Capabilities

Omniscience (being "all-knowing"), in its grandest and highest stage, is the capacity to know absolutely everything infinitely within(with mind to different types and forms of omniscience) eternity or reality. Nevertheless, there are different types and/or forms of this power:

  • complete omniscience - knowing all there is, all at once. Usually timeless and inaccessible by anybody alive due to the current, based 'unrestrictions' of timelessness and eternity unless one is dead or unless something happens or advances in terms of the living being able to access timeless realms in regards to availability to travel to and not be here and instead there within reality, which is normally not possible due to the nature of there. This may or may not be the case, in any case of either, totally considering the nature of eternity and absolution in the omniscient sense.
  • total omniscience - actually knowing everything and all that there is to know.
  • inner omniscience - the ability to know everything as one sees it, as a personal understanding, to-do with everything and/or all. This does not have to coincide or be defined by true fact, as by nature, it is subjective, so long as it really has to do with everything and/or all in truth.
  • inherent omniscience - the ability to already be omniscient on some level, either because the user was born with it or is omniscient. Inherent omniscience still requires the user to know everything and/or all there is to know on some level in order to maintain truth of being inherently and not consciously, actively omniscient, necessarily.
  • as omniscience - the trait, without necessarily being known about(by the user), of being omniscient as-is. As Omniscience prioritizes the entirety of the universe and the right, naturally-orderly decisions as a true omniscient factoring, with the user being as it is, as is the universe, as a type of mindless omniscience in-of itself and does or may not really, as a personally-held perception of reality, factor in what the user's will, experience and actions are meant to be when made and decided upon by the user within the grand scheme of things.
  • lesser omniscience - knowing everything as a thing but not knowing all there is to know. ....

The user’s mind is unblocked to the entirety of totality, at least with complete omniscience or total omniscience, with function of performance of either pertaining to their own forms. With either, there is absolutely nothing which the user does not know and/or possibly understand, therefore they know every answer to every question, past, present, and future, with complete omniscience as a knowing of all there is, all at once as to do with eternity and its "workings", for the sake of understanding, which can be known as "eternal physics" even though physicality does not exist in eternity. Depending on the type of omniscience, this power may allow the user to have all information at all times, eternally or really(within bounds of an eternity or a reality), either all at once or with the ability to be aware of some knowledge(of/or all there is to know) which may phase in or out in availability at certain times to do with awareness and not knowing or being conscious, as is the case with some types of omniscience.

Additionally, due to the nature of everything as well as all, there are various conditions, both sensical and nonsensical that may trigger different things to note regarding omniscience, whether about a possible reasoning and/or perception of and/or to-do with omniscience, factors at play, including spontaneity and causality, also possibly including things at or that may be at play as well as things and/or factors regarding, relating to, including, etc., any of everything and/or anything to do with anything, potentially, actually, really and possibly eternally. The main thing to note is that the nature of omniscience is to-do with the almighty and is not necessarily the best, though is the highest form of knowing, concerning all.

By knowing absolutely everything about something, typically speaking, one can understand every counter move available for a certain something, thus being unable to be defeated by a foe/enemy. With as or inherent omniscience, the higher purpose of the universe takes precedence over the user's will and/or desires, at least with true as and if it is of a higher calling to do so, as is, which means the user is in perfect synchronicity with the entire universe, the user may do the right actions to be of a higher omniscient factor, thus de-prioritizing personal success and victory.

At an understandable base, the key to "knowing everything" or to be "all-knowing", at first, sometimes, usually, is not to be knowing of everything in mind as a straight achievement of knowledge as such as in the ways and absolutes of this skill's ability, but rather, in the way that it is, coming to know it as a graspable form, initially, at least, eventually coming to understand how it is and its operation(s), rather than primarily as a totality. Working at the skill's obtainment in this way has been shown in some places to lead first to lesser omniscience, as one can know everything and all there is, but still, or at least with lesser omniscience, mainly, not know everything and all there is to know. On the former's note, it has been theorized that it is possible in both fantasy and reality to be omniscient, though not absolutely omniscient unless you are in eternity, bringing the prospect of non-existence in to consideration regarding the 'physics' of being absolutely, truly or completely omniscient.
