* Power Limitation: It is unknown how his magical strength level compares with his cousin Zatanna. However, it is weaker since he states he can not affect human beings--although he can affect doves, suggesting he cannot affect complex organisms.
* Sorcery: Like other members of the Zatara family, Zachary is able to manipulate magic by speaking spells backwards. So far, his powers have been shown to affect inanimate objects, summon simple objects into existence, and transmogrify one object to another.
