Summary[]
Plot Manipulation is the ability to create, destroy, or control the plot that governs reality. Commonly found in metafictional stories, the plot can be understood as a fundamental aspect of reality once one views that reality as fictional. It is the description of the world that doesn't only describe, but determines, reality itself. As such, by altering the plot, one can achieve virtually any effect, in a similar fashion as with Reality Warping.
Despite that, plot manipulation has certain applications that are not exclusive, but characteristic for the power. Such examples are stopping not just time, but the plot, or creating something that lacks any discernible properties until the plot describes what it is (e.g. a glass holding a fluid, that truly is no specific fluid until it is specified that the fluid is water).
Note that plot manipulation should not be listed just because a power is compared to a trope or otherwise metafiction is used as a metaphor. For instance, a character that is lucky or fated to win like the protagonist of a story would only get this power if that is done by altering the plot. Otherwise it would simply be Supernatural Luck or Fate Manipulation. A character only demonstrating destroying plot should only be granted Limited Plot Manipulation without further context regarding creating or controlling plot.
Furthermore, regarding No-Limits Fallacies: Users can not simply be assumed to bring out any imaginable effect. They are assumed to be limited in both applications and scale to what they demonstrated or can be reasoned to be capable based on reliable statements.
Possible Uses[]
- Users may be able to determine how things will proceed by writing into the plot what is going to happen (emulating fate, causality and/or probability manipulation).
- Users may be able transform things into other things by altering their description in the plot.
- Users may be able to retroactively change the past, by changing what is recorded about the past in the plot.
- Users may be able to control the action and/or thoughts of others by writing what they do or think into the plot.
- Users may create things by writing that they are present into the plot.
- Users may erase things by erasing any mention of them from the plot.
