Line #16 RealityWarper/FanWorks


1	%%* This is the concept behind yoshi3000's Project Blackthorn with all the reality warpers all under a "Order of Reality" council. It's rather chaotic.%%Add a link and explain how this is an example.
2	* ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'': [[MadScientist Grigori Vinci]] eventually develops a low-tier version of this ability via observing the effects of an [[ItRunsOnNonsenseoleum Awakened Devil Fruit]] and [[VariantPowerCopying incorporating it]] into his [[HourOfPower Third Gear]]. It's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] compared to many other examples as it causes HeroicRROD to varying degrees whenever he uses it, due to trying to enact PowerAtAPrice without there being a Devil Fruit to ''set'' said price.
3	* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has many, being partially derived from superhero comics.
4	** Skyfathers, Earthmothers, and higher-end "Greater Gods" (gods with specific mantles of power) can all do this to varying extents -- Loki, as a God of Magic, is a particular example. However, their use is limited by various [[GodsHandsAreTied Rules]], some unbreakable, others formal and informal restrictions to prevent Earth being vaporised.
5	** This is the most fundamental feature of Chaos Magic, as explored through Chthon in the first book, and through Wanda Maximoff and Hermione Granger (Wanda's so far unaware daughter). Aspects of it are described as being part of all magic: it's why magic, wandless in particular, affects technology and practitioners' surroundings in general, and how hexes and jinxes often work). Pure Chaos Magic, though, goes beyond [[WindsOfDestinyChange probability manipulation]] to the borders of WrongContextMagic: potentially, the only limitations on it are those imposed by how much power the wielder can physically sustain, what they can comprehend, and what they are willing to do -- especially given that too much weakens the fabric of reality (which is part of Chthon's plan). As is [[LampshadeHanging discussed]], Hermione, who thrives on [[MagicAIsMagicA memorising and understanding the rules and limitations of magic]], is quite possibly the very worst person to end up with such a power set.
6	*** Additionally, Wanda's mutant power ties into this, thanks to Chthon's influence. Her blessing on Harry (in short: he'll always have someone to back him up) makes him a MagneticHero and is strong enough to be detected by Odin.
7	*** Hermione's own mutation, which turns out to be [[spoiler: Spatial Manipulation]], borders on this in its own right, as is demonstrated when she gets possessed by a minor EldritchAbomination that was a living PsychologicalTormentZone.
8	** Doctor Strange is repeatedly stated to be someone who long ago decided that the Laws of Reality were for other people, performing feats that shouldn't really be possible, with it occasionally being speculated that [[MemeticBadass Reality took one look at Strange and decided it didn't want any trouble]]. However, he can't do ''exactly'' what he wants and admits that he would be tempted by the power offered by Chthon, suggesting that it's limited - most likely to his immediate proximity.
9	** The Phoenix, along with the rest of the Endless, with one being [[spoiler: (Harry)]] that she possesses being described as not so much standing up as arranging the universe around them so that they were standing up, in the exact way that Chthon did just a few scenes earlier, as well as being described as having 'complete control over the powers of life and death'.
10	** [[spoiler: Harry]] during the finale when Chthon possesses him and just after, as [[spoiler: Strange]] arranged matters so that he would be at the heart of reality when it was in an especially malleable state, allowing him to set things right - with help. However, there are still cracks and flaws, suggesting that the repair job wasn't perfect - when an older alternate counterpart of [[spoiler: Harry]] notices this, the defensive response is that he "worked with what he had."
11	** The Dark Phoenix is this in horrifying spades, walking the line between HumanoidAbomination and fully fledged EldritchAbomination (the most recent one was a HumanoidAbomination. The original graduated to EldritchAbomination after an unknown period of time).
12	* Several characters are capable of this in ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman''. Anyone capable of learning "true magic" can do the same, but Celestia and Luna stamped out the practice due to it being abused.
13	* ''Fanfic/DisneysWarACrossoverStory'': Alice from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' is portrayed as such. The Horned King is the first to discover this ability and tries to brainwash her to use her power to bend reality itself in order to [[AGodAmI make him into an all-powerful god]].
