The ability to manipulate causality. Basic principle behind all Supernatural Abilities. Most rational expression of Omnipotence.
Also Called
- Causality Control
- Causation Control/Manipulation
Capabilities
User can control causality: the relationship between cause and effect. They can determine exactly what action (cause) will result in a certain reaction (effect); enabling them to decide what, when and how something happens without needing to specify "why" something can happen, as the "why" is determined by causality itself, which is a process that has fallen under the user's command.
Causal alterations can be specific or systemic. Specific alterations are momentary and time specific; their influence and presence will naturally cease with their realization (Absolute Wish). Systemic alterations are permanent; they completely change the causal structure of reality in some way. As a result, they will enforce new chains of fate upon it. That is, until the user desires otherwise (System Manipulation).
All forms of existence and phenomena rely on causality. Because of this, the power to manipulate it naturally overrides any other power put against it, as they all rely on causality to work.
