Ontological Property Manipulation

From The Character Database

Ontology is the study of being on various levels and includes the ability to manipulate the ontological properties of entities and substances.

Types:

Type 1 (Standard Version): This is the ability to manipulate the innate properties that form the very existence of an entity or substance. For example, it might remove the essence of life from an entity or, on a grander scale, render god-like beings powerless by stripping away the properties that make them divine. If an entity is a higher-dimensional being, this ability can make it lower-dimensional by removing the relevant properties. If an entity is omnipresent, it removes the property that enables this. The extent of this ability depends on the scale or what it has been shown to accomplish.

Type 2 (Essence Manipulation): Essence is defined as a set of properties or attributes essential for anything's existence and identity. This ability allows one to manipulate these fundamental properties, which are crucial for an entity or substance to sustain its existence and identity. By removing these essential properties, the user can cause the entity or property to cease to exist, as it no longer has its defining attributes.

This differs from directly removing an entity's identity, which would fall under logic manipulation if that were the case.
