Unfortunately this power is fundamentally flawed. While it looks like an awesome power, and I grant you it's fascinating, it just doesn't work the way it becomes essentially omnipotent. This power is based onnit's creators axiomatic yet flawed definition of perception. It is claimed that time, space and everything only exists because we perceive it. Going further the creator implicitly claimsnthat one's nature is defined by how others perceive it. This is simply false. Let me give you an example: For a long time humanity perceieved earth as flat rather than round. But this perception didn't make the earth flat in reality, it still remained a sphere. Or looking up at the stars they seem ever so tiny light particles while in reality they are enormous masses of hydrogen and helium burning with incredible heat. The fact is how we perceive something it doesnt change it's nature. Perception and one's nature is independent. In case of human's and other living beings the interactions are indeed based on perception however this is not a general rule. A rock cannot perceive time yet it erodes degrades and changes. PM can be as powerful in worlds based on perception(Matrix) as omnipotence however real world doesn't work that way. The nature of something and how we perceive it are fundamentally different things.
