse. Arceus has even demonstrated its superiority over the concept compared to Dialga, as it was able to stop a wave of spatial distortion that the combined power of the Creation Trio was incapable of halting.

This means the creation, destruction, and warping of time are at its command, allowing Arceus to slow down, speed up, reverse (even to the beginning of time), or even stop time. Dialga has also demonstrated the ability to send beings across time (or time travel itself) as well as negate others’ ability to time travel by outright shattering their path of travel, create conditional temporal loops (restarting whenever Giratina tried to escape the Distortion Realm, forcing it to find an alternate method to escape), revitalize the frozen and decayed future, and restore those that were erased from time. When an injured Dialga appeared in the Almia region, time began rapidly distorting around it.

This also allows Arceus to manipulate the age of mortals, as one time while fighting against Palkia, Dialga was passively producing particles of light which were over time able to reverse the age of beings they came into contact with, causing Pokémon to forget moves they knew as well as eventually de-evolve and regress into eggs, blooming flowers to regress to buds, and humans to deage several years. Dialga could also fire lasers that perform these same effects instantly, even destroying armor that was specifically designed to resist these effects. Dialga and Palkia fix this by sucking up the particles from both worlds, which then restores the victims to their original states.

Space Manipulation

Palkia, who holds dominion over the concept of space, is merely an extension of Arceus’ own being. Palkia’s very existence birthed space itself across the multiverse and, alongside Giratina, formed matter. Arceus has even demonstrated its superiority over the concept compared to Palkia, as it was able to stop a wave of spatial distortion that the combined power of the Creation Trio was incapable of halting, and Arceus was capable of breaking free from Palkia's distorted space even in the absence of the Draco Plate.

This means the creation, destruction, and warping of space are all at its command, allowing Arceus to restore erased matter, warp entire cliffsides, or shatter reality like glass with Spatial Rend. Palkia can warp the environment around it to change it between different regions, create a fog to send people running back in the direction they came from, or outright teleport entities to different locations. Palkia shatters a dimensional hole being used for transportation, warping the individual inside to an unknown place and time. When an injured Palkia appeared in the Almia region, space began rapidly distorting around it, causing doorways and stairwells to suddenly transport people to different entrances across the region, with some doorways even leading to pathways in the middle of forests or to cave entrances.

The Creation Trio simply manifesting creates spatial distortions across a tower which cuts off wireless transmissions

During its fight with Dialga in Alamos Town, Palkia’s spatial distortions started causing the spirits of sleeping Pokémon to pop up around town, running around freely as if they were being chased by nightmares. Lickilicky's nightmares caused the Baron to transform into a Lickilicky as well.

Portal Creation

While being forced to fight Dialga, Palkia randomly opens portals between dimensions. Giratina tore open the rift in space-time in Legends Arceus, opening a portal to immeasurable other dimensions. Giratina can tear open portals within any reflective surface. Cyrus uses the Red Chain, which hosts Arceus’ power, to tear open portals and forcefully summon Dialga and Palkia. Even Pokémon possessed by the Plates can open space-time gates to Arceus' realm.

Antimatter Manipulation

Giratina, who holds dominion over the concept of antimatter, is merely an extension of Arceus’ own being. Giratina’s very existence birthed space itself across the multiverse and, alongside Palkia, formed matter.

Giratina traveling through a portal to Spear Pillar from the Distortion Realm physically warped the world around it. Giratina can use its power to produce shadowy puddles, whether to use as obstacles, attacks, or simply to cover itself in, as well as shadowy constructs such as spears. This also allows it to turn entire locations pitch black or trap beings within crystalized antimatter.

Existence Erasure

Could erase a sky full of clouds. Volo planned to use Arceus’ power to instantly erase the world. During one of their fights, Dialga and Palkia were passively erasing Alamos Town, eventually reaching the point they would erase the entire dimension, while in another they were going to erase the universe outright.

Mind & Soul Manipulation

Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, who hold dominion over the concepts of knowledge, emotion, and willpower respectively, are merely an extension of Arceus’ own being. Following the Creation Trio’s creation of time, space, and matter, they came forth to create the Heart / Spirit. Heart, Spirit, and Mind are all used when describing the Lake Trio’s contributions, but they all refer to the Lake Trio bestowing life with consciousness; the ability for living beings to exist and perceive reality. Cyrus, while controlling Dialga and Palkia, was going to use them to rid his new world of Spirit.

