I'm just curious what do you all think. Do monster attacks hurt humans, as in,

a) they hurt only their souls directly when they touch them, and are otherwise transparent to their physical bodies, or

b) they hurt their bodies too, meaning the soul that is shown in the battle screen represents Frisk's entire body (so it's in a simplified form of a sort).

Keep in mind that if b is true, it would mean that all white attacks are cast magic and none are actual parts of the monsters (so for example Toriel's hands in her fight aren't her own hands, but rather summoned ones).

Is there any evidence in the game that could possibly support or oppose either option?
