The power to disobey the rules of logic. Sub-power of Logic Manipulation and Paradox Manipulation

Also Called

• Illogical Inducement
• Temporal/Time Paradox Inducement
• Time Travel Paradox Inducement

Capabilities

The user can disobey the rules of logic itself, disrupt reality and logic to achieve many astonishing and yet illogical feats. For example the user can burn a person by throwing water at them. This is a very dangerous power as there is a possibility a reckless user of this ability may have their attacks backfire. The power is at its most potential at the hands of a dim-witted person, as they are the ones with less logical thinking.

Limitations

• Reality Warping and Paradox Inducement tend to cancel each other out.
• Despite all the illogical feats that can be achieved the user isn't truly omnipotent.
• For some, the effects would last for a limited amount of time or might be limited on how many paradoxes can be done.
• One must be careful in order to avoid a dangerous side-effect.
• Reality Warping can repair the damages done with this ability, as well as cancel out with Paradox Inducement.
• Requires practice to reduce any disastrous outcome.
• Paradoxes may try to repair themselves, causing the ill-elements to be killed off.
