Is Regenerating from pure energy Low-Godly Regenerationn?

Just like most conceptions of a soul, the soul in UT is portrayed as the part of a humam that lives on after their body dies and we can see the souls of toriel and asgore floating after thier body has turned to dust meaning that it was separate from thier physical body.

Dependent on each other=/=the body will be completely destroyed when the soul dies

I am hesitant to belive that thier bodies being absent is supposed to mean they actually disappeared from thier location during the fight. It could just be how Toby wanted the scene to play out without there being an in universe explanation for why there weren't hundreds of lifeless monsters lying around during the scene leading up to the Asriel fight

But if you think your interpretation is justified, it was still only the monsters that had thier souls succed. Monsters are described to be mostly made of magic and not being as physical as humans so monsters having this effect upon having thier souls yanked won't mean humans will too.

Napstablook commenting that everyone disappeared sort of proves that wrong outright. I'm still under the impression the SOUL includes the body under the "culmination of your being" explaination.

Also the body would still presumably die when the soul is destroyed; and Chara's body nor any of the other humans for that matter seem to stick around despite this deaths being pretty recent.

Regardless Frisk A) Doesn't need a body to survive B) Generates a new one on every LOAD, so this discussion is pretty useless anyways.
 
I stand corrected then

Dying doesn't mean being destroyed, and I'm pretty sure the human bodies are in Asgore's coffins.

The discussion was about if the soul fusing feat should give low godly, Frisk having separate abilities that allow him to regain his body or function without one isn't really relevant.
 
I kind of is relevent, since we consider time rewind as a form of regen that we ofte quantify.

Which is done through their soul, restoring their body even if it is obliterated.

Which would just qualify for Low-Godly on its own.
 
Hmnnn. Anyway getting back on track, I do think ghosts being destroyed should be either mid-Godly or high.

Not every verse treats consciousness as something that will keep existing after your body dies, if some do that's fine, but I don't think the common assumption should be that one still has a mind after thier spiritual or physical body has died.
 
Destroyed to what degree though?

Like a ghost regening a single cut would be silly to call Mid-Godly. As would it being reduced to goo/ashes/whatever. You'd sort of need the same justifications for High if you really want to push that point.

If your point is that ghosts don't even have a physical body no level of regen up to Mid-Godly would apply as Mid-Godly assumes your soul/whatever is utterly destroyed/EE'd and Low to Low-Godly assume a physical body.
 
Destroyed completely without a trace.

I'm honestly not completely sure about "high" being the only other option, but I am in agreement that they won't be getting low godly in a lot of cases.

"Without a trace" is a bit vague but I'll tenatively agree for now.

Which also sort of changes Mob Psycho spirits to Mid-Godly so neat.
 
Which ones? Dimple I remember regenerating from spiritual particles or something like that.
 
Yeah that. Dimple explained later that he came back from spirit particles, or maybe it was elementary particles..either way he did have something to regenerate from so it's not mid-godly.
 
Yes, they still need to be EEd. But assuming EE would be less of a stretch when it is a spirit being erased and not a physical creature.
 
I guess, yeah.

So in that case being reduced to spiritual energy =/= Mid Godly, as you're still defending from a part of your "body"?

Yes, not Mid-Godly, but just Low-Godly Regenerationn

If you started off as a ghost and you were reduced to spiritual energy but regenerated that would just be high. Your body was not 100% destroyed.

It would only be mid-godly if there were no spiritual energy or anything period.
 
Regenation from Spiritual Energy is Low-Godly, assuming the requirement is passed. Ghosts having body is technically a minomers since they are made not made of matter nor pure energy but metaphysical energy; ex: soul energy. Technically, ghost or spiritual beings tends not have physical forms thus technically bypassed "complete physical destruction" requirement for Low-godly. If they can Regenerated, than they usually get Low-Godly Regenerationn. Of, course, if completely destroyed or erased and they Regenerated than the have Low-Godly.
 
@Elizhaa then by that logic, they can't have Regenerationn listed on their profiles as a requirement is a physical body - which they don't have.

Clearly that doesn't make sense.

The actual answer? Regenerationn is based on ANY body, be it physical or spiritual. Ghost's bodies are composed of their soul, so their soul and body are basically functioning as the same thing.

This means regenerating from 99% destruction is only high Regenerationn. Regenerating from 100% would be mid-godly, as both body, soul and mind have been destroyed.

(On a general basis) Ghosts cannot have low-godly. No ghost can have their body 100% destroyed and have their soul intact, as they ARE the soul. No, splattering a ghost and then having them regenerate from a tiny amount of energy cannot be low-godly, as for there to be a tiny amount of energy means you must have not destroyed them entirely in the first place.
 
HierophantDeluxe, in general case, ghosts don't have Regenerationn feat as not that they cannot regenerate in fiction. In most fiction, they are intangible and can't interact properly. Non-Physical Interaction or hurting them properly is still rare feats in most fictional settings.

I will say don't confuse Intangibility for Regenerationn because this is what your points look to suggest.
 
Yeah, it kind of goes like this:

"They don't have bodies" - Low-Godly can't apply as they have no body to regenerate from their diembodied soul. Renerating damage to your disembodied soul doesn't really count since you're not considering it their body to begin with.

"They do have bodies" - Low-Godly still sort of doesn't apply, as the moment they come back from having their body oblitrated, they regenerated a body and a soul from nothing, which would qualify for Mid-Godly.
 
Spirits, ghosts, wraiths and such, as I and others said above, do not have a physical bodie and such they are unable to have a regen of Low-Godly and below (in the conventional way). Although, few non-corporeal beings has the power Corporealization, that allows them to gain a physical body, but it do not counts as regen but rather Creation or similar (opposite of Intangibility).
 
@Elizhaa listen to yourself, they can regenerate as long as their souls exist...

But if they've been 100% deleted, what do? Their body is their soul. They are a ghost.

No ghost (except for one specific niche verse maybe) should have low-godly.
 
Ghosts could have low godly based on something other than a soul. That'd be a verse specific thing though.
 
That's fair, but in general a ghost having low-godly makes no sense. They can't have their body destroyed yet their soul intact. Their body IS their soul.

It's either high Regenerationn and below, or mid-godly and higher. Low-godly is off the table.

I guess it is a rare thing. But, I would not put Low-Godly off the table since the case regarding verse interpretation of soul can be differents. Ex: Aizen.
 
If one of the Destiny guardians was to be a ghost, I wouldn't bump their regen to mid godly, for example, because their souls aren't what's important. Destiny Low Godly is based off of Light. In a case like that, a ghost could get low godly. It's pretty esoteric though.

I think he qualify as spirit (note, spirit =/= ghost).
When I say spirits and ghosts, I mean the same since there are spiritual beings.
 
Nedge it isn't literally light. Light is a weird semi-magical force in Destiny, not the energy emission.
