During a recent thread Yorick Mori's profile has been updated but this is the problem.

He has resistance to Empathic Manipulation, Mind Manipulation and Madness Manipulation with this description: (Able to constantly resist the influence of the Black Mist, which drove the rest of the Brethren of the Dusk mad and made them destroy their Waters of Life so the Mist could affect them)

I know nothing about LoL (atm cause I'm planning to change that), but that description only fits the Madness Manipulation only. So the profile is wrong. Two options:

>The description is wrong.

>He shouldn't have any other resistance rather than MM.
 
Its a combination of all three, The Black Mist has feats of doing all three of those things and has been attempting to hax Yorick for centuries
 
Not necessarily.

I also would like input from other KM since you edited his profile without the proper CRT. I don't know how you treat the Black Mist, but it sounds a lot like Madness Manipulation more than anything else.

From his Bio on Universe:

"One morning, as he tended to his duties in the cemetery, Yorick was interrupted by the sight of a pitch-black cloud roiling across the surface of the Blessed Isles, devouring everything in its path. Yorick tried to run, but the cloud quickly enveloped him and plunged him into shadow.

All around Yorick, living things began to writhe and contort, corrupted by the foul magic in the Black Mist. People, animals, even plants began to transform into vile, ghoulish mockeries of their former selves. Whispers emanated from the turbulent air around him, and his brothers began ripping the vials of healing water from their necks, as if the objects were causing them great anguish. A moment later, Yorick watched in abject horror as the monks' souls were ripped from their bodies, leaving cold, pale corpses behind.

Among the quieting screams of his brethren, Yorick alone could hear voices within the mist.

"Remove it. Join us. We will become one."

He felt his fingers grasping for the vial at his neck. Mustering all his resolve, Yorick forced his hands away from his throat and commanded the howling souls to stop. The Black Mist writhed violently, and darkness overtook him.

When Yorick awoke, the winds had calmed, and the once-fertile lands had transformed into the grotesque hellscape of the Shadow Isles. Isolated tendrils of the Black Mist clung to him, trying to overtake the one living thing not yet corrupted. As the Mist wrapped itself around him, Yorick saw it suddenly recoil from the vial at his neck. Yorick clutched the blessed water, realizing it was all that kept him alive.

In the days that followed, Yorick scoured the islands for survivors, but found only the twisted remnants of what once lived there. Everywhere he walked, he witnessed wretched spirits rising from the bodies of the dead.

As he searched, Yorick slowly pieced together the events that led to the cataclysm: A king had arrived seeking to resurrect his queen, but instead, had doomed the Isles and everything on them.

Yorick wished to find this "Ruined King" and undo the curse he had unleashed. But he felt powerless in the face of the seemingly endless death that surrounded him.

Almost lost within his grief, Yorick began to speak to the spirits around him, attempting to find solace with them as he had as a child. Instead, as he communed with the Mist, corpses left their graves, guided by his voice. He realized the bodies he once laid to rest were now his to command."

So it can kill, and talk to people to get them to take off their protective vials of sacred waters. He's also had an ability from young to communicate with spirits, which later evolved through this to full necromancy. He's continually resisting the influence of said Mist.
 
It does seem to fit Corruption more, with hints of Mind Manipulation. I think asking Assaltwaffle here to help out would be good.

"A hurricane of black mist surrounded the king, spreading across the island and killing everything it touched. Hecarim abandoned the king to his doom and led the Iron Order back to their ships, killing all in their path as the spirits of those slain by the black mist arose as undying wraiths. One-by-one, the knights were dragged down into undeath until only Hecarim remained. As uncontrolled sorcery filled him, he and his mighty steed were fused together in a monstrous abomination that reflected the true darkness of his soul. Howling in rage, the titanic beast known as the Shadow of War was wrought in an agonizing transformation, a brazen monster of fury and spite. The sins of his former life were heightened by the maelstrom of dark magic, birthing a creature of endless malice and terrifying power. "

"When the disaster known as the Ruination struck, magical shockwaves claimed the lives of all who lived on the isles and transformed them into a state of undeath. While others screamed in anguish, Thresh reveled in the ruin. He rose from this cataclysm as a spectral abomination, but unlike many who have passed into the shadow world, Thresh did not lose his identity. Rather, his penchant for cruel torture and ability to discern weakness was only heightened. "


There ya go, ample proof of mind and empathic manip on top of madness manip
 
The Black Mist does indeed have Death manipulation but nothing about it implies it has corruption

Ive bolded the mind manip
 
Thanks. I see your point now.

I'll let Assaltwaffle to see what's more accurate now.
 
I think Madness Manip is more accurate than Corruption, personally. It is forcibly getting a normally rational being to make an irrational and suicidal move.
 
I thought those were different applications and that's why they have different pages?
 
Many abilities are facets of another.

Empathic can come from Mind and both from Madness. Information Manip can come from Concept Manip and more. They may be different, but they can stem from the same source and have the same effect.

All abilities have independent pages even if they share a common root of power with another ability.
 
Is this case one of those cases as well? I'm sorry if I'm being too insistent.
 
"Blind, all-consuming terror.

Incandescent, uncontrollable rage.

Claustrophobic horror, cloying and choking.

And behind it all was the insatiable hunger—the yearning to feed on warmth and life, to draw more souls into darkness.

The cacophony was deafening—a million screaming, tortured souls, writhing and roiling in shared torment.

This was the Black Mist."
