Introduction

Attack Nullification is the supernatural ability to cancel out or erase incoming attacks through specific means, often rendering them harmless before they can take effect. This can involve nullifying energy-based, magical, or chi-based attacks, making them dissipate or lose their effectiveness entirely. At higher levels, this power may grant users immunity to certain types of offensive abilities or attacks.

Unlike standard blocking or dodging, Attack Nullification refers specifically to the erasure or cancellation of attacks through supernatural or preternatural methods.

Example Applications

• Cancelling energy-based projectiles such as fireballs, chi blasts, or magical bolts.
• Dispelling magical attacks before they reach their target.
• Nullifying supernatural powers that manifest as offensive attacks, such as beams, curses, or hexes.
• Destroying or neutralizing constructs created for offensive purposes (e.g., a summoned weapon or energy blade).
• Deflecting or negating chi attacks through raw strength or advanced techniques.

Possible Limitations

• Effectiveness may depend on the user's power level relative to the attack being nullified.
• May not work against certain attacks, such as those powered by Absolute Abilities or Conceptual Manipulation.
• Nullification often requires precise timing or activation to work against fast-moving or unexpected attacks.
• Prolonged use may drain the user’s energy, especially for high-level attacks.
• The ability may only work on certain types of attacks (e.g., energy-based but not physical).

Users

• Vampire Killer (Castlevania): The Belmonts can nullify magical or energy projectiles by striking them with their whip, causing them to dissipate.
• Ki Users (Dragon Ball): High-level fighters can nullify chi-based energy attacks through sheer force, dispersing them with strikes or auras.
