So for a story I'm writing, there is a character with the ability to absorb force and store it (the force never impacts but its absorption works like pausing a movie). The force can be released (or resumed) through use of a circular space called a "rune". The character can control the size/area of these runes. In some cases, they can create a rune of an infinitesimal area (or you could just say the smallest area possible if that works better for answering the question). Since pressure is a force over an area, then any force applied to an area of infinitesimal size would create infinite pressure. My question is: what are the effects and consequences of applying infinite pressure to something (or you can use the smallest area possible and some unit force for calculation (like 1 Newton) if that works better). What effects happen when applied to different substances or objects like walls, buildings, air, even people. I'd like to see what happens in this scenario to see different possibilities of how this character uses this ability.
