Marvel CM 1 Problems

You can only fix wank by… fixing wank. You can’t js say “oh, well X verse wanks so it’s justified when I do it”; that will js keep propaganda the issue even more.
At the same time, how is it fair to go after one verse and ignore others that use the same reasoning for CM1. That leads to things such as unfair vs debates.

Marvel Magic's concept hax being NCA when other verses with lesser reasoning have combat Applicable CM isn't fair. It's basically playing favorites.

Like I said on discord Let’s just add a note that says most of the haxes of basic magic are non combat applicable for most sorcerers, boom everyone’s mostly happy when it comes to marvel, the other verses can have their supporters deal with it

I know it’s unfair. It’s literally the biggest issue on the site.
 
Why dualities (verse state it as dualities and literally conceptual beings which work as opposite to other beings like life and Death) not are... dualities?
it’s just what our standards say I guess, this isn’t the thread to change the standards, this is the thread to make sure marvel fits the standards

I mean magic still affects souls which are personal type 1 concepts so if magic's own CM1 is ruled as non-combat applicable it's not that big a change, I'm moreso concerned about the principle of it.
 
It’s totally not suspicious that magic is just a bunch of energy, definitely not at all. Very interesting how this energy can be converted into other materials. Totally not eye-raising how that’s not what a universal is in any way, mhm. Also, definitely not the exact reason why Hoyo lost CM1, as well. Absolutely, definitely not. 🤥


Man, a lot of this sure is hella fluff now that I read it. Some of this stuff doesn’t even faithfully relegate what the scans themselves say, nor do they even seem to actually imply CM1.

But what do I know. There’s probably some 40 year old issue that just so happens to fix all these problems. It definitely will contradict a shitton of stuff later on, but this is comics so it doesn’t matter, I guess.
Totally not sus

How are souls personal type 1 concepts?
 
How are souls personal type 1 concepts?

I'm working on polishing the justifications in an upcoming revision, but there's also this:

Souls are a combination of one's self, mind, and memory. and physical matter cannot survive in the Astral Plane without defensive technologies, necessitating the creation of the Altar by Legion to allow physical laws on the border of the Astral Plane, and without Legion maintaining Altar's walls and physics the Altar would collapse, with every person and physical being within the Altar being cosmically dissolved and dissipated into Gaiman-esque abstractions.
 
Aint this just souls and the soq/ims😭😭😭😭😭

You probably wouldnt know what im talking abt but thats the exact sane stuff as hoyo yet we lost cm1.

Neutral on the OP’s thread, but I don’t expect anything to being always fair and the unfairness is also subjective to many factors as well hence I generally don’t go out of way to do any Versus Debating despite being a member since VSBW is technically a indexing site firstmost despite the name.

Versus Debating is considered secondary IIRC.

Anyway, I won’t provide any input on this thread as well.

CM type 1 don’t need to Universe big, just independent of what they encompases, is same way of divine forms of platonism that our souls represent a greater existence than is separe of and beyond the material world, the area of influence can be whatever

1. Independent Universal Concepts: Such concepts are completely independent from the part of reality they govern, except maybe of other concepts of this nature. These concepts shape all of reality within their area of influence and at whatever level that area exists in, and everything in it "participates" in these concepts. For example, a circular object is circular because it is "participating" in the concept of "circle-ness". In this way, the alteration of these concepts will change every object of the concept across all of their area of influence, while the opposite wouldn't affect the concept.

Also magic and souls are state to be a concept

No, it depend if the verse define dualities, otherwise our own standard are wrong becuase Is said "true" and "false" count as dualities, not "true" and "non-true", as well there is this part:

As the way things with Paraconsistent Physiology interact is dictated by their own logic, none of these effects is set in stone, though. As a result, a fiction needs to explain how the interactions function for us to assume a particular outcome.
The basic representation of dualities relate to "red" and "non-red" is in case there no exist any definition

This is not CM1. At all. Like, not even close.

I’m assuming that there’s much better proof inside the page (which I’m too lazy to read), but considering how grossly misrepresented CM1 is here, I have veryyyy low hopes. You can’t js be a “greater existence” arbitrarily.

Fair point

I think the fact they arent universal says enough that souls shouldnt qualify. I can see info2 tho

Buddy I helped make the Aeon Physiology page, I've been paying close attention to Honkai stuff.

I wanted the Honkai verse to be as strong as Marvel so I could make them fight.

