Rewrite all of reality ? Manipulate the cycle of anything ? Control all forms of matter ? Puppeter reality on a meta-conceptual level ?

I get the feeling Malcolm may be a tiny bit too powerful for his narrative purpose ^ ^; What stops him from... swiftly achieving anything he wants ? How could the Hargrave empire possibly stand a chance against this much power ?

So Malcolm basically kidnapped his "citizens" to enforce his socio-political values upon them ? Who is he to decide in their place that freedom is above happiness ? How is he any better than Bradley Hargrave ?

He seems closer to the Chaotic Neutral counterpart to Bradley's Lawful Evil : both obsessed with freedom / control respectively, and equally selfish in their own way.
