You know how some characters have powers that only work on Death? The Mark is similar to that, in that when someone else hurts Cain, the Presence is basically summoned to reflect the attack back towards the person who attacked Cain. It's not the outside that affects your battle, it's your opponent in the battle calls the wrath of the outside to attack them.DontTalkDT said:Your examples are essentially why I said, in general it's more complicated. For this case it doesn't change things, though.
Summoning means to, by your own power, transport a being to you which does your bidding. In other words you influence the outside, not the outside influences your battle on its own accord.
Something like Goku using his Zeno button has for example not be acknowledged as a legitimate way for goku to win, because Zeno is in no way or form obligated to actually do what goku wants. That has been debated before to be considered outside influence.
If a person revives another by actively doing so, as opposed on it being a passive effect, that is outside influence as well. E.g. goku's friends reviving him via dragonballs would not be acknowledged as something that can happen in a battle. If it's a passive effects it falls under blessings/curses which are considered a characters own arsenal.
Essentially see Standard Battle Assumptions, outside influence.
That's because Zeno isn't one to do a specific action when summoned. The Presence is not like that, he will reflect the attack back upon his opponent x7 fold if Cain is hurt by another.
