Paramecia is one of the three Devil Fruit types, being the most common out of them. This type of Devil Fruit allows the user to achieve one of a large variety of abilities that enable their consumers to become superhuman or perform a superhuman feat.
Overview[]
The defining aspect of Paramecia fruit abilities is that they do not enable the user to transform into an animal like a Zoan, or transform into a natural element like a Logia. Thus, Paramecia encompasses a massive range of wildly varying powers. That being said, just about every Paramecia ability can be placed in three general categories: altering the user's body, altering the environment, and generating a substance. Some fruits can only fall into one of these categories, while others can fall into multiple depending on how they're used.
Bodily Alteration[]
Bodily alteration caused by Paramecia fruits comes in many forms. Some fruits permanently change the composition of the user's body, and even if they are rendered unable to use their Devil Fruit ability, they will still take effect if acted upon by an outside force. Other Paramecia users are able to alter their body on command, with some users being able to transform certain parts of their body into other things, both organic and inorganic. In almost all instances, abilities that transform body parts into inanimate objects do not make their bodies intangible like a Logia transformation. Alternatively, the user may be able to change a property of their body.
Specific types of paramecia fruits has been called a "special Paramecia" (ç¹æ®ãª tokushuna Paramishia). It is an exception to the typical properties of a body altering Paramecia, as it possesses abilities identical to those of a Logia, such as the user transforming into their specific substance, being blown apart by attacks only to reform, or keeping objects hidden within the substance of their body. The only known difference between this fruit and Logia fruits is that the substance the user transforms into is man-made rather than naturally occurring.
Additionally, some Paramecia users are able to alter their bodies by interacting with the environment in a certain way.
Environmental Alteration[]
Environment-altering Paramecias enable their users to achieve an unnatural effect on their environment. Some of these fruits work best on living organisms, some work best on inanimate objects, and others work equally well on anything. Many of these users are able to alter something around them by simply touching it, while others can produce a certain substance that is used to achieve the desired effect. A few fruits can create a special zone in which their alteration takes effect. An environment altering user may gain a special level of control over a certain type of object, including objects that normal people would not be able to interact with.
Alternatively, the user might transform part of their body to achieve the effect. Some body-altering Paramecia users are also capable of applying the alteration to the surrounding environment, usually by touching it. Several of these fruits can only extend their power to inanimate objects. although some can still affect other living beings.
Substance Generation[]
Finally, some Paramecia fruits are capable of generating a specific substance. Many of these powers resemble Logia users' substance generation, as they typically enable the user to create a near-limitless amount of their substance and shape it with their minds as they please. However, users of these fruits cannot transform their bodies into a substance like Logia users can. The substances that Paramecia users can generate are distinctive from Logia substances in that Paramecia-generated substances are typically refined and manmade, while Logia substances are naturally occurring. Some fruits generate extremely refined objects. A few fruits can generate forces.
A few substance generating fruits stand out from the others, as the substances they create are unnatural with very unique effects on the surrounding environment. Additionally, some fruits generate substances which are real but have unusual and sometimes even supernatural properties.

Strengths[]
By eating a Paramecia fruit, a person will receive a superhuman ability, allowing them to perform actions that would be impossible for a normal person to do, and in some instances survive events that would otherwise kill them. Many advantages granted by Paramecia fruits can be applied in battle, particularly if the user is well-trained with their fruit. Some Paramecia fruits are capable of doing more than just harming enemies physically. If a user can alter the environment around them, they may be able to use outside objects to their benefit in battle, or have a particular advantage against a certain type of opponent.
If a Paramecia user has an altered body, they may be able to play off their environment in ways that would normally be dangerous. Certain Paramecia users' bodies will become immune to the effects of their powers. However, not every Paramecia user is granted this advantage.
A Paramecia fruit may also offer a valuable superhuman skill that goes beyond fighting.
