It's also so that I could avoid debauchery like.... this article.

To me, everything else except for the aforementioned section is considered to be vital and filled out as a mandatory. To me, they're complete and fine like that. People will still get the jist of my character's power if I fill out everything else. With you, Alpha, I think there's a difference between being descriptive and just being ridiculous. Especially since we've seen characters who can wield Six Dragon Slayer Magics and perform clusterfucks with TIME ITSELF. Njalm said it best, there's no such thing as overpowered as long as it makes inherent sense. As in, not being ridiculously impossible. If you wrote "Devin can create squared circles with his magic" then there would be problem. But cutting raindrops? I can go outside right now and do that. I won't if I'm actually doing it, but I'm sure a few water drops would dread the day I tried to prove a point.
