Continuation from here which upgraded the cast to low 1-C based on the Labrinth of Time.
There are few places where Eternals can unleash their full power (Chapter 2). Eternals can exist in any world, but in exchange, their maximum strength is limited by the amount of mana that exist in each world (Chapter 5), this is why despite being superior to the spirits of Phantasmagoria, Tokimi's strength isn't insurmountable to them (Chapter 5).
It's noted by Yuuto that his strength decreased when he left the Labyrinth of Time (Chapter 5).
Not only does mana exist everywhere, humans despite having flesh and blood have souls made up of mana, meanwhile Spirits, Etrangers etc are made up of pure mana (Aselia the Eternal, Chapter 3), being described as life made manifest. Mana is stated to exist everywhere, and since Yuuto's soul is conceptual it isn't bound by distance or space, so his body can be reconstructed anywhere, because mana exists everywhere (Aselia the Eternal, Chapter 3).
So essentially all humans have souls made up of mana, but the souls of Spirits and Etrangers are made up of pure mana, which is why it's a conceptual thing which has no restrictions. Spirits are beings which are close to being Eternals (Chapter 4). If mana vanishes, everything will completely disappear (Chapter 5) except for Eternals, and mana/energy even exists within the Labyrinth of Time (Chapter 5), which is stated to be purified energy, also evident by the fact they are stronger in the Labyrinth of Time, and their strength depends on mana, meaning it has more mana there. So far I have established that mana is a fundamental thing which exists everywhere in the world, and without which, the world can't exist, it not only makes up souls, but also is conceptual. I think mana is a type 2 concept.
Battles between Eternal's are all about shaving away their opponent's mana, it's irrelevant where they are injured as a result, Eternal's can just regenerate, what's important is how much mental damage you can do (Chapter 5). So to truly kill an Eternal you have to damage them mentally, and the mind has been proven to be equivalent to the soul (Chapter 3), and going back to what I posted before, an Etranger's soul is pure mana, and below an Eternal's soul, is conceptual, so really the "soul" damage you need to kill them is actually conceptual damage, Eternal's should have Mid-Godly Regen, for being able to regen as long as they aren't completely conceptually destroyed, along with Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) due to being able able to shave off each others mana, attacking each others conceptual soul/mind.
When Eternal's enter a world, their bodies are reconstructed using the mana of that world (Chapter 5). They don't fall under the usual categories, and exist more as information than organisms (Chapter 5). So an Eternal's true nature is information, hence why they can go anywhere, but once they get to a world, their bodies are reconstructed using the mana of that world. In terms of what type to consider this information as, it's information which can exist in any world (Chapter 5), as Eternal's can exist in any world, also as I already posted before, mana is a fundamental thing which exist everywhere and without it, everything disappears, yet Eternal's can continue to exist despite that (Chapter 5), though I guess in the latter case it could be interpreted that even if they were completely destroyed conceptually, they would still exist in the form of information, which makes sense thinking about it.
There is an argument to made based on the sequel, Seinarukana where everything within the Time Tree is made of Et Ca Repha's mana's, and as a result the cast there can convert themselves from mana to the information of the Log Sector which controls all of reality. Should also be noted that Euphoria who is the child of Yuuto, the protag of the first game, journeyed along side the cast of the 2nd game, so the logic is consistent that Eternal could go from being mana to pure information, though there was a retcon between both games where Eternal's in the 2nd game are no longer restricted by the amount of mana that exists, so not too sure about backscaling this sort of thing, so I think for the original game, we should take an Eternal's true form to be information.
So putting it all together, the true form of Eternal's is information, and even nuking everything that exists in the form of getting rid of mana, won't kill them. Temuorin who is an Eternal was killed by other Eternal's, but its stated she can't be completely destroyed (Chapter 5), the cast will meet her again but not for this specific fight. I interpret this as meaning due to being information, Eternal's can't be killed permanently, and at some point can reappear where they were killed, as in the case of mana being nuked in a world. I think this is an argument for AE type 2, since they are information, you can't permanently kill them without affecting that, otherwise they resurrect.
Mana is a fundamental thing which exists in all worlds, even in the Labyrinth which transcends time and space, and makes worlds look small in comparison to itself, the amount of mana varies between worlds, and if there is none, the world ceases to exist, Eternal's are limited by the amount of mana that exists, which is why their strength changes between worlds.
Mana makes up souls, and purer versions make up concepts. Spirits and Etrangers are mana made manifest essentially mana given physical form, but their souls being pure mana are conceptual. The nature of Spirits are close to Eternals, but obviously Eternals exist within a space which contains even purer mana/energy, and are beings of information that can exist anywhere.
Eternals can only die when dealt wounds to their mind/soul/concept, thus should get Mid-Godly regen.
Eternals being able to kill each other would give Type 2 Conceptual Manipulation, and the true form/nature of Eternals should be Type 2 Information. Even after being supposedly killed by each other, Eternal's don't completely die, as they can't be completely destroyed due to their nature being information, so they should get Abstract Existence Type 2 for their true form
Concept Manipulation (Type 2)
There are few places where Eternals can unleash their full power (Chapter 2). Eternals can exist in any world, but in exchange, their maximum strength is limited by the amount of mana that exist in each world (Chapter 5), this is why despite being superior to the spirits of Phantasmagoria, Tokimi's strength isn't insurmountable to them (Chapter 5).

Abstract Existence Type 2 [Information Manipulation (Type 2)]
When Eternal's enter a world, their bodies are reconstructed using the mana of that world (Chapter 5). They don't fall under the usual categories, and exist more as information than organisms (Chapter 5). So an Eternal's true nature is information, hence why they can go anywhere, but once they get to a world, their bodies are reconstructed using the mana of that world.

TLDR
Mana is a fundamental thing which exists in all worlds, even in the Labyrinth which transcends time and space, and makes worlds look small in comparison to itself, the amount of mana varies between worlds, and if there is none, the world ceases to exist, Eternal's are limited by the amount of mana that exists, which is why their strength changes between worlds.
