Oh but he was, and I believe this should fall under significantly affecting, let's provide a few more statements:
Force Storms are dimension-altering and they violate the laws of nature:
The definition of spatial manipulation is as follows:
- Spatial Manipulation is the ability to warp, bend, flip, crush, and control space. The ability only refers to one's ability to manipulate an area, not to defy its laws, so gravity, friction, and many other rules may still apply. Sometimes, the user cannot affect people or objects, but they fold space onto itself, making the object take 2 different places at once. Some users are limited to a specific location or type of space, others are only restricted to their imagination.
It would be pretty disingenuous to assume that this is just mere spatial manipulation with these, since a violation of the laws of the nature is the same as defying it as said in this definition, and not only that, it alters the dimension as a whole, which is the intent here, otherwise they wouldn't go out of their way to say it "twists the space time continuum" or "it shatters the fabric of space"; they are referring to space holistically here, and not talking about a mere portion being affected - they would be quite explicit in the text if that was the intent. Also, pay attention to "shattering" - as shattering is typically a much more violent event than simply tearing a hole in something.
