The power to maim or injure without actually killing. Variation of Causality Manipulation.
Also Called
- Lethal Inability
Capabilities
User can hurt and injure others without killing them. This power is distinct from bestowing immortality onto others as those subject to the user's powers are still capable of dying due to natural causes or by third party.
This power generally manifests in two forms:
- "Realistic": the subject will die without corporeal necessities or without the use of organs meant to fight off diseases.
- "Absurd": the user dismembers, eviscerates and decapitates without the subject being actually maimed. The subject retains a degree of control over any limbs that were severed regardless and be able to reattach the body parts of themselves or others who share their disposition. The subject's sensory organs still also function even without being connected to their brain.
