Conceptual Manipulation

## Description

Concept Manipulation is a formidable and abstract power that involves the ability to directly influence, alter, or control fundamental concepts or ideas that govern reality, existence, and the very fabric of a fictional universe. This power goes beyond manipulating physical matter or energy; it allows the user to shape the very rules, principles, and underlying concepts that define how the universe operates.

With Concept Manipulation, the user can reshape reality by altering concepts such as time, space, causality, probability, and even more abstract concepts like life, death, emotions, etc.

## Types of conceptual manipulation

**1.- Autonomous Universal Concepts**: These concepts possess absolute independence from the facets of reality they oversee, barring potential interactions with similar concepts. They hold dominion over the entirety of reality within their respective realms of influence, regardless of the dimensional strata in which these realms manifest. All entities within these domains are inherently intertwined with these concepts, effectively "engaging" with their intrinsic qualities. For instance, an object's circular nature is a manifestation of its interaction with the "circularity" notion. Consequently, any alteration to these concepts reverberates across all entities encapsulated within their spheres of influence. Conversely, manipulating the entities themselves would not impact the core essence of these autonomous concepts.

**2.- Reliant concepts**: These concepts are of an abstract nature and preside over the entire scope of reality within their jurisdiction. They hold sway over all entities, and any alteration to them necessitates either a comprehensive revision of every entity encapsulated within the notion or, if directly manipulated, an overhaul of all related entities in conjunction with the notion itself. Remarkably, these concepts coexist and are intricately interwoven with the very entities they govern. Consequently, an abstract reliant notion can be disassembled through the annihilation of all affiliated entities, reconstituted by reestablishing an entity belonging to a preexisting notion, or modified via a comprehensive transformation of all linked entities across the entirety of reality. Importantly, this mode of conceptual manipulation does not fall within the realm of inherent qualification; rather, it is treated as an ancillary outcome stemming from another action, akin to a "domino effect." This particular form of conceptual manipulation can exclusively be attained through direct modification of the abstract notion itself, void of any indirect methodologies.

**3.- Subordinate Foundational concepts:** These concepts fall short of adhering to the benchmarks set by Type 1 or Type 2 classifications. They encompass personal concepts that persistently oversee the concerned entity, albeit within a more delimited ambit, or concepts whose intrinsic characteristics lack comprehensive exposition. Detailed delineations and illustrative instances become imperative for comprehending such concepts, replete with examples that substantiate their function. These concepts are unlikely to attain the same caliber of proficiency as abilities like High-Godly Regeneration, and as a result, their status remains contingent upon discerning specific cases. This category of conceptual manipulation is susceptible to resistance from entities equipped with comparably resilient capabilities, even if the mechanics themselves might diverge.
