Rewriting the Abstract Existence page pt.2

I mean, they can be embodiments without having the ability to regen based on their concept. They'd just not be abstracts based on it.

Think of a God who is the literal embodiment of war itself, being omnipresent wherever there is war, and his entire existence being based on whether war exists or not.

Such a being could still plausibly be slayed without requiring the erasure of war itself. His status quo would just need be passed onto whoever killed him, or onto his fellow gods.

Then what of characters that are called "embodiment" but just display extreme affinity for their concepts? Just gain the powers surrounding with without having any abstraction listed?
If they don't affect/are affected by the abstraction in any notable way, they aren't abstracts.

At this point, it's more a title than an actual ability.
 
More like "They are called conceptual embodiments, but this isn't applicable as a power in any way, so classifying it as an ability doesn't really make sense".

Godcat embodies destruction, but this really doesn't grant her anything, so classifying it as an ability wouldn't make sense
 
Just one thing, Absolute Law/Unstoppable Force only control their concept, right?

If so i'll add them as examples for type 3 (Although if they shouldn't have type 8, or Mid Godly, that should be removed asap, especially if they are used as examples)
 
Absolute Law is the embodiment of the concept of law and order in the Time Tree, and also maintains the laws and order of the Time Tree.

Unstoppable Force is the embodiment of destruction and it's eternity sword is a part of his body and embodies destruction and can't be used for any other purpose than destruction, also Force has flames which are the embodiement of destruction which burns all things.
 
Well as long as they affect the abstraction it should be fine.

I'll implement the new page now
 
Thank you for helping out.

Should we close this thread then?
