Born out of this thread. Should read it (or at least the later parts of it) before contributing to this.

So yeah. Open to suggestions on the purpose of Type 3, if it should be reworded, revised, removed, etc.
Currently, Abstract Existence type 3 is defined as such:
- Type 3: Embodies an abstraction, but the destruction of the former isn't needed in order to destroy or affect them. These characters do not rely on the abstraction to survive, but thanks to their affinity with it, they are able to manipulate it.
- Examples: Absolute Law and Unstoppable Force (The Spirit of Eternity Sword)
So really, what is the purpose of AE type 3? As it is it's just manipulation of abstractions but there's a reason for it, which is nice and all but doesn't change the state of existence held by the user. As it's a page for Abstract Existence, this type seems to be incongruous with the idea of the page and other two types where the abstraction actually is integral to their existence.Wokistan said:That's the thing. You can't be said to embody something when you fail to display said characteristics. If you are to be made up of something abstract like a concept but just get smacked by some non concept manipulator, that's a knock against you truly embodying that concept in the sense applicable to considering your very existence as an abstract one. Having dominion over your concept is all cool and good but it doesn't immedately make the user themselves an abstract being, just gives them power over things of an abstract nature.
So yeah. Open to suggestions on the purpose of Type 3, if it should be reworded, revised, removed, etc.
