Which Power First?
The Reality Clothes
The Reality Clothes are a garish, unfashionable set of garments that, while laughable to the eye, grant near-unlimited control over reality itself — but only while worn. These clothes may include loud colors, mismatched patterns, or outdated styles that clash so hard with logic and taste that they tear through the fabric of existence. The uglier they are, the stronger your command over reality becomes. You are rewarded not for blending in, but for standing out so harshly that even reality has to bend to make you look “right.”
Once worn, these clothes act as a permanent channel of authority. You can rewrite laws of physics, manipulate outcomes, generate or erase people, change emotional dynamics, or warp concepts like gravity, time, and meaning — all with ease. Reality adjusts itself to match your aesthetic, your logic, your narrative. It doesn’t matter if it makes sense. If you wear polka dots with flame-print pants and reality says that makes you a god, then so it shall be. But the effect is tethered directly to the act of wearing the clothing.
Remove even a single piece of the outfit — the socks, the belt, the ugly vest — and the spell collapses. All changes are undone unless anchored into place by other forms of My Law. The clothing must remain whole, intact, and hideous. If someone improves the appearance — such as altering it to be trendy or stylish — the power significantly weakens. Worse, if society at large begins to accept your outfit as fashionable, the garments lose their world-breaking absurdity, and you become ordinary once more.
The deeper danger is the reality assimilation effect. The longer you wear the Reality Clothes, the more the world adapts to your appearance, until it begins reshaping itself to match your “fashion.” Soon, ugly becomes divine. Neon fur suits and garbage bags become standard attire for world leaders. Fashion trends may shift into surreal parody, and the world itself may become a distorted funhouse mirror where ugliness equals power, and beauty becomes obsolete — or even outlawed.
To master The Reality Clothes, you must embrace the absurd with no shame. You are rewarded for your defiance of taste, for your devotion to contradiction. But be cautious — because in time, reality may no longer distinguish between you wearing the clothes and the clothes wearing the world.
