And yet, somehow, in ways inexplicable to we mortals including the Fighter himself, those limits that really are there...are somehow exceeded. They never trained in any way that wasn't mundane, other than facing off against powerful threats. They never practiced any kind of magic. They never said any mumbo-jumbo, they never got any special divine boon, they never found some hidden wellspring of power that revealed that what they thought were limits were never really limits at all.The limits are there. And then...they exceed those limits anyway.That's specifically what it means to be transmundane. To have limits, and yet become so superlatively skilled at mundane acts, they somehow, inexplicably, push past those limits. Not infinitely far--as I've explicitly said, there are some things that are just straight-up magic, like conjuring objects truly out of thin air. Not even necessarily all that far at all. That's how you know the limits are still there. But somehow, some way, by something ineffable and beautiful about mortal grit and determination, they stand in defiance of that Demon Lord and tell her, "Is that all you got?"</blockquote>
