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.Cosmic entities of chaos such as Anthropomorphic Personifications and Gods would have such power but there are also other beings. Entities like these can even be empowered by chaos as well. There is a weakness to such an ability which are superpowers of order that can counter chaos.

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.
