Capabilities

The user can cancel out the powers of others or weaken their effects, making them unable to utilize their powers as long as they are under the user's focus/area. This protects the user from harmful attacks, and even possible undo the simulating-passive alternation powers of an opponent, in turn making them powerless. This can be in a form a nullification zone, a wave, continuous or one-time effect.

Limitations

  • This power affects only abilities beyond "normal" ones (i.e. the sort that only mortals are capable of putting up with).
    • Ineffective against those who do not utilize supernatural powers in combat.

  • Cannot affect users of Negation Immunity and Power Anchoring.
  • May be constantly active or be spontaneous on.
    • May be uncontrollable.
  • May need to be conscious/focus to maintain/activate the effect.
  • May have a limited range, including touch only.
  • Some powers may not be negated.
  • May be a one-shot effect, powers being negated only at the instant of the attack, and will reactivate right after.
  • Could be dangerous in situations where supernatural powers are required to resolve.
  • May be limited to "dampening" or weakening powers.
  • Negating acquired abilities via Power Replication or Power Absorption may prove harder, depending on the amount copied/absorbed.
