Conceptual Authority

Similar to the rules category under this general topic, the Conceptual Authority is very much OP. This page here is meant to describe many of the limitations.

General Idea
One of the major limitations of this general topic is that this authority can indeed affect humans but only in a gradient style affect: the more your authority is concentrated on your opponent, even if you haven't replaced their core authority yet, you can still affect them.

The major draw of this topical authority is that it is very imaginative. However at the same time, there are limitations that need to be pointed out.


 * 1) the main target of this authority is humans. For non-rule based authorities, affecting humans works in the gradient style explained above.
 * 2) affecting non-humans takes a lot more effort, strain and concentration.

Divines
Similar to Rule-based authorities, this topical authority has the issue of being supremely over-powered, especially considering that if a person can control the emotions and beliefs of everything around him, he can effectively be unbeatable by normal physical means (since he'll just make everything believe how he wants them to be, and make them resilient to change).

So, here's the limitations for non-rule based. For rule based limitations, see rules.


 * 1) Divines can only "hold" three powers at a time, can only use one at a time, but can switch between the three interchangeably, and can only permanently change their powers once per year, and those powers must remain as such for the rest of that year.
