Non-Lethal Damage

The inability to kill another living creature.

Capabilities
User can pretty much throw caution to the wind and do anything or utilize any ability without the otherwise lethal consequences of their actions. It must be clarified that the user is still able to damage an organism and cause them physical pain; just not kill them. This power is also distinct from Immortality Bestowal because the subject being active upon is not or made immortal by coming in contact with the user; the user is merely unable to kill the subject.

If this is a conscious ability, the user can select then whom their actions are lethal towards.

Applications

 * Mercilessly brutal torture: user may still be able to inflict pain on others without actually killing him.
 * Perform life-saving surgery on a subject that, ironically, would have likely killed them in any other circumstance and very painful regardless.

Associations

 * Pain Inducement
 * Cartoon Physics/Fun Lord

Limitations

 * Power may be active all the time without the user’s volition; making it impossible for the user to perform, say, a mercy killing without a third party.
 * If the user's control over this power is not a passive one, then the user might kill someone unwittingly.
 * Power may not stop user from mutilating someone or crippling them for life, unless this power is coupled with healing.
 * Cartoon laws may apply and user may only be unable, or arguably worse, able to kill when it's funny, in a dark humorous way.
