I don't see how that sentence goes to answering mine, but it does literally freeze things in it's area of effect.
All of Bai's magic is his control of qi, one opens a portal to a pocket dimension, another freezes everything n a 30k meter area, and another can only hit 300 meters away. Is there an actual reason to assume him grabbing someone and pulling them into a pocket dimension is equal in range to him controlling his mist?
No I'm not. The fire is ignoring it, because I literally wrote you twice that it hurts people with better fire resistance feats then him (what I wrote was "So could Bai, doesn't mean that much to him", and "They do have feats like burning him just by being present despite him taking a bath in laval strong enough to evaporate giant monsters"). I'm not ignoring his healing either, I'm questing if it's spammable and good enough to constantly heal him while his body and soul(s) are being burned.
Pulling out his soul is resisted, transforming it into metal needs it to be pulled out, storing it does too, he resists his soul being destroyed, and subjugate means nothing without context but sound like mind manip, which he resists. And people normally can't do anything to souls.
Well, he starts with something that gets completely resisted, so Bai has a few free turns for himself.
You know where that should be mentioned? The profile. And didn't he resist that by literally willing himself to not dissipate? And doesn't that not happen when in his city size place? And it being transformed into a swamp would probably get around that.
