Normally in fiction, powers have some chance of failure, whether through lack of skill, [[Heroic Willpower]] on the part of the would-be victim, or [[Competitive Balance|some other factor]] that does not make the power 100% effective. But some powers are such that they work automatically if they hit, regardless of any special defenses, resistances, or countermeasures the person on the receiving end may have. You can't [[Glamour Failure|see through the illusion]], you can't cure the [[Universal Poison|poison]], you can't [[Fighting From the Inside|resist the mind control]], people hit by the [[Disintegrator Ray]] die instantly 100% of the time no matter [[Plot Armor|how important they are.]]
