==Summary==
== Background ==
Resistance is the ability to reduce the effectiveness of certain techniques and abilities by any means, such as the considerable reduction in the power of time manipulation or its total suppression.
'''Resistance''' refers to the ability to reduce the effectiveness of specific techniques, abilities, or external influences. This may manifest as a significant reduction in the potency of an effect (e.g., weakening the impact of time manipulation) or its complete suppression. Resistance can be achieved through various means, including natural traits, training, or the use of specialized powers.


== Possible Uses ==
* '''Reduction of Effectiveness:''' Weakening the potency of harmful abilities such as [[Elemental Manipulation]], [[Psiconics]], [[Time Manipulation]], etcetera.
* '''Immunity Development:''' Evolving resistance into complete immunity to specific powers, rendering the user unaffected by those abilities.
* '''Conditional Resistance:''' Resistance that functions under particular circumstances or against specific abilities, such as resisting [[Fire Manipulation]] but not [[Ice Manipulation]].
* '''Enhanced Survivability:''' Increasing one's chances of survival by mitigating or negating the effects of dangerous powers or conditions.


==Limitations==
== Possible Limitations ==
Whatever the capacity, resistance to this ability can be demonstrated in varying degrees of efficiency, ranging from mild and generally inconsequential to extremely high, which could completely nullify these capabilities. However, as with everything else, resistance must be judged on the basis of prowess.
* Resistance can vary in degrees, ranging from minor reductions to near-total nullification.
* The level of resistance must be judged based on the user's power, skill, or inherent traits.
* Resistance may not be universal; users could resist certain abilities while remaining vulnerable to others.
* Abilities such as [[Resistance Manipulation]] may override or nullify the user's resistance.


'''Note:''' The highest degree of resistance is outright '''immunity''', preventing the use of this ability on any scale from affecting the user. However, immunity is not easily acquired because if a person's resistance to a certain type of attack may be absolute in his verse, it is not necessarily the cases against more powerful uses of this ability. Absolute '''immunity''' should almost never be given, except in some cases, as being immune to the manipulation of the soul due to lack of soul.

Background

Resistance refers to the ability to reduce the effectiveness of specific techniques, abilities, or external influences. This may manifest as a significant reduction in the potency of an effect (e.g., weakening the impact of time manipulation) or its complete suppression. Resistance can be achieved through various means, including natural traits, training, or the use of specialized powers.

Possible Uses

  • Reduction of Effectiveness: Weakening the potency of harmful abilities such as Elemental Manipulation, Psiconics, Time Manipulation, etcetera.
  • Immunity Development: Evolving resistance into complete immunity to specific powers, rendering the user unaffected by those abilities.
  • Conditional Resistance: Resistance that functions under particular circumstances or against specific abilities, such as resisting Fire Manipulation but not Ice Manipulation.
  • Enhanced Survivability: Increasing one's chances of survival by mitigating or negating the effects of dangerous powers or conditions.

Possible Limitations

  • Resistance can vary in degrees, ranging from minor reductions to near-total nullification.
  • The level of resistance must be judged based on the user's power, skill, or inherent traits.
  • Resistance may not be universal; users could resist certain abilities while remaining vulnerable to others.
  • Abilities such as Resistance Manipulation may override or nullify the user's resistance.
