Capabilities
The user wields supreme power, but they have some form of limitation/weakness that limits them from becoming truly omnipotent. They may be absolute in specific fields or may achieve an almost infinite number of effects across all fields with their near-omnipotent skills.
Despite being limited, the user still possesses an unimaginable level of power at their will. Depending on the series, the user's power may or may not backfire or drive them insane. Nigh-Omnipotence has various types: Some users are created outright with it and can innately learn their powers like breathing. Some users are bestowed and require extra training to know fully about it. Some users may be sealed/fused with it and need to realize what their power is, and some users gain this by supernatural means and can master this with ease.
Morality of Nigh-Omnipotence is free than most, if not all, insane abilities. Also, Nigh-Omnipotence is not well-demonstrated in fictional stories, movies, or TV series. This way, Nigh-Omnipotent beings can be good, evil, neutral, hero, villain, anti-hero, anti-villain, criminal, trickster, mad scientist, black magician, chaotic, tyrant, madman, psychopath, or anything else imaginable. Any morality is possible as long as the ability is Nigh-Omnipotence.
Nigh-Omnipotence and Omnipotence are almost similar in every way. Between the two, one is a state of all-power and the other a state of near-limitless power.
It ranges from the lowest level to the highest level: some users can do anything but are limited to certain spatial/temporal/dimensional areas; other users are absolutely invincible, immortal, invulnerable and have no weaknesses but they can't do something in a particular way, have limited powers or can't affect something. No matter how powerful the user is, they will always be limited to certain things.
While the user isn't truly omnipotent, they still possess many high-end abilities including but not limited to: Absolute Force Manipulation, Absolute Psionics, Absolute Will, Nigh-Complete Arsenal, Psionic Godhood, Physical Godhood, Nigh-Absolute Immortality, Nigh-Omnipresence, Nigh-Omniscience, Omniverse Manipulation and Reality Warping. The user can achieve unimaginable effects and can possess almost unlimited power.
In short, the user is almost all-powerful and nearly invincible.

Types
- Type 1: The users wield nigh-omnipotence via objects/weapons/items that holds nearly unlimited power. These users are almost invincible with their only limitation being that of the object they hold (and usually their arrogance).
- Type 2: The users who become nearly all-powerful and virtually invincible by transcending themselves into a higher state of power becoming the most powerful being in existence capable of doing almost anything but can be limited to a higher being (Commonly a Supreme Being) as they can be defeated by that being.
- Type 3: The users are bestowed with nigh-omnipotence via certain almighty forces or by other means that possess limitless powers. These users possess decent control over reality, space-time, existence and anything else. They are only limited by that force and a higher being that can negate the force, thus rendering them powerless. They may have only one or two weakness based on their particular nature.
- Type 4: The users are the most powerful reality warpers who are nigh-omnipotent from the very beginning of their powers. They can affect reality on an essentially limitless level and control anything, allowing them to achieve almost anything yet limited by their natural weaknesses.
- Type 5: The users who are created with or have been given nigh-omnipotence by a Supreme Being, Metapotent Beings or Ultipotent Beings. They can do anything easily and can warp existence beyond their own realm. They are not bound to any rules or laws, allowing them to overcome all of their limitations and weaknesses. They are only limited by their creator(s) and certain almighty laws. Only their creators can defeat them and limit/effect/manipulate/negate their powers. Despite this, they are the most powerful beings in their own realms. They are truly the most powerful nigh-omnipotent beings across all of existence and beyond. This level of nigh-omnipotence could be considered almost near an Ultipotent level of power due to the amount of power and control over that power.
