That didn't take very long.
Anyways, Anos is back, and I figured now would be a good time to knock out both what I consider a very dishonest attempt to upgrade MG, and some stuff I had in the works prior to deletion. This isn't out of spite necessarily, I literally just noticed the page went up not too long ago and decided to see what was kept and what was trashed from the previous profile, and now here we are.
Concept Manipulation (Type 1)
Anos has this because he can destroy sources. First of all, sources were never accepted as being type 1; The verse was deleted before the proposed upgrade ever passed. Secondly, sources were downgraded to type 3 concepts here. So there is no accepted basis for sources being rated this high, while there is a basis for them being rated much lower.
Immortality Negation
Anos resists immortality negation (types 3, 4, and 8) because he can survive the destruction of his source, which grants him that immortality. The only problem is, destroying the source isn't immortality negation; It's just how reliant immortality works in this case, where characters rely on their sources. So there's no "immortality negation" to speak of here; That'd be like saying Harry Potter has immortality negation from destroying Voldemort's horcruxes. The same logic applies to Anos' own immortality negation through Venuzdonoa, though in both cases it seems like HGR negation is fine to stay.
Information Manipulation (Type 2)
The basis for this is that magical formulae are used to determine the properties of a spell. That's it. This is nowhere near enough for type 2 info hax; It is the equivalent of saying that a recipe is type 2 info, just because changing it changes the kind of food you make.
There are likely some minor things I missed, but these were the most eye-catching to me. However, I do think the profile is a big improvement overall, thank god, so at least there's that.
