The answer

"A judgment about something is a branch of its conception." However, regarding supernatural abilities in games and the like, what is permissible are those that do not involve claiming divine characteristics or godhood, nor imitate the actions of sorcerers and charlatans, nor contain any semblance of parity between the Creator and the created. Games that include these prohibitions are not permissible to program or sell; otherwise, they remain on the principle of permissibility.
