SKILLS

Spear Proficiency: Through her many years of training, Pearl can summon her weapon, a pearlescent spear. Pearl is very skilled in the art of spear-wielding and follows her fighting pattern which involves formal (ballet) dance. She moves gracefully and quickly, striking with grace and poise. She remains calm and confident during hand-to-hand battles, duels, and skirmishes. Pearl is also very skilled at throwing her spear. This was proven in "Giant Woman" and "A Day at the Beach". As of "Bismuth", Pearl's spear has been upgraded to be able to transform into a trident. Dual Wielding: Pearl is capable of wielding two spears in battle, implying that she is ambidextrous. Energy Projection: Pearl can fire arrow-shaped energy blasts from the tip of her spear. This can be done as a rapid fire or charged to unleash a more powerful blast. In attacking light, this ability is referred to as "fireball". It is implied in "Bismuth" that this ability may have been developed some time after the title character was bubbled by Rose. Swordsmanship: Pearl possesses knowledge and skill with a sword. For one-on-one combat, Pearl's preferred weapon is a straight-bladed saber. Pearl's parries are tight and minimalist; her offense is a pattern specific to the environment. This pattern consists of thrusts, jabs, and horizontal slashes. Engineering: On several occasions, Pearl has demonstrated a high level of skill in mechanical engineering, ranging from reverse engineering Robonoids to building a combat-ready robot in no time. She also built a rocket in an attempt to leave Earth, proving herself capable of competing with "expert" mechanics such as Peridot. Photokinesis: Pearl can use her gemstone to illuminate dark places. Garnet, Eye, Mistress, Peridot, and the Rutile Twins share the same ability.

UNIQUE SKILLS

Holographic Projection: Pearl can project holographic images from her gemstone, which she primarily uses as a visual aid when tutoring Steven. While most holograms appear intangible, some, such as Holo-Pearl, can interact with solid matter. Additionally, holograms can function without Pearl's presence for up to two weeks, implying that her holograms can live independently. In "Chille Tid", it is shown that Pearl's dreams are projected as holograms while she sleeps. Self-Duplication: In addition to Holo-Pearls, which are projected through her gemstone, Pearl can also replicate herself multiple times into hologram-esque clones of herself, as seen in "A Day at the Beach". Geokinesis: Pearl is shown manipulating a small amount of sand to create figures in "Giant Woman". It is currently unknown how much sand she can control at one time. This ability has only been shown once so far. Uranokinesis: In "Sworn to the Sword", Pearl can channel clouds into fog, reducing visibility and able to dissipate in the direction of her choosing, being able to gather clouds around the arena to create a mishmash. However, it is unknown if she can do this in other locations. Additionally, in "Mister Greg", Pearl forms clouds into portraits of herself, Rose, and Greg during the song "Is This It, Over?", though this may have been for dramatic effect and not her manipulating the clouds. Interdimensional Storage: Pearl can store objects within a dimension in her gemstone, including other gemstones and humans. This ability was shown in "Lars and the Cool Kids", "Mirror Gem", "Sworn to the Sword", and "Familiar", but was most notably used in "A Single Pale Rose", where Pearl asks Steven to enter her gemstone to retrieve her cell phone.
