Capabilities[]
Omniscience, derived from the Latin words Omni Scientia meaning "all-knowledge," embodies the ability to possess infinite knowledge within the broader context of one's reality or universe. It represents the highest level of understanding, encompassing all information without limitation. It's important to note that there are various manifestations and expressions of this formidable power:
- Selective Omniscience: The user's mind is capable of knowing potentially anything and everything and has the capacity to filter what they choose to know, selectively picking topics of interest according to the situation. They can objectively be omniscient at their whim, making this a controllable form of it. Also doubles as a lesser form of the ability, making it as they are knowledgeable of effectively everything at the cost of not being aware of all there's to possibly know on information unrelated to knowledge accessible or picked upon. This omniscience is either subjective or objective.
- Total/Complete Omniscience: Usually knowing it all, regardless of time and/or probable factors, actually fully knowing the entirety of it. The user has no filter or restrictions to their knowledge, having it at all times.
The user's mind is unblocked or unconstrained to knowledge of the entirety of totality, there's absolutely nothing which they do not understand or insightfully comprehend, knowing every answer to every inquiry on a timeless scale, meaning it is regardless of time; their recollection of infinite knowledge offers an understanding of the intricacies or "workings" of totality. Depending on the type they possess, the user might have the information at all times (Total/Complete) while at other times it might require the user's willing to access it, the circumstances or the actions of others (Inherent).
By knowing everything about something in general, one can get an insight for every detail/weakness/counter/interesting fact, possible or not, for that certain something, utilizing said facts to be unable to be defeated by said subject or situation.
