Law Manipulation and Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2. Every ancient magic manipulates some fundamental abstract concept, they control the core elements that govern the laws of the world, can influence and alter the fundamental laws of the universe, as they are the underlying principles that gover the very universe, and concept magic which uses the power of ancient magic can rewrite the laws of reality.

Through understanding universal principles, magicians could manipulate those concepts(Time, Space, Gravity, Soul, Matter and Info)


It's also possible for them to "deepen the essence" and transcend those principles

The lowest rank was the third rank, then the second rank, the first rank, and then the top was the special rank technique user.

The third rank was those who could use even one age of god magic. It was the line when someone got recognized as a law technique user.

From there they became second rank when they could use multiple age of god magic, first rank if they could reach even one of the essences of age of god magic, and special rank if they could deepen the essence even further, or perhaps being able to use multiple. Ch 551

Their side could meddle with the underlying principles of the cosmos, not only that, even transcending the underlying principles of cosmos was within their reach. But even with such power, they might be defeated against this powerful enemy if they let their guard down. Ch 550

No it is not.

Isn't this just the manipulation of metaphysical aspects rather than an ontologically transcendent state of existence?

It's also possible for them to "deepen the essence" and transcend those principles

Both of those phrases are vague and do not neccesarily indicate a fundamentally greater existence.

 

[AyOgUyS]

It's not about transcending them, but reaching/manipulating a higher concepts/realms that transcend those principles.

What does "transcend those principles" even mean? I think there is more context here that might not have been explained.

I just highlighted that part in the Law/CM justification

 

[AyOgUyS]

It looks like greater manipulation of metaphysical aspects to me. I don't think any of the scans in the OP indicate a higher ontological state of existence.

What if the universal concepts are dependent on said transcendent concept?

 

[StrikingMosquito245]

Could you clarify in which sense they’re dependent? "Dependent" is pretty broad — it could be just as broad as the word "transcends," so it’s hard to get a clear reading without more context imo.
