Alright. I will be basing my evaluation here primarily on the matters explored in the OP itself, as well as some key points of information discussed in the thread since then. I have tried my best to read through and properly process all of the comments made in the thread thus far, but I will be frank - so much of this thread has been an increasingly convoluted back-and-forth that it would easily take me upwards of hours to sieve through what particular points discussed so far are worth addressing and evaluating, so I would rather leave evaluations about specific points brought up throughout the thread to specific questions addressed to me. I will also address in passing that I am not involved with this verse, and so do not have context on the matters discussed beyond what has been contained with this thread.
To start:
Conceptual Manipulation
I concur with the OP that
these quotes are not enough to qualify for Type 2 CM. Not even just for very specific reasons, like not acknowledging the "past" as a factor, but also just due to generally saying so little about the nature of the sources by themselves. There is just fundamentally so little information provided by those sources that I don't even know why they were used in the first place for something as specific as Type 2 CM. However, there is another
quote that was added to the OP regarding this discussion, which says:
"
However, if the Almighty's sword is not sheathed, the power of the divine sword will annihilate the source of the person who pulls it out, present, past, and future."
This was a huge back-and-forth topic earlier in the thread, with the two conflicting opinions being whether this is saying "the source being annihilated will annihilate the past, present, and future of the owner" or if it is saying "the source will be annihilated across the past, present, and future". Frankly, early discussion on this was completely unhelpful - the first page of this thread was almost entirely just people making those two claims over and over again, without anyone trying to substantiate their interpretation of the quote. This is a semantics issue, and the semantics lean towards the latter interpretation.
Note the sentence structure: using "
will annihilate - the source", establishes that "the source" is the subject of this annihilation, and adding on "
present, past, and future" establishes that the annihilation is occurring in the present, past, and future. Therefore, this sentence is saying "the source will be annihilated across the present, past, and future". The former interpretation would require that "the owner" was the subject of the annihilation (i.e.: it would have to say something along the lines of "
will annihilate the person who pulls it out, present, past, and future") which the sentence does not show. This should not have been as big of a back-and-forth as it was; there is a single discernable answer available in the quote itself.
I am open to the possibility that there may be more quotes on this topic that could substantiate more specific information about the type of concept that sources can be considered. If they are truly as important to this verse as they seem, I don't doubt there is information missing from this thread and the discussion so far. But I concur with the OP that these quotes do not specify anything clearly enough to justify Type 2 CM, and that I would have to agree with a downgrade to Type 3 CM on this basis. To be convinced of Type 2, within the standards outlined on the Conceptual Manipulation page, I will need a clear quote showing that the "source" of a person governs the concept of that person's existence in any and all tangible forms, such that the erasure of the source equates to the removal of any and all instances of the person's existence within the boundaries of reality set in the verse. What has been provided is close, but it is not enough - what has been shown is too specific in its nature to quality for anything beyond Type 3 in its current state, because nothing has proven that the source "
governs all reality within its area of influence (the 'area of influence' in this case being the person whom the source conceptualizes)". I am open to more proof being presented, but for full clarity, I agree with the OP.
Information Manipulation
Information Manipulation is a bit more difficult to pin down here. To reference
the quote used to justify Type 2 IM:
"
Even if the body disappears, it can be restored using Resuscitation Ingal because the root remembers the outline of the body."
The main problem I have with evaluating this is a lack of context; how literal is the word "remember" here? I do not know a great deal about "the root" mentioned in this quote, beyond what has been stated in this thread, so I do not know if it is an entity with a literal "memory" that it can refer to when Resuscitation Ingal is used, or if this is a metaphor for the process the root uses in more 'human' terms. In either circumstance, I'm not sure exactly how it qualifies for Type 2 IM without further context. I suppose I'd consider myself neutral on this, but leaning towards agreeing with the OP - not necessarily because it
can't be Type 2 IM, but because it shouldn't be on the profile without more thorough evidence and clarification in the first place. Elaboration on the way the root and the Resuscitation Ingal ability works would be greatly appreciated.
High-Godly/NEP
To my knowledge, this all inherently passes as a consequence of the two prior points.
TL;DR
The evidence provided regarding the nature of sources has not been substantial enough to support the idea that the source "governs all reality within its area of influence (the 'area of influence' being the individual whom the source conceptualizes)". Consequentially, there is not enough basis for Type 2 CM. However, I am open to more evidence being provided to support this - what I will state is that no amount of analysis of what has already been provided is enough. As such, I agree with changing the profiles to reflect Type 3 CM until further notice.
The evidence provided for information manipulation is too vague without further context. I imagine further context may help with evaluating this, but assuming the context provided is all, then this does not meet the standards to provide an ability as specific as Type 2 IM. I would like further elaboration if possible.
If both of the two prior points pass, matters related to High-Godly and NEP can likely be removed.
And that is all. Now let me finish my aspirin.
Done! He will give it till latest tomorrow
Also, side-comment, it is "she".
