So when entering a tournament of this free-form nature: you must explain your abilities a bit more thoroughly and understand it may not operate as widely as it does back at your home site(s). This is why Dias's profile has an addendum noting TZDL's version of his Ether Burn.

To be fair, the point of 'Ether', as our particular crew uses the term, is actually to allow for greater interplayability between characters.  If Player A, for example, uses a system of 'Ki' as his personal energy, with a bunch of ways to manipulate, attack with, and defend against Ki, then that's cool.  Say he goes up against Player B, who uses a system of 'Prana' as his personal energy, with manipulations, attacks, and defenses for Prana.  

The way you seem to be arguing it, these two would be completely unable to defend against each other's abilities and whoever shoots first wins, because 'Ki' doesn't interact with 'Prana'.  Luchalliance players, however, have adopted a system whereby just about all mystical/supernatural phemonenon fall under the broad heading of 'Ether', and in which any/all users of ethereal abilities are able to match with any/all other users of ethereal abilities.  Player A's Ki-based defenses and manipulations work against Player B's Prana-based manipulations and defenses, and vice versa.  The system is intended to universalize applicability between different schools of magic or energy manipulation to better facilitate play.

This concept is so fundamental to how we play that I'm not actually surprised nobody ever explained it, we just assume it without thinking about it, but nobody here is trying to get one over on the rest of the tournament.  Our stuff works on you because you're a body and that's what it's targeted at, but in turn [i]all of your stuff[/i] also works on [i]us[/i], because they're ethereal abilities and they interact with our ethereal abilities in the way they're meant to.

Because that is literally the point of Fair Play.
