1 soul made up of multiple souls

[Ignatheus]

If 1 soul in the verse is made up of multiple souls, do we layer it via how many souls? Does this affect soul manipulation or Potency. (What got me thinking of this was how we treat things like the universe and multiverse.) If no, do we have a reason not to or why it wouldn't?

Note: This isn't one being/body containing multiple beings.

No.

No.

Just curious on your thoughts on why it wouldn't be treated differently from a non-composite soul.

If you have plant manipulation, does it make a difference if you can manipulate 1 or 2 trees?
If you have water manipulation, does the volume manipulated decide the amount of layers?
If you can manipulate animals, does the amount of animals add layers?

The point Is that a "quantity" is not a deciding factor for layers, layers are the ability to bypass defenses (resistances) without the additions of a magnitude difference.

At most, it would be an "unconventional" or "limited" resistance specifically, for soul manipulation that can only affect one soul at a time.

I wasn't really just referring to layers in terms of the traditional way but i was really aiming at finding some type of base Potency for such a being with a complex soul. That's my fault for the misuse of the word.

1 soul ≠ 1 complex soul (Soul Density should matter)

I'm cool with a limited resistance via X number.
