And, again, I strongly disagree because the definition is not met. But, I'll ask someone else for your sake.
@Antvasima Could you help solve a debate just quickly, please?
The Original Demon has a
type of magic power called Crisis that heightens his physical strength as his life is shaved away. This means he gets stronger by existing (he physically breaks down by simply existing as a punishment) and taking damage (since that brings him closer to death).
To me, this doesn't fit
the description, because it doesn't specifically operate in response to an opponent and during combat, but those conditions substantially help.
What do you think?
Other way around. I disagree with the lake one, but not surface scaling.
