Capabilities[]

The user, either innately or through training, is a master of escapology, allowing them to easily escape all manner of bonds, holds, and captivity, making it difficult to hold the user (depending on the means).

They can intuitively escape by any means and in the most effective ways possible, use anything at hand to do so and, have no mental/emotional issues or moral dilemmas either before, during or after the deed. Users can perfectly and without a single flaw or mistake, know how to escape anything, whenever they want with zero effort.

This is the ultimate escaping mechanism, since the user will automatically escape with perfect skill, technique and timing. The users full and complete mastery in escapology and anything related to escapology makes the user the ultimate escapologist.
