Hello. This thread was created to possibly give some characters from Maou Gakuin Immunity/*Unconventional Resistance to Soul & Mind Manipulation.
From Rimuru Tempest (Web Novel)'s profile:
Take note that I'm only using the above as a reference, and I won't be using it as a reason for the CRT to be accepted.
From LN Volume 1 Keyword:
So, similar to Rimuru, "good magicians" in Maou Gakuin can keep their memories at their source, and even if their body perishes, as long as their source is intact, they can be revived.
Reasons why I believe this could possibly grant Immunity/*Unconventional Resistance to Soul & Mind Manipulation:
1. Memories kept at the source =/= mind and thoughts. Being able to affect someone's mind and thoughts doesn't automatically mean you can affect memories that are kept at their concept (source).
2. From LN Volume 1 Chapter 6:
The source exists deeper than the body, soul and mind, so if someone is able to function with ONLY their source, then obviously they don't need their body, soul or mind to function.
3. From WN Chapter 29 :: English MTL
During Anos' fight with Ivis, Anos was killed by having his time accelerated infinitely. Basically, his body aged an eternity. Anos only has longevity, and he himself stated he can't live an eternity, so unless the soul and mind can remain intact after literally ageing past their limit, it's safe to say that Anos' body, soul and mind were erased. After being aged an eternity, Anos revived himself from ONLY his source, meaning he was able to cast magic while not having a body, soul and mind.
Anos himself also states that "those who have mastered magic" can use magic from ONLY their source.
4. From WN Chapter 401 :: English MTL
During Anos' fight with Wesnera, Anos was incapacitated. He was actively being affected by paralysis inducement, power nullification, perception manipulation and mind manipulation, which he didn't resist. Despite being incapacitated by these abilities, Anos was still able to act as ONLY a source. Anos was able to move his source out of and back into his body while incapacitated, which allowed him to adapt to the abilities.
Based on the information above, I think any characters who are able to cast magic from ONLY their source should get the following:
Immunity/*Unconventional Resistance to Soul Manipulation & Mind Manipulation (Good magicians can keep their memories at their source, which is the basic concept of existence that exists beyond the body, soul and mind, and even if their body perishes, as long as their source is intact, they can be revived. In other words, they can "think" with their source (concept) and are thus immune/*and thus have unconventional resistance to abilities that affect the soul or mind)
From Rimuru Tempest (Web Novel)'s profile:
Immunity to Mind Manipulation (Rimuru's memories are stored in his astral body, and as long as he retains his conscious soul and memory, he can be revived even when his body is completely damaged. In other words, he can think with his soul and is thus immune to mind control effects)

From LN Volume 1 Keyword:
The basic concept of existence, which is hidden in all living things. A good magician can be reborn with his original memory kept at his source, and even if his body perishes, as long as his source is intact, he can be revived.

2. From LN Volume 1 Chapter 6:
"In the first place, magic power is born from the source in our bodies. To put it simply, from our soul or psyche, but the source lies even deeper. It's what makes us who we are."
The source exists deeper than the body, soul and mind, so if someone is able to function with ONLY their source, then obviously they don't need their body, soul or mind to function.
