A little doubt about immortality

[Hp. Hoodedcobra666]

Immortality as a basic level is simply not ageing and restoring yourself if you are older to prior longevity.

One can still die from things described.

You would think that with the more advanced mage, i.e. God or Goddess, it would be less-likely that They would die the more They advanced. Consider freak shows/circuses/carnivals (Frank "Canonball" Richards), where you have a fat man being shot in his fat belly by a cannon. He must have started off with something like a tennis ball or something.

According to Wikipaedia,

Richards began by letting people (including heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey) punch him in the gut. Dempsey hit him in the stomach a reported total of seventy-five times.[2] He then progressed to letting people jump on his belly, being struck by a two-by-four, being struck by a sledgehammer, and finally being shot by a 104-lb. (47 kg) cannonball from a spring-loaded 12 ft. (3.6 m) cannon.[3] Richards limited his cannonball act to twice per day, as performing it more often was too painful.

I'm lolling - more than twice was painful? Only?!

One day, if he lived long enough, he'd be able to get run into his belly by a freight train and survive! I wonder what he died of. Not enough meditating, I bet! I think it was said that after a certain point, a God or Goddess could stand in a volcano and survive, as silly as that sounds. If you're able successfully to control weather and control matter and control energy, then it might not sound, or be, all that silly.

Immortality doesn't mean invulnerability. The latter is a progressive skill, I bet.

That’s true.
Here on earth we have practices like iron shirt which I believe use the chi to make damages from punches or whatever little to none, and that’s something that we can do, so it doesent require godlike level to do. they must have an incredible power of being able to control anything, lets say something is thrown at them, they may use telekinesis to just stop anything directed at them with the super consciousness they have. Their powers are things we can’t even immagine about.
