Saw someone going through my Medaka Box tag and liking some of my old posts and it got my gears turning about how the Abnormality power system barely qualifies as a power system at all
Whereas something like Undead Unluck has a complex web of interactions between its various facets that are all governed by consistent and predictable rules (known as a Hard Power System), Medaka Box's Soft Power System makes very little attempt to codify any specific rules or distinctions between its constituent elements
For example, it's never clearly laid out what really differentiates a Plus or a Minus in the sense of what the powers are capable of. There was a point where it seemed like all Pluses gave the user some kind of internal ability while Minuses gave them the power to affect the world around them in some way, but that's quickly discarded by Pluses like Weighted Words (electrical signal projection) and Remodeling (effectively externalized shapeshifting with extra steps)
The capabilities of the powers are so vague that when Ajimu claims to have 13 quadrillion powers, half of which being Plus and half being Minus, there's almost never any attention paid to which ones are which when she's listing them off. Is Parasite Seeing, the skill to see through someone else's eyes, a Plus or a Minus? Who knows, it's never stated, nor is it ever dwelled upon
Because that's the real sticking point here: the narrative doesn't care about the powers themselves
When Minuses are first introduced, the powers aren't the part that any of the cast is worried about, it's the people using them
Mukae isn't an issue because Raff-Rafflesia forces her to decay anything she touches, she's an issue because she's obsessive and delusional. Her personality, her Mentality, is what allows her to be so flippant with such a passively hazardous ability
In other words, the powers themselves aren't really what's being classified when one is referred to as a Plus or Minus Abnormal, it's the origin of those powers and the people using them
The interaction between powers can't be called a system because there are no actual rules governing them; every time one character thinks they understand a rule, it turns out that it was just an assumption they made up. "Medaka's power is to perfect Abnormalities; if she perfects a Minus, it will bring it to its logical extreme and make her uncontrollable!" Except...no, it never does. She masters multiple Minuses with no ill effect because she doesn't have the matching Mentality
Plus and Minus are just labels, diagnoses of the user's state, and the powers themselves are otherwise just there so that the cast can have a way to fight beyond punching and kicking
This isn't an indictment of the writing quality, as I think the personality traits of the cast do follow consistent rules and patterns within their categories, but that really just illustrates my point: the power system is there as a way to blatantly highlight the personalities of the cast, not to create a unique and intricate form of combat that can only be found within its home series
#medaka box#power systems#then nisio created the Styles which IS a traditional power system with consistent rules and interactions#which is deliberately in context a REACTION to the asystemic Abnormalities#i have no idea if the point i'm trying to make is getting across with this but i've got bees in my brain that i need to get out

Something I really love doing is taking the power system from a piece of media and coming up with a completely new setting to explore it in. Some examples I’ve thought of include:
Nen (Hunter x Hunter):
While everyone can learn the same basic techniques, the true power of nen is to construct your own power based on your specialisation, skill, creativity, life experiences and training. You can also put arbitrary restrictions on your own abilities to increase their power (the stricter the more powerful). It’s overall one of the best designed power systems I’ve ever seen, and is honestly far too complex to explain fully here.
Imagine a setting in which specific groups/families hoard knowledge of how to construct specific nen abilities. Opposing factions would constantly be locked in an arms race and information war with their rivals. Struggling to steal each other’s knowledge and techniques, while at the same time developing and protecting their own.
This could be the stage for any number of supernatural, power based political/class dramas and/or conflicts. And that’s not even accounting for the chaotic influences of more random individuals with extremely specific techniques, agendas and allegiances.
Alternatively, in a less chaotic setting, you could have a school/academy for Nen. People learn the basic techniques and are then given guidance on how to construct their own Nen ability. You could slot this into any number of world settings.
Stands (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure):
A physical/ghostly manifestation of one’s soul, often with a specific ability and specialisation. The series already uses this power system amazingly in regards to fighting scenes. With characters having to juggle the effects of multiple complex abilities at once and try to outwit each other.
One thing JJBA doesn’t really do is explore the social ramifications of Stands. In part 8 there’s a few lines that explain how Stand users are often very secretive about their abilities, even to their close friends and family, as one’s Stand is literally a representation of of their soul, their true self. But the series never really goes any further with this idea.
