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

• Infusion
• Non-Physical Interaction

Associations

• Power Negation

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.
• Weak against Ultimate Intangibility.
