Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2)
The thread was originally accepted here, honestly I don't see anything that states the Shades are concepts other than the concept of time one which wouldn't work since it talks about the concept of time as something that only exists in the mind. This is refering to when Otto Apocalypse talks about how concept of time is fundamentally different in each realms, it doesn't talk about time as a concept itself but rather as a direction. The same thing applies with Wenut when they talked on how there's no concept of time, so it's more of like a timeless void if anything. But my main problem is that the Shades are obviously meant to replace the Moons who govern over these life-death, space-time aspects and it's also explained here that the Moons are still alive somehow even after Heavenly Principles killed them, so whilst Phanes is universal: the Shades aren't, unless we're going to say that the Moons are also universal despite this existing and also conceptual in nature.So, would the Heavenly Principles who killed them made the Shades as the only aspects of Teyvat? No, Dottore proved the otherwise and it's heavily implied that the 3 Moons still existed. This would meant that the Shades and the Moons both govern said aspect: life-death, space-time. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but Istaroth here is only an aspect of time, not time itself as a dimension. The justification for Istaroth being the temporal dimension is off the temporal omnipresence where she's all moments. Unless, the Moons would also be the temporal dimension?
There are 3 options:
1. The Moons are CM2
2. The Shades & Moons are CM3
3. They aren't CM3 because it's idealism
Option 1 wouldn't work, since CM2 is only for one concept, there cannot be two fundamentally different character that is the same concept unless they are one
I prefer with option 2 since they're tangible, but at the same time I prefer with option 3 since there's no statement about them being stated to be concepts other than like the concept of time stuff which wouldn't work that well: They're stated to be the laws of Teyvat so instead they'd be Law Manipulation and their respective ability like Istaroth with Time Manipulation and so on
Since this got to 9 pages even though 2 mods accepted it back when it was only 1 and a half page, here's my TLDR and my arguments against the opponent
Genshin Impact — Conceptual Moons (Accepted, but still require further clarifications)
so you disagree with OP? Obviously, and this was easy to debunk than i expected.
Genshin Impact — Conceptual Moons (Accepted, but still require further clarifications)
So then, would you agree that there could be multiple entities, despite them being distinct and fundamentally different to each other, to be the same concept and have it labeled as CM2 even though what they governed is the same? Both are embodiments of said aspects, both govern said aspects in...
