Demi-material 「半物質, han-busshitsu」 life-forms are life-forms that, despite being completely dependent on their material body, still display some spiritual qualities such as possessing magicules.
Background[]
Within That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, there exist three different types of universes or worlds: spiritual worlds, material worlds, and demi-material worlds, divided by the nature of the natural laws they follow. Those that are bound by their flesh and follow completely material laws are material life-forms, while their counterparts that reside within demi-material worlds are considered demi-material life-forms.
When a material life-form crosses into a demi-material world, their body perishes and they're reconstructed into a demi-material life-form.[2]
Properties[]
Demi-material life-forms, unlike material life-forms, possess some spiritual qualities. This is what allows them to do things like manipulate mana and store energy within their bodies.
Just like material life-forms, however, they are still completely bound to their material body, relying on things like biological functions and being subject to lifespan.