14	* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsFriendshipSouls'':
15	** Discord's Zanpaktou, ''Konran Arashi'' (Chaos Storm), is half this and half SpaceMaster. It has the power to disrupt naturally existing orders. Whether that be the order in one’s body, or the order of spirit energy that creates a Zanpaktou’s powers, or even more fundamental laws like the direction sound travels through the air. In other words, anyone that gets hit with it gets an InterfaceScrew. Its Bankai is even more powerful, but also more dangerous because it's area-of-effect and he can't guarantee the safety of anyone who gets caught up in it by accident [[spoiler:like what happened to Screwball and Screwloose when they got hit by the tail-end of it during his fight with Starlight Glimmer during her betrayal.]]
16	** Pinkie's evolved Fullbring is basically the RuleOfFunny weaponized such that she can distort the laws of physics as long as the result can be considered a "gag".
17	** Hoity Toity's Schrift, The Xenomorph, allows him to transform any and all physical matter he implants with his reiatsu as he desires, to the point that at full power, he can even transform his own body such that it resembles someone else or that it changes forms of matter from 'solid' to 'liquid' to even a full-on EnergyBeing state. It's major weakness is that a sufficiently strong spiritual pressure can resist him.
18	** [[spoiler: Sci-Twi's]] Schrift, The Variable, provides a limited version of this. By analyzing the target of her choice, including herself, she can change the "variables" about it to her liking. This can let her do things from changing the "speed" and "direction" of her own attacks, to switching around "resistances" and "weaknesses", to even [[GenderBender switching from "female" to "male"]].
19	** The Soul Queen's powers included using her absolute command of reishi to reshape the world around her.
20	* ''Fanfic/FallenKing'' has this. Pegasus, Yami Bakura, and Joey and Tristan gain the ability to summon monsters from the Shadow Realm into reality. Pegasus also alters the structure of his castle, locking the heroes into an endless room.
21	* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'': Conceptual weapons are able to manipulate a natural law. Gáe Bolg, Fragarach, and Black Barrel Replica are classified as such.
22	* ''Fanfic/TheGamesWePlayTheGamerRWBY'': [[spoiler:Malkuth]] can change the rules of reality. In theory, he has limits, but they're broad enough that he might as well be a god. Unfortunately, he's a dick. ''The'' dick, as he [[spoiler:created the Grimm. In fact, most of the Grimm, particularly the biggest and strongest types, can only ''exist'' because he bends reality over a barrel]].
23	* ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'': [[spoiler:As Phobos shows once he gets Elyon's power]], [[HomeFieldAdvantage when on the world their Heart is from]], the bearer of a Heart can create, reshape, and destroy matter, twist gravity, warp space, and stop time.
24	* ''Fanfic/HalloweenUnspectacular'': The Fiddley Thing is a device that can do anything, from transforming someone into a were-lioness to ripping holes in the fabric of space and time. It's upgraded thrice over the course of the second collection, ''Do the Gasmask Shuffle''; at the climax, having all three Fiddley Things together [[spoiler:wipes out the multiverse and, later, ascends the heroes involved in the final battle (except for the ''VideoGame/LANoire'' characters).]]
25	* ''Blog/MiraculousRewrite'': Marc gains this power when he's akumatized into Anansi. Everything around him becomes warped to fit his superhero SelfInsert fanfic, from Nathaniel becoming his crime-fighting partner to the Ladyblog spontaneously transforming into the Spideyblog.
26	* ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'': Fumikage Tokoyami doesn't have a Quirk. Instead, he's bonded to a fifth-dimensional genie named Tskymi, who can do almost anything with a command. Tskymi tends to operate on ToonPhysics most of the time, pulling an enormous magnifying glass out of {{Hammerspace}} and turning into a cannon with functioning arms to load and light himself. He also claims to have "phenomenal cosmic powers" like Bat-Mite, who can alter all of reality and [[BreakingTheFourthWall shatter the fourth wall]] at a whim.
27	* [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] in ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls''. [[spoiler:When Kyril goes into an UnstoppableRage after his [[ResurrectiveImmortality "assassination"]], he pursues the target responsible]]. As [[spoiler:the Hunter]] walks, objects shake and bleed. Portraits shifted briefly into things out of a SurrealHorror movie. Darkness envelops the target, leaving a small circle of light around him. [[spoiler:Makes sense, for Kyril is a [[EldritchAbomination great one]]. It is unknown how much control he has over reality, and whether the "warped" environment goes back to normal after a while.]]
