Before we dive in to weaknesses, I just want to add Type 5 Immortality to the PI page. It's pretty much already accepted. Look at Kokonoe and Terumi for example.
Okay, I forgot some weaknesses to PI. I'll get straight to the point:
Okay, I forgot some weaknesses to PI. I'll get straight to the point:
- Observation is, to some users, extremely tiring and takes a lot of energy. It is also the reason why some use of PI needs extreme amount of seithr to do so. This is evident in Kokonoe's case, when her observing two people is enough to tire her out. This is also especially true with self-observation, as shown with Terumi in Wheel of Fortune CD, when he is puking because of the toll of the constant use of self-observation.
- Self-observation, a type of observation when a user observe her/himself, is temporary, at least to normal users. This is evident with Terumi's case, when his appearance into the world during Ragna's childhood were temporary and only had weeks at least during Central Fiction.
- Observation, while it is a powerful ability, can't make something that is virtually impossible to a reality. This is stated during the conversation of Naoto and Raquel, when she stated that Phenomena Intervention can't make something impossible possible, which is evident with how Phenomena Intervention works.
- Observation is sometimes uncontrollable even by the user. Es and Nobody, even with their mastery of Phenomena Intervention, cannot stop the Embryo from passively altering reality with Phenomena Intervention. This is also true when the user has some sort of mental instability or has extreme emotional conditions. This is shown when Noel was subconsciously started Continuum Shift against her will, due to the panic and anger she is feeling alongside various mental abuse she took from Terumi.
- Users of self-observation doesn't automatically make them observers. The most popular example if this is Black Beast and Nox Nyctores, former being Anti-Observer Armament due to constantly observing itself and the latter constantly observing itself to keep its power strong or growing.
