The ability to bypass/negate the intangibility or fluid-like nature of beings in order to deal damage to them. Variation of Power Negation.
Also Called
- Fluidity Bypassing/Ignoring/Cancellation/Negation
- Intangibility Bypassing/Ignoring/Negation
- Hilbert Effect (Xenosaga)
Capabilities
The user can bypass/negate the Intangibility or fluid-like nature of beings to deal damage to them. This ability allows the user to harm beings with a fluid-like, gas-like, or any other malleable form that normally would allow them to be unharmed by conventional physical attacks. This bypass can also be transferred/imbued into objects such as weapons to assist the user in combat.
Applications
Associations
Limitations
- May need to make direct physical contact with the opponent to deal damage.
- Since the intangibility is the only aspect of the opponent's power that is bypassed, the opponent can still retaliate normally, and can also still physically evade attacks in a conventional manner.
- May not be able to use this ability if it is overused, requiring a short period of rest.
- May be weak against Ultimate Intangibility.
