Often principles such as 'like calls to like' are used to explain Grisha power, and most Grisha see their powers as "extensions" of the natural world which is why they don't call their power "magic" but instead Small Science. For example, Inferni cannot produce fire but can manipulate naturally occurring combustible gases, and Durasts do not create metal: rather, they simply have the ability to alter it.
A kefta is a garment that is worn by Grisha in the Ravkan Second Army. The color of a Grisha's kefta is determined by their Grisha order, and the color of the embroidery on the cuffs and hems signifies the wearer’s specific abilities, or their Grisha type within the order.
Kefta are described as long, nearly-floor-length robes that somewhat resemble coats. The garment consists of several panels of fabric and is secured with hidden buttons on the wearer’s front.

Orders and grisha types that fall under them :
Heartrenders are Grisha of the Corporalki order. They can use their power to damage a person's internal organs. Their ability ranges from slowing a person's pulse to snatching the air from their lungs. The target must be in their line of sight. They are feared by other Grisha and considered the most valuable soldiers. Their kefta colors are red with black embroidery.
Heartrenders manipulate the body on a molecular level, usually with harmful affects.
Lungs: They can take the air out of a person's lungs and keep them breathing as long as they're in the Heartrender's influence. Heart: They're are able to induce heart attacks, slow breathing to the point that someone goes unconscious or quicken the heartbeat to dangerous speeds. Hampering Healing: They can slow the healing process, rather than quicken it. Influencing Emotions: By encouraging the release of certain chemicals in the body, Heartrenders can influence a person's emotions.
Healers are Grisha of the Corporalki class who can use their powers to heal others. They can mend bones, heal wounds, etc they wear a red kefta with white embroidery
Tailoring is a Corporalki ability to change a person's appearance. Tailors were once considered rare and special; however, in Ravka, tailoring is now taught to all Corporalki students of the Second Army. Genya Safin was the First Tailor and was considered a low-level Grisha who served the Queen of Ravka before the Ravkan civil war.
Tailors can also change a person's eyes and hair if they have the right material, or take away or give a tattoo. They wear a red kefta with green embroidery
Squallers are Grisha of the Etherealki Order. They can manipulate the wind by raising or lowering air pressure to fill a ship's sails or to move objects. In the Second Army they wear blue keftas with silver embroidery.
Squallers are able to manipulate air pressure in order to hurl objects or people through the air in combat. Additionally, Squaller power was utilized by Sturmhond to propel his flying ships in Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising.
Squaller power can also be used to create acoustic anomalies, such as one used by Zoya Nazyalensky in Ruin and Rising and later the other Squallers who follow Alina Starkov. This allows sound to travel farther and more distinctly, or masks sound altogether.
Summoning lightning is also a trick that Squallers can perform. However, they were not permitted to use this ability in the Darkling’s Second Army due to the unpredictability of its nature, remarked upon by both Alina Starkov in the Shadow and Bone trilogy and Sturmhond in the Six of Crows duology. Although it is unclear whether or not Squallers are now trained in this technique under the leadership of the Grisha Triumvirate, Zoya Nazyalensky summons and utilizes lightning in Crooked Kingdom in order to restart a boy’s heart.
Inferni are Grisha of the Etherealki Order. They can manipulate fire by gathering combustible particles of substances like methane or hydrogen, but they need a spark to start the fire.
In the Second Army, they wear a blue kefta with red embroidery.
Tidemakers are Grisha of the Etherealki Order. Their abilities make them capable of manipulating water. In the Second Army they wear blue keftas with pale blue embroidery
Shadows Summoners are a rare and powerful class of Grisha. Their power is shown in their ability to manipulate darkness and shadows. In Shadow and Bone, Alina described Baghra's power as inky pool of darkness in her hands, which then she, as well as her son, can shape into tendrils or waves of darkness, and in some cases, darkness can be made into the Cut, a lethal ability that uses shadows or darkness to create a slicing effect on the target they wear a blue kefta with Black embroidery.
Sun Summoners are Grisha of the Etherealki Order. They have the ability to bend and summon light. They where a blue kefta with gold embroidery.
Durasts are Grisha of the Materialki order. Because Alkemi and Durasts often share their workspace and do similar work, they usually aren't distinguished and only called Fabrikators.
Durasts wear purple keftas with gray embroidery
They can manipulate glass, steel, wood, plants, stone or anything solid on a molecular level. This ranges from changing a solid's shape, texture or composition. They can make flowers bloom, remove an object's pigment, move objects without touching them and even absorb harmful matter from another person's body into their own.
Alkemi are Grisha of the Materialki order. They specialize in chemicals like blasting powders and poisons. Because Alkemi and Durasts often share their workspace and do similar work, they usually aren't distinguished and only called Fabrikators.
