I suppose semi-sentience could work too, so long as the object is smart enough to follow orders properly and not turn back on the user. Like animated/empathic weapons for example : not quite sentient per see, but enough to serve well and loyally.

On the other hand, this "entity" focus of Meta Summoning is rooted into the true, original nature of summoning, which is about calling upon otherworldly beings to perform favors or services for the user. The object side that was later added by popular series like Fate Stay Night and Fairy Tail (primarily armors and weapons) is very cool and practical, but ultimately closer to a pocket arsenal and straying pretty far from the true essence of sumoning into pure utilitarism territory.

Good question. Since the user can summon anything, any powerlevel should be accessible. The sublety about Omnipotence is it complete lack of restrictions, while summoned entities come inherently restricted by their obedience and loyalty to the Meta Summoner. So if he was to summon an omnipotent entity, said entity would technically no longer qualify as a true Omnipotent, since while their powers themselves remain the same, the *use* of their powers would be limited by their obedience/loyalty to the meta summoner.

In short : the entity wouldn't be "truly" Omnipotent (has to obey and protect the user), but still every bit as powerful in practice.

Thank you very much for your appreciation :) That's the mindset I had when creating the powers : make them as cool and useful as possible, each in their own unique way.

This kind of recipe leads to some classics we always end up drawn back to ^ ^
