Reality manipulation is what we're doing when we write, anyways, though, isn't it? Sometimes we give ourselves restrictions, but they're self-imposed. It becomes an allegory about the writer's responsibility to their work, to some extent.

That's right, that's why I made sure to point it out that characters who can manipulate reality seems like they act as avatars for the writers. It's one thing to become a representation of the responsibility, it's another to be a kind of panacea whenever people write themselves into a corner. I would rather see people try to think of more innovative ways to get around the problem instead of using the tired deus ex machina.
Yes. I think we're agreeing.
Indeed we are!
