Bum Manipulation - the capacity to manipulate bum bums.
Maybe Physical Information Manipulation is a good idea for a power. It enables the user to manipulate the information of physical systems, which is associated with the physical properties of those systems.
Yeah, if i recall, Virtual Warping was supposed to be that, since it allows for the manipulation of reality in a "computer-like fashion".
We already have that - its called impossibility inducement
Fire Manipulation is the more effective option destructively, but Smoke Manipulation could be used to form smoke that allows its user to stand on it or lift the user up in the air (this is provided that there is enough smoke and smoke kinetic energy to do this though).
Both could be used to shield the user though what they can shield the user from depends on certain factors. Both can allow for suffocation and some other stuff.
It isn't really a good idea to class a reality warper as a high-tier ability user simply because they have the potential to do a truck load of stuff. Unless that is what you are going for of course.
Ah, so its more based on personality, behavioural tendencies, power versatility and the like. Alright, you do you.
I do wonder if doing that will affect them negatively in the long run though; we see a lot of people from all industries in the west now, such as the gaming, film, entertainment and even the journalism community that act unprofessional and get away with it nearly all the time.
Wouldn't a better system be one that centres around the amount of useful stuff abilities are used to do, in respects to time, efficiency and effectiveness, or in other words, wouldn't a better class system be one that centres around the measurement of ability usage performance? I mean, characters could have the ability to warp reality, yet their performance could be so bad to the point that they cannot do much of anything with their reality warping capacities.

Reality Coding is the combination of Programmable Powers and Reality Warping. Provided that you have both abilities, you can use PP to instruct the subconscious to warp reality into specific states once specific physiological/biological conditions have been reached of course.

Well that's one way of using it
Okay, so earlier i began thining about this ability - how telekinetic is the acceleration (push/pull/attraction/repulsion) of matter from a remote distance using nothing but the mind. Now, after i stopped thinking about the physics of the ability, such as how it works, why it works, physiological factors, etc. i soon began to attempt thinking of fun, creative ways of using this ability and... well... i couldn't. Like, all it does is allow the user to use their mind to accelerate objects and i couldn't really think of fun or creative ways for using it. So here i am, and i want to know if any of you can think of any creative and/or fun ways for using this skill, because i can't.
(Note, when i say telekinesis, i mean "far movement (as in, acceleration) of matter"; not space, time, vector, etc. manipulation if that wasn't clear enough)
Oh, i see. Yep, i see where the misunderstanding was made.
No, see - okay, let me put it like this. An observer is any system that performs an observation, no? Observation is any interaction between two things that cause them to access information (physical, sensory, chemical, magical, etc) about the other and thus detect any property (such as electrical charge, mass, momentum, position, etc) that is associated with the information accessed, because it has been specified by the accessed information, no?
An observer is already relative to something else; the subject that it is observing. This is why I didn't say the word "relative" because I figured that it was already implied.
Hmm... relative to what, huh... okay, relative to any other entity that the observing system is currently performing an observation on as a result of them engaging in specific interactions with one another.

I think that, if there's an immovable object, then there CAN'T exist an unstoppable force. It has to be one of them: not both.

This reminds me the irresistible force paradox. If we take real science into consideration, the most concrete answer might be "one of both don't exist if the other does".
Unfortunately, inertia is the capacity to resist change to motion or rest; it isn't a quantitative property but a qualitative property. Given that mass is the amount of inertia that an entity has, i think it would be more appropiate to say if an entity had an infinite amount of mass, it would be both immovable to an observer at rest and unstoppable (or at least able to move faster than light) to an observer in motion.
Why did i comment this, because i love to procrastinate, when i shouldn't be.
I wouldn't say Psionic allows for physics control, but okay. Plus, it isn't that I didn't understand what you were trying to say, I understood it all, I was just puzzled when it was said that supernatural events were above nature, despite needing to follow some kind of natural law to take place (we can say that they are above the natural laws we know of, though, hence being "supernatural").
Of course, if an explanation to magic was provided, then it isn't magic by its normal definition but is "magic" because the author decided to call it as such. The explanation would, of course, have to be scientific, but whether that refers to the standard model of physical interaction-like scientific is dependent on the nature of the scientific explanation provided. It's like with that one anime i watched, where Magic had some kind of scientific explanation to it, but it was still called magic.
I'm a little confused since there need to be natural laws in place for a "supernatural" event to take place, but I suppose that somehow doesn't apply to fiction. Plus, a force is an interaction that causes nothing but acceleration (of matter, its size and direction related), but I guess that also doesn't apply to the supernatural aspects of fiction. Also, that does lead to one other confusion, since if it wasn't explainable despite being reproducible by people, meaning that a system of methods for reproducing supernatural events exists and is available for use, then... ah you know what, nevermind.
Anyway, unless Psionics is only able to accelerate objects or just outright manipulate probabilistic/vectorial/variable/systemic/property/physical information and not break energy conservation under any circumstance to do so or during so, i still assume that it is Magic.
Technically speaking, Psionics is Magic when you really begin to think about it. The difference really is the system of methods for causing effects to occur. Magicians utilise Visual or Verbal Spell Languages to communicate with some supernatural mechanism and instruct it to produce specific effects. Psionic Users communicate with some supernatural mechanism using thoughts or imagination and instruct it to produce specific effects. At least, that is what i think.
To OP, i guess that when an individual or an entity of any kind is considered to be absolute, it is actually meant that they have a relatively immeasurable amount of influence over something. Kind of like how a country can be called a superpower if it has a large amount of influence over international activity and an absolute power if it has absolute control over international activity.
Its called Reality Warping now.
