I guess if tissues die quickly and much more quickly than marrow then that is a problem. but the point of the blood being affected is not for the immediate battle, its for what comes after. It may not even be mentioned in the story about the ramifications to the blood until some later date, its...

The thing is that i don't think the rapid aging counts as out of control division. When the effect takes place it causes the cell to live through its normal life cycle faster so it just divides earlier and dies quicker. For an out of control division like a cancer that would take damaging the...

something I had thought of for trying to survive the permanent damage is having extensive skin and muscle grafts to remove afflicted tissue though I don't know if bone grafts are a thing and if so if blood is still produced from them or if its possible to replace the stem cells in bones used to...

That is also something interesting to note. Another part of the story involving the character with this ability is a protagonist who can send their memories back in time by up to a day, though anyone else who knows of the time travel has their memories sent back too and any effects of their...

It truly is. Other frightening things I pondered were the ramifications of using only the second ability without the first in effect. Like if the dust cloud touches a tumor, that tumor would then rapidly expand. Or it could be used to rapidly heal wounds or quickly drain a body of its energy and...

That's very interesting. I might have to utilize that. I had more recently changed the ability so that the inability to regenerate cells is only on a point of contact but any cells afflicted pass the affliction to all adjacent cells upon death. There is also a secondary ability to speed up cell...

Thanks for the response. One of the more recent changes I've made to this supernatural ability is that it comes in two parts: one that causes cells to be unable to divide and one that causes cells to rapidly age and attempt to divide. The original thing where cells being unable to divide changed...

This is for a story I'm writing that involves supernatural abilities though i often try and find some grounded effect of what would happen. One of these abilities causes the cells in a target's body to be unable to divide, replicate, regenerate, etc. I'm curious as to what the effects would be...

Then what about with much larger forces like a punch from someone with the strength of the average bodybuilder, or even the force from an impact or collision with a high-speed truck or 18-wheeler. Would forces like these be large enough to suffice, if so, then what would the effect be?

I went and checked it out, though I'm not sure what its relation to the question was. I'm not that well versed in physics so if you could explain the relation id appreciate it.

thanks for that response. The character could theoretically have the ability to cut with that precision, her abilities are tied to giving more and more influence to two entities that represent Apathy and Rage, the more influence they gain also gives the character extra computational power in her...

that sounds nice, that actually gives me some ideas. For one, if the ability evolves in a way as to control the shape and not just the size of the area of the force release then that could lead to the creation of weapons like blades that only cut in a single moment before disappearing. I'll have...

the way the ability is meant to work is that you could say in a sense that it freezes the force in time and resumes it at a later time in a different position. kinda like pausing a movie, moving the TV then resuming the show. or you could think of it as sending that force forward in time to a...

ok then what would happen if instead of an infinitesimal size it would be the smallest possible. Not zero, but extremely small, like atomic or subatomic level?

So for a story I'm writing, there is a character with the ability to absorb force and store it (the force never impacts but its absorption works like pausing a movie). The force can be released (or resumed) through use of a circular space called a "rune". The character can control the size/area...
