The power to manipulate causality. Deterministic variation of Probability Manipulation. Form/Expression of Nigh-Omnipotence/Omnipotence.
Also Called[]
- Causality Alteration/Control
- Causation Control/Manipulation
- Causalitokinesis
Capabilities[]
Users can manipulate causality, the relationship between causes and effects, allowing them to decide what happens and what doesn't, when and how. There is no need for a "why" however, as the why of something is determined by causality itself, which is at the users' command, making it one of the few powers that reasonably don't need a reason.
The causal alterations can be either specific or systemic. Specific alterations are momentary ones, naturally ceasing with their realization i.e. wishes, or Systemic Alterations permanently changes the causal structure of reality, enforcing new chains of fate upon it until the user decides otherwise.

Levels[]
- Basic Level: User possess basic and usual control of the cause and effect. They have limited range on the fields of causality, though they can manipulate the causal rules of physics, science and up to warping reality with their power. These users usually have their own limitations while also they could possibly create their own by lack of knowledge and skills with their power. They can very well control events & destiny while also redefining the cause-and-effect rules of reality.
- Advanced Level: User possess a very high understanding, knowledge and power over cause and effect. These users can directly define and set new causal rules on reality and redefine or create new laws. They have power over metaphysical causality and can create entire systems with defining and underlying causal interactions of complex nature. They can rewrite any cause and any effect they desire and redefines various rules of logic to their favor. Users of this level of causality control, have few or almost no limitations on what they can affect with their power and has control over almost to every field of causality.
- Ultimate Level: User possess absolute and unlimited power over cause and effect in whatever its forms and types. These users can induce absolutely any effect without any logical cause or set a rational cause leading to the effect desired. The entire causal interaction and rules is completely defined by the user and there is nothing that can oppose them since they are not redefining causality rules but themselves the one source originating the cause for anything. Simply put, the user is the own cause, and the effect is whatever the user's want as they are transcendent of all causality. Users of this level of causality are usually all-powerful beings or ultimately powerful beings whose outclass their entire setting. Users have no limitations on what they can do, usually is not necessarily full knowledge of causality but they apply it anyway and all powers put against them are totally overridden as every effect have a cause, which is utterly under user's control.
Variations[]
Associations[]
- Causeless Activity
- Event Manipulation - Those who hold control over causality, potentially holds control of every event.
- Information Manipulation - Causality users often control information's between phenomena.
- Interaction Manipulation - Causal interactions.
- Meta-Concept Manipulation - The term causality is a scientific concept that describes the relationship between cause and effect.
- Outcome Manipulation - Some users have complete control of the effects and outcomes.
- Programmable Powers - Causality applications can be perfectly programmed.
- Temporal Selection - Some users can decide whatever they want to happen given sets of causes.
Limitations[]
- Acausality/Causality Infringement/Causality Negation.
- Can be overridden by Concept Manipulation.
- Will be overridden by Principle/Axiom Manipulation.
