Is plain durability negation possible?

Like, if a character has an ability that is described as negating defense, durability, etc, but it doesn't have any other explanation. It just negates durability, what would that ability be classified as in this wiki?
 
Assuming it's literally just a blanket "ignores durability" statement as in their physical durability probably just durability negation.

If it's referring to something like magical defenses then power null.
 
I believe DontTalkDT has made rules against generic durability negation abilities and that there needs to be some sort of association basis; whether it be due to spatial manipulation, poison inducement, power nullification, ect. Now a lot of things mixed up is the different between durability negation and "durability reduction". The latter just gives a limited lower level while the former is more like a standard is the thing attacks as if opponent has a durability of 0. But piecing or slashing does not "Negate" durability per say but in some cases it can harm characters with higher durability to an extent. Thus it would be reduction rather than negation.

A visual representation of the ability in practice will be helpful. How does it look/ act when it is used ? Cause like what DDM had said the statement can either be durability negation or durability reduction(if it is referring to Physicals), depending on the context.
