Anyways, Poeās ability is really cool for several reasons, aka 11 fun facts about Poeās ability āBlack cat in the Rue morgueā not only does it NULLIFY (Like Dazaiās ability) which Iām not talking about because BOO
But is also slows down time we see this when Ranpo and Yosano are transported into āHouse of tragediesā they spend around 1-2 hours there, but in the real world only 10-20 minutes have passed. (Like a rip off Little Woman! [Louisaās Ability])
That, and it can change a victims stateā I think, or at least keep them regulated even if they are damaged, this is shown in chapter 83.5 when Fukuchi aims to attack Atsushi, but instead hits Ranpoā Ranpo then reads Poeās novel and is able to use the ability, which brings us onto our fourth thing.
IT CAN BRING PEOPLE INTO NOVELS. IT TAKES PEOPLE INTO ANOTHER WORLD. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU BURN THE BOOK WHILST SOMEONE IS IN IT?? WHAT IF YOU ERASE AND WRITE WORDS?? (Kinda like Lucyās ability exceptā¦ uncontrollable)
Poeās ability is able to be used by all he allows, this is used a LOT by Ranpo so I wonāt use any examples, but this is the same way Akutagawa gave rashomon to Atsushi to create āBlack Clawā Iām assuming itās like Akutagawaās in a different way, as Akutagawaās was combined with Atsushiās, what I mean by this is that Poeās ability isnāt automatically created as soon as someone reads his work, this is again found out when we see Louisa proof checking Poeās stories. (So, like.. Rashomonā¦ kinda)
Poeās ability is long distance too, meaning if he were to simply leave a poem out or send a text message with his storyā he could activate it, this uses two examples, with when he uses it on Mushitaro in the car, and literally every other instance than the first time we see him use it. (So does this mean he gains a point on Dazai?? Well never know)
Poe can write a short story and tape it to a pole and still activate it as long as they read one word.
If there is a person near the victim of Poeās ability they may also be drawn in, but this isnāt a fact. Im assuming this from when Ranpo fights Chuuya, seeing only Chuuya read the words, not Ranpo.
As long as a person understands itās words or text of a sort, his ability can still be activated, so if he went up to someone who doesnāt read/speak English, and showed them his book, it could still be activated, again this is from Mushitaro.
Poeās ability is painful by the way, upon activation it feels like your floating in a place between reality and fiction, your throat is blocked and up your unable to breathe, having too much air and too little a once, your ribs are closing in on you like your own death sentence before your freed into his world.
Poeās ability is the opposite yet same as āThe Bookāsā In using the book, you write the story, but in Poeās he writes it, the book makes the fiction you write a reality, aka bringing fiction to you, whereas Poeās brings you to fiction, a world of his creation.