Imagine how this could be used in a more socially intimate story. Explaining your Stand in detail to someone would be just about the most personal thing you could share with them. This could be used in a romantic setting. It could be used as a metaphor in a coming out story, to show someone’s acceptance or rejection of another’s true self.
Alternatively, if the setting is one where the general public knows about Stands (and people who have them are generally in the public eye), you could create a metaphor about how invasive and privacy destroying fame can be. The media, fans and internet constantly trying to pry as much personal information from you as possible, taken to 11 as the subject of their focus is your literal soul. This would also highlight the dangers involved, as having a well known Stand would make you more vulnerable to having its weaknesses exploited in combat.
Those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but feel free to share if you have any more ideas :)

Love when a show has like multiple power systems. Especially when like one of them is sort of seen as the cheater or reckless way out. Devil Fruits are cool, and zany and strong, but also come with extreme costs and can only get you so far, Haki is like the real power system and can reach even greater heights on its own. And then of course some of the most dangerous people are devil fruit users who also have mastered haki.

I think one of the many weird things I'm a slut for (found family, overly competent retiree comes out for one last ride, secret op psychic powers, ECT) I really enjoy "willpower" based power systems.
Like, Bleach has a sort of "spiritual pressure" thing that's sorta willpower related that's low-key hilarious when you realize it literally means that at a certain point 'small fry' can't even exist in your vicinity with it unleashed let alone try you. Then there's Katekyo Hitman Reborn with "dying will flames" that's a weird mix of pseudo personality type power and inherited that the fandom--to this day istg--has so much fucking fun with. Never get tired of seeing that played with by the way it's wack as shit.
So naturally, when I see "Haki" in One Piece I go apeshit. Really bite into it with my teeth and shake my head like a dog when folks toy with the ideas it has. What does having conquerors haki really mean. How far can you control it? Can you communicate with haki? Can you manipulate it to essentially disappear from even nonsensitive people's pov? Can you selectively use armor haki for specific limbs? Turn nails into knives or shield an unborn child? Can observation haki vary between users? Do some see the 'future' while others get a pseudo synthesia experience where they see too much of their surroundings all at once? Can you still lie with this haki active?
When something as nebulous as "willpower" becomes a valid force in the narrative, is there any real limit?
Is it possible to have an average, weak character become a force to reckon because they want it bad enough within this system? Not because they were born to stand but because they need it. They still understand what it means to be so pathetic they have to rip into every opportunity to live with their teeth or die. So it gives them an edge others can't have anymore, because they're so far removed from that kind of desperation.
Does it really take a powerhouse to stand up to a conqueror and say "No."? Or just someone sick and tired of being defined by how little their body can take?
"Even if it kills me, I refuse to bow."
Make me.
Idk, I just think it would be really fucking neat to see. Someone that, sure, they can't take on most of the strongest forces out there (if that). But if it comes to a battle of wills it's just a prime example of "an immovable object meets an unstoppable force".
Or hell, even someone that just doesn't fucking care if you're a conqueror, they want nothing to do with your wack ass. That would also be really fucking funny. A comedic take to this whole rambling the I've been going on about forever to the point I'm not sure if it makes sense anymore.
#one piece discussion#mittens rambles#feat#katekyo hitman reborn#power systems#either give me the most stubborn bastard in universe#or the most apathetic bitch in the world#just to watch overconfident pricks fall to pieces like waves against a mountain#also that scene in Undertale slaps you can kiss my ass about it

Magic in Shonen Jump
When I think about my Shonen Jump crossover, I often think about the interplay between different power systems
My general rule of thumb is that all "life forces" are comparable, so Ki, Nen, Chakra, etc. can all be used to strike a Devil Fruit user's true body the same way that Haki does
Then I got to thinking about Black Clover
At first, Magic/Mana seemed like it should function the same way, being a form of energy that exists in all living things, and therefore Asta's Anti-Magic should be capable of cutting/deflecting/absorbing/etc. any life energy-based ability within Jump
Buuut then I remembered that Black Clover's Magic very explicitly isn't life energy - much like Dragon Ball has both Ki and Magic, so too does Black Clover include Ki in its power system
So now the question becomes: what power systems does Asta's Anti-Magic work on?
