The Omnipotent One wrote: DYBAD isn't right. Author cannot be beyond concept of Omnipotence, it's just human! Your argument is flawed.

True an author is merely human. In the physical world he is but a limited creature capable of feats that are vastly small and insignificant when compared to the universe. However that limited existence is more than what fictional omnipotence can ever hope for.

*An author can easily take fictional omnipotence and bestow it on any character of his choosing (provided he has the authority over them).

*An author can also do the reverse and remove such status from a character (something that has been done in fiction already e.g comic book retcon and such).

*An author can also explicitly define the very scope of fictional omnipotence by stating which story, comic book, manga, etc it belongs to.

I fail to see how such a purely conjectural thing like fictional omnipotence can be beyond the very people who can casualy use them in their own literary work if it befits their need. In that regard would you care to enlighten me?

How is it beyond the author when it is he who decides?

Or are you saying Omnipotence is real and that is why it is beyond mere humans?
