Ephemerality Manipulation

The power to manipulate ephemerality.
==Also Called==
*Ephemerality Control
*Evanescence Control/Manipulation
*Transience/Transiency Control/Manipulation
==Capabilities==
The user can manipulate ephemerality, the conceptual nature of transience or temporary being. The whole of reality can be conceived as being made up of complementary aspects such as order and chaos, life and death, reality and illusion. One such set is permanence and ephemerality. Where permanence deals with the ability of tangible and intangible entities to endure the test of time and maintain themselves, ephemerality is concerned with the transitory nature of existence. There are various instances where material or immaterial things are known to only exist for a limited time. They come into being only under certain circumstances or are created to last for brief periods. Once conditions change or a particular purpose is served, they disappear or lose their current relevance.
Ephemerality is common in nature. Some formations, like waterways, only exist for a limited time, such as after rain. Some pathways come into being when bodies of water evaporate, only to be covered up again due to precipitation or tide flow. Some islands appear thanks to volcanic activity and disappear due to erosion. There are organisms known for their ephemeral natures. Insects like mayflies have incredibly brief adult lives, mating and dying within a few hours. Some plants only grow in winter or only come into bloom in desert regions after a rainstorm. Processes like olfaction and memory can be considered transitory due to only being used for limited periods at certain times. Even mental activities like dreaming are considered ephemeral due to their temporary natures.
Artificial creations exhibit transient qualities, often referred to as ephemera. They are often used for aesthetics or information transference, considered unnecessary once their purpose has been fulfilled. This can range from advertisements in newspapers and flyers to temporary art installations. Even digital information can be ephemeral due to its fast-paced, quick-changing nature. Planned obsolescence (the practice of designing commodities to fail or become irrelevant and require upkeep or replacement eventually) can be considered a form of economic ephemerality.
Controlling ephemerality allows one to generate effects on the material and immaterial world. Items, events or even powers can be made to exist or appear for only brief periods; conversely, a user could potentially make something transient last longer than normal. One can have control or expertise in managing certain temporary phenomena. One could even control the mindsets of those who encounter ephemeral occurrences. This can be especially potent considering that ephemerality is often a matter of opinion and/or perspective, since the idea of what is persistent and relative is often quite comparable.
