Rumor Manifestation

"Rumors are mostly a projection of the people who started them."

- Ashley Benson

The power to manifest rumors into reality. Sub-power of Xenopsychic Reality Warping and Boundary Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Rumor/Reality

Capabilities
The user possesses the ability to cause rumors spread by people to become real, regardless or not if they were originally true to begin with. The effects of bringing rumors to life can vary from what rumors are being spread around, but it's often bound to be chaotic. Through this ability, the line between what is a rumor and what's real becomes blurred, and rumors large enough will write themselves into the fabric of reality itself; changing entire events in history and affecting everyone involved. Users may only restrict the manifestations to a certain population of people; narrowing it down.

Because of the potential applications (or rather consequences) of manifesting rumors, there are too many to list.

Applications

 * Belief Vocifery - If enough people believe the rumors.
 * Chaos Inducement - Naturally. Especially concerning large scale rumors. (Such as the end of the world occuring on a certain date)
 * Event Manipulation - Uncontrolled.
 * Existence Manipulation - Uncontrolled.
 * Paradox Inducement - Conflicting rumors.
 * Power Bestowal - Should a rumor successfully be spread about someone having certain powers or skills, they can grant those people abilities.
 * Reality Randomization
 * Uncontrolled Resurrection - Ex. a rumor spreads that famous person who had passed away is actually alive, be it via cloning or if the person in question is immortal, or if they just wanted to get out of the spotlight.

Associations

 * Lie Manipulation
 * Perspective Manipulation
 * Uncertainty Manipulation

Limitations

 * The chance of the rumor becoming real depends on how much it has been spread.
 * This ability is nearly uncontrollable and desired effects may rarely happen, if at all.
 * Truth Inducement can potentially be a counter, depending on how it interacts with rumors.
 * May only work in a certain range.

Known Users
