Like with Chase, this is a Q&A thread at the moment but can turn into a CRT if needed (Not as likely since I had actually found flaws with the former, this time I know nothing about the verse)

Anyway Maxwell has Type 2 conceptual manipulation but why he does or why it's type 2 wasn't clarified in the P&A. Concept manipulation itself has important requirements and type 2 demands even more evidence because of its potency, so all I need to know is what evidence places Maxwell's Conceptual Manipulation at type 2 as well as why he has it to begin with.
 
It was when the type were just creation-alteration-destruction.

The reason for is Conceptual Manipulation can be seen here.
 
That thread says conceptual manipulation was already there tho
 
I added it meant for Type additions as I thought it was appropriate type roughly a year ago, At this time, I had less experience with CRT and abilities so I thought type 2, in general. Honestly, I forgot about the profiles since I barely visited the pages in months. Now, I think the type would be Type 3 since Maxwell's conceptual manipulation work similar to Ichibē Hyōsube and Yukari Yakumo's naming-based conceptual manipulation. The fact that he recreated an infinite multiverse proved it is his concepts can indeed affect all of the reality.

  • 3. Aristotelian Concept: Such concepts are abstract and govern all reality. These concepts shape everything, and changing them would either require the alteration of every object of the concept or, if manipulated directly, change all objects of the concept alongside the concept itself. These concepts, however, exist simultaneously with and are bound by the object of the concept. In this way, an abstract Aristotelian Concept can be destroyed by destroying all objects of the concept, restored by re-making an object of a previously existent concept, or changed by changing all objects of the concept across reality. This, however, does not qualify for this form of conceptual manipulation, and is rather treated as a byproduct of another action akin to a "domino effect". This type of conceptual manipulation can only be obtained if the abstract concept itself is changed directly, and not by indirect methods. For example, destroying humanity and thus "ending the concept of humanity" would not qualify, while directly "ending the concept of humanity" and thus destroying humanity would qualify.
 
I guess the thread topic is resolved, @Andytrenom. So, I do think you can close the thread now.
