Difference between magic and reality warping?

[KazarianFahs]

So magic is unexplainable,it bends/breaks the laws of science to produce an effect that the user desires,reality warping does the same exact thing,it has no scientific explanation,things just do/become what the user wants them to,so is there any real distinction between magic and reality warping? what is the difference between a universe level magic user and universe level reality warper

 

[MagiSinbad]

Magic requires an energy that existed in the mage/magi/magician/ect.... body.

If you has no mana, you cant perform any magic

Reality Wraping doesnt neccessary to be Magic, some people were able to wrap the reality with the difference type of power.

Let take Medaka Box verse at an example, a bunch of characters were able to wrap reality like Misogi and Ajimu Najimi but their power are just listed as "Skills" not magic. Heh, the skills in Medaka Box dont require any mana for the activation. If they want it to be activate then it will be activated

Another example will be JoJo verse. The general power of this verse is not Magic but the stands, yet, those were able to perform the reality wraping on a universe level scale

There are more but i'm too lazy to listing all of those verses

Magic usually requires preparation and comes in the form of spells, which take time to perform.

Reality warping doesn't require preparation and can be used without need of special procedures.

It differ from verse to verse. Sometimes it is the same thing, sometimes - not.

 

[Shining_Trapezohedron]

Magic - Required Mana or other form of supply to use or other time your life force.

Reality Wrap - No requirement ncessary, you can do it anytime you want.

Sometimes the verse decided to mix Magic with Reality wrapping because Magic does the samething with reality wrappjng but it does still require some thing regardless.

i think the easiest difference is that magic requires energy for the wanted task and reality warping usually happens with the users will,

but i can be tricky in some cases, it always depends on the verse...

lets take a comparison of relatively new verses: Boku no Hero Academia and Black Clover,

the former allows chars to perfom pyrokinesis, body transformation+impossible feats with them, have impossible-to-work bodys, and a lot of other stuff, shadow-control, mind manipulation, ice/water/blackhole etc etc etc, technically ALL that can be seen as reality warping,

in the latter the chars have mana in their bodys which fuels the spells in their magic books, it allows element creation and manipulation + other stuff like body control and telephaty, time and space manipulation too, but still, all of this feats are fueled by mana, therefore it is seen as magic

Magic generally relies on some power source and has very specific applications in the form of spells or rituals that have very set in stone effects. Reality warping generally does not require a power source but instead allows the user to do whatever they logically could do within the bounds of whatever their 'ability' is - up to the point where people just overwrite existance in a certain area or even a whole timeline.