28	* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': The beginning of the story reveals that Cyrus [[NotQuiteDead did not die when he vanished into that portal]], but instead found the way to manipulate the strands of reality, and eventually figured out how to create his [[WorldOfSilence world without spirit]].
29	* ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'':
30	** Alicorns and draconequi, being concepts of reality, all have this power (though the alicorns are more reserved, being Nature's Law), Discord simply has it up to eleven after [[spoiler:[[CannibalismSuperpower eating his brother Destruction and their father Havoc's avatar]]]] to the point a normal alicorn or draconequus is no match for him. While it's not shown ''how'' much, the [[TopGod Elders]] are this on a cosmic scale to the point Entropy [[RetGone erasing her mate Havoc from existence]] and then him willing himself back into it is equal to one member of a bickering couple shoving the other to them. We see later that the Elders have the ability to alter reality with their words alone, they just prefer not to use it most of the time. [[spoiler:Entropy's mortal incarnation, Maud Pie, makes 'fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin' a thing when she's convinced of it.]]
31	** General-Admiral Makarov, the BigBad of the Shining Armor arc, can do this to a certain extent in his immediate surroundings, due to [[spoiler: actually being a [[HumanoidAbomination creation of Pandora's]]]]; he mostly does this to boost his image and ability to win, as part of his status as a ParodySue. During the climax of the arc, he uses a Paradox Engine to boost his powers, in order to wipe out all his enemies and establish himself as the flawless hero-ruler of the whole world. Fortunately, an [[BerserkButton enraged]] Shining Armor destroying the Engine, combined with [[spoiler: Pandora nullifying his PlotArmor]], causes the various plot holes he's created to catch up with him, leaving him weakened and leaving his forces at a significant disadvantage.
32	* Several ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' fanfictions have Mirta upgrade from making illusions to flat-out altering the universe when she gets in the grips of powerful emotions; most explain her wallflower personality as her way of keeping her powers in check.
33	* [[Series/{{Glee}} Brittany]] develops this ability in ''Fanfic/{{Special}}'', and while learning how to control it turns a pillow into a goldfish and makes Lord Tubbington talk. It fits with her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that her powers, like some of the other kids', leaked through before the story began. Which means that some of the bizarre things she talked about (her cat reading her diary, getting lost in the sewers) most likely actually happened.]]
34	* In ''Fanfic/TheStoryToEndAllStories'', the Nothing does this to fiction, causing characters from different genres to meet.
35	* ''Ultraman Moedari'': Lunaram flings alternate space and warped realities about like heck in the latter part of the series, Lugeno is trapped in one, Finem does them, and they're treated like everyday appearances due to "god going berserk."
36	* In ''Fanfic/{{Visiontale}}'', determined beings are reality warpers, even more than in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' itself. The inherent determination in humans allows them to cast magic without training. Sufficiently-determined humans can create physical objects, in addition to saving and loading. Monsters' personal experiences and knowledge of the laws of physics they are violating limits how they can warp reality and how extensively they can do so.
37	* The Legendary Girl of Legend in the [[https://videogameshrines.weebly.com/introduction3.html Blizzard shrines]] of the [[https://videogameshrines.weebly.com/ Video Game Shrines]] possesses the [[ShoutOut Aspect]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} of Arceus]], which ''literally allows her to modify any and all of existence at will''. She never does, believing she would cause more harm than good if she continually remade existence to suit her vision. Instead, she fights alongside adventurers to fix problems the old fashioned way.
38	--> '''The Legendary Girl of Legend''': "I’m sure you’ve wondered why I don’t just remake space-time such that [[BigBad Anu]] never existed or something. I mean, it’s within my capability to do that, but who am I to say that I’d create a better existence than this one? Wouldn’t I make mistakes? And what would I do when another Anu appears? Remake space-time again? It’s not a good solution.”
39	* In ''FanFic/TheWeaverOption'' Lelith Hesperax has refined her swordsmanship to such a degree that she can sever and reshape reality with a single swing of her blade. While cutting an anti-matter meteorite in half and freezing it in stasis with this ability was impressive enough, she later demonstrates she can sever the barrier between the Materium and Warp to [[spoiler:destroy a daemon's essence ''permanently'']].