Doesn't the first scan Essoss sent litterally say magic is a universal energy

Alright, lets ignore the basic of platón which is how our system is based on
"Plato believed that long before our bodies ever existed, our souls existed and inhabited heaven, where they became directly acquainted with the forms themselves"

Lets ignore the conceptual page, textually explain that types are based on their area of influence and if they are unaffected or no by the end of the object their encompases
 
I think someone already said what I wanted to say before but I will still say it. Firstly I am neutral on PP & NEP stuff because I honestly haven't looked at the justifications so I won't comment on that now moving on.
CM-1
Firstly I would suggest everyone to read this section
Magic as an Independent Universal Concept
Now the conclusion
Essentially Magic itself if a type-1 fundamental concept no different from the type-1 concept of say Death or Life etc. As a fundamental concept it's only logical for those that manipulate Magic to get CM-1 because that's what manipulating a type-1 concept entails. Since this thread doesn't debunk Magic itself being type-1 it's nonsensical to propose those that manipulate Magic not having CM-1.
Now about combat application, yes I agree with OP not everyone and their grandmother should have CM-1 that's combat applicable. CM-1 is a very versatile hax as such it should be specified on pages what the characters are capable of achieving with the CM-1 whether it be shooting generic blasts, conjuring explosions or building a house. Do note that it's CM-1 regardless it's just that someone who can only conjure explosions using magic can't erase the type-1 concept of death for very obvious reasons so my suggestion ?
Let’s just add a note that says most of the haxes of basic magic are non combat applicable for most sorcerers
To go further I would also suggest citing a note referencing the Feat section and then citing some feats that the character has performed with Magic in said feat section. This will make it easy for everyone. As for those that have no feats with magic a non-combat applicable note will suffice imo.
I'd urge specifying what they can do with their concept when it's applied.
You previously said this, does this work for you ?

No, he is correct. A Type 1 concept just has to be independent of reality and the object it governs. And well, shape said object and its extensions.

Really, all this thread tells me is that there's a very overblown image of concept manipulation as it stands.

Sure, though with souls being what they are, this is unlikely to change much for characters that can destroy those, since that's concept destruction.

I agree, however it's still better imo to furnish the profiles with feats showcasing the capabilities and possible limitations to prevent any sort of NLF also I believe it would make it easy to do versus threads since a supporter who isn't very knowledgeable can still participate and directly cite feats.

True. Granted, if Magic can provably inherently damage souls it would be different, but I do not think that is the case here.
 
The “Soul” in reference is in a state of Pure Noesis, wherein it contemplates the Forms via its intellectual faculty as pure comprehension, independent of discursive thinking. Not that its ontology is identical to a Form, if that’s what you’re implying.

So, can I know how this relates to your point?

No, he is correct. A Type 1 concept just has to be independent of reality and the object it governs. And well, shape said object and its extensions.

That’s literally not what the CM page says at all, by the way. It explicitly references a particular part of philosophy, and I’d particularly assume we’d follow the basic logic of what we’re appealing to.

And like, don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying the series actually has to word it like this:
I’m saying that a concept’s derivative effects should emulate what is expected of those. And arbitrarily being independent isn’t anywhere close to that. At all.

It referencing the philosophy for naming convention of its type, isn't a standard on the page. The actual description, the thing we actually use to give Conceptual Manipulation to characters, gives its requirements quite plainly, and they are as I have just said.

It’s not a nominal thing. I literally linked the part where the CM page describes Type 1 word-for-word as to how we’d describe universals. And I know that’s the intention here, because even Ultima posits CM1 as a universal in the philosophical sense.

Then I suppose it's a difference in our understanding of that page.

And appealing to Ultima here is somewhat meaningless cause even DT has said otherwise to how CM Type 1 is treated and I'd rather neither of us keep appealing to authority.
 
I'm not gonna talk about NEP and PP or whatever I don't even understand those things good enough. But the whole "let's make this powers Non combat applicable because they are too OP" it's completely ridiculous, there is a reason there is a NFL rule where a character cannot use their powers in any way that wasn't shown to be able to do, just because a character can use CM1 to for example create a fire ball it doesn't mean they can erase concepts or whatever you imagine it's too OP for combat. It's like saying Superman's heat vision is not combat applicable because he can only use it from his eyes.
This smells like someone who had his favorite character being stomped by marvel magic
