It is capable of causing all living organisms in his vicinity to rot and decay. Their limbs discolor to black and start cracking, blood stops flowing, the heart stops beating and entire vitality expires from the body, with the target collapsing under their own weight. Simply put, it's the ability to poison the entire surroundings.

The Beri'ah of Beatrice Kirscheisen, which he obtained after he absorbed a fraction of Beatrice's soul upon her death.
This allows Cain to gain the properties of lightning, becoming intangible and moving at the speed of lightning in addition to using his previous ability of Kai's. Though after Kai and Beatrice split during Kei's Route, Tubal Cain lost this ability.
Trivia[]
He is named after תּוּבַל קַיִן (Tū́ḇal Qáyin) the decendent of Cain, born of Lamech and Zillah, mentioned in Genesis 4:22, along with the sēfer hayyāšār (Book of Jasher), where he is known as the first blacksmith. He is known as "forger of all instruments of bronze and iron" and "instructor of every artificer in brass and iron".
In the Antiquities of the Jews, an extrabiblical Greek source, he is labled such: "Tubal exceeded all men in strength, and was very expert and famous in martial performances, ... and first of all invented the art of working brass.".
This connection with Blacksmiths and all forms of Artificing is fitting with Musashi's profession, of what he was famous for. Though it has little connection to the beast he devolved into.
