Removing memory pages causes a significant decrease in body mass. Can remove and bestow senses such as the ability to see), Status Effect Inducement via Mind Manipulation (Can control his targets with a write-in command), Morality Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Information Analysis (Of past and future events), Fate Manipulation (Heavily implied to have sent Cheap Trick to hell by writing that he will go there when he was taken by the ghostly hands)

So skilled, Rohan is capable of drawing 19 sketches in one night and even draw signatures in coffee with no drop or splash before a person can finish talking. This talented skill in drawing is what also enables Rohan to put it to good use with his Stand, allowing those who become "mesmerized" by his drawings to have them fall under his Stand's effect and allow him to do as pleased. Though this method fails due to his encounter with an enraged Josuke, this inspired Rohan to better himself as a result of his encounter with the latter and Koichi, showing his Stand abilities development by being able to draw the air to manifest it with some training to further training to manifest it without having to draw.

His Stand, Heaven's Door
Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]
Heaven's Door: Heaven's Door is a small, white-and-gold humanoid Stand with a hat consisting of mostly outlines. Sometimes, Heaven's Door's body is entirely composed of outlines. Heaven's Door acts when Rohan's target sees it or an image of it drawn by him, which he can make in mid-air, with a pen or with his finger. It can also affect multiple targets with its abilities.
- Book Transmutation: Heaven's Door's basic ability is to incapacitate and turn people into books with pages revealing detailed and absolutely true facts on everything the person knows, from memories to their body measurements, secrets, and their abilities. Heaven's Door is also effective on animals, ghosts, and the undead, but dying targets seem to gradually lose their pages.
- Write-In Command: Rohan writes into the pages of people to create artificial memories, or make highly effective commands. Rohan's target will always obey the commands written, whether them being against their will or humanly impossible. Rohan can write commands for himself despite not being able to read them. He can also add capabilities to a person (for instance, "is fluent in Italian") and has claimed that he could destroy a person's Stand by writing the proper command in them. Due to his experience with artistry and making tight deadlines, Rohan can write the command with remarkable speed.
- It has been shown before that Rohan does not need to physically write in commands or touch a person to activate these abilities. In Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Episode 7: Monday Sunshower, he could rewrite two separate minds while people were gathering in train tracks.
- Memory Removal: Removing pages causes his target to lose any memories detailed there, along with a proportionate quantity of body mass. If too many pages are removed, they can die from the ill effects.

Notes[]
1) Rohan at the beginning of DiU is restricted to using images of his Stand to induce his book transmutation ability. By the end, Rohan is able to manifest his Stand in mid-air whilst also allowing him to induce the same ability with just a point of his fingers due to training his abilities with his Stand. Later in his one-shots, Rohan is seen using his Stand ability through thought alone. Thus, one must specify what point in time Rohan is when using him.
