So one last try and I'm just going to focus on the topic of what you are trying to insert in the article with Chaos Spear and Blast. You said "but the other Chaos Powers were not stated to be used with a Chaos Emerald" which is true of Spear and Blast HOWEVER they have never been stated to be used without a Chaos Emerald either. In fact little has been canonically stated about them outside of confirming that they exist. You keep pointing at the gameplay as your source, however gameplay is a weak source as it is filled with things that are NOT canon such as the extra life system and even Amy Rose the Hedgehog suddenly developing chameleon power of invisibility like Espio. In fact the very same evidence you are using has been used as evidence that Chaos Control does not need an Emerald, which has now been debunked by Shadow's own creator and head of Sonic Team, Iizuka. In all honesty if we allowed the use of such speculation we could argue that the Chaos Drives that are in Engman's robots are like mini Fake Chaos Emeralds which Shadow can draw power from for his Spears and Blasts - I am not actually arguing this I'm just drawing a point to the dangerousness of the speculation. Therefore since your claim is speculation, we must play this safe and NOT throw this speculation into the article.

Bottom line is, Sonic Team has never said anything that can be quoted one way or the other, therefore we should not say anything one way or the other.
