"You're my twin. You're literally my other half... Just... Just read it."

He has the background for it, and the power to pull one out anywhere.

Also, he's Ukrainian, raised in Japan and Britain.

Razor wire's too small for him to command, and he can just whip out an actual shiv anyway.

...or he could command ten knives to hop to chopping that meat over there into small cubes.

Point taken. I just thought of that one myself, although why he can't just bring out a katana himself and stab you, I dunno. More efficient.

Yep. That is why Domovoi are limited in extent. Otherwise he could literally, at a certain level of power, tell the spirits of the school's walls to collapse themselves on everyone.

The last time one Domovoi was removed in limits, he basically had to be dogpiled with serious magical shit before he stopped, and they had to gag the fucker while he tried to shiv them.

Well, if it's just charisma and negotiation skill, can't he just focus on that? Hell, I had a type of pseudo-eldritch entity in a setting of mine that literally negotiates so effectively that anyone too close to it would quickly find that they have been convinced to make legally binding agreements that screw themselves over without even remembering signing them.

Physical limitation. He CAN'T do it, not without some very powerful being breaking that limit off of him.

It's not that Yuri can't do anything, it's that his abilities are basically limited by whatever would make him the best servant possible.

"I can only command an object to do what it is made for, and nothing else. As I stated, I can tell a mop to clean water and other liquids, but I cannot tell it to protect me, even if I could pick it up and defend myself with it. Similarly, I can tell a coffee maker to make coffee, but I cannot specify what style, and I must supply it with beans and water for it do make the coffee.

It is also limited in extent to what I can command with it. It seems to be limited to any device smaller than a mini fridge, or anything simpler than a hand-pushed lawnmower should it be larger. Most times, it is better for me to do these tasks myself and use my commands to cover simpler tasks.

Similarly, my Presdigitation is limited to objects I can carry with two hands that are no longer than a broadsword, and no wider than a car door."
