Hi! I have kind of a weird Yugioh-related powers question and I'm sorry in advance because YGO is a weird, ambiguous canon.
I saw that you answered earlier on a question to a Juudai about summoning, but there's an odd summoning power in the original YGO. I would be apping Atem here, who is the spirit of a pharaoh from ancient Egypt. In his time, an individual's soul was split up into their kaa and baa. The kaa could be manifested into a creature that was a reflection of the summoner themselves; basically, it was a representation of their soul. Stronger souls meant stronger monsters, and they usually said something about the individual's personality themselves. The baa, on the other hand, was the part more strongly integrated with the individual themselves, and basically counted as their life force. Individuals could call their own kaa, or they could summon other people's trapped kaas from stone tablets. Any summoning took baa, and taking damage to a summoned monster meant losing baa. Running out of baa, or losing your personal kaa, was fatal.
ALL OF THAT CONFUSING BACKSTORY OUT OF THE WAY I can get to the main questions. The main one would be whether thing kind of summoning would be allowed, mostly because YGO is super unclear over whether this is something that can be done in modern times or not. Hypothetically it should be, but as this entire thing is learned about in the last arc of the series and there's never opportunity to reason to use it in modern day (the whole thing takes place in a 'memory world' set in ancient Egypt) there's no confirmation. There's also the problem of that Atem never summons his own kaa because he's suffering from amnesia at the time and has no idea what it is/how to do it, and so there's no canon choice of kaa for him. There's a popular choice based on parallels drawn in canon, but it's totally guessing. (Thanks YGO for giving a canon kaa to like everyone but YOUR MAIN CHARACTER.)
Because of all this I totally understand if this kind of summoning should just be nerfed completely! If so, summoning from cards would be awesome, if that's something that's doable (limited to five or less, of course. c:) I just thought I'd ask about the whole mess rather than trying to figure out if it's eligible to be included in the app or not. Atem's other two powers are pretty straightforward but this one is so confusing. 8| Oh, and as a last note in case you're familiar with canon, he'd be coming from the very end of the show so no Sennen Puzzle involved in any of this stuff.