Criteria
The exact definition of "magic" is pretty loose and can vary even within a series, as even Devil Fruits are referred to as either science or magic depending on cultural contexts and understanding within One Piece's world, so it's not as simple as "if it's called magic it's magic and if it's not, it's not"
That said, I think if it's referred to specifically as Magic or Mana and doesn't have a definition that somehow clashes with Black Clover's distinction between Mana and Ki, I think it's safe to just label it as Magic and be done with it. This means that the Magic in Mashle, Dragon Quest, Beelzebub, Muhyo & Roji, Magical Taruruto-Kun, etc. all qualify as Magic
Jujutsu Kaisen's Jujutsu literally translates to Sorcery, so we can reasonably assume it's a form of magic, especially since it's power source, Juryoku/Cursed Energy, is definitely not any form of Life Energy, deriving from negative emotions and needing to be polarically inverted in order to perform healing techniques
Along the same lines, if it's explicitly referred to as Ki or Life Energy, or clearly functions as Life Energy without having a clear parallel to what one would normally call Magic, then we'll put it in the Life Energy category. Dragon Ball's Ki/Chi obviously counts, and so do JoJo's Stands, as they are explicitly manifestations of Life Energy
Stands are also expressions of one's "fighting spirit" or willpower, so we can further extrapolate any willpower-based energy system to be Ki adjacent; this includes things like One Piece's Haki, Hokuto no Ken's Touki, Reborn's Dying Will, etc.
Spirit
Of course, the term "Spirit" has other connotations beyond willpower; it can also mean the soul, which is very literally tied to the concept of life. Therefore, I think that any system that uses Soul or Spirit Energy should, at their core, be considered Life Energies unless otherwise stated to have distinct properties
Undead Unluck, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Bleach all use something to that effect, with a deceased person becoming a ghost upon death and all powers being in some way derived from that fact (though UU kind of reverses that logic)
However, Bleach has an interesting caveat where, while all spiritual things are made up of Reishi/Spirit Particles, effectively soul atoms, which can be converted into Reiryoku/Spirit Power to perform Kido, which are effectively spells. In the same way that Black Clover's Mana exists both within the living and ambiently in nature, so too does Reishi. Obviously Reishi is distinct from Mana, but the usage of Reiryoku is quite similar, so to my mind, Spirit Particles are exempt from being affected by Anti-Magic, but Spirit Power is vulnerable to it. A Shinigami's body, which is made of Reishi, would be susceptible to Ki-based attacks but not Anti-Magic, while their Reiryoku-based abilities can be damaged/deflected/etc. by Anti-Magic
Shaman King's Furyoku/Shamanic Power, is similar to Reishi, in the sense that spiritual matter is made of it, though it isn't stated to exist ambiently. Rather, it's more of a measure of a Shaman's capacity to interact with Spirits and personally manifest them to be capable of interacting with the living world (Over Soul); in other words, while there is a spiritual energy within living things and deceased spirits, Furyoku itself is more akin to Bleach's Reiryoku, the power to bring about outcomes with that energy. Thus, Over Souls are effectively spells cast by the Shaman, and are therefore susceptible to Anti-Magic, though spirits cannot be exorcised or otherwise directly harmed by it. This is fortunate, as Furyoku has more recently been localized as Mana, meaning that we don't have to break the earlier established rule of Mana=Mana just because of an odd translation choice
Naruto is a particularly interesting case because while it does have two forms of Life Energy, in a Physical and Spiritual variety collectively known as Stamina, neither is ever really treated as the focus of Naruto's system. Instead, it focuses on the byproduct of those two base energies, Chakra. We've already made the argument that the refinement of basic energy into a manifested outcome leans towards Magic in both Bleach and Shaman King, but even if that argument falls through, Naruto's setting clearly sets it apart from the others; Chakra is not inherent to the people of its world. It was introduced to the world by a higher being, and it was then found to be replicable by mixing what was already present. Chakra is, technically, an external force that was effectively transplanted into the people of the world, making it quite definitively not a Life Energy in and of itself
Miscellaneous
Of course, the majority of power systems don't use either name at all, and need special considerations to be categorized as "Magic" or "Non-Magic"
