If a verse takes a concept (Random example) from Buddhism. How much of it needs to be explained to get the abilities of the aforementioned concept?

Let me use an example. The buddhist concept of the Ālayavijñāna.

A character straight up says its Buddhist concept. A couple other characters say it is true Enlightenment. Another character awakened to Nirvana by awakening Ālayavijñāna. Buddha in this verse explains that it would help someone overcome death, and escape this world filled with sadness and death (not directly stated but basically describing escape from Samsara.) Another character describes what it is being a "Source of ones karma" of course im just summarizing these statements for time

This isn't a question about tiering, but since Nirvana supposedly transcends all causality

and awakening to Ālayavijñāna means to transcend karma (Cause and effect) and it awakens a state of nirvana

excluding anti-feats because i don't want that to alter my question because that much is obvious to me lol

Could this be grounds for any sort of abilities given it does in Buddhism (where the concept was inspired from)?
 
Depends on the interpretations of the verse/series, not on how they are in reality or what you interpret. As long as its a feat/statement that is not some 'flowery language' or just philosophy then it should give something.
 
Everything needs to be explained in the source material, outside material can't be used.

Even going "This character has reached Enlightment like the Buddha as described in Buddhism." Does not mean you can use attributes that is in Buddhism but not described by the verse in question.
