"There are many masters of illusion in the universe, Rachel. Many manipulators of perception. But only I am a master of reality. A manipulator of the concrete. Well, then, perhaps this is a fantasy, after all. Your fantasy. But I can make it real at any time."
― Crayak (Animorphs)
"Reality is often disappointing. That is, it was. Now, reality can be whatever I want."
― Thanos (Avengers: Infinity War)
"On her tenth birthday, Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir learned about mistakes.
She had been looking up at the sky and wondered what it would look like if it were pink instead of blue. And then it was.
In a panic, she tried to change it back to blue, but she could never get the color quite right. It was either too dark or too light, or it was too green or too purple, or too bright or too dark."
― Da Capo al Fine (SCP Foundation)

The power to manipulate reality. Form/Expression of Nigh-Omnipotence. Variation of Warping.

Capabilities

The user can manipulate reality or the existential state of anything or everything the user chooses to command. Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system. Everything that humanity has categorized as real or possesses a physical impact on their surrounding area can be defined as actual. From the laws of physics (matter, energy, space-time), the universe to intangible phenomena such as logic is considered to exist.

How reality warping actually works is the user overwrites their target's current existential state, for example, a super-earth. The user pastes their interpretation of what the super-earth should be, a mercury-size-planet or massive illuminated brown dwarf. Another example is overwriting the universe, erasing or pasting their exposition over the original universe. It is similar to editing a word document, erasing and overwriting existing content to provide space for the original content. Not to be confused with an advanced variant of reality warping: Existence Manipulation. Users of existence manipulation shape their target instead of pasting over its current state, enabling them to alter the existence or actuality of their target freely.

Reality Warping is a general term for characters to manipulate reality; they can utilize anything. From matter and energy, due to its interconnectivity with the layers of reality, potent cosmic or psionic powers, space-time, overwhelming emotions, dreams, imagination, and fundamental forces. The most common (as well as the most powerful and pure) variant of reality warping is Mentifery, the power to manipulate reality through the power of the mind. These two superpowers are often indistinguishable, both wielding the same properties and control, except Mentifery possesses raw power and enormous potential due to being fueled by the mind, considered the most powerful concept or source in the universe to its complexity and mysterious nature. Users can materialize their imagination, thoughts, dreams, or mind into the material world and shape them to shift reality according to their willpower. The main limitations of reality warping are an advanced variation of the superpower or understanding the sophistication of reality itself; everything requires understanding to be used effectively.

At basic or advanced levels, the user can manifest their imagination (beings or objects) into reality, generating corporeal forms of their role models, superpowers, families, pets, to fantasy, bend reality to cause only beneficial events to happen only to the user, denying the laws of physics, or re-editing their current condition to achieve godhood. At master or ultimate scale, the user overrides anything tangible on a large scale, shaping massive quantities of planets, stars, or galaxies into any form the user desires, manipulating the laws of physics that they can only benefit from or make beings suffer from their renewed laws, or warping the universe akin to photo editing. Due to reality warping's potential, the user can manipulate the universe, multiverse, omniverse, possible totality, and even anything that doesn't possess a tangible form or is nonexistent.

Applications (General)

  • Absolute Will: In most cases, users require nothing but their will alone to control reality.
  • Freedom: A powerful reality warper is unshackled to do as they see fit, with no restraints.
  • Logic Manipulation/Nigh-Omnipotence: A lot of the time, reality warpers are usually powerful beings that can do practically anything and rewrite what is and isn't logically possible.

Application (Details)

Creation

Destruction

Enhancements

  • Infinite Supply: Some users can have an infinite supply of everything they need by warping reality to do so.
    • Infinite Energy: A reality warper can make themselves have an infinite amount of energy.
  • Nigh/Complete-Arsenal: Possess almost every or every single superpower ever.
  • Omni-Empowerment: Some users can gain an endless supply of strength, energy and power from an infinite number of sources.
  • Omni-Augmentation: Powerful users can freely augment/empower everything, including themselves or anything else around them without any limitations and as often as they wish.
  • Omnifarious: Powerful users can transform/shapeshift into anything they want.

Manipulations

Techniques

Power Level

  • Basic-Level Users
    • Users of this stage cannot entirely break reality, but they can bend its rules. This can range from basic (like running on vertical walls, altering one's perception, etc...) to more complex applications (like transmutation, altering forces of nature, etc...).
  • Advanced-level Users
    • Users at this level can control the very rules and laws that govern reality and can manipulate them into whatever it can or can't be.
  • Master-Level Users
    • Users at this level can not only manipulate the rules of reality but also the logical framework that these rules follow, thus letting them make reality either be logical and rational or impossible and illogical.
  • Ultimate-Level Users
    • Users of this level are mighty beings. Being able to control most if not all existence. Letting them do practically anything they want. In this state the user can be considered Nigh-Omnipotent.
  • Absolute-Level Users
    • Users of this level have almighty control of all realities and existences. They are capable of manipulating every aspect of reality from the beginning to the end, physical and metaphysical.

Variations

Associations

  • Jinx/Meta Jinx: Some users don't manipulate reality themselves, although their jinx is so bad that it breaks reality in disasters.
  • Luck/Meta Luck: Some users don't manipulate reality themselves, although their luck is so powerful that reality bends to their liking.
  • Reality Guardianship: The user becomes a protector of reality, thereby receiving abilities from it.
  • Reality Mutation: The user can undergo mutation through a reality-based source.
  • Reality Power Link: The user is connected to the source of reality.

Limitations

Trivia

  • In Marvel Comics, reality manipulation involves affecting the (sub)atomic structure of matter and energy, as well as altering space-time in some cases; non-Marvel Comics basis actually revolves around altering the existential state of things. This is because Marvel has a subjective view of how this power might be used.
  • Running into characters with such powers can be incredibly chancy. Arguing with the more powerful ones may well be futile, especially since they can literally reject your reality and substitute their own. Any scientific or natural laws such as biology, causality, physics, concepts or even time, space, order, chaos – they no longer apply to the user. Yes, a Reality Warper can do anything they want, Anything. The critical issue here is how far one can take this. A character with a mild form of this power may fly by negating the effect of gravity on themselves. A significant cause of this may be a hiccup and accidentally tearing the space-time continuum. High-end Reality Warpers tend to be related to the setting itself, such as being one of the sentient cosmic laws. For the really high-end ones, see The Omnipotent.
