What we classify as a powerup in the Omniverse is something that increases stats for all attacks. So if Dante makes a Devil Trigger that increases the ATK of all his moves at the cost of health ... that can't be done unless it's a powerup.
But increasing the strength of individual moves? That's as easy as adding a chargeup. Quoth the moves page: "If your character attacks with six times the strength of a normal punch, they'd better have six times the windup, or leave you winded because of how fatiguing it was."
Since Gyo only affects the strength of individual body parts in attack/defense (and Shu only affects the damage/defense of individual weapons) it's a move, not a powerup. Perhaps I should clarify that; it might sound like he could also, for example, shoot an energy blast out of that hand and have it be 10x the power. That's not the case. I believe I covered it with "He also can't do anything technical while trying to focus his aura, including most moves, as trying to do two at once would be simply impossible." Let me know on this if you guys saw/understood that so if necessary I can clear up the description.
I do think, Amaterasu, that you've got a point about the thrown weapon move, I was actually feeling that myself but decided to see if it would fly with others I should probably increase it to 600/900 OM and make it a variable move unless I'm very specific about the size/shape of the object I'm using. Then again, another part of me feels like it's just an extension of Physical Strength like a weapon, and it's stuff that I could already do, so ... it's a debatable one.
The same debate applies to Shu. I might have to get Alex in here for his opinion, since it's rather unprecedented, and I could go either way but I'm biased in this case. It's definitely a move that could lend itself to godmoding under the wrong player, so I'm wondering if I would approve it to someone else. For example, making up convenient scenery to use Gyo on (like a tree branch that he could imbue with Gyo, and then the enemy smacks into it instead of barging through it). But I think that would come under the same rules as usual godmoding personally, and I'd probably allow it as long as it was well-delineated.
