Paradox Manipulation

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic can not be stopped. The success or failure of any given step will have no impact on the macro level"

― Red Mage (8-Bit Theater)

"Until then, "nothing". But then, "I" spoke. "My name is Self-Reference ENGINE. A structure that in order to not proclaim everything, had not been designed, and therefore does not exist." With that declaration, "I" hence began existing, had thus existed prior."

― Self-Reference ENGINE

The power to manipulate paradoxes or be beyond common sense. Combination of Unreality and Impossibility Manipulation. Form/Expression of Nigh-Omnipotence. Opposite to Logic Manipulation.

Also Called[]

Absurd/Illogic/Surrealism Manipulation
Contradiction Manipulation
Inconsistency Manipulation
Irrational Manipulation
Nonsensical Manipulation

Capabilities[]

The user possesses the ability to directly alter, control, and reshape paradoxes - contradictory defiance of logic, natural laws, or established truths. They can create paradoxical situations through volition, as well as resolve, contain, or unleash paradoxes, with paradoxes being defined as unexplained phenomenon, something that exists or happens when it logically shouldn't. When this power is used at its highest levels, users are possibly able to ignore the rules of reality.

Users can use this power to achieve a variety of results and in ways that should be seemingly impossible and defy common sense and logic. For example, they can create a square that isn’t a square or create a place where it’s raining and not raining at the same time. By manipulating paradoxes, they may be able to grant themselves powers that logically should be impossible to exist, warp reality in nonsensical ways, and achieve feats that are completely impossible and defy the very laws of reality and logic. They could regularly achieve completely impossible things with relative ease.

Despite the power focusing on manipulating paradoxes, it is still guided by logic since a paradox is an occurrence that deviates from what is logically possible, however on master levels users can even defy this because they could exist beyond even rewritten rules because it is both governed and not governed by logic simultaneously as logic defines reality, paradoxes challenge those definitions.
