It would be a No Limits Fallacy to assume someone with this ability can nullify anything that falls within the phenomena their powers are made to counter. It is to be assumed that any negation power has its limitations based on the strongest thing it has nullified, and a character may be resistant to the ability (at least in one of its forms), preventing it from having its usual effects.
On the Power Null page there is this. And even admins have said that Power Null will not work on things that are stronger than what it has shown. I find this an extremely bad rule, for a couple of reasons:
among many other abilities. So solving this point is extremely important as it affects what could be 1/4 of the abilities in the wiki (all abilities that work on other abilities).

- We already assume that Hax > AP. Dura neg will work on anyone regardless of the potency of their durability. However we do not assume that Power Null will work on Soul Manipulation regardless of the level of soul manip without feats of being that strong? Why? It seems extremely contradictory to what we already do. We have also agreed before that within the dimensional limitations only Resistance can stop hax. So why do we not continue this policy?
- It is impossible to evaluate between different types of hax. Every hax has it's own scale or meter that cannot be compared to any other hax. Some hax even lack a concept of "potency" outside of the dimensional one, some examples like Conceptual Manipulation or Probability Manipulation would be the cases here. There is no logical way to compare Probability Manipulation and Soul Manipulation, it is downright impossible. One is impossible to measure outside of dimensional scale and the level of percentage it can go to (example whether it can reach 100% and 0% or not) while the other is measured by the amount of people affected by the hax. Therefore it is logically impossible to conclude whether Power Null that worked on Probability Hax will work on Soul hax if the soul hax has a feat in the billions for example.
