Intro
Wanted to do cool aesthetic changes first, but someone made a thread regarding Gods, so might as well keep the best for the end.Gods Physiology was made.
Some things are weird af.
Gonna correct what I find the weirdest.
Pseudo Gods
Create a "Pseudo-God" category, they definitely don't belong to the same category as true ones for more than one reason.They would need Energy Manipulation because of being able to turn "off" their Taiji, the same Summoning of their Kamunagara, maybe Large Size for said Kamunagara (although it is variable) and "Blessed" since they are under their "Patron God"
In term of weaknesses, they would only have the one related to being limited to their God's Territory.
Old World Mandalas users should be under the same category, except that they can't hold their form for long and will die, since the main deity did too.
Also they should be put in the "Summary" section, after the thing about Hado/Gudo.
Every Gods
Soul Manipulation
We're currently using atwiki as a proof for Soul Manipulation and Spiritual Aura. There's really no need. Even a mere scan of Aziluth being the last stage of Ewigkeit would be enough (idk why it isn't already put tbh, since it is kind of Godhood for dummies after all). Although there's the fact that Gudo only have their own soul to rely on in general, which should be definitely noted.Also the "destroy the world with their presence" is kind of wrong, since Pseudo Gods, Gudo and even sometimes Hado were shown to be able to stay in the world. They only have to get out when they do a law clash, creating too much repainting and opening singularity holes.
Large Size and maybe AE/Intangibility
Pseudo-Gods and Gudo are not big at all. Gudo are even called "human-sized universes" after all.For Hado... Maybe use a better proof? Their laws themselves are definitely this size, but I'm not sure if a mere "the embobidment of foreknowledge" can be considered as a good proof. Their "true form" are usually not big, like Amaterasu being a tree.
Not trying to say they aren't, ofc. Just that better stuff would be appreciated.
Conceptual Manipulation
"Infinite concepts" is an invention of the english translation, as shown in the 1-B downgrade thread, meaning it'll have to be removed.Conceptual Manipulation revision didn't happened yet, which is kind of a pain, but something at least showing the independence of Taiji with the rest should be good enough too; or that laws and concepts are linked. Because for now our proof of Conceptual Manipulation is mere Creation.
Immortality, its negation, and Regeneration
Immortality type 5 should be removed. Ren talking about outside life and death and all was because she was in the time-stopped Twilight Beach, and he was doing some reflexion on it. As a proof of the contrary, you litteraly have Ootake and Yakou killing their concept of death to come back, which wouldn't be possible if they were type 5; or Kikei Mandala Rindou whole thing, which is being a corpse.Immortality negation is of all types because...? Gods themselves don't have every types to begin with. Only type 3 which is covered by Regeneration Negation
Acausality change
Idk why we put their Acausality as type 5, but the current reasoning is definitely type 4; since it's "just" : existing outside of the world stuff and being under your own laws. Type 5 would need more than this.I think Type 4 makes also more sense with some hado stuff being causality-based, like Shirou's MTA or Mercurius' law.
Law and Cosmic Awareness/(Nigh)Omniscience
So the main gist of it is "they can know what happen in their law, therefore they are nigh omniscient when it doesn't go over the whole world, and omniscient when it does".However... this would really just be Clairvoyance in their territory.
There's a shit tons of stuff against Omniscience (Hajun being a thing, Merc forgetting how much time he resetted and failing to get the ending he wants, Marie being unaware of Hajun coming to her and Masada possible scenario making her unaware of Teratoma without Reinhard's nature helping, etc...) and I don't think the way it was said was supposed to imply Omniscience or even "Nigh Omniscience" in any way.
Here's the thing we use, but under Imgur and with translations btw.
And that's without including the fact that for Gudo it would just means knowing their own body. "Omniscient about yourself" doesn't work well.
It would also mean that we could finally have actual Intelligence rating for the Gods, instead of just being "omniscient dude".
Omnipresence
Kind of the same as before, but this time Gudo are "Omnipresent in their own body".Not sure if you can say Hado truly are omnipresent in that none can reach where Naraka is or don't have their law everywhere the moment they aren't the Throne God.
I would put this more on the range/Large Size part of their Law than anything.
Transduality
This one was started in another thread, but I said I was gonna add it so here we go.As pointed out by @Fixxed, the justification for it is currently not a proof of Transduality. Besides what I explained a bit prior regarding the nature of Twilight Beach's statements, being outside the laws and concepts of the world isn't a proof of transcending all dual systems.
Best shot at it would likely be Avesta (although given the nature of Mithra's law, it is arguable), since Ryuusui's is more about Onmyoudou, which is the art used by humans.
