Unholy Manipulation

From The Character Database

Unholy Manipulation is the ability to control and generate energies, elements, objects, and entities associated with demonic or malevolent forces. It is the opposite of Holy Manipulation and is connected with demons, evil spirits, and anti-gods.

Possible Uses:

  • Empowerment: Users may gain extraordinary levels of strength, speed, and stamina, and enhance their mental and spiritual capabilities by drawing power from evil entities. In extreme cases, users can become vessels for greater evils.
  • Thaumaturgy: Invoke the power of demons and devils through rituals and prayers, performing "miracles" that reflect dark or unholy aspects.
  • Summoning: Call forth lesser unholy entities for combat, to induce curses, or to possess others.
  • Corruption: Twist and corrupt the purest souls and minds, inducing sin and vice, and potentially transforming beings into demons or other evil spirits.
  • Sin Manipulation: Amplify the inner evil or sinful nature of others.
  • Energy/Elemental Manipulation: Generate, shape, and control energies and elements associated with hellish origins, such as hellfire, cursed earth, and corrupted light. These forces can potentially affect the soul directly, bypassing conventional durability and protections.

Limitations:

  • Countered by Holy Manipulation: Unholy Manipulation is typically ineffective against those wielding Holy Manipulation.
  • Corruption of the User: Frequent use of this power can lead to the user becoming corrupted or influenced by the very forces they control.
