- "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."
- ― Red Mage (8-Bit Theater)
The power to manipulate logic. Sub-power of Omnipotence and Metaphysics Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Logical/Reason Manipulation
- Rationality/Rationale Manipulation
Capabilities[]
Users can manipulate logic, the reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity or situations, actions, circumstances or qualities of being justifiable by reason. With this power, users can achieve logically impossible feats on a whim, and freely redefine on a metaphysical level what is possible and impossible. This ability may either be derived from some highly transcendent powers, or simply exist without much of a cause. Despite being completely outclassed by forces beyond logic, the user can legitimately be considered among the most powerful beings in existence, shaping reality, metaphysics and causation with nothing but a thought and ignoring all kinds of physical and metaphysical laws like they didn't exist at all. Essentially, to anything bound by logic, the user would seem completely undefeatable and capable of doing anything, perhaps even appearing to be Omnipotent.

Variations[]
Limitations[]
- Users of Logic Immunity are immune.
- The power being illogical by nature, the writer could reasonably come up with illogical limitations.
- May cause unintended alterations to reality.
- May operate within an overarching logic which it cannot manipulate.
- Useless against users of Conceptual Transcendence and Logic Independence.
- Cannot affect concepts that are beyond logic.
- Absolutes and abilities derived from them exist entirely above logic, so this power is irrelevant to them.
- Almighty Laws may still bind the user.
- Higher Dimensions/Planes of Existence may be unbound by logic within a given setting.
- A being who does not have logic or who's logic doesn't exist could not be manipulated.
- A being who exists separately from their logic would not be affected by manipulating their logic.
