@Lint:
I would completely like to defer. Imagination is something you can't control or measure or in your case count. By nature imagination is boundless; the reference point you speak of is something happen at the very subconscious level. Imagination might or might not stem from the concepts that exist in the real world. Now think about all the fantasy or supernatural novels or mangas in our case, does everything have a reference point or real world concept?
Imagination is vivid, wondrous and knows no bound. Truly a limitless entity.
care to explain where i wanted to count imagination? You sir must be imagine things :P
I don't blame you if you want to believe that, I don't deny that it has its romantism that way.
Nevertheless the burden of prove is on you.
Also again people seem to get thinking about/basic understanding of a concept mixed up with imagining it.
(I'll repeat it again, Imagining is related to the noun "image")
I've already proven that imagination is limited(again we are arguing right know simply the semantics because if we get into the practical level, yes you can imagine so many different things that it can get impossible to count them, as a human that is). Since you can't imagine things like moving in 4-dimensional space.
Also by nature imagination isn't boundless. Imagination is a product of all our experiences and retrospection of them (seriously read kant man).
It's all nice and dandy to want to believe in that, I mean I want to believe that we have something like a soul, alas science proves me wrong and we are indeed just the product of chemical reactions that are happening in our brain.
Now does that knowledge change my believe? No it doesn't. But do I have to acknowledge this fact when discussing it with others? yes i do (at least if I have any intention of discussing it.)

Alluka has the most overpowered ability in the world.
But, I too wondered if Alluka's parents can just wish away Alluka's powers. I don't think so, because she wouldn't be a threat if that were possible. I also wonder if there is an actual limit to her powers; can you wish for omnipotence? I think that's impossible too.
Babysit a 2-year old, and you'll learn exactly why it's called the "terrible two's".
Kids pester their parents to the max that they can.
Alluka's weird in that she doesn't.
Perhaps, there's a dark subconscious character to her that's controlling her without her knowing it. Maybe it fears her parents because they can kill her when they are in danger. Or maybe the subconscious doesn't want to injure the conscious part of her mind by killing her parents. I think it's the former, because she kills the people she likes, which were the servants.
Now I might leaning far out the window here but isn't it possible that since the zoldyck way is letting servants attend to their children and only partaking in bringing their children up when it comes to assassin training, that there's a natural distance build to her parents?
She of course gets that they are her parents and probably respects them on some level, but she simply may not be all close to them?
