Linguistic Manipulation is the ability to manipulate the structure and meaning of words, terms, and language itself, including names, definitions, and context. This power allows the user to control language on a fundamental level, altering the very essence of reality by changing the linguistic properties that define objects, abilities, or concepts.

Rename or Redefine Objects and Abilities: By manipulating the terms that define something, users can completely rewrite what an ability or object is, or even erase its definition, rendering it powerless or nonexistent.
- Contextual Manipulation: Users can alter the context in which words or terms are used, shifting the reality of a situation by changing the language's meaning in real time.
- Reality Shifting via Language: By changing the linguistic properties of an object or concept, users can influence how reality interacts with those things.
- Definition Control: The ability to rewrite or remove the definitions of terms, effectively rewriting reality according to the user's intentions.
- Naming Power: Users can give or strip names from people, objects, or concepts, controlling their significance and identity.
