Notable abilities

This is a list of notable abilities.

## Omnipotence

All omnipotent entities manifest their power into various individual traits.

### Natural

The Singularities are the only ones that possess “natural omnipotence”, formerly known as "absolute omnipotence". It is commonly said that this form of omnipotence is "limitless". However, this is not entirely correct in a literal sense; while singularities are able to accomplish unparalleled (including impossible) feats, their power is in fact limited. They are--for example--unable to destroy or change the inherent nature of existence as a whole, nor are they able to destroy or alter each other (although some--such as the Demons--speculate that the material core of the Will of the Balance can be destroyed) or create new Singularities. While the description "limitless" for Singularities was coined by mortal folk, the term "absolute omnipotence" was coined by the Scholars of the New Age, not due to their power being literally "absolute" but because they are naturally intertwined with cosmology as opposed to the relative omnipotence of the Overgods. Due to the term's ambiguity, the Scholars created the new term "natural omnipotence", which has become the officially recognised term by the Heavenly Bureaucracy.

All Singularities are omnipotent but not inherently omniscient or omnipresent; for example, the Will of the Balance is omnipresent, while Aeredein is not because she does not know how exert omnipresence. Coversely, Aeredein is the sole person capable of reconstituting erased souls; the Will of the Balance is unable to reconstitute souls, not because it lacks the power but simply because it does not know how.

### Artificial

“Artificial omnipotence”, formerly known as “relative omnipotence”, is the power borne by the Overgods and the Authorities. The term was coined by the Scholars as the counterpart to natural omnipotence, which is a product of being naturally intertwined with existence. However, artificial omnipotence is a fraction of natural omnipotence and thus inherently, substantially weaker than the latter.

It can be conferred by Singularities, Overgods and the Authorities alike; however, conferment by the two latter requires the cooperation of all of them, which is the reason why they prefer delegating their power. None of the Overgods or the Authorities possess omniscience or omnipresence.

### Delegated

“Delegated omnipotence” is a fraction of the artificial omnipotence held by the Overgods or the Authorities. The holders of delegated omnipotence are known as the Divine Ones.

## Erasure

"Erasure" is the power to completely delete souls from existence. Generally, only deceased souls dwelling in the Seven Hells can be erased; and generally, only the Lords Infernal can erase the dead souls of their respective hell. The Lords Infernal bear this power as a result of being connected with their hell's Raging Flames.

However, Aeredein is able to erase any being, alive or deceased, evil or good; and she is the sole being able to reconstitute souls, a feat scientifically impossible.

While in the past, the Lords Infernal could erase souls such at will, they now require the assent of the Dark Prince and the Lady Unassailable as their Supreme Masters. This ability was most commonly used by Lucifer and was considered his trump card (especially against the Primordials).
