Hi, it's me again. Firstly, my apologies for disturbing you. I have a few questions to ask, and I hope you will be willing to address them.
on the EE page, it is stated that "This ability's destructive power is not absolute, and one should not assume that it can erase the soul by default. It can only be judged by what it has accomplished,"
does the purpose of the word 'soul' in this context mean 'non-physically'?
And what is stated on Incorporeality page regarding "Killing Incorporeal Beings":
"Incorporeal beings can be killed through:
• Soul Manipulation, as long as the entity in question has a soul.
• Reality Warping
• Conceptual Manipulation
• Time Manipulation."
Regarding the type of reality warping that can kill Incorporeal beings, does there need to be a demonstrated feat or example showing the effectiveness of these abilities against incorporeal beings to claim that these abilities can kill them? In other words, should there be evidence or precedent indicating that these powers can indeed affect incorporeal beings before making such a claim?
Thank you so much

Uncertain. Does the magic have some particularly special interaction with the soul, or is it just hitting it? Non-Physical Interaction covers the latter.
The main thing is specific interactions with the soul. Hitting something with your sword isn't a special interaction, but if said sword was explicitly like "this gives soulburn, causing your soul to burn away and you die", then you're entirely within reason to call that Soul Manipulation. As long as the applications are clear, I don't think you need to stress much about it one way or the other.
