Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Power is fluid, selective, and relative!. Fluid: One can have power over another, but to some degree the other person must agree (think pursuasion and peer pressure-at some point the target chooses to submit)!. Selective: One can take power physically attempting to have complete power, but can't achieve full power (think Nelson Mandela in prison-they had his body but not his soul)!. Relative: One can seemingly have a lot of power but no one has ultimate power (think death-no one can overpower this)!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Physical power is no illusion!. However, the illusion of power can be created physically or mentally, and that illusion affects the beholder mentally!. Then again, mental power can be real, though it needs the consent of the beholder!. Examples:

Real power: Strong arms can push people around!. A moving car can hit and kill someone!.

Illusory physical power: Birds and animals puff up their feathers or fur to look stronger than they are!. Men show off their biceps!. But they may not actually be strong, they may just look it!.

Mental power is demonstrated when a person quells with a look or speaks in a tone that causes the other party to do what the first one wants, such as quiet down or do that person's bidding!. But it's illusory, as the other person can always resist or disobey it!.

If it's backed by a threat, whether spoken or unspoken, carrying out the threat might be the real physical power behind it, such as threatening to hurt or kill!. But what if the threat is to publicize a secret!? That's more mental, but it still gives the person real power!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
