Isaiah's Tier 1 Question Log

[Isaiah_ZaMangaka]

What's good, everyone? So I'm using this thread as a place where I can ask tier 1 questions (especially 1-A stuff) without having to make a new one with every concern I have.

Therefore, my first two questions are hypotheticals (so no scans). They involve working around 1-A disqualifiers:

First Question
Say you have a High 1-A entity (or even an entity who's just a layer above baseline 1-A). This entity, then, by manipulating its nature/essence, limits itself to a lower mode of existence, similar to the Uvuudaum and other Far Realm creatures from D&D.

Would it be feasible for this same entity to have the power to not only return to their original state of existence but also to switch between different levels of lower existence? For example, they limited themself to human, then, under some circumstances, decided to switch into a baseline 1-A state.

Second Question
We know that non-1-As cannot absorb a 1-A power source. This same rule applies to non-1-As absorbing 1-A power from another non-1-A who was blessed with it (unless we're talking about a "for the taking" kind of power). However, what would you all say about this scenario?

Character A (the guy blessed with a 1-A power) has, within his essence, an intrinsic link with the source of this higher power. Character B (the other non-1-A) doesn't absorb the power directly but absorbs and replicates the guy's essence into his own, effectively gaining that same link for himself. In other words, instead of tapping into the higher power itself, Character B mirrors the very nature of Character A—who's already bonded to that source—and by internalizing that essence, he forges his own indirect connection to the same transcendental force.

If there's evidence or statements of them being able to do so. But we wouldn't assume they can lower themselves to any level of state just because they can take on the form of a human.

Second Question
We know that non-1-As cannot absorb a 1-A power source. This same rule applies to non-1-As absorbing 1-A power from another non-1-A who was blessed with it (unless we're talking about a "for the taking" kind of power). However, what would you all say about this scenario?

This can be seen as a type of trick, which could potentially work. Nothing says that 1-A powers or blessings can't be tricked into being applied to someone as else, as long as the blessing itself remains unaffected.

Alright, I'm going to drop a new question (really just testing the limits of these disqualifiers):

So say we have a baseline non 1-A reality. A 1-A entity decides it'll "assimilate" this reality into a 1-A realm, transforming it into one of its many "sub-realities." (On some MCU Dormammu shit). As a bonus, the baseline reality's inhabitants end up metaphysically transformed as a consequence.

Would this affect the tiering of either side (1-A/non 1-A) in any way?

Nah, 1-As can raise non 1-As to 1-A.
