Limitations

Well defined or established powers, such as Universal Irreversibility, Omnilock, Probability Manipulation, etc. are slightly resistant to this power (re-scripting of a certain aspect is possible, but not the core properties).
Users of Meta Power Immunity are immune.
Opposed by Anti-Power Manipulation.
Energy expenditure in the form of mental power etc. can vary from little too extraordinary depending on the mastery of the power by the user (users could self-bestow Infinite Supply, eliminating this limit).
Users of Power Anchoring cannot have their powers manipulated.
May be unable to create powers, being limited to manipulating only already existing ones.
May be limited to a certain nature of the abilities (DNA, Magic, etc).
- Usually requires the Powers as Programs trope to work.
Susceptible to users of Meta Power Manipulation.
The range of this ability may depend on the user. But it's relevant to point out that the Meta Power Manipulation ability has a theme of controlling any type of power throughout any type of existence. A superpower can be better described as a type of category for a superhuman trait within an individual. Meaning that any user of the superpower manipulation ability would be limited to only manipulating the unique superhuman traits found within sentient beings. While any user of the Meta Power Manipulation ability would be capable of doing so much more. Meta power manipulation can be better described as the ability to control the essence of power throughout any type of existence. While superpower manipulation would be controlling the rather specific unique superhuman traits found within sentient beings.
