Power of the Verse
Most characters range from Human Level to Small Building level, including the protagonist Harry Dresden for the most part. However, there are several stronger characters including Queen Mab, Queen Titania, Mother Winter and Mother Summer, all of whom scale above or way way above Ebenezer McCoy who caused the 200 megaton (Mountain level) eruption of Krakatoa. There are also even stronger beings such as Dragons like Ferovax who used to change seasons and continents and cause ice ages. The Archangels are the current strongest beings to appear, being directly stated to be able to annihilate galaxies. There is also the White God who is directly superior to the Archangels, putting him above them, but to what extent is unknown.
The verse also lacks speed and durability, aside from the stronger characters. As said previously most characters are Small Building level or lower. The verse also has a lot of weaknesses for its characters, as most of the monsters in the series come from the real world and take their weaknesses with them.
But the series also has a decent amount of hax abilities, such as a limited form of pseudo-omniscience called intellectus, essentially being able to think about something and receiving an answer, but this is usually limited to the top tiers of the series, such as the Mothers and Archangels, and those at a lower tier have much more limited version that only answers more specific questions. That aside, there are other hax abilities, such as being able to see through any illusion through the Sight; which allows the wielder to see the true form of anything, entropy manipulation, probability manipulation, death manipulation, soul manipulation, mind manipulation and many more.
