Megami Tensei Physiology

==Introduction==
This blog is about the physiologies of entities within the Megami Tensei verse. This blog will be going over the set of abilities specific types of entities within the verse will be assigned on their profiles by default. The cosmology was covered earlier, so this is purely for abilities and powers. 
==Type 1: Observation==
This set of abilities is default to humans, as observation is an ability given to all humans. This ability also goes by the terms understanding and cognition
Higher Dimensional Manipulation (Expanse, a higher dimensional reality, is created by human thoughts)
Subjective Reality (The entire world is made of cognition, is shaped by the feelings and thoughts of humans)
Reality Warping and Flow Manipulation (Humanity has tremendous control over the flow of reality)
Axiom Manipulation (By assigning answers to phenomena without an answer, humanity changes their beliefs into truths)
Power Bestowal (Collective beliefs are what grant gods their powers)
Power Nullification (As humanity bestows power, so too can they deny it)
Ontological Property Manipulation (Type 1 and 2 Humanity's observation grants things determinance and binds them to language, and language is what makes 1 thing distinct from everything else)
Conceptual Manipulation (Type 3 Nature 2) and Non-Physical Interaction (Humans shape and grant individuality to demons, with demons being largely conceptual entities)
Law Manipulation (Can apply rules upon reality that are enforced automatically)
Existence Erasure (Type 4 and 3 Denial of something's existence leads to it's erasure as something that disappears from cognition cannot exist) 
Space-Time Manipulation (The collective refusal to see time move forward distorted space and time, and made time stop moving forward)
Accelerated Development and Reactive Evolution (Humans go stronger as they fight, even in the face of opponents that are ontologically superior to them)
==Type 2: Magic Users==
These are the set of abilities that people with access to normal skills in the games have, the character/game exclusive skills are covered in their respective profile
Agi/Fire - Fire Manipulation, Heat Manipulation (Fire based spells with more basic ones having the heat of the sun's surface) 
Bufu/Ice - Ice Manipulation, Absolute Zero (Inflict ice damage, basic levels causing atomis stasis)
Garu/Zan/Wind - Wind Manipulation (Wind based spells)
Zio/Elec - Electricity Manipulation (Electricity based spells)
Tera/Earth - Earth Manipulation (Earth based spells)
Psi/Psychic - Explosion Manipulation (Uses psychokinesis to create explosions in space)
Frei/Nuke - Physics Manipulation Heat Manipulation (Causes a nuclear reaction and uses the generated heat for offense)
Hama/Mudo - Holy Manipulation. Curse Manipulation, Death Manipulation (Type 1 Light/Dark instant kill moves)
Kouha/Eiha - Holy Manipulation, Curse Manipulation Existence Erasure(Type 4 Kouha is holy magic that erases all uhnoly things, while Eiha erases all non-evil things with pure darkness)
Megido - Resistance Negation, Negation to Law Manipulation, Existence Erasure (Almighty negates all resistances to the point Law Manipulation based defenses are useless, bringing annihilation beyond death that turns whatever it hits into nothingness)
Dia - Healing (Healing magic potent enough to regrow lost limbs)
Recarm - Resurrection (Revives fallen allies)
Resist/Null/Repel/Absorb - Resistance/Invulnerability/Attack Reflection/Power Absorption respectively (Skills provide specific form of resistance to an attack type)
Pierce - Resistance Negation, Negation to Invulnerability and Power Absorption (Pierces through drain, null and resist attributes.)
Kaja/Nda - Statistics Amplification/Statistics Reduction (Self-explanatory.)
Ailment - Status Effect Inducement (Can inflict a variety of status effects)
Recovery - Power Nullification (Negates the effects of Ailment skills)
Dekaja/Dekuna - Power Nullification, Statistics Reduction/Statistics Amplification (Removes the effects of Statistics Ampllification and Reduction respectively)
Karn - Force-Field Creation, Attack Reflection, Spatial Manipulation (Creates reflective barriers that affect space)
==Type 3: Physical Demons, Persona users and Shadows==
These abilities and resistances are granted to the most basic supernatural powers in megaten that manifest themselves physically.
Immortality (Type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 Demons are naturally immortal, and posses unchanging souls, destined to reincarnate and regenerate for all etirnity, since the dawn of creation to the ends of times, with only humans having the ability to put them down, but demons cannot truly die, as as long as humanity persists so will they, persisting even after the death of their body)
Abstract existence (Type 2 Demons exist as embodiments of natural phenomena and concepts, with physical demons essentially being physical representations of them)
Superhuman characteristics, Power Bestowal, and Statistics Amplification (Weak demons such as slimes and pixies are shown to tear through armor and move street-wide boulders. Personas are the powers of demons taken by humans for themselves, amplifying their defense, strength e.t.c.)
