I think he meant things like Complete Arsenal which is in fact a variation of omnipotence. Nigh omnipotence is lesser than any and all variations of all omnipotent things.

Nigh Omnipotence is just Omnipotence with at least one limitation, which makes it a variation. (Most other variations also have a catch, so they're not truly omnipotent.) Regardless, anything that is just "Omnipotence minus X" is a lazy answer, because it still refers to Omnipotence and doesn't address the core issue.

There are two questions we need to consider here:

1. What limitations does a power need before it ceases to be "Nigh Omnipotent"?

2. What is the next-greatest power(s) below Nigh Omnipotence?

In my comment above, I argue that the cut-off is between Super Weights 6 and 7.

Weight 7 is "Author Weight". Characters in this weight class can do anything or almost anything, just like the author of the story -- they are omnipotent-level by default.

Weight 6 is "Cosmic Weight". Characters in this weight class are just extremely powerful, on par with Cosmic Entities. I would put Absolute Condition and Power Manifestation at the top of this class. Both powers can do just about anything, but Absolute Condition can only do it physically, and Power Manifestation can only do it by manipulation. Essentially, you break Nigh Omnipotence into a physical component and a manipulative component, and you get those two powers.
