Just 2:

1)
Voldemort's immortality


2) Is there any need to not implement the only note of the page to Immortality type 1... ? ("Immortality type 1 is for characters that do not age at all, not ones that are simply long-lived. The latter should be listed with Longevity instead." I'm pretty sure this can (and has) leave to confusion.
 
no its still Immortality cuz they do not age

and we already have Longevity page

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Longevity

Longevity is the ability to age far more slowly than any normal being, allowing the user to have a lifespan that far exceeds any human, sometimes reaching hundreds or thousands of years if not longer. Unlike Type-1 Immortality, beings with Longevity do age, and thus will weaken over time and may die of natural causes if they are not killed first, however long this process may take.
 
I know that, I asked to implement that in the description of immortality type 1 instead of having it in a note in the bottom of the page. Just that. Also the Voldemort thing.
 
The first one should be dealt with by a CM, if not already done

For the second, I agree that we should take more action towards differentiating mere longevity with true eternal youth/life.
 
They're both called "Longevity" at that. Type 1 and Longevity (altho everyone just says "Type 1", it would be more convenient if it had a different name. Prolly just nitpicking on my part, though)

Immortality Type 2 is like.
You get decapitated, but your head keeps talking by itself even though it is separated from your body.

Would type 2 also account for having the both of your legs - and left arm - cut off, while still being able to move around at the same speed as when you had your legs while being able to use various items? I'm assuming that it is considered type 2 immortality, given that this profile has it.
 
So... Can we called it "Immortality via eternal longevity"?
 
I feel there are other names we could use.

Unaging

Eternal Youth

Ageless

Just to name a few.
 
Mention longevity in that reinforces that is something different from our longevity page, just to make things less confusing. If not then I like Ageless more.
 
Ok, just my opinion: There is a difference between characters that can live longer than the average specimen, like normal wizards in the HP verse ("Wizard life expectancy in Britain reached 137 years in the mid-1990s, according to the Ministry of Divine Health") and characters that live forever without aging (no regen, can die by natural means). That would be the difference to Longevity and Immortality type 1, but I think thats already clear.

Voldemort is a special case. I agree that he should have type 1 and 8, but the problem is that after he died he became something "lesser than a ghost", which would give him type 7 in case he should die.

We should probably rename type one from logevity into "semi-immortality" like here and remove Voldemort from type 2, since his "physical body remains mortal, only the soul is earthbound".

Eternal Life sounds better, I think.

I am fine with renaming this type of immortality to eternal life, to avoid confusion with the separate longevity power.
 
I am also fine with rmeoving immortality type 2 from Voldemort.
