Capabilities
Users can create, distort, and manipulate space, the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction, within an area of one's choosing, including an area and whatever is inside of that area. Most commonly, users can use this ability to teleport by depleting the space from point A to point B, simply choosing to occupy a different space, or by creating portals. At a higher level, users can 'pull' space together apart, effectively generating a magnetic pull which causes anything of the user's choosing to diverge upon or to rip apart any object by tearing away the space that it occupies. They can also do the opposite: 'pushing' space, which is essentially the expansion of space in a certain area to push away objects. Depending on how strong the 'push force', it can act as an unstoppable cannon that launches space and anything that occupied it.
Users can utilize this ability offensively by erasing or rupturing space, obliterating anything that occupied that space as well. If the user's control of space is precise enough, they can selectively tear off limbs or vital organs from their opponents by manipulating and separating the space that they occupy. By pulling and folding space around an object, users can also prevent it from moving or crush it. Users can use this ability defensively as well by erasing space in front or around themselves to create a vacuum for which nothing can enter, effectively creating an impenetrable shield around the user. Otherwise, the user can achieve the same effective by infinitely dividing the space between themselves and the opponent, making it impossible for the aggressor to reach the space manipulator.
Advanced users can move objects as if they were telekinetic by controlling the space that they occupy, which also can be used to enhance their own physical abilities, such as strength and speed. Users would also be capable of creating subspaces that can trap objects or be used as powerful projectiles. They can also use this ability to levitate in the air. At an ultimate level, users would be able to generate spatial paradoxes (i.e. a room appearing bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, a never-ending corridor), phenomena, and other distortions that affect things at a universal level. They would also be able to manipulate other forms of esoteric space that has properties completely different from space in the real world, allowing them to achieve a plethora of effects, some even on nigh-omnipotent levels.

Limitations
- Spatiolock
- Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
- Distorting space can also distort the fabric of time since they both are interconnected. Therefore, if the user doesn't use this power wisely, they can damage the space-time continuum.
- May be unable to create space, being limited to manipulating only the already existing one.
- May require to be honed or amplified by specific objects.
