Information Manipulation

The power to control, alter, and even destroy information itself, enabling a wide range of effects from gaining knowledge or altering what people know to warping reality. Information Analysis and Data Manipulation are considered separate abilities.

Types:

1. Knowledge Manipulation:
   • Description: Manipulating information as the medium of knowledge, distinct from manipulating an individual's mind. This ability allows users to, for example, destroy information on a subject to make it inherently unknowable, prevent information from leaving an area, or alter information to change what people know about a subject.
   • Examples:
     • Destroying information on a topic to make it unknowable.
     • Preventing information from being communicated outside a specific area.
     • Altering information to change public knowledge about a subject.
2. Fundamental Manipulation:
   • Description: Manipulating information as a fundamental building block of reality. This allows users to rewrite the world to their whims, much like programming a virtual reality. This manipulation can vary in scope; for some, it might underpin mundane magical abilities, while for others, it enables changing reality, causality, or the laws of nature.
   • Examples:
     • Rewriting reality by altering the informational structure of the world.
     • Changing the laws of nature through information manipulation.
     • Manipulating causality by altering fundamental information.