Overall, many Paramecia users who have a large amount of experience and training with their fruit have shown the ability to use their fruits in a large variety of ways, both for combat and self-benefit. This is typically best seen with experienced users in the New World. However, there are other people who have been shown using their fruits for a more limited purpose, but remain powerful in combat.
Although Paramecia fruits do not enable the user to transform their bodies into substances, this means that, unlike Logia users, the substances Paramecia users generate are not considered part of their body. This means that attacking a Paramecia user's generated substance with Busoshoku Haki will do no harm to the user. Skilled substance generating users, particularly ones capable of near-infinite generating, have frequently increased their battle prowess by assembling a wide variety of creations with their substance, particularly golems directly fight alongside or even in place of them, as well as ones they can inhabit.
Awakening[]
Like all Devil Fruit abilities, Paramecia types can also be "awakened", attaining the ability to use their Devil Fruits at a new level of strength and in different manners than they originally could. Noted that such a feat makes it no longer appear to be the power of a mere Paramecia.
Environment Modification[]
An awakened Paramicia allows the user to spread their power beyond their own body and transform inorganic material around them to match the nature of their Fruit. As well as manipulate the transformed material in any way they desire. The transformation effect can be spread over a very wide area.
The main difference between awakening and Devil Fruits that allow the user to transform and manipulate the environment in the unawakened stage is that awakening allows one to transform the environment from afar, as well as control it with just their mind. Unawakened environment manipulating Devil Fruits require the user to touch what they wish to transform, and often requires bodily movement to be controlled.
Weakness[]
Paramecia is the only class of Devil Fruit that contains fruits with little to no use in battle, in contrast to Zoans which are suited for close combat and Logias whose transformations grant massive offensive and defensive power boosts. Other Paramecia fruits have only been shown to be useful against enemies with an advanced application of the power, or strategic usage of it.
Additionally, whether or not a Paramecia user can effectively use their power can often depend on what environment they are in. For the most part, a Paramecia ability cannot sustain a user in high-level combat by itself, even if it is useful in battle; just about every powerful Paramecia user has developed a variety of combat skills and acquired weapons to utilize alongside their power, and Paramecia users that have demonstrated few abilities other than their Devil Fruit will typically be easily beaten by a member of the former group. Paramecia abilities can frequently be highly complex and tricky for the user to grow accustomed to, so special training is frequently needed to hone the fruit's abilities effectively.
If used improperly or carelessly, a Paramecia ability may be dangerous to its user and any allies the user has around them, especially if the ability is extremely powerful and destructive by nature. Some Paramecia abilities can apply their effect to the user themselves.
Paramecia abilities, particularly environment altering ones, typically have some sort of limitation which can at times be arbitrary. An environment altering fruit may only affect inanimate objects, an effect created by a fruit ability may only last for a short time, a body altering user can typically only alter their body by a certain amount, and users who can generate a special substance might be limited in the amount they can generate. Some of these fruits' limits can be expanded by training, while others are always in effect. Thus, it can often be important when fighting a Paramecia user to determine the limits of their fruit and exploit it. Some fruits that affect living organisms can be limited depending on a trait of the organism.
Some fruits are officially considered superior to others because they possess similar abilities but fewer limitations. However, having a superior Devil Fruit does not automatically make the user superior in combat.
Paramecia fruits do not allow the user to transform into an intangible substance. Thus, they cannot phase through attacks like Logia users can.
Certain Devil Fruits may tax the user's stamina, especially after heavy use. Certain advanced Devil Fruit applications can also shorten a user's lifespan
The effects and creations of environment-altering and substance-generating fruits may cease to exist if the user is knocked unconscious or is severely injured. Thus, if a Paramecia user seeks to create or maintain a long-term effect, they and their allies must be cautious about attempts to take them out and undo the effect. Additionally, some fruit abilities may be manifested regardless of whether the user wants them to be.
Paramecia users with specially transformed bodies may prove susceptible to Busoshoku Haki-imbued attacks much like a Logia user, and can thus be injured by Haki attacks that would normally not harm them.
