Trope Workshop:Chaos Control

Chaos Control is a superpower where a person can control disorder, which is paradoxical but ironically occurs anyway. It’s like a contradiction showing chaos in a certain way. The power would be manipulating chaotic forces that can range from control over probability to altering reality.Anthropomorphic Personifications or even Gods of chaos would have such a power but there are also other beings.

The name is derived from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, where Chaos Control is one of the many powers granted by the Chaos Emeralds.

Typically a subset of Entropy and Chaos Magic.
