Small correction to Ley Lines manipulation

[GarrixianXD]

This should be relatively straightforward.

The raw CN text says the Ley Lines is a conceptual network, contradicting the official EN text where it said "mysterious network" instead. It's rather a mistranslation on MiHoYo's side.

Since the Ley Lines are already established to universally govern all of Teyvat, manipulating the Ley Lines should grant the users Type 2 Conceptual Manipulation.

As a byproduct, the Elemental Lifeforms should also get Type 2 Concept attributed to their abstract existence as their existence directly pertains to Ley Lines.

Isn't it rather that the sum total of all leylines governs all of reality, than that a single leyline governs all particulars that instantiate something across reality?

The Ley Lines is a single network itself that roots across all of reality, though, there are local Ley Lines of certain nations and may be a bit different than others, take the artificial Night Kingdom of Natlan which is pure chaos for example, but overall, the entirety of Ley Lines itself is a single network.

Edit: Though, if you mean the sum of all Ley Lines of all nations and places of Teyvat/Human Realm, then yeah; manipulation of a nation's local ley lines can only warp the reality and history of that nation.

Yeah, that basically sounds Kawakamiverse leylines to me.
Irrelevant comparison to another verse aside, that sounds to me like the status quo already describes the nature just fine. Leylines sound like an abstract meta-substance to me rather that reality is composed from than working like universals / tropes by having objects of a property all participate in a specific one.

A few things that do differ is that the Ley Lines of Genshin were specifically said to be a conceptual network that connects absolutely everything that occurs and records practically everything that happens, manifests itself through conceptual flowers; to add to that, weaving the Ley Line network as a single network as a whole warps the entirely of the Universe at its complete scale. However, I suppose that the Ley Lines having local sub-networks that can be locally tampered with, hence only changing a specific region, might disqualify it from being an entire singular concept that can be manipulated as a single entity. Would Type 3 Conceptual Manipulation work better?

Gotta love a blatant conceptual statement.

Looks fine to me.
