Powers & Abilities Evaluations Thread

What ability is it for something to cause a person sharp pain and make their eyes to bleed from looking at it
Depends, but at minimum some sort of pain manip, but typically in my experience stuff like that comes from messing with someone's mind, either with too much information or what have you, so once again, depends

Alright for context -

Essentially some powerful beings/things in the setting are said to be "significant" (A term which is said to mean that they are imbued with "Authority" which is itself a term that describes their power to directly influence concepts that make up reality) such that the real thing intrudes on any depictions of it.

A character views symbols meant to represent particularly powerful beings that themselves represent the most basis aspects of reality and the resulting effect is that he can only look at them for seconds at a time without beginning to bleed from his eyes (And although the symbols don't change they are hard to grasp because the viewers eyes keep shifting around them).

Even when these symbols are reproduced with an illusion the effect is still the same though somewhat weakened as "no depiction of [the person who made the illusion] could carry the total significance"

Mind Manip + Info Type 1 ig
 
Not really no or at least not one that's particularly notable unless for instance you completely erased/destroy their minds/souls and they bring it back
Chandler soul was damaged by Gowther and kings combo spell but he managed to recover. And Cusack had his mind/soul scrambled but managed to recover quickly is that a form of mind/soul healing?

Damn it's been a hot min since I read SDS but depends on if they actually stated they healed from the damage to the soul (Mind damage is more nebulous and often don't require any powers to recover from) or that they simply kept going in spite of it

Honestly I'd just add that as a stamina feat if it's the later but the former soul healing is fine
 
What ability would be create a 3D penrose triangle? That is supposed to be impossible

Whats this?
The skill showed a dark light whenever my older brother, the Crown Prince, looked at me. So I avoided him and anything to do with him like a plague. It showed a green light whenever my naive younger brother played with me, so I kept him close and made him rely on me It showed a light blue light with my father, so I acted as the most perfect daughter and gained his affection, making me cruise through to my unshakable position that I have currently.
It allows her to see lights around people, like she can almost see the intent of people.
 
Would you consider it some kind of extrasensory perception? Or empathic manipulation?
Empathic Manipulation at most.
That can't be right, he is making a structure with an impossible shape
It's impossible by our standards, not sure it's valid for fiction. We can't create a 2-D object that gives off a 3-D optical illusion but uh in fiction anything is possible.
 
That can't be right, he is making a structure with an impossible shape
It is completely possible to construct a penrose triangle (-like object, as in it shares the same appearance and all) irl, and in fact, multiple have been made and exist right now
 
It's difficult to determine without additional context because it's just an optical illusion. If there is no context, Ig it could be limited illusion creation.
Assuming it’s an actual physical legit penrose triangle and not simply an optical illusion, probably would fall under spatial manipulation
It's legit physic construction in another shot they are shown staying on it
 
No, its specifically saying she can manipulate atoms, nothing lower, note the "retain all the chemical properties of that element" which further supports that interpretation, which makes that atom level matter manip
What about this part ?

"create new atoms from their component parts"
 
Does Energy Projection and Explosion Manipulation already account for the logical Heat Manipulation those abilities would have ? Or does it have to be listed separately ?

What about Transmutation of say, turning an vegetables into fried chicken ?

It depends on the character feat but usually they will be listed separately since Energy Projection doesn't always release heat energy, for Explosion Manipulation heat energy is usually just a byproduct and characters usually don't have the ability to manipulate it.

Depending on the context given but I guess it would probably make sense in some kind of logic.
 
Nep2 is being nondual to existence and nonexistence right? So can you get it by encompassing existence and nonexistence?

In general, no, NEP2 is essentially the lack of both existence and nonexistence. Encompassing them has many meanings, including the possession of both of the above mentioned natures.
 
Does this have an ability listed in the wiki besides Matter Manipulation ?

Just noticed that there doesn't seem to be a page for characters with chemical manipulation abilities. But I don't think it's necessary, as they can be generalized to many abilities already on the wiki like Acid/Air/Metal/Matter/Poison Manipulation, Corrosion Inducement, etc...
Is rearranging brain cells to create a new personality Mind Manipulation or Memory Manipulation ?
Seems like Biological Manipulation and maybe Limited Mind Manipulation, but if a new personality is just a byproduct of brain cell rearrangement, then it is just biological manipulation.
 
Is affecting a (possibly infinite) void/space that transcend space-time(multiverse) a L1-C range ?

Said void encompass the universes, separate them and influence their time difference.

Depends on the context. Verses often have a void/space that encompasses the entire multiverse, and the gap between universes is an insignificantly size 5th-dimensional space. Affecting a realm like that does not automatically grant Low 1-C, even if that realm is infinite. For e.g, a realm containing 2-A, ofc that realm must have infinite size or even be larger, but it still would not be Low 1-C unless that realm is large enough to qualify as dimensionally superior.

The gap is finite while the surrounding void/space is infinite.

The realms that exist within this space are 2-A multiverse and there is nine of them.
 
What you mean is that the gap separating the multiverses is finite, while the space containing them is infinite, right? I just want to make sure.
Yes, and while they are in that space they can re enter any realm (nine universes), any timeline (infinite in each realm) at any point in time.
