Essence is the property or set of properties that make an entity or object what it fundamentally is, and without it, ceases to exist as that entity or object


Essense lies deeper than body, mind or soul. And with this, users can manipulate the fundamental properties of objects to make it something else.

Anyway, is manipulating the essence of something , conceptual manipulation or information manipulation?

DT mentioned its similar to CM, and this is the example he gave:

Changing the property of a flame to make it cold mean you change the property "being hot" into the property "being cold". Meanwhile, concept manip would take the property "being hot" and let the flame remain hot. Instead, it would make it so that things that are hot behave like being cold.

Is Essense manipulation conceptual manipulation or Information manipulation?
 
That's what confuses me a bit.

Okay there's this abstract character who's body fragments contains the essense of everything in the multiverse

Any power or ability that anyone is born with, any being, or object or is connected to that essence, whether he created them or not. And he can manipulate that essence to redefine the properties of any of those powers or objects at its most fundamental level.

Is that conceptual manipulation?
 
The context of this essence should be more on the conceptual side.

(Ngl this essence sounds like source in mgk)
 
Depending on how the verse handle the definition of said Essence. It can literaly just a concept, beyond one, or lesser. I think it's a case by case thing really.

However, by the explanation you shared, I agree with Cat, it's more on a conceptual side here.
 
La esencia es la propiedad o conjunto de propiedades que hacen de una entidad u objeto lo que fundamentalmente es, y sin ella, deja de existir como tal entidad u objeto.


El sentido yace más profundo que el cuerpo, la mente o el alma. Y con esto, los usuarios pueden manipular las propiedades fundamentales de los objetos para convertirlos en algo más.

De todos modos, ¿es manipular la esencia de algo, manipulación conceptual o manipulación de la información?

DT mencionó que es similar a CM, y este es el ejemplo que dio:

Cambiar la propiedad de una llama para que se enfríe significa cambiar la propiedad "estar caliente" por la propiedad "estar fría". Mientras tanto, la manipulación conceptual tomaría la propiedad "estar caliente" y dejaría que la llama permaneciera caliente. En cambio, haría que las cosas que están calientes se comporten como si estuvieran frías.
it's from pokemon
