DK Fight - Donkey Kong VS Fomortiis

DK's mind manip should protect him. He puts him to sleep using magic but sleep is still a mental process, just one being triggered by supernatural means. If someone used magic to make fire, we wouldn't claim that it would ignore standard fire resistance just because it is magic; sleep is much the same.

Can anyone answer this before voting?
 
I'm on the fence about it, because it's not just that it's magic, but also because sleep is an enigma.

I tried reading the wikipedia post we link on the page to describe sleep, but what actually make sleep work and it's relationship to the mind isn't well defined, and doesn't seem well understood.

Plus, the wiki doesn't seem to offically link the two between Sleep and Mind Manipulations.

For now, I don't personally see the problem with saying that the Demon King's supernatural forced sleep has nothing to do with mental resistances, but only because the information available seems increadibly vauge about what sleep even really is.
