Introduction

Damage Inducement is the supernatural ability to inflict damage on a target through inexplicable or unnatural means, often bypassing conventional physical interaction. Users of this ability can cause harm at a distance or inflict damage in ways that defy normal understanding, such as mental, emotional, or internal harm without physical contact. In some cases, this ability can also be used to amplify the damage a target takes from other sources, making them more susceptible to harm.

This ability is versatile and may manifest in various forms depending on the user's skill or intent, ranging from direct physical injury to inducing psychological pain.

Possible Applications

• Direct Damage: Inflicts harm on the target’s body without the need for physical contact, often damaging internal organs or causing unexplained wounds.
• Mental Damage: Causes psychological or emotional harm to the target, potentially leaving lasting trauma or mental instability.
• Amplified Damage: Increases the amount of damage the target takes from external sources, making them more vulnerable to attacks or injuries.
• Delayed Damage: Triggers harm after a set amount of time, surprising the target when the damage manifests unexpectedly.
• Localized Damage: Targets specific areas of the body, causing focused harm such as organ failure, broken bones, or ruptured blood vessels.

Possible Limitations

• Resistance: Targets with abilities like Damage Resistance or Regeneration may nullify or mitigate the effects of damage inducement.
• Range Limitation: Some users may need to be within a certain distance or have a line of sight to inflict damage effectively.
• Duration Dependence: Certain forms of damage inducement may require continuous focus or a specific trigger, making the ability less effective if interrupted.
• Lack of Precision: Users may struggle to target specific individuals or control the extent of the damage inflicted, potentially causing unintended collateral damage.

Users

• Makima (Chainsaw Man): Makima can inflict devastating internal damage with a mere glance or pointing gesture, destroying the insides of her targets without physical interaction.
