Boundary Manipulation

Boundary Manipulation
Boundaries Are Everywhere.
Power/Ability to:	Manipulate boundaries.

The power to manipulate boundaries. Sub-power of Omni-Manipulation.

Also Called

• Borderline/Borderland/Border/Dichotomy/Duality Manipulation
• Boundary Godhood/Interface/Warping
• Oriokinesis/Sýnorokinesis

Capabilities

Users wield the power to create, manipulate, and shape boundaries. Depending on the particular level of ability they possess, this may include boundaries that are physical, material, spiritual, existential, pataphysical, logical, conceptual, metaphysical, and beyond. With the essence of everything defined by boundaries, the scope of possibilities is boundless. Even the very concept of limitations, represented by the boundary between the Possible and the Impossible, falls within the user's grasp for manipulation. In essence, for the highest level of this ability, there exists no feat beyond their reach; they possess the capacity to redefine their own boundaries, thereby rendering the impossible achievable.

Levels

Physical: Users can create, shape and manipulate various boundaries of a physical nature. This may include those defining the extent of objects, thus allowing them to perform feats such as cutting any object in two by creating a boundary through it, or merging two objects by overlapping their boundaries. This may also entail other boundaries such as those between dimensions, those defining the extent of spaces and/or times, and other boundaries defined in physics, allowing feats such as teleporting between places, times and dimensions.

Metaphysical: Users have the ability to create, shape and manipulate some/all boundaries of a metaphysical nature. This commonly includes the boundaries between established dichotomies or dualities, such as the boundaries 'good/evil', 'inside/outside', 'truth/falsehood', etc, though may also include more general boundaries such as those defining the extent of a concept. In almost all cases though, this affords the user an impressive range of abilities comparable to Reality Warping on a similar level. However, users of this level commonly possess either an inability to manipulate their own personal boundaries or a highly limited ability to do so that prevents them from going beyond certain fixed limits that they cannot alter, meaning that they cannot freely redefine the scope of their own abilities and can be beaten, surpassed, etc, by other powerful beings.

Absolute: The most powerful level of Boundary Manipulation, at which the user is capable of creating, shaping and manipulating absolutely all boundaries. This necessarily includes boundaries of an absolute nature that would normally be impossible to alter or defy, allowing them to achieve even absolute abilities via their manipulation of boundaries. They are also capable of manipulating all of their own boundaries, allowing them to freely redefine the scope and limitations of themselves and their abilities to achieve any desired level of power or transcendence, being capable of becoming completely boundless should they so choose. Users of this level are, in principle, capable of absolutely anything, as the boundaries defining all laws of totality and all scales of possibility fall under their capacity to manipulate, and anything can be redefined by alteration of its boundaries.
