Talk:Nigh Omnipotence/@comment-184.91.97.175-20120527022525

To sort of continue to see if there is any real difference between Nigh Omnipotence and Reality Warping, I'm curious...what level of reality warping do Nigh-Omnipotents, even the weakest, have? There are all sorts of Reality Warpers, from weak ones to strong ones...I can understand if Reality Warpers are essentially Nigh-Omnipotents, but here's the thing - if a weak N-OP is stronger then, say, a strong Warper...then this changes.

I mean, this website says that N-OP's can warp reality on a "near-universal scale"; I have a feeling that was just pulled out of nowhere, but it still makes a point...how powerful on the reality-warping abilities of someone categorized as a Nigh-Omnipotent....if there is a concise difference, that sends a message.

I guess the important thing to remember is that, unlike Omnipotent beings, a Nigh-Omnipotent isn't necessarily (just) a state-of-being, but also a power...so a regular person may find an artifact that grants them nigh-omnipotent power, like a Cosmic Cube or the Infinity Gauntlet...that's alot easier to swallow then if it were omnipotent. The point is, it's not necessarily a fixed state, so they could make themselves weaker or stronger if they choose too and if their powers allows it.

Maybe a strong Warper can match up to a weak N-OP...who knows - I feel both terms still very mesh together even though I still think there is an important distinction regardless of how strong a character of either type is...Warpers start out "raw" and have to imagine what they want first, whereas N-OP's like Lucifer supposedly already have all their power (so they aren't necessarily too reliant on warping since they already have basically any ability they could want)...they could however make themselves weaker the same way a Warper could make themselves stronger (depending on their power of course).
