Is "History Manipulation" basically Fate Manipulation?

Title.

Bump.

When targeting the past it's Causality Manipulation, when targeting the future it can be that power as well, Fate Manipulation or even Probability Manipulation. It all depends on the context.

 

[Antoniofer]

Would be more of a limited Fate Manipulation (can't changes the events to comes directly, only being limited to change stuff from the past in order to obtain a desired result) or Time Manipulation.

 

[Eficiente]

What? Fate Manipulation can't touch the past and Time Manip can't touch things that "exist", like tangible events in history.

 

[Antoniofer]

That's why I refer with the "limited" part, pretty marginal actually, is like "I don't like what this guy does, but I can't change what is what suppose to do, and rather mnipulate its past in the way that he leads to the path I want". But, I guess Causality Manipulation cover that a bit better (they are kinda similar at the end). I said time cuz manipulating [past] events through time may qualify as that.

 

[Eficiente]

Well, if a character could use Time Manip in the present but targeting the past they would have both Time Manip and Causality Manip.

 

[Antoniofer]

Looking a few users that can manipulate the past they generally have Causality Manipulation, although Shukuro have straight up Past Manipulation

 

[Eficiente]

That seems like an unharmful name for its power that is less confusing for most users.

 

[Antoniofer]

Its fine, then the most generic definition of History Manipulation would be Causality Manipulation.
