If he really could warp reality, why couldn't he just wish a vampire into existence? It does has its limits however, as pointed out by Stiyl. Master of Illusion combined with Clap Your Hands If You Believe is his actual power. For that matter, any sufficiently powerful mythical beings are capable of this, with the Archangels being prime examples.The downside to this is that their 'personal reality' must share a lot of characteristics with the 'real reality', otherwise they will be isolated from reality completely, as with Kazakiri Hyouka in her initial appearances. Their powers work by substituting their own reality into the real world using AIM ( An Involuntary Movement) fields, which also acts as Applied Phlebotinum for many story arcs.

Generally, he doesn't go around doing these sorts of things very often, however, because nigh-omnipotence can become quite boring after several-hundred millennia.

The full extent of his reality warping abilities hasn't been demonstrated, but so far has included materializing and dematerializing matter at will, bestowing forbidden knowledge, granting people immortality and other abilities (as well as slapping on whatever perks and restrictions he wishes), appearing anyplace at anytime, global mind-reading, and shifting in and out of human form at will.

The 'demon' of the Advina Avis (aka Ronnie Schiatto) from Baccano!.

When adding examples, please remember that this trope is extremely common (since even magic in general is technically this trope) so please add only egregious examples, and works that elaborate upon this trope In-Universe or have this trope as a Plot Device.

This trope has nothing to do with I Reject Your Reality, though some Warpers may indeed have that attitude, nor with Master of Reality, the Black Sabbath album. Rewriting Reality is a subtrope, often paired with a Tome of Fate or Reality-Writing Book. Reality warpers often incorporate all varieties of shapeshifting, Winds of Destiny, Change!, Backstory Invader, Space/ Time Master, The Power of Creation, retconjuration, and perhaps more for heaps and heaps of Mind Screwing.Ĭompare Author Powers, Clap Your Hands If You Believe, and Your Mind Makes It Real. Not to be confused with Master of Illusion, as those are only pretending to change or create things (although a reality warper is usually capable of creating illusions, the tropes overlap in that case). For a funny way of defeating reality warpers, see Puff of Logic. For the same reasons, reality warpers who are antagonistic towards the protagonists are prone to Just Toying with Them rather than hitting them. If they are unique then the only solution is Forgot About His Powers or Deus Exit Machina.

Nothing can pose much of a physical threat except other reality warpers (although, depending on the extent of their abilities, they may still be vulnerable to threats they aren't aware they need to stop or don't know how to stop).

Writing characters like this can be a challenge, given how easily this ability can turn into a Story-Breaker Power. Also expect initial Power Incontinence resulting from the power not necessarily being limited to his conscious thoughts, and a character arc about the importance of self control. Protagonists aren't often this character type what's the point of a story when you can just end it right then and there? If the protagonist is one of these, expect them to either have a reason for not using it or for all of the antagonists to have powers on a similar or greater scale. Expect accidentally summoning one of these beings to be an unintended side-effect of warping reality, the abomination will likely go on to be the new antagonist shorty after doing something nasty to the warper. note Some authors however will make Eldritch beings ' beyond' reality warpers and even worse than the warpers themselves (if an analogy is given, it may be something like: the warper can rewrite the lawbook, the abomination is the fire that consumes the courthouse). Eldritch Abominations are often capable of this, usually to horrible ends. Cartoon characters also often employ this ability as a gag.

The common modern fantasy concept of a granting wishes invokes this premise *poof* and stuff happens. However, there's a difference between all magic being technically like this and characters who can change things just by thinking it without following rules of magic like only being able to use existing spells. In both modern Speculative Fiction and older folklore, low-to-moderate versions of Reality Warper are standard-issue for magic, since magic by definition uses its own rules, and therefore defies reality.
