Soul Manipulation

From The Character Database

Soul Manipulation is the ability to interact with one's own soul or the souls of others. This ability can manifest in various ways, including projecting the power of one's soul outward, grasping and ripping the souls of others from their bodies, and consuming souls to gain power, among other applications.

Evaluating Potency

The potency of Soul Manipulation is generally assessed based on what it can do and how many individuals it can affect at once. This can range from affecting a few individuals to entire planetary populations.

Factors to Consider

When evaluating the potency of Soul Manipulation and resistance to it, consider the following factors:

  • Mechanisms Involved: How the soul manipulation works.
  • Range of Effect: The number of people it can affect simultaneously.
  • Resistance Penetration: Whether it can break through resistances.
  • Effect Magnitude: The extent of its effects.

Important Notes

  • Non-Physical Interaction: The ability to interact with souls and other non-corporeal entities directly as if they were physical objects is usually considered Non-Physical Interaction. This does not grant the user the ability to manipulate souls in other contexts.
  • Default Assumption: Under normal circumstances, most characters are assumed to have a soul by default unless the original medium specifies otherwise. Those who do not possess souls are generally considered immune to most applications of Soul Manipulation.
