Physics is certainly not elusive or abstract in anyway that you can conceive with or without the science. And I certainly didn't even make an attempt to deconstruct probability, I just mentioned EXACTLY what it is, a measure of likliehood and potential. You treat probabilities as if its as tangible and empirical as physics when it's most certainly not. Physics directly involves properties and identities, laws and guidlines, including probabilities.

"how does Physics Manipulation work if not by manipulating the probabilities underlying the physical universe ?" Classic example of a post hoc ergo procter hoc fallacy. Every power is technically altering probabilities on some level... even our simple movements constantly indirectly manipulates probability because it is an omnipresent aspect of reality. Probability manipulation itself works by DIRECTLY influencing the abstract mathematical measure to affect reality to work in the user's favor. Physics manipulation just like every other power doesn't influence that abstraction first to consequently allow reality to adjust to a new measure given.
