Space Manipulation

## Summary

**Space Manipulation** is the ability to bend or manipulate space itself, the fabric of a realm made of one or several dimensions, with the most common uses being limited to the manipulation of our three-dimensional universe.

While most abilities technically have to manipulate space to some level to work, this page only lists uses that directly are related to its direct influence. As such, abilities such as Portal Creation, Teleportation or Summoning are their own pages, even if those can technically be done through some types of **Space Manipulation**.

## Types

**1. Space Warping:** The ability to bend, cut or crack space itself. Instead of manipulating to achieve a specific goal, the user rather pushes the fabric of space to its limit by directly damaging it or by distorting it, which would affect everything standing in range. Since physical matter is usually dependent on space, targetting a physical object with a space-alterating attack makes it a powerful case of Durability Bypassing for anything depending on the affected area.

* Users: Users of Vice Shout (Dragon Ball), Palkia (Pokemon), Yami Sukehiro (Black Clover) through his Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash

**2. Distance Manipulation:** The ability to manipulate the distance, the physical length separating two points in space. Users with this ability can use it to extend space, preventing two objects from reaching each other or to reduce and even delete space, closing the distance between two objects near-instantly. It can also be used to create space loops, trapping an object between two or more points in space that only leads to a specific area.

* Users: Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen), The Hand (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) (Jujutsu Kaisen), The Loop (Card Captor Sakura), Komachi Onozuka (Touhou Project)

**3. Perspective Manipulation:** The ability to perspective, that is, the appearance to the eye of objects in respect to their relative distance and positions. Users of this ability can play with the illusions created by perspective, allowing them to put large objects in the palm of their hand as long as they look small enough to fit from their position, which is farther away or at the opposite, to make a close drop of rain able to fill an entire ocean. In effect, this power acts as a sort of mix between Distance Manipulation and Size Manipulation.

* Users: Dana Ananga Jagannatha (UQ Holder), The Player (Echochrome), Coyote (Gunnerkrigg Court)

**4. Dimension Manipulation:** The ability to add or remove dimensions to an object and manipulate those other than the third one. Users of this ability may be able to remove their or someone's dimensions, which can be either used as a way to go past obstacles by evolving on their surface or as a way to incapacitate someone by making them unable to launch an attack in their direction, or even make them lower than their Point of Reference depending of the mechanics involved. At the opposite, some can also add dimensions to themselves and others, possibly allowing them to ascend above to a higher Tier should the verse treat higher dimensions as Layers, or to mentally harm a target who would be unable to withstand the complexity of a space with more dimensions than their initial ones.

* Users: A Sphere (Flatland), The Boneless (Doctor Who), BB Pele (Fate) through her Noble Phantasm, Cursed・Cutting・Crater

## Limitations

* Beings with Intangible Existence usually are unaffected by this power, since their immaterial nature tends to make them independent from dimensions or coordinates.
* Type 3 may rely on the user's or others' visual perception of an object at a given time.
* While type 4 can be used to lower a being's Tier, it may prove useless against those whose transcendence is unrelated to the concept of higher dimension.