Uxie is said to be able to wipe the memories of those who see its eyes. Mesprit is said to throw the emotions of any who disrespect it into disarray. Azelf is said to manipulate the will of its adversaries to turn them into puppets. The Lake Trio can astrally project their souls to roam around the world of the living.

Telepathy

Arceus normally talks through telepathy, though it can also use this to share its memories with people. The Lake Trio call out to Ash, Brock, and Dawn while in pain. The Creation Trio have the ability Telepathy, which allows them to avoid damage from ally attacks.

Madness Inducement

Arceus’ Plates are too powerful for anyone other than the rightful bearer to wield properly, causing Pokémon to start going berserk when exposed to magnetic field produced from Team Galactic’s experiments with the Flame Plate as well as ultimately corrupting Heatran’s Flash Fire ability when exposed to the Plate’s full power and transforming it into a giant, berserk monster after swallowing it. In Pokémon Conquest, those that sought out Arceus’ power ended up losing their minds. The spacetime rift created by Giratina causes the Noble Pokémon to become frenzied.

Resistance to Mind Manipulation

Arceus was able to push back the telepathic communications of Sheena and Damos, which transcends time and space and could even soothe the Creation Trio.

Dream Manipulation

The Eternal Battle Reverie, an infinite trial set up by Arceus for Rei/Akari, exists within the player’s dreams, allowing them to gain experience as well as items which then carry over into the real world. The Lake Trio communicate with Ash, Brock, and Dawn through their dreams, before the Red Chain captures them from that dream.

Power Manipulation

Power Bestowal: Arceus can bestow blessings upon Pokémon, creating Noble Pokémon who possess great strength as well as an inability to be caught. Arceus bestowed some of humanity with psychic powers, with Ghris’ family in Arche Valley using it to instantly grow plants, create telekinetic fields, and seal away Hoopa’s power. Enhanced Rei / Akari’s phone to become the Arc Phone.

Power Absorption: Arceus' Plates received their power from Arceus infusing the power of slain giants into them. Flash Fire Heatran absorbed energy from the space-time gate it opened, greatly enhancing its strength.

Power Negation: By activating one of its Plates through Multitype, Arceus can nullify attacks of that type. The TCG gives Arceus the ability First Law, which prevents all non-damage effects being dealt to Arceus, as well as the move Metal Barrier, which prevents all effects, including damage, being dealt to Arceus by LV.X Pokémon for one turn.

Resistance Negation: Arceus can inflict status effects upon Pokémon that would normally be immune due to typing. Pokémon Conquest’s “Omniscience and Omnipotence” as well as Pokémon Battle Trozei’s “Brute Force” give Arceus the power to deal normal damage regardless of the target’s resistance. The TCG gives Arceus the move Fastwave, which ignores Resistances, Poke-Powers, and Poke-Bodies that would reduce the damage taken.

(The TCG cards are considered to be in-verse pages of encyclopedia by Game Director Atsushi Nagashima, which is supported by James using the TCG in place of a Pokedex during Bad to the Bone and Pearls are a Spoink’s Best Friend, as well as the Ancient Mew card being part of Lawrence III’s, an avid Pokémon and artifact collector, collection. Admittedly, the TCG should still be taken with a grain of salt due to many elements existing solely within the TCG and not the greater world.)

Sealing & BFR

Banished Giratina to the Distortion Realm. Arceus dragged Purple Eyes with it to its world. Ghris’ family in Arche Valley used Arceus’ blessing to seal away Hoopa’s power. Giratina uses its antimatter to ensnare Dialga and Palkia.

Life Manipulation & Healing

Can instantly revitalize a Pokémon's HP or PP or take away part of a Pokémon’s max HP. Created a wave of light which instantly revitalized Giratina, as well as Dialga and Palkia who had been rendered unconscious by Arceus prior. Fused five of its plates into the Jewel of Life to give life to a valley. Dialga used its power over time to revitalize the frozen and decayed future. Pokémon Conquest’s “Omniscience and Omnipotence” heals Arceus slowly over time.

Energy Manipulation

In an attack resembling Judgement, Arceus can fire out eight beams of energy from above its head. However, it can also summon these beams from outside the screen, waving across the field, creating thick walls of energy, creating four beams to close in on the arena, or creating a wave of beams across the screen. Arceus can also fire off a barrage of energy spheres, summon energy pillars from the ground either in singular lines, multiple lines, or randomly across the stage, fire massive beams of energy from its mouth, or create dark spheres to circle around itself.

