I really doubt that manipulating "limits" is just Law Manipulation.
Yeah, i think.
That boundary manipulation can ultimately develop into conceptual manipulation, because boundaries themselves depend on definitions that separate one thing from another.
As a simple analogy,
we recognize an apple as an “apple” because there is an essence defined as an apple. This definition creates a boundary that distinguishes the essential nature of an apple from other fruits. Without such boundaries, objects would be difficult to differentiate, as they would lack clear identity.
This concept can be applied to the condition of Teyvat.
Before the arrival of Phanes, there was no clear separation between fundamental aspects such as life, death, space, and time. Everything existed in an undefined state, lacking essential distinctions.
As illustrated in the Nod-Krai trailer, life and death had no boundaries, meaning they flowed as a single unified state. In that era, the will of existence itself was not bound by any structure, allowing it to flow freely.
Because of the absence of boundaries, the old world order cannot be directly compared to the world after Phanes’ intervention. The two are fundamentally different. This aligns with Nicole’s statement that the world has changed at its most fundamental level.
When Phanes defined these boundaries, the structure of reality as it is known today was established. Life, death, space, and time became distinct entities because each was given a defined essence. In other words, modern Teyvat is built upon conceptual differentiation that previously did not exist.
Therefore, I tend to classify this phenomenon as Type 1 conceptual manipulation, because what is being manipulated is not merely the manifestation or effects of concepts, but the essence of the concepts themselves, namely, the definitions that determine their distinctions.
Yeah, that’s all I understand for now. I won’t add anything further. let the staff evaluate this crt
