Anyway, I'd really love if this got accepted but I'm not sure it should be.

Eh i highly disagree with this, all this thread talks about is weapons Frisk uses, and it's highly debatable if Frisk actually attacks a monsters SOUL or not, but for people like Sans, i don't think it should change.
Undertale is pretty vague when it comes to its abilities.

By the way, another thing that kind of debunks this whole thread, is the fact that Sans is really weak and is a glass cannon, but his KARMA abilities makes up for it, which is technically his SOUL magic at play here, i don't think it makes sense durability negation needs to be removed from Sans since its pretty likely that he can negate durability with SOUL magic/KARMA.

Bruh, nobody in 2023 unironically uses KARMA for sans anymore cause it's also based on some abstract "how high is your body count/how murderous are you" headcannon justification that throws in some spirt bomb false equivocation in it.

KR is soul poison. nothing says it's anything else or is more effective depending how much ass you eat.
sans poisoning someone's soul is negating durability, along with his own magic that ignores armor items.

I was always under the impression that Magic in Undertale harmed both the body and SOUL. This explains why Magic is capable of both harming Frisk’s SOUL, and harming Souless beings/Objects like Toriel hitting Flowey, or Undyne damaging a bridge.
So Magic being able to harm Flowey should not be an argument.

There's still no justification for anyone using it as a one shot when it just kills through hp. Which in a cross verse situation you can't use how fast the hp is dropping as a justification for how potent the poison is on the soul. Cause that's headbutting game mechanics into the scailing.

Undertale soul manip doesn't one shot though...?
you need proof it one-shots, and undertale has never shown that (besides omega flowey, but he does that through sheer AP)
It still dura negs, but it cant one shot as it's never shown to.

Expect every sans W treats it in the opposite way and justify it as a one shot via durability negation ei every soul destruction gg you can find those matches.

Dude people try to say he teleports to dodge, anyone who argues he one-shots with soul hax should be, as Garfield would put it, "Dragged out into the street and shot"

I think it's more like a thing which hurts both SOUL and Body since game states both information and confirms it.
About weapons it was the most lame thing ever possible since it attacks only Monster's body, library even got special books about it explaining how we deal insane amount of damage to the dudes.
Game multiply have shown that we hurt both our body and soul at the same time though.
Healing is just a thing, because Monster stated that it instantly becomes energy and heals out SOUL after we it saying it "Monster's food".
Also, Frisk can heal themself with DT and empowering themself.
Like, when Flowey took other's, we started to get HP from getting stronger and etc.

By the way, Sans and Chara should not be affected by this, because Chara did it other way and sans literally nukes our soul with KARMA in just seconds.
We have survived it just because we have stronger SOUL as Flowey stated that our SOUL becomes more and more powerful from time to time.
Derail moment: Asgore actually should have rematch with Sans since apparently, Sans can't nuke souls with ease

Didn't read all the above (Saw the cringy delailment, unfortunately), but monsters most likely harm Frisk's soul just like someone attacking somebody else with armor may hit the armor and yet still harm the body of the person inside, Frisk's body & anything beyond being the "armor" and the soul being the "body" (replacing the example). Myself I wouldn't say that's "limited" Dura Negation, just the way the power works, which is a bit situational, but yes calling it limited makes sense.
What matters most is having the profiles have a well-written text explaining how their Soul Manip works. Is that something the people who disagree also disagree with?

an explanation so 'one-shot with soul hax' is brought up less in threads would be good. quite a few Q&A threads ask whether they one shot or not.

I'm pretty sure some people mix the "black screen" teleports and "shortcuts" as him dodging with teleporting.

Why would it, Chara's whole shtick is that they take or destroy your soul.

damn this kinda derailed lmao
well, i'm neutral towards the limited durability neg part, but i'm up for the soul magic explanation thing
at the same time that aye's arguments make sense, the evidence against it also does so, this feels like a case of lack of explicitly information regarding the relation of armor and, well, defense

Two hours late, hello.
My understanding of what you said here is that you overall agree that it should be noted as limited dura negation, so I'll list you as agree. Their soul manipulation seems fairly straightforward: monster magic targets both the body and the soul.
Sorry but this doesn't make any sense, we see plenty of food that seems perfectly normal in UT. We see Toriel make the pie--there's no magic being involved in that. And of course the food disappears after it's used, because Frisk...ate it?
I'll put your vote as neutral for now I guess.
The entirety of the thread so far has been talking about the defensive items in the game, which is the strongest argument for the thread anyways. I think it's unfair to say all we talk about is the weapons when they've been mentioned maybe twice since my opening post.
Why would this debunk the whole thread when what I'm applying is for the entire verse? I have already said, verbatim, that Sans wouldn't have his durability negation removed. What I have said is that a few of Sans matches are still made on the idea that he outright one-shots people instead of just damaging them quickly like we see in-game.
That's exactly my point! Magic affecting both the body and the soul is supporting evidence for how magic is affected by conventional durability.

You're correct!
Most of the arguments against this thread are reasonable headcanons given how vague and airy Undertale is as a verse, but that's just it--they aren't really canon. The Old Tutu providing 'some other form of defense', all food being magical, all items providing magical defense, ATK and DEF not being actual stats but purely just your soul weakening--none of this is ever actually stated, implicitly or otherwise, in-game or in any other source of lore. This isn't even bringing up some of Jaften's grievances with how we treat the verse.
Generally speaking wiki policy, in cases of reasonable headcanon versus 'what the game says', sides with the latter.

Sorry but the game itself stated that all food which disappears is monster-food.
And yeah, who tf will eat humans food in Underground full of monsters?
Also, it's currently unknown how magic food is prepared. It's just known that they just disappear

Wouldn't this just mean that monster food affects both the SOUL and the body? Or that monster food is just directly converted into physical energy? In any case I'll edit out 'conventional' from 'conventional monster food' because I was wrong on that point.
Although Frisk's bandage can still heal you just as much as any monster food can and that definitely isn't magical.
Does it? The source you provided from the tumblr page says nothing of the sort.

Probably HP is something what is both SOUL and Body since SOUL is a culmination of the person.
Though, Frisk can heal themself all of sudden with determination.
Actually, I think that food in UT is really vague
Like, we can eat the ******* ROCK and heal 1 HP.
Or we can eat a basic ass spell and heal 60 HP even paralyzing all dogs with it.

You can also eat one of Vegetoid's magic attacks... and also Vegetoid themselves? So apparently humans can potentially just eat monsters?

I thought a thread forever ago already accepted that Undertale Soul Manipulation doesn't one-shot? Hell, durability negation doesn't automatically one-shot in of itself so it sounds like this thread is more arguing for a problem with users than a problem with the profiles themselves

Insta kill = one shot
There's still a narrative of soul poison one shoting
- 8,421

didn't notice the one person who was saying that.
but uh, then i think the correct action here is fixing the profiles, so that they correctly show they don't one shot.
something like the notable techniques section going in about what the soul hax is, and then at the end just saying how it doesn't one shot. problem solved. if people still say 'insta-kill' 'one-shot' or some crap then you can bully them for not being able to reading.
