reality warping
Bending what exists
Reality warping is the fictional ability to alter the fabric of existence itself—changing physical laws, reshaping matter, or rewriting events at will.
The concept appears throughout science fiction, fantasy, and comic books, where characters with this power can bend space, time, and causality: The villain's reality-warping abilities made him nearly impossible to defeat.
The term sometimes describes extreme gaslighting or manipulation that makes someone question what's real.
