Hey there, mods! I was interested in apping this guy here and had a few questions about some canon powers he has and how they might be affected by the setting. He possesses an item called a "Soma" which falls under that lovely category of Ancient Lost Technology That's Far Better Than Modern Day Stuff that JRPGs love to bust out, and use of it gives him a couple special abilities.
1. He's able to manifest a weapon from it, in his case a sword, which draws its strength from the power of his emotions and heart. it's not quite magical in nature, more of a spiritual power, as wielding one requires intense physical training and honing of one's emotions. 2. Using it allows him to perform a "Spiria Link", which basically allows him the ability to dive into a person's mindscape and help them with mental blocks and emotional turmoil and generally help them overcome subconscious problems that they might not really be able to handle on their own.
SO with that first off, would I be correct in assuming that these powers would be nerfed/taken by the world? Secondly, if so, would it be possible to create similar abilities using the magic of this world given enough time/practice? I'm guessing that creating a magic sword using evocation wouldn't be a problem, but would something like the second ability be considered taboo, or even outright not feasible to replicate?
