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.
