Maybe so, but not all of them I believe have an ability that can block UV-rays.

Anyway,

Rather than the problem of true/false, it's more of the fact that it is written by the people who read it that's the problem... Especially with this series where the explanations/results/rules are written in a messy manner... The interpretations are different...

Right~ That's the thing. The author clearly declares his power to connect to his skin, yet she writes the story like it's completely different.

I see... well, retcons happen when an author gets stuck with some contradiction within his/her work. I have experienced this on one of the most retconed stories in the last 2 decades, Warcraft. This series is so prone to retcons that the authors have introduced a new way to fool-proof their alterations -- Flavor Lore.

Spoiler for Flavor Lore, saving space:

Flavor lore is lore that is written in-universe that doesn't necessarily agree with what actually happened, but exists in the world of Azeroth to add realism, and make the world seem more alive.

Flavor lore often includes competing historical accounts written by in-universe authors, competing legends kept by various races in the world, or even different belief systems.

Well, lets see if Index's author (due to too much contradictions and not enough research on the science side) resorts to flavor lore in the long run.
