The Empress of Time uses "Atemporal Wound" which inflicts a status ailment that stays on the party member permanently, versus status ailments usually lasting 3 turns in Cris Tales.

Summary

Dimensionless Attacks are attacks that don't apply to conventional space-time, being aspatial or atemporal (or both) attacks. While on the surface these attacks do not sound much different, attacks such as these are far more dangerous as they do not apply to the conventional ideas of causality, time, or the laws of physics, this can cause a varying amount of effects and can in some cases, make it impossible for a person to heal or regenerate from the attack as healing and regeneration follows conventional causality while the persons attacks and damage they inflict are outside of this. This can even at times function as Durability Negation as atemporal and aspatial attacks do not follow the conventional laws of physics and thus concepts such as Newton's Law wouldn't apply to their attacks.

Possible Applications

  • Ignoring Range: As the characters attack is aspatial, standard spatial range does not apply to it, thus no real distance is needed.
  • Ignoring Speed: As the characters attack is aspatial and atemporal, going against the speed formula which is distance divided by time.

Limitations

  • The ability is mainly limited to how it functions within the verse, thus not every dimensionless attack is created equal. For example, not every dimensionless attack is assumed by default to ignore range and speed without reasons for it.

Users

  • Empress of Time (Cris Tales): Empress of Time uses an attack known as "Atemporal Wound", which inflicts wound outside of time and puts a status ailment that stays on the party member permanently.

Notes

  • The ability can only be granted to those where it is directly noted the attacks themselves are atemporal/aspatial, this is due to some verses having a person that can be atemporal/aspatial though their attacks and abilities are still under space and time.
  • Characters lacking dimensionality would get this ability by default.
