According to Matt Wayne (The Story Editor for Ben 10), if there's something that a celestialsapien cannot manipulate directly, they'll change the nature of said thing in order to manipulate it.
He used Mana as an example, which if Alien X wanted to manipulate, would have to change the properties of it, thus allowing him to freely do so.
I believe this falls under Type 2 Conceptual Manipulation. (He specifies it would alter the universe's properties of it)
