Our Type 4 Acausality standards currently read:
Given how many things fall into the rather broad category of "different or irregular system of cause and effect," it's just far too presumptuous to give blanket resistances to Causality Manip, Fate Manip, and Precog to everyone who has it. There are many examples of things that could grant Type 4 but logically wouldn't confer any such resistances to any of those abilities. We should qualifying it by specifying that they potentially have such resistances, when supported by specific evidence. For instance:
This is preferable, as it won't deprive anyone from keeping abilities they actually have. We have a similar qualifier for Type 5, so I don't see any reason not to include it here.
Type 4: Irregular Causality: Characters with this type of Acausality operate on a different and irregular system of cause and effect than regular causality. This grants them resistance to abilities such as Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, and Precognition, among others.

This can potentially grant them resistances to abilities such as Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, and Precognition, among others, depending on its shown capabilities which should be specified on the given page.