Self-Sustenance (Type 1 Demons like Seth are unbothered by being in the vacuum of space)
Invulnerability (As shadows and demons operate outside of laws of physics, demons need a matching wavelength to be vulnerable to damage, and military weapons being ineffective, and the same is largely applicable to shadows as conventional weaponry and attacks are shown to be ineffective and need persona users or specially crafted weaponry to receive damage)
Negation to Invulnerability (Aside from engaging each other in combat, are directly stated to bypass immunities similar to their own due to having the capability to launch spiritual attacks)
Regeneration Negation and Negation to Healing (You need spiritual powers to heal the damage dealt by demons)
Invisibility (Demons cannot be perceived by the naked eye, and require advanced detection technology to be seen)
Extrasensory Perception and Enhanced Senses (Aside from interacting with one another, demons are shown to see through invisibility, sense the presence of spirits and other demons and persona users being able to recognize other persona users, and said to be feeling like a radar)
Mind Manipulation and Possession (Taking on a persona that is stronger than you will cause it to take over your mind which is shown to be true when Elizabeth attempts to summon Zeus)
Telepathy (Personas and Demons are shown to communicate telepathically)
Body Control (Demons shapeshift to blend in with humans)
Aura (Demons and Personas emmit a pressure/aura that can push things away)
Biological Manipulation, Technology Manipulation and Possession (Demons can fry brains, and possess computers by hacking)
Space-Time Manipulation (Persona is mastering the shadow's ability to manipulate space-time for themselves, with pocket realities of demons and shadows being established to be universal space-times)
Force-Field Creation, BFR (Demons can create barriers between worlds or just territories of the same world, as well as teleport someone to a different realm or area)
Duplication (Demons are consistently shown to duplicate with even weaker ones like Kaiwan doing it)
Accelerated Development and Absorption (Can absorb karma and become stronger through that)
Disassembly (MAG is an all-prevading spiritual energy without which all things would cease to be, with lethal wounds being depicted as draining magatsuhi and causing the victims to fade away)
===Resistances===
Heat Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Absolute Zero, Explosion Manipulation, Existence Erasure (Can survive various magic attacks, such as explosions caused by psychokenisis, heat of extremely high temperatures, ice attacks of complete atomic stasis, and existence erasure magic)
Physics Manipulation (Naturally operate outside the laws of physics)
Information Manipulation (Type 2) and Petrification (Demons can live through Brahman's rays which is a corruption of data that causes petrification and calamities all over earth)
Space-Time Manipulation (Persona users even before awakening are completely unaffected by time stops, and naturally adapt to pocket realities where the concept of time ceases to function and the normal laws of space-time do not apply)
Ontological Property Manipulation (Type 2 Persona users can assert their identity in the collective unconscious which dissolves all distinctions of reality where everything ceases to have individuality)
==Type 4: Abstract Demons==
Demons of this level exist within the expanse as just abstractions
All previous abilities to a higher degree (Physical demons are merely estimations, and are considerably weaker than expanse ones)
Abstract existence (Type 1), Ontologically Transcendent Physiology, Immaterial Physiology, Higher Dimensional Existence, Dimensional Travel (Natural residents of the expanse, a higher dimensional plane of existence inacessible to those bound by space and time, transcending the dimensions of past, present and future and operating on a conceptual form of time rather than physical and where upon entering all things that were material shed their physical form, and breaking free from space and time allowing them to travel freely, and are entirely made of human thought existing as pure phenomena like concepts of infinity)
Acausality (Type 4 Demons of this level are entirely unaffected by the total collapse of time and presumably space, battling even beyond the flow of time, beings of this level exist "outside" and observing the story from god's viewpoint, viewing it as a tv show and completely unaffected by the timeline rewrite, being outside the purview of fate and operating on a different causality from the physical universe)
Enahnced Immortality (Type 4 Entities of this level are directly shown to endlessly reincarnate after death rather than just being stated)
===Resistances===
All previously mentioned resistances at a higher level for reasons explained in this section
Enhanced resistance to Existence Erasure (Type 3 and 4 Can battle with Kagutsuchi who's light wipes things out of existence, can also survive Megido/la/laon which brings annihilation beyond death which turns whatever it hits into nothingness)
Enhanced resistance to Ontological Property Manipulation (Type 2 Beings on this level can inhabit different planes of atziluth directly for long periods of time)
==Type 5: Archetypal beings==
Entities of this level exist as beings who achieved the state of Nirvana, or are archetypes of the unconscious
All previously mentioned abilities to a higher degree (Every abstract demon is just an aspect of their archetypal form)
Acausality (Type 5 Having escaped existence, which entails continuity, change, motion, transience, impermanence, and one thing leading to another, they reside in a "a shore of freedom, unrestrained from all of causality.")
Immortality (Type 5 Naturally exist in a state where neither life or death are a thing)
Transduality (Type 5 Nirvana is one giant I devoid of any differentiation as individuality itself is just an illusion, a place where all things achieve oneness in a all-in-one and one-in-all)
Beyond Dimensional Existence (Type 3 Is completely beyond the concept of dimensionsand coordinates)
Nonexistent Physiology (Type 2 There is no such thing as "existence" in Nirvana, a void, sea of nothingness)
Abstract existence (Type 1 Exist in a entirely conceptual realm existing as "elemets of diamonds" or the ideas which are the initial forms of everything)
Omnipresence and Omniscience (Nirvana attainers are described as "someone who has transcended space-time, appearing infinitely and present in all times and places", "Omnipresent over time", can see and feel everything, "everywhere, at all times, and observe all possible worlds simultaneously", and "diffused everywhere, in all dimensions, and across all possibilities.")
===Resistances===
All previously mentioned resistances to a higher level due to reasons explained in this section
Resistance to everything in the observation section (The farther something is away from the human world, the less human consciousness can interfere, with archetypal entities like mem aleph being much less subject to interference than abstract demons)
