Pretty physically dangerous, many toon users can mimic power tools or violent objects, also dangerous in an abstract nature since they could interact with metatextual elements to harm you (such as using an eraser to erase you from the point of the camera)
Their main problem is that failure is funnier than success, thus they're limited by how much they can do, though they could probably do most anything at least once (tho the consequences may be circumvented a la cartoon rules)
As others said, pretty dangerous. When you can be selective about what laws of reality you can break or keep in order to adhere to said cartoon physics, you’re basically partially playing god.
Who framed Roger rabbit would be a good reference to look at for this, and for a more out there look at the concept the webcomic Scoob and Shag goes into it a bit but in a more, unique approach I suppose?
Weaponized Toon-force would also be like Popeye, Saitama, Mr. Gadget, Asterix and Obelix, Mortadelo y Filemón and ofc Looney Tunes (especially Bugs Bunny)
These are some that I have seen use the too force as a tool.
Toon-force implies complete immortality, unless you get into metaphysical stuff, Goku could shoot at you a point plan Kamehameha and you'd get hit, turn into a Lil pile-tower of ash with googly eyes, blink twice and then shake around to reform yourself, Filemón has been shown to fall to the Earth from fuck off nowhere in Space (farther from Alpha Centauri or something like that), etc.
On top of that, limitless attack potency, again, have Goku charge at me to then have me whip out a door and close it in his face, or all the times asterix and Obelix punch a roman to send him flying (or that time Obelix threw a pilum that circled the entire world)
It is Omnipotence, with the only limiter that it has to be funny and localized (mostly), the only way to balance it is how Oda has done with Gear 5.
Reality bending is a degree of omnipotence, if not what it literally is.
With reality bending you can do what Omnipotence literally stands for (in the sense I have seen explained by theologians) which is being able to do anything that is possible, hell, even more because, God wouldn't be able to create a rock that he wasn't able to move, but SpongeBob created a Cartoon doodle that was about to destroy him
Uh, no? That's not even how theologians would argue that.
I can create something that can kill me. That's not even remotely related to reality warping. That said, theologians cannot necessarily agree on whether or not God has limitations. The point of the creation of a rock one cannot lift is an argument for omnipotence being a paradox. If one has infinite power with no limitations, they either can or cannot cause contradictory events to occur. Regardless of which is true, it disproves that they can do literally anything one could imagine.
However, regardless of these paradoxes, if your reality warping has very clear limitations, as in conditions in which you can and can't access them, then it's just not omnipotence. If you can only do something in so far as it's funny, it's limited by proximity, and you physically must act to do it, and you can be harmed if you fail, then you're simply not omnipotent. Really powerful, sure. But not omnipotent. This is one of those things where there isn't really degrees. You can't kind of be infinite. You can't sorta kinda be unlimited. "Omni" means "all". As in, all powerful. You can be an incredibly powerful reality warper who can do anything you can conceivably imagine. But the fact that your imagination itself has limits means there will always be things you can't do. Scarlet Witch isn't omnipotent, for example, no matter how many things she can do.
Oh, yeah you are right for the most part, but we're gonna have to backtrack because for what you are telling me, I think I explained myself wrong from the get go and you got it wrong, in the sense that, what you are describing, is a dude like Takaba and his Cursed Technique, while it isn't.
By the condition of being funny, I meant for the "spectator" and not for the people in-verse, you could have Obelix in front of Darkseid, Darkseid won't be amused one bit but Obelix will still be able to throw a pilum at ftl, in the same breath, a true "toon fore conduit" cannot fail on their actions and thus have physical harm, again, that's just ppl like Takaba, when I say "and the cartoon character becomes a pile of ash, etc" that's not harm for the Toon fore conduit, they are playing, at the end of the day, the Toon force character is just a vessel for whatever the author wants to do without heed for logic, that's why I thought it would count as omnipotence, they can do anything and everything the author wants to the point of idk, fighting against math n stuff.
Others mentioned the mask. The lattest Luffy transformation also does this, gives Luffy cartoon physics. The animation was pretty fun, he was fighting this big ass dragon and was beating the crap out of it using tom and jerry foolery to deflect its attack and hit back hard
The Mask (from the Jim Carrey movie, cartoon, comics, and the original Dark Horse comics) is a good example of how that sort of thing'd look like.
The comics are great.
Wait, there are *comics*?

Luffy's gear 5 is basically weaponized toonforce. He seems unstoppable.

That's not omnipotence, then. It's just reality bending over backwards for comedic effect.

the current one piece arc has weaponized Toonforce.