Saint Seiya's Cosmo is difficult to qualify because technically it's based in science, using the energy from the bonds between atoms to manipulate matter. However, because we've already established that Mana is an ambient energy, that same logic should technically apply to Cosmo, as it is found in all matter, not specifically living things. Furthermore, Cosmo is used to often used to effect miracles and invoke the blessings of the Gods, which implies that Cosmo is a form of thaumaturgy; in other words, Magic
D. Gray-Man's Innocence is a semi-sentient material, so it's difficult to say for sure, but given that it seems to have divine origins, my inclination is to say that Innocence is miraculous, and therefore Magical for the purposes of this crossover. Because it is able to harm Akuma, manifestations of departed souls, I will concede that it has overlap with Life Energy and should still be able to harm Devil Fruit users, though
In contrast, Buso Renkin's Alchemy, while also utilizing weapons constructed of miraculous substances, is strictly scientific in nature. While it's far enough beyond real-world understanding of science to seem akin to magic, it does not draw on magical energies and instead specifically utilizes exaggerated scientific principles
Wholly biological abilities, like the physical enhancements of Demon Slayer's Breathing or the endocrine Someinine of Mission: Yozakura Family, definitely don't count in my book. Psychic powers like Psyren's PSI or abilities that are rooted in one's mentality like Medaka Box's Skills are technically biological in the sense that they're rooted in the brain, but the ability to manifest thoughts into the world is debatably a form of magic, but generally I have to say they're non-magical
However, Nurarihyon's Fear, while based in mentality and perception, is actually based on the perceptions of others; whereas psychic abilities derive from one's brainwaves, Fear is effectively manifesting the imagination of humans. Yokai are mystical in nature, so it stands to reason that their ability, which depends on human belief in the supernatural, would qualify as Magic
Fear in Chainsaw Man, however, is much more debatable. While the relative strength of a Devil is determined by how feared they are, what they're literally capable of is determined by the aspect of the world they represent. Devil Contracts are Faustian deals, which are akin to black magic, but they're never referred to as magical; it almost seems like Devils are a force of nature, simply facts that act as they please and able to affect whatever change in the world they like so long as they're properly compensated. In that sense, they almost seem divine, but their placement is treated so mundanely that it's hard to make a solid judgment. I'm inclined to say no, but I think I could be convinced that it is magical
Conclusion
This list is by no means exhaustive, as there are tons of Jump manga that I'm either unfamiliar with or just didn't go into detail on here, like World Trigger's Trion, Toriko's Appetite, or Yugioh's Ba (all stated to be Life Energies, though the use of Ba to summon monsters or Ka is almost certainly a form of spellcasting), so if there were some you wanted me to cover, let me know
I'm not even against Life Energies being considered magic, I just think they're typically more akin to what Black Clover calls Ki than to what it calls Mana, so if you have a case for why any should be reevaluated, I'd love to hear them
Honestly, I'm not really too hung up on it either way; like I said, Asta's ability to use Ki typically makes up for a lack of Anti-Magic vulnerability in most of his potential matchups, as he'd still be able to interact with spiritual energies just fine. This was just a fun thought experiment, and I hope anyone who reads it will enjoy it too!

A network of electrical components used to supply, transport, and consume electric power is referred to as an electric power system. The supply is provided by some sort of generation (for example, a power plant), the transfer is provided by a transmission (through a transmission line), and the consumption is provided by residential applications.
Industry, hospitals, commercial buildings, and households all have smaller power systems. The bulk of these systems run on three-phase AC power, which is the global standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution.
The power plants generate electricity at a low voltage level. Because it offers some distinct advantages, we keep the generation voltage modest. Low voltage generation puts less strain on the alternator's armature. As a result, we can build a smaller alternator with thinner and lighter insulation for low voltage generation.
The electric machine is an electromechanical energy converter that converts and delivers energy to the load. The same electric machine can transfer electrical power to mechanical power by acting as a motor, or it can convert mechanical power to electrical power by acting as a generator.
You can look for electric power systems in California as your service.
