Why isn't Opposite Manipulation an ability?

I have a question, Why isn't Opposite Manip an ability on site? Like for example, characters with this ability would have the power to reverse, invert, oppose existing attributes or elements. Sorry if this has been mentioned before, im just curious.
 
hmm I see, would it still work the same if it was an object? like turning the colour of the moon to black? because it would have a lot of applications depending on the thing that is getting inverted.
It does have many applications but it kinda depends on how the ability works, let's say someone inverts the concept of good, that would be conceptual manipulation, if you change everything with the color red to blue it would probably be reality manipulation, if you can invert water into wine it could be transmutation, change a men into a women could be biology manipulation and so on. Overall it can be many things depending on what it can be used on
 
Yeah Twilight and Flash are right.

In the most extreme of cases, there's also Law and Type 1 Conceptual Manipulation that may also be qualifiers for this. It also just depends on the context/how the verse explains the mechanics behind how these parallel things are being swapped/opposite'd, however. I think that matters more at the end of the day.

Since three people literally agreed with Power Modification and Power Nullification, the answer is no—your question asked about reversing opposite existing attributes or elements. Yeah, they literally exist, not as someone's power or ability for them to count as Power Modification or Power Nullification, which are about manipulation or nullification of a character's ability or power.

So, reversing fire to water would be water manipulation, reversing water to fire would be fire manipulation, and reversing someone's power or ability—fire to water—would be Power Modification.

As for attributes, if they are in a sense of qualities that make things what they are, manipulating those would be conceptual manipulation.
