Powers & Abilities Evaluations Thread

Magic in Etius isn't a concept of matter.


It's a concept of phenomena.


Whether you're shooting fire, hurling ice spears, or erecting earthen walls, none of it can continue to exist in reality.


Once the caster cancels the spell or runs out of mana, it all disappears
Not even a copy.


"I need to change my thinking. Trying to create something out of thin air was wrong from the start. It's impossible. I can't create a shield."


What I need isn't matter.


It's phenomena.


Just like when a mage conjures fire, they're creating the "phenomenon of burning."


With a sword, it's the "phenomenon of cutting."


With a shield, it's the "phenomenon of blocking."

What kind of ability would this be? The mc has the ability to "Weave" things into existence, but he can't create actual things, only the phenomenon of it. Ie, if he wants to throw a knife, he has to create the phenomenon of a throwing knife, if he wants to block, he has to create the phenomenon of blocking.

Magic, and what I believe would be limited either Concept Manipulation or maybe Causality Manipulation? Since he is, in other words creating an effect without its usual cause. But idk.
 
I think it's both limited concept (probably type 3) and causality manip? Altho it's pretty bad, but considering it's creating a phenomenon (which idk how to classify but considering how it was described and the whole magic thing, I think it's a concept) and just making the effect without the actual cause, I think it would be causality manip too.

the phenomena is definitely a concept but he is just manifesting it.
I'd say it is more so Reality warping at this point and just describe the ability and how it works
