Also Called[]
- Netherworld/Purgatory/Underworld-Immunity/Proof/Proffness
- Hell/Netherworld/Purgatory/Underworld Durability/Cancellation/Imperviousness/Invulnerability/Insulation/Nullification/Protection/Tolerance
Capabilities[]
Users of this power are immune to Hell and its punishments, either by being directed banished from the realm entirely or via obtaining a pact or item that allows one to completely bypass Hell and its torments regardless of one's evil actions in life.
Applications[]
- Immunity
- Karma Manipulation; by definition users of this are often quite literal examples of karma houdinis, capable of fending off their otherwise inevitable Damnation.
- Afterlife Manipulation; via either outright banishing one from Hell entirely or allowing instant access to higher realms, regardless of worth.
- Damnation; may still feel some discomfort but are largely immune to lasting demonic harm, may even be sufficient to block Penance Stare.
Associations[]
- Absolute Immortality
- Salvation; the ability to retrieve, save, and restore souls.
Limitations[]
- Does not always secure protection from other forms of Eternal Torment Inducement.
- A common theme is such a power comes at a heavy price (often a type of eternal curse), making the user a perpetual wanderer (sometimes even banishes them from any sort of afterlife).
- Does not prevent soul erasure, mutilation or banishment (indeed may accelerate such processes, depending on verse).
- Immunity Bypassing/Negation.
- Heaven may be able to counter this.
- May not last forever.