Telekinesis

After a cave starts collapsing, Arceus emits a light which catches everything that's falling before repairing the cave and lifting the humans and Pokémon back to where they'd been standing, followed by freeing the Pokémon of their harnesses.

Forcefield Creation

With the power of all Plates, Arceus can create force fields around itself and others. Arceus can manifest its rage as a protective wall of light around itself.

Meteor Summoning

Arceus can call down a barrage of large meteors. Truly the bane to movie Arceus.

Aslan

Creation Song

Aslan is the creator of all things in reality within the Narnia series. And he comes with his own preferred way of creation, through song. Aslan’s music is able to create anything he so desires out of total nothingness, even bringing concepts like space, life, and time into being. One can actually hear what he is creating at any given point in his song, and it is said to be immensely beautiful to hear, unless you have a wicked heart (or you interpret the song as this). As the creator of all realities, Aslan has likely used this power an innumerable amount of times, but the best known example is when he brought life into the land of Narnia and all within it, transforming a previously empty void of nothingness into a beautiful world.

Omniscience

Fitting for the creator, Aslan is armed with total knowledge of all things in Narnia and beyond. He is perfectly aware of the individual “stories” of all living beings not only in the world of Narnia itself, but also the worlds outside of Narnia, such as Earth. This also comes with exact knowledge of the future down to the smallest details. Multiple times throughout the series Aslan has known exactly how to handle a problem perfectly, and accurately stated what will happen in the future. As such, Aslan is armed with total and detailed knowledge of all things in the past, present, and future in all worlds and realities.

Transfiguration

As shown in the image above, Aslan was able to grow wings on a regular Earth horse. Furthermore, Aslan was the one who granted the inhabitants of Narnia the ability to speak, and while it’s debatable as to whether that’s a matter of magic or physical transformation, it’s more likely that he simply gave all of the creatures vocal chords. Additionally, Aslan has turned a man into a donkey.

Restoration

Aslan has countered and undone many dark spells in the series, a good chunk of which involved restoring a victim. Likely the best known example would be in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, where Aslan was shown to be capable of undoing the White Witch’s petrification. He used this power to heal everyone she had turned to stone, including figures like Mr. Tumnus. This extends to other forms of magic as well, such as for when a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb (and he almost deserved the name) was transformed into a dragon, Aslan undid this transformation. As such, it is likely Aslan can negate and heal all manners of transmutation or powers that bring negative physical effects onto a target.

Invisibility

While Aslan generally does not actively hide himself, there have been times he might opt to turn invisible. He used this to converse with Shasta unseen in The Horse and His Boy, before finally revealing himself after Shasta came to understand the truth behind Aslan’s previous actions. In Prince Caspian, he was also unable to be seen by three of the four Pevensie children or their dwarf companion, only revealing himself to Lucy to guide them until they reached their destination.

Shapeshifting

Unsurprisingly, Aslan can take any form he pleases. His preferred form is that of a lion though, but he can adjust or shift it however he likes. His size has been noted to change significantly throughout the series, sometimes being a decently normal size and other times being enormous. His Lion form has even been shown to do things anatomically impossible for a normal lion. Like clapping, throwing and catching people in his paws or holding a sword.

He has also taken the form of a regular cat, generally in order to provide quiet and peaceful comfort to others. Outside of his feline forms he can also appear as a lamb, generally for calm and relaxed visits. There was also the time he turned into a bird during The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Weather Manipulation

Aslan's return to Narnia ended the Long Winter, melting the snow and thawing the lakes and rivers, allowing the return of Father Christmas so he can once again grace the good boys and girls of Narnia with gifts. Oh and I guess the sudden onset of spring for the first time in about a hundred years is important too.

Nature Creation & Manipulation

Aslan due to being a creator deity, he is responsible for creating the nature of the world. This comes of course with full control over nature itself, which Aslan has used in many different ways. An obvious example would be Aslan’s annihilation of the White Witch’s eternal winter, negating her frozen domain and bringing spring to Narnia for the first time in many years. He can also utilize other natural forces to his advantage, such as controlling rivers and helping direct trees. In the animated adaptation of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan had flowers grow or bloom under his feet.
