Before we get into this, I'm not advocating for the removal of 4-A, claiming that the stars are illusions, or saying that this feat shouldn't scale to The Furies/Kratos, I'm simply arguing that the feat lacks proof (as in absolute concrete proof, not just shreds of evidence) for it to receive anything more than a possibly/likely rating.
Basically, The Furies used their reality warping to create numerous dimensions during their battle with Kratos, including a replication of at least some of Sparta with a visible moon and some stars in the background, and a horizion-spanning stormy hellhole with tons of isles and volcanoes.
But, the problem is that there's nothing to concretely suggest that the stars, sun and moon are celestial bodies on the same scale as their real (as in real in-universe, not the actual real world we live in) counterparts. And I truly do mean nothing, since we never interact with them, get any statements, or even any kind of implication. Sure, The Furies probably do have intimate knowledge with cosmological phenomena considering their origins, but that's not enough to assume that they can replicate stars 1:1, just that they could if they had the power to, and we don't know if they do due to the lack of proof.
Also, while it can be said that there's nothing against this level of creation power for their reality warping, there's also nothing to prove it from them (or comparable characters, like Kratos) either. In fact, even claiming the city and background isles/volcanoes is 1:1 with the God of War planet somewhat of a stretch, let alone the stars.
In conclusion, the feat literally has no tangible support or any real proof/backing behind it (but that's not to say there's absolutely none), so it should be regulated to a possibly/likely.
If this would somehow change standards for other pocket dimension feats (it wouldn't, from what I've seen), that's a good thing, imo, and we should discuss it here.
On another note, if anyone has any gripes with The Furies' illusion powers and such, take it somewhere else or preferably not at all. This isn't the thread for that, and I'll be deleting such comments.
